  • The optical power splitter/couplers based on MMI(multimode interference) in GaAs/AlGaAs are studied. We presetn a design of optical power splitter/couplers, which have deeply etched multimode waveguide. The properties and fabrication tolerance on the etching depth, multimode waveguide width are simulatedusing a FD-BPM (finite difference beam propgation method). Proposed 1*N optical of designed device is 0.7dB smaller than the optical power splitter with a shallowly etched MMI section. For 0.5dB excess loss, the predicted fabrication tolerance is 0.6.mu.m on the multimode waveguide width of the 14 optical power splitter with a deeply etched MMI section. Also excess loss and uniformity of poposed 32*32 optical power coupler are below 0.3dB. The excess loss of proposed 32*32 optical power coupler is 2dB smaller than the optical power coupler with a shallowly etched MMI section. It is shown that the optical power splitters/couplers with a deeply etched mMI section have low loss, good uniformity, and improved fabriction tolerance.

  • The partial discharge (PD) measurement is a very effective method to assess the winding insulation condition of high-voltage machines, since most of the insulation failure processes are directly or indirectly caused by PD. On-line PD measurements, which can detect insulation defects of winding in the early stages on rotating machines in operation, have been accepted as the most important technique. The epoxy mica capacitive coupler is currently and extensively used for on-line detection of PD pulses of high-voltage rotating machines. To evaluate the feasibility of developing a capacitive coupler that is easier to manufacture at a lower cost compared to epoxy mica couplers, a 100pF capacitive coupler made of ceramic material is designed, fabricated and tested for on-line PD measurements of 23 kV electrical machines. A series of electrical tests and accelerated aging tests are performed on the ceramic coupler to evaluate the performance requirements, long-term reliability and thermal stability for in field application. The test results show that the newly developed ceramic coupler provides equal and improved performance at a lower cost compared to epoxy mica couplers, and estimated voltage life is anticipated to surpass 100 years.

  • Inthis paper, we design 4$\times$4 optical star coupler with tapered coupling structure. The 4$\times$4 optical star coupler consists of four 3dB couplers and a 100% coupler with tapered structure. This star coupler is designed by the 2 dimension FD-BPM(finite difference beam propagation method) using TBC(transparent boundary condition). consequently, the maximum power unbalance ratios of relative output power from each of the output waveguides for each of input guides are less than 0.1dB, and the transmission efficiency is more than 99%.

  • The theoretical formulations are derived for calculating optical power change for intensity modulated fiber optical microphone. The optical power change is due to optical paths, misalignment and geometry of optical coupler. Based on the theoretical equations, three different optical couplers are simulated with respect to several angles of optical couplers. In order to evaluate the formulation, a multi-mode to multi-mode coupler which is one of abovementioned optical couplers is designed and characterized by carving out both static experiments and dynamic experiments. Considering experimental results, this paper conclude that the theoretical formulations is very useful for design optical coupler and this kind of fiber optic sensor is adequate to microphone.

  • The UWB UHF coupler for GIS PD detection requires a balun (balance to unbalance transformer) to show its inherent UWB characteristics. In order to reduce the size of the balun and to make it practical in the conventional GIS, a novel tapered coaxial balun with a dielectric was proposed for the UWB UHF coupler. The performance of the proposed balun was verified through a series of simulations, measurements and experiments. As a result, both the conventional balun and the proposed balun, which has a length equal to one third of that of the conventional balun, demonstrated good S11 characteristics, whereas the efficiency of the proposed balun increased as much as about 30% in comparison to the conventional one.

  • In this paper, a 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler with both power division and harmonic rejection characteristics is presented by applying a LPF characteristic to a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid. Since a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler operates as a power divider/combiner using phase difference, it does not suppress higher order harmonics when it is incorporated with nonlinear amplifier. This requires an additional filter to take into account of the harmonics. The proposed 90$^{\circ}$hybrid coupler power provides the division capability and proper phase difference, as well as harmonic suppression characteristic by integrating LPF characteristic.

  • We observed the application possibility of inductive coupler for the underground high-voltage power line communication by means of analysis of signal transmission characteristics and magnetic properties on annealing temperatures for high-permeability Fe-base amorphous alloys. The best electromagnetic and transmission characteristics were shown in nano-crystalline precipitated alloy annealed at temperature $510^{\circ}C$. The transmission characteristics in the low-frequency band depend on permeability of magnetic core materials and its properties of high-frequency band can be improved by impedance matching. Using the high pass filter embedded in the coupler, other noise signal band except for communication signals could be cut off.

  • It is now common practice to utilize the quadrature RF coils to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System. In addition, to make such an available SNR improvement, it is mandatory to use a well-designed quadrature coupler, which facilitates a perfect 3-dB coupling and quadrature-phase shift. However, the four ports matching condition has to be well considered during the RF excitation and the signal detection period. This work investigates the effects of such a mismatching condition (especially, due to patient) from the analysis, simulation, and real implementation and firstly proposes dynamic loading technique for a quadrature coupler and transmitting/receiving switch module to minimize a patient mismatching and enhance a system reliability. Also, we designed and implemented the quadrature coupler and transmitting/receiving switch module using microstrip. As a result, the SNR of our MRI system using the microstrip quadrature coupler and transmitting/receiving switch module with dynamic load increases 3 dB compared with the old one using USA quadrature switch. Also, the power capability of quadrature coupler and transmitting/receiving switch module is 5-kw peak power. Considering power loss and reduction of size, we used a RT/duroid 6010 substrate with high permittivity and for simulation we use Compact Software.

  • The Channel environment is poor in the power line communication because power line proposed power supply use a communication medium. In this paper, we designed gate drive circuit used coupler reducing the signal diminution for the good communication. We analyzed receiving and transmitting operation of the coupler and designed the drive circuit with the suitable impedance. As a result, we improved the environment of impedance variation due to the inter reaction of many electron products. So, to improve BER(45%) enabled us to communicate smoothly in power line communication.

  • This paper presents a power detector circuit which monitors the transmitting power for the application in CDMA cell phones. The proposed power detector are composed of coupler for coupling output power and detector fur monitoring output power. The designed coupler has low loss characteristic because it adopts the stripline structure which consists of two ground planes at both sides of signal plane. The design frequency is 824-849MHz which is the Tx band fur CDMA mobile terminal, and the coupling factor of the stripline coupler is -20dB. A schottky barrier diode is adopted for detector design because of its high speed operation with minimized loss. The required impedance matching is performed to improve the linearity and sensitivity of output voltage at relatively low detector input level where the nonlinear characteristic of diode exists. The package parasitics as well as intrinsic diode model are considered for simulation of the detector. The predicted performances agree well with the measured results.
