A new analysis method of lumped-element directional coupler for CATV was proposed, where the even-and odd-mode theory for a symmetrical coupled-line directional coupler was applied to a transformer-type directional coupler. In addition, the tap-offs were analyzed by the proposed theory, which are widely used in CATV (Cable Television) systems. By comparing the calculated results for S-parameters results to the measured ones using only the even-and odd-mode reflection coefficients, the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed. Then, it was clearly shown that the tap-off has very wide bandwidth from 5 MHz to 4,000 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

Then, the tap-off has been broadened from 5 MHz over 4,000 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even-odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri-band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.

In this paper, we have designed a small size lumped/distributed hybrid element directional coupler using parallel coupled-line theory. a hybrid lumped equivalent circuit for a conventional parallel directional coupler is proposed. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler are derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of a parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have extracted design parameters and designed the 3㏈ and 10㏈ small size lumped element directional couplers at the center frequency of 2Ghz. Excellent agreements between design theory and simulation on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper.

This paper presented the extraction solution for the coupling coefficient at the magnetically coupled wireless power transmission(WPT) system through the analysis of its equivalent circuit considering the loss. The conventional extraction solution using coupled mode theory is generalized employing the extracted solution considering the load resistance. Consequently, the measuring process of extracting coupling coefficient becomes convenient since the even/odd mode analysis is not necessary. Furthermore, the coupling coefficient obtained from the induced extraction method was in excellent agreement with the coupling coefficient obtained using the ratio of magnetic flux passing through the two loops. The extraction of the accurate coupling coefficient at the magnetically coupled WPT is an essential work to analyze and optimize the WPT system.

In this paper, a coupled-line type waveguide bandpass filter is newly proposed. The proposed bandpass filter configuration consists of magnetically coupled waveguide cavities. In order to show the background of the proposed waveguide bandpass filter, the general coupled line TEM bandpass filter theory, which means the coupled line filter with arbitrary coupled line length and impedance level, will be briefly introduced. Calculations for the even- and odd-mode wave impedance of a coupled line waveguide structure are achieved based on the normalized impedance concept for a broad-side coupled waveguides by using vector finite element method(VFEM) calculation. Measured result of an implemented coupled-line type waveguide filter is presented.

In this paper, lumped equivalent circuits for a conventional parallel directional coupler are proposed. This equivalent circuits only have self inductance and self capacitance, so we can design exact lumped equivalent circuit. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler is derived based on the even- and odd-mode properties of parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have designed the 3dB and 4.7dB MMIC couplers at the center frequency of 3.4GHz and 5.6GHz respectively. Measurements for the designed MMIC directional couplers show at 4dB and 5.2dB-coupling value at the center frequency of 3.4GHz and 5.6GHz. Excellent agreements between simulation results and measurement results on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper

Much time and labor has been conventionally paid for fine adjustment of circuit elements by experience to improve the characteristics of Tap-off for CATV systems. To solve the problem, in this paper, the relations between the even- and odd-mode impedance. Z$_{oe}$ and Z$_{oo}$ of symmetrical 4-port coupled-line directional coupler and power dividing characteristics of Tap-off for CATV system have been derived. After the coupling, the reflectivity and the isolation are represented by Z$_{oe}$ and Z$_{oo}$ only, the fine adjustment of all S-parameters can be performed by controling the elements of Z$_{oe}$ and Z$_{oo}$ only. Furthermore, the validity of the new fine adjustment method proposed here has been confirmed by experiments.
