In this paper, a novel architecture for device miniaturization of multimode interference-based (MMI) couplers is proposed. The coupling length of $N{\times}N$ MMI couplers scales as the square of the MMI region width so that the use of these structures with large-N ports can require large chip size. To solve the design problem, the butterfly grating-assisted MMI couplers, that have smaller device dimensions than conventional MMI couplers, are discussed and evaluated. Numerical simulations and novel design rules for such structures derived through theoretical analysis are presented.

A novel optical coupling filter with finite-thickness metal-strip gratings printed on optical planar dielectric slabs is proposed, and Bragg conditions of the device are rigorously evaluated by using Modal Transmission-Line Theory (MTLT). The numerical results reveal that the guiding structures have filtering properties due to a leaky-wave stop-band while conventional DFB guiding structures consisted of dielectric gratings depend on a feedback-wave stop-band. Consequently, it shows that the optical coupling titter dependent on the leaky-wave filtering characteristics can be compounded of such optical devices as LD and optical fiber.

Strongly motivated by the need for significant reduction in the optics-to-antenna interface circuitry used in a Photonically controlled array, it has proposed the design development of a novel 'true photonic antenna' consisted of optical fiber and micro-strip antenna. To clarify the design capability of the geometry, modal transmission-line theory including the discontinuity property between circular i,nd planar guiding structures is defined, md the optical power coupling of a slot-coupled microstrip antenna directly fed from an optical fiber using photoconductive effect is evaluated numerically. The numerical results reveal that the maximum power transfer between the two different guiding structures occurs at a new point in which the guiding powers of two rigorous modes are equally partitioned.

Recently, various simplified simulation techniques such as firite-difference beam propagation method and non-orthogonal coupled-mode theory have proposed to analyze the optical characteristics of tapered directional couplers supported by the coupling of two propagating modes. Although these approaches are often in sufficiently accurate, they do not provide the detailed solutions encountered in the analysis of tapered guiding structures. For this purpose, we introduce and utilize a newly developed modal transmission-line theory to analyze rigorously power transfer of the directional coupler. The numerical result reveals that the propagation constants of even and odd modes converge to a single value as increasing the spacer thickness between two symmetric tapered guides. Furthermore, 97% of the power incident into a guiding channel is transmitted to the other channel at the tapered angle ${\theta}=0.1^{\circ}$, and the efficiency of power transfer decreases dramatically as increasing the angle.

In this paper, series-fed mirostrip array anteenas with coupling-slots are prposed and their operating characteristics are analyzed based on analyzed based on analytical and experimental results. An accurate analysis method for the slot-coupled feed structure is based on using both circuit coupling between anteenas and full-wave analysis which use travling wave mode and non-traveling wave mode on feed line. The basis functions that used for the numerical analysis bas been determined depending upon the accuracy, convergence properties of the solution, and the computation time:The patch uses 3 EB mode, the slot uses 1PWS mode, and feeders use 5 PWS mode. Series-fed array antennas have been designed, built, and tested in a standing-wave configuration. Using the results of the full-wave analysis, the chebyshev array antennas consisting of 8 elements are designed and fabricated changing the amount excited to each array element by adjusting slot length and by the slot position relative to the feeder. Experiment results show that the series-fed array antenna designed by adjusting the slot position relative to the feeder is superior to that designed by slot length.

In this paper, at first, the characteristics of double mode SAW (DMS) resonator are analysed by applying the wave guide model and coupled mode theory to 1-port resonator. The DMS resonators (2-pole), which are arranged in a close, parallel configuration of two identical 1-port resonators on a single plate, and 4-pole DMS filters are designed and fabricated at the center frequency of 150.15 MHz with 3-dB bandwidth of 80 KHz. The empirical design characteristics are obtained from the comparison of experimental and theoretical values resulted from several fabrications, and the narrow bandpass filters are implemented on the basis of the above empirical results, which can be used to mobile communication systems. A ST-cut quartz substrate is selected for the stable temperature-frequence characteristics, and high resolution photolithography is applied to the fabrication of filter to get the fine electrode patterns.

An intrusion-sensitive capability of multimode graded-index (GRIN) optical fibers under bending has been investigated. In this system, the data light is transmitted in the fundamental mode while alarm monitor light is launched in a high-order mode at the same time. An attempted intrusion to drain data by bending the fiber results in greater attenuation of a monitor signal in higher order modes, thereby setting off an alarm at the receiver. Light propagation in a multimode graded-index fiber is also analyzed theoretically when the fundamental mode is selectively excited and the fiber is bent around a constant radius mandrel. The bending generates coupling between the various modes of the fiber. Power transitions of the fundamental mode by changing the bending radius were also analyzed numerically using program simulation. It is shown that Asawa-Taylor model[4] is valid up to 1cm of the radius of curvature of the fiber bend.

지지부에 비틀림 하중을 받는 Elstica는 비틀림 운동을 하며, 그 가진 주파수가 굽힘모드 근처일 때는 해당하는 굽힘 모드의 운동까지도 동시에 존재하게 된다. 이때 가진력의 크기가 작을때는 주기적인 운동이 된다. 가진력의 크기가 증가함에 따라 굽힘 운동은 굽힘 1차 모드와 연성된 유사주기운동이 발생하며, 이떤 범위 이상이 되면 굽힘 운동과 비틀림 운동이 결합된 진폭이 매우 크고 불규칙적인 비평면 운동(out of plane motion)이 발생하게 되며 이 때의 운동은 혼돈운동이다. Elastica가 굽힘 3차 고유진동수 근방의 주파수로 비틀림 하중을 받을 때의 정확한 이론적 해석을 위해서는 굽힘 3차모드 까지는 반영할 수 있는 식이 모델링 되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 이것은 복잡한 비평면운동을 할 때 굽힘 3차 모드까지 관찰된다는 사실에 근거한다.

This paper presents a sliding mode observer and Controller far the state estimation and the dynamic stabilization of the magnetic levitation systems. The proposed striding mode observer is constructed by means of Lyapunov stability theorem to decrease the observer error, and the sliding rode controller is designed by a linear combination of the equivalent and nonlinear control input for the estimated states. The feasibilities of the suggested design method are illustrated with the simulation results.
