In this work, a broadband microstrip (MSL) - to - waveguide (WR12) transition has been presented for millimeter-wave module applications. For improvement of a bandwidth, the radial MSL electrical-probe is designed on the low-loss organic dielectric substrate. The designed and tested characteristics of the proposed transition are characterized in terms of an insertion and return loss. Considering the loss contribution of the cable adapter and waveguide transition for the measurement, the proposed transition loss can be analyzed as -1.88 and -2.01 dB per a transition at 70 and 80 GHz, respectively. The bandwidth of the proposed transition for reflection at -10 dB is 26 GHz at all test frequencies from 67 to 95 GHz. Compared to the state-of-the-art results, improvement of 8.3 % is achieved for the operation bandwidth.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a broadband probe with a double-ridged waveguide for broadband near-field measurements. An exponentially tapered ridge in the rectangular waveguide and a novel waveguide transition were used for broadband impedance matching. The probe has broadband characteristics and its measured impedance bandwidth is approximately 123% (4.17:1) in the range 12.0-50 GHz for standing wave ratios (SWR) < 3.0. The peak radiation gain range and nominal radar cross-section (RCS) are 5.7-14.3 dBi. The performance of this probe was verified using the measured results and is in good agreement with the simulated results.

This paper presents a waveguide-to-mircostrip transition at Ka-band using antipodal finlines. Critical design parameters were identified with the help of theoretical analysis. Experimental optimization was performed together with 3-D FEM analysis in an effort to find optimum dimensions of the transition. In addition to the conventional antipodal finline transition, a new dielectric impedance transformer was introduced to further reduce the insertion loss. Optimized waveguide-to-microstrip transition showed an insertion loss of 0.3~0.4dB/transition at Ka-band. This transition provides superior reproducibility and better performance than conventional coaxcable-to-microstrip transition.

The structures of inductive irises are used commonly in waveguide filter, especially at highter frequencyies, due to low loss and high temperature stability. However, the iris thickness can not be neglected, as it could be at the lower frequencies. Approximate models assuming zero thickness fail to predict the exact behavior of the filter. And current thickness correction is introduced which is valid in the case of thick irises only. Account of the effect of round is normally not taken. So the necessity of finding a relation for the two factors-iris thickness and round-arises in the design of waveguide filters. This paper describes a mutual relation that considers the combined effect of finite thickness and round from the start. In order to test the validity of the changed relation, weveral examples are given. And the measured response of each case is then compared with the predicted reponse. And it is shown that the radius is of perceptible influence on the transmission coefficient through a thick iris.

The independent operation of a color filter for incident polarization is demonstrated using a guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter employing a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. To achieve independent operation, a rectangular MIM grating is proposed as a wave-guide resonator. The design considerations are discussed and include how to determine the grating period and slit width. Power flow distribution is observed with slit width variation. Blue-green, green-red, and blue-red filters for corresponding x- and y-polarizations are demonstrated as application examples with numerical simulation with rectangle-shaped MIM grating. As a practical application, feasibility as a chromatic polarizer is discussed.

We have demonstrated a refractometer for liquid based on a side-polished fiber. The device consists of a side-polished single mode fiber and a rectangular space which plays a role of the multimode planar waveguide when it is infused with a liquid. We presented a simple method to acquire the refractive index of a liquid by use of the spacings of periodic resonance wavelengths of the device. The resolution of the fabricated refractometer was order of $10^{-5}$

The structure consisting of an E-plane dielectric slab partially filling a rectangular waveguide is examined with attention on those higher order mode propagation characteristics that are relevant to the design of nonreciprocal remanence ferrite phase shifters. The mechanisms for the elimination of $LSE_{11}$, $LSM_{11}$, $LSE_{12}$ modes are introduced. Experimental verification of elimination of higher order mode is shown in the form of insertion loss measurements.

구형도파관의 넓은 면에 축방향 슬롯을 파고 또 각각의 슬롯을 축방향으로 배열하였 때의 원거리 방사패턴을 구하는 과정을 보였으며 측정된 결과와 계산결과를 비교하였다. 방사전자계는 슬롯의 표면에 유기되는 등가의 자기전류로부터 계산할 수 있으며 임의의 개수를 가지는 배열안테나의 경우에는 각각의 슬롯이 자기 어드미턴스와 상호결합에 의한 영향을 받기 때문에 원하는 방사패턴을 얻기 위해서는 상호 어드미턴스를 고려하여 슬롯의 길이와 오프셋을 고려하여야 한다. 슬롯에서의 전계분포 해석은 모멘트법(method of moment)을 사용하여 해석하였다. 본 연구에서는 직선편파특성을 가지는 슬롯 배열 안테나의 설계를 위하여 슬롯의 자기 및 상호 어드미턴스를 구하고, 반복적인 수치해석 과정을 통하여 입력임피던스의 최적화 방법에 대하여 논하였다.

A low loss optical waveguide of $P_{2}O_{5}-SiO_{2}$on Si substrate is produced by using the chemical vapour deposition method of $SiO_2$ thin films used in Si technology. Propagation loss of the waveguide layer was 1.65 dB/cm as produced and reduced down to 0.1 dB/cm after heat treatment at $1100^{\circ}C$. By using laser lithography and reactive ion etching method $P_{2}O_{5}-SiO_{2}$ waveguide was produced and subsequently annealed at $1100^{\circ}C$.As a result of this annealing the shape of the waveguide core was changed from rectangular to semi-circular form, and the propagation loss was reduced as down to 0.03 dB/cm at 0.6328$\mu$m and 0.04dB/cm at 1.53$\mu$m. We think that the mechanism of the reduction in propagation loss during the heat treatment is the following: 1) The hydrogen bonding in waveguide layer, which causes absorption loss, is dissociated and diffused out. 2) The roughness of the interface and the micro-structure of the waveguide layer is removed. 3) The irregularities in the cross-sectional shape of the waveguide which was induced during the lithographic process were disappeared by flowing of the waveguide core.

Theoretical method for analyzing the radiation pattern of cross-type 5-patch rectangular microstrip antenna is presented. The equivalent circuit of the array antenna is represented by the conventional transmission line model and the radiation admittance derived from the equivalent circuit of the slitted parallel-plate waveguide filled with a dielectric. The calculated results for the radiation pattern are compared with the measured values.
