This paper presents the study results on a dual band feed horn for the focused reflector. A coaxial waveguide structure is attractive to avoid blockage from the feeder. The inner conductor as a hollow waveguide is designed to excite TE11 of a circular waveguide for high frequency. For low frequency, the design of the outer coaxial waveguide that propagates coaxial TE11 and prevents fundamental TEM is presented. The horn size for generation of these modes results in the degradation of performance. The return loss is improved by a capacitive iris and an inductive iris The enhanced pattern symmetry by dual mode is presented. The horn design in this paper are verified through the test.

In this paper, we proposed a procedure to analyze a shielded-microstrip step discontinuity using the mode matching method (MMM) combined with the vector finite element method (VFEM), which is used to find the equivalent waveguide-model for a microstrip. In order to calculate the effective-widths and -dielectric permittivity of the equivalent waveguide-model corresponding shielded-microstrip, the propagation constant and characteristic impedance are calculated from the VFEM. MMM is then applied to find the scattering parameter in the planar waveguide. This technique makes it possible to take advantage of the high accuracy of the VFEM as well as the high efficiency of the MMM.

Integrated-optic polarization controlling devices such as polarizers, polarization splitters, and polarization converters, are proposed and demonstrated in nonlinear optic polymers. Poling-induced birefringence in electro-optic polymers is exploited to fabricate the devices. The polymeric waveguide polarizers show low excess losses, and extinction ratios of 20.7 dB and 17.1 dB for TM-pass and TE-pass polarizers, respectively. The polymeric waveguide polarization splitters exhibit TE-TM mode splittings with crosstalk of 14.2 dB and 10.1 dB for TM and TE mode splittings, respectively. The polymeric waveguide polarization converters show successful TE/TM polarization mode conversion with conversion efficiencies of higher than 30 dB. The device employs poling-induced waveguides which have slowly rotating azimuth angle of optic axis along the light propagation direction. The novel polarization converter is insensitive to wavelength and easier to fabricate than the other polarization converters containing periodic structures.

In this work, a broadband composite right/left-handed (CRLH) half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) quadrature Wilkinson power divider is proposed. The proposed CRLH-HMSIW quadrature power divider includes a microstrip Wilkinson power divider on the transition structure between the microstrip and HMSIW, and two thru transmission lines for the HMSIW and the CRLH-HMSIW. The measured amplitude, phase difference and isolation between the two output ports of the proposed structure have 1 dB, ${\pm}5^{\circ}$ and less than -15 dB in a wide frequency range of 4.1-6.68 GHz with 47.9% bandwidth, respectively.

The mutual relations and equivalence between the boundary conditions for electromagnetic waves are discussed in terms of a waveguide step. In order to verify our approach, the reflection characteristics of a rectangular waveguide step are compared with respect to the boundary conditions. The characteristics of a rectangular waveguide step are analyzed with a mode-matching technique. In order to verify our approach, convergence behaviors and electromagnetic distributions are shown.

Laser direct writing process is developed 3rd harmonic Diode Pumped Solid State Laser with the near visible wavelength of 355 m sensitive polymer is irradiated by UV laser and developed using polymer solvent to obtain quasi-3D. It is important to reduce line width for image mode waveguides, so some investigations will be carried out in various conditions of process parameters such as laser power, writing speed, laser focus and optical properties of polymer. This process could be to fabricate a single mode waveguide without expensive mask projection method. Experimentally, the patterns of trapezoidal shape were manufactured into dimension of 8.4 mm width and 7.5 mm height. Propagation loss of straight waveguide measured 3 dB/cm at 1,550 nm.

In this study, we performed a modeling for $K^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide and waveguide-type optical coupler by WKB(Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouim) dispersion equation, field distribution equation of mode and coupled mode theory, and examined the optical-power-dividing of the optical coupler fabricated by using the modeling condition. The optical-power-dividing was observed at the waveguide-type optical coupler with 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] space between channel waveguides, and 3[mm] interaction length.

An electrostatic boundary-value problem of a dielectric-wedge-backed, double-slotted conducting wedge is investigated to analyze an asymmetric coplanar waveguide with an infinite dielectric thickness using the Mellin transform and a mode-matching method. Our theoretical solution based on eigenfunction expansion and residue calculus is a rigorous and fast-convergent series form. Numerical computations are conducted to evaluate the potential field, capacitance, and characteristic impedance for various structures of the asymmetric coplanar waveguide. The computed results show good agreement with the simulated results.

We report theoretical and experimental results for the wavelength and polarization selectivity of a fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler made of a side polished single mode fiber covered with a planer waveguide incorporating a thin metal film. A simple but exact approach to obtain the modal properties of multilayer planar waveguide with a thin metal film is described. The device was modeled into equivalent 1 dimensional structure and its behaviour was analyzed based on coupled mode theory. The effects of metal film thickness and refractive index of superstrate on the device properties were measured and explained.
