A Study on Design Method of Tap-off with High Performance for CATV Transmitting Circuits

CATV 신호전송용 Tap-off의 고성능 설계법에 관한 연구

The conventional weakly-coupled tap-off for CATV and/or MATV transmitting circuits has been fabricated empirically and experimentally. So, the theoretical analysis or the design method of the conventional one has not been established, the characteristics of which were not good. To solve these problems, we have proposed a modified weakly-coupled freedom in design. This paper describes the design theories and analysis method of the theoretical frequency characteristics of a Modified Weakly-coupled Tap-off with high density of coupling intervals for CATV and/or MATV system. From the theoretical analysis it has been shown that the frequency characteristics of the tap-off proposed here are improved much in comparision with the conventional one. Furthermore, the practical measurements of frequency characteristics for the fabricated circuits show agreement with the theoretical results, and hence, the validity of proposed design and analysis methods has been confirmed.

종래부터 CATV 및 MATV 시스템에서 신호전송용으로 널리 사용되고 있는 Tap-off는 단지 경험직+실험적으로 제작되러 왔으며, 이론적인 해석이나 엄밀한 설계법이 확립되어 있지 않았기 때문에 그 성능에 있어서도 대역폭이 좁거나 분기특성이 나쁜 문제점이 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 원형의 약결합형 신호분기기에 보조변성기가 부가된 변형된 약결합형 신호분기기들 제안하여 설계의 자유도를 높임으로써 대단히 조밀한 결합간격의 회로구성이 가능함을 밝히고, 또한 이들에 대한 이론적 주파수특성을 계산하여 신험치와 비교함으로써 제안한 설계법의 타당성을 확인하였다.
