Abstract

A method is newly presented to synthesize the modal impedances satisfying the desired coupling factor of a reflective (or hack ward) coupled-line. The synthesis is achieved by optimal perturbations of repeating null points of lobes inherent to the solution of the first order nonlinear differential equation for coupling. It is based on the synthesis method of nonlinear source distribution functions for the prescribed space factor pattern in the one-dimensional array antenna. Here, the conventional synthesis method for the even distribution function is extended to the odd case. Resulting modal impedances will have continuously varying profiles. The design procedure of asymmetrical and symmetrical couplers corresponding to the even and odd distribution functions, is examplified to show the generalization and the simplicity of the proposed method.

반사형(혹은 역방향) 결합선로에서 원하는 결합도를 가질 수 있도록 모드 특성임피던스를 합성하는 방법을 새로이 제안하였다. 결합도를 나타내는 일차 비선형 미분방정식의 해 혹은 Riccati 해가 갖는 반복되는 lobe들의 최소점, 즉 null점들을 최적 섭동시키므로서 최적 합성이 이루어진다. 이 과정을 위해 일차원 배열 안테나의 공간인자 패턴 제어를 통한 일차원 비선형 소스 분포함수 합성법을 근간으로 하였으며, 기존의 우함수형 분포함수 합성을 기함수형까지 확장 적용할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 그 결과로서 도출된 모드 특성임피던스들은 연속적이고 비선형적인 프로필을 가지게 된다. 합성된 우함수형 및 기함수형 분포함수에 대응되는, 비대칭형 및 대칭형 결합기들을 비교 분석하였으며, 기존의 설계방법에 비해 일반적이고 간단함을 보였다.
