Si-based electromagnetic noise suppressors on coplanar waveguide transmission lines incorporated with a $SiO_2$ dielectric layer and a nanogranular Co-Fe-Al-O magnetic thin film are reported. Unlike glass-based devices, large signal attenuation is observed even in the bare structure without coating the magnetic thin film. Much larger signal attenuation is achieved in fully integrated devices. The transmission scattering parameter ($S_{21}$) is as small as -90 dB at 20 GHz at the following device dimensions; the thicknesses of the $SiO_2$ and Co-Fe-Al-O thin films are 0.1 $\mu$m and 1 $\mu$m, respectively, the length of the transmission line is 15 mm, and the width of the magnetic thin film is 2000 $\mu$m. In all cases, the reflection scattering parameter ($S_{11}$) is below -10 dB over the whole frequency band. Additional distributed capacitance formed by the Cu transmission line/$SiO_2$/Si substrate is responsible for these characteristics. It is considered that the present noise suppressors based on the Si substrate are a first important step to the realization of MMIC noise suppressors.

A multivariable equalizer is designed which compensates transmission distortion for coaxial transmission line. The characteristic transfer function with bilateral parameter domain is approximated using the expansion method of orthonormal function and Gram Schmidt orthogonal function, but the parameter domain of approximated function is limited to unilateral. To solve that problem, Bode type transfer function is used to give bilateral variable characteristic to approximated function. The multivariable equalizer in this paper can be substituted for the current equalizer which consist of a fixed equalizer and a variable equalizer.

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of power reflection and transmission coefficients for a meander-line polarizer placed periodically on a chiral slab. It is assumed that a linearly polarized transverse magnetic wave is incident on a chiral slab from the air region. In the analysis, we derive the electric and magnetic fields in the modal form in the air and chiral regions. We obtain power reflection and transmission coefficients in a straightforward manner after matching the tangential components of the electric and magnetic fields at the boundaries. We present numerical results for the power reflection and transmission coefficients versus frequency and incident angle for different values of the chirality admittance. A meander-line polarizer placed on a dielectric slab can convert a linearly polarized wave to a circularly polarized wave. The design parameters for a meander-line polarizer are the dimensions of the meander-line and the values of the dielectric slab. Replacing a dielectric slab with a chiral slab introduces a new independent parameter which controls the wave polarization.

It is very important to predict and analyze the change of voltage and current distribution of current strap, abnormal voltage distribution of transmission line and resonance phenomenon by coupling between current straps for more stable operation of ICRF system. In this study, to understand those phenomena by coupling, 8-port coupled transmission line model is completed by appling S-parameter measured in the prototype KSTAR ICRF antenna to the model. The determined self-inductance, mutual-inductance and capacitance of antenna straps are shown to be lower than that calculated from 2D approximate model due to finite length of strap. The coupled transmission line model of current strap will be utilized to the operation of ICRF system of KSTAR in the future.

When the integration density and operating frequency increase in the electronic circuits, it is important to improve the signal transmission characteristics. In this paper, the signal transmission characteristics of the printed circuit boards are analyzed with the curvature of the pads. From the simulation results, signal transmission characteristics are improved when pad curvature increases. Pad curvature more effects on signal transmission characteristics when the thickness of the transmission line and the length of the transmission decrease.

In this work, transmission characteristics of read and write signal were calculated when a MRAM (magnetic random access memory) cell is operated up to 10 GHz. Test device having long read and write lines was modeled in 3 dimensions to perform a simulation. The simulation was divided into two parts, read and write operations, and S-parameters were computed utilizing FEM (finite element method) algorithm. Transmission coefficients, S$\sub$21/, for read and write operations of MRAM device which was designed for a single cell test configuration were analyzed from DC to 1 GHz and DC to 10 GHz, respectively. When the insulator thickness between the bit and sense lines was increased from 500 to 1500 ${\AA}$, 3 dB attenuation frequency was increased by 3.3 times, from 135 to 430 MHz. The length of the bit and sense lines were 600 ${\mu}$m. In addition, access time was estimated by calculating the propagation delay utilizing S-parameters.

The resonant mechanism of reradiation interference (RRI) over 1.7MHz from power transmission lines cannot be obtained from IEEE standards, which are based on researches of field intensity. Hence, the resonance is ignored in National Standards of protecting distance between UHV power lines and radio stations in China, which would result in an excessive redundancy of protecting distance. Therefore, based on the generalized resonance theory, we proposed the idea of applying model-based parameter estimation (MBPE) to estimate the generalized resonance frequency of electrically large scattering objects. We also deduced equation expressions of the generalized resonance frequency and its quality factor Q in a lossy open electromagnetic system, i.e. an antenna-transmission line system in this paper. Taking the frequency band studied by IEEE and the frequency band over 1.7 MHz as object, we established three models of the RRI from transmission lines, namely the simplified line model, the tower line model considering cross arms and the line-surface mixed model. With the models, we calculated the scattering field of sampling points with equal intervals using method of moments, and then inferred expressions of Padé rational function. After calculating the zero-pole points of the Padé rational function, we eventually got the estimation of the RRI’s generalized resonant frequency. Our case studies indicate that the proposed estimation method is effective for predicting the generalized resonant frequency of RRI in medium frequency (MF, 0.3~3 MHz) band over 1.7 MHz, which expands the frequency band studied by IEEE.

High speed probe for measurement of sin91e flux quantum circuits is comprised of coaxial cables and microstrip lines in order to carry high speed signals without loss. For the impedance matching between coaxial cable and microstrip line, we have determined the dimension of the microstrip line with 50${\Omega}$ impedance by simulation and then have investigated the effect of line width and cross-sectional shape of signal line, dielectric material, thickness of soldering lead at the coaxial-to-microstrip transition Point, and the an91c between dielectric material and end part of the signal line on the characteristics of signal transmission of the microstrip line. From the simulation, we have found that these all parameter's had influenced on the characteristic of signal transmission on the microstrip line and should be reflected in fabricating high speed probe, We have also determined the dimension of coplanar waveguide to fabricate testing sample for performance test of high speed probe.

In this paper it is shown that the meander line at the low frequency can be thought as the single transmission line whose characteristic impedance is approximately equal to that without coupling. But the length is contracted from that without coupling. The approximate contraction ratio is derived for weak coupling and is compared with the circuit simulation results and the EM simulation results. The formula are in good agreement with the simulation results in weak coupling.
