We present a novel method for simple and efficient analysis of the rectangular MQW waveguide. Preferentially two-dimensional structure is transformed into one-dimensional structure by using the effective index method. Then, the characteristic matrix of the resultant planar MQW waveguide is analyzed by scanning angle method. The effective index, modal intensity, and optical confinement factor of rectangular MQW waveguide can be effectively obtained by this method. Our simulation results show excellent agreement with the accurate solutions based on the finite element method. We also introduce the approximation methods for the analysis of rectangular MQW waveguide and investigate their validity. By using perturbation approach, modal power loss of guided wave in rectangular MQW waveguide is newly investigated and compared with the conventional method using the approximation of planar MQW waveguide.

Using a mode-matching technique, a waveguide structure with multiple stubs which is utilized as the component of various communication systems has frequency filtering characteristics. We define a proper fitness function to automatically design the pass and stop bands of a waveguide structure with multiple stubs for frequency filtering and the genetic algorithm can be implemented with the fitness function proposed in this paper. The frequency filtering characteristics are numerically computed and parametric sweeps are also performed.

The multiple-ridged circular waveguides is analyzed using Fourier series and the mode matching technique. The enforcement of the boundary conditions yields the simultaneous equations for the field coefficient inside the waveguides. The simultaneous equations are solved to represent a dispersion relation in an analytic series form. The numerical computation is performed to illustrate the behavior of the cutoff wavenumbers in terms of number, length and angle of ridges. The presented series solution is exact and rapidly-convergent so that it is efficient for numerical computation. A simple dispersion relation based on the dominant mode analysis is obtained and is shown to be very accurate for most practical applications.

In this paper, a design method of broadband horn antenna having 3:1 bandwidth and multiple polarization characteristics is proposed. The feeding section of the antenna adopts quadruple-ridged waveguide type for broadband and multiple polarization characteristics of the antenna. By inserting a shorting bar in the cavity structure with a semi-sphere type back short, the return loss at the feeding section was minimized. A corrugated dielectric lens is designed for phase compensation and lens-surface matching at the antenna aperture, which improves the antenna beam pattern. The validity of the design method is verified by indicating the measured data of the antenna.

With optimal inductors shunted at the ends of the waveguide of RF exciting laser, the voltage variation can be reduced dramatically. If multiple inductores are shunted at the appropriate positions, almost the perfect RF uniformity is possible. All the optimum inductances are derived from the unique method of transmission line theory, which illustrates visually the whole variation of standing wave pattern along the hollow waveguide.

In this paper, higher order coupler using small size waveguide which applicable for mobile Ku-band multimode monopulse satellite tracking antenna system, has been designed, implemented and tested. Proposed higher order mode coupler adopts a coaxial structure for low profile characteristic considering installation property to mobile satellite terminal system. In addition, by using proposed coupler, extracted tracking error signal pattern has measured and confirmed that required tracking accuracy is satisfied in desired frequency band. In the future, proposed coupler could utilize for multimode monopulse satellite tracking system for high tracking accuracy.

In this paper, a slotted waveguide feeder for the electric field uniformity in multi-mode cavity is designed and fabricated. In case of the conventional feeder, a mode stirrer or a turntable is used for improving electric field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity. The proposed feeder has four slots, which have uniform radiation characteristic, on broad wall and shorted terminations at both ends. The electric field uniformity is simulated by CST's MWS(Microwave Studio) for the conventional and proposed feeders, respectively. The fabricated feeder shows the return loss of less than -20 dB at 2.45 GHz. To verify the validity of our proposal, the temperature distribution of the water samples in the multi- mode cavity is observed after a few minutes' heating. The proposed feeder is confirmed to have much better field uniformity in the multi-mode cavity than the conventional feeder.

The FE-BI (finite element- boundary integral) method is used for the characterization of an arbitrary-shaped multiaperture-coupled directional coupler between two retangular waveguides crossing with an arbitrary angle. The method is shown to be much more effective than the ordinary FEM for the structures under consideration. the computation time is compared with that of the ordinary FEM. The results of other papers for Moreno coupler are compared with the theoretical prediction and a good agreement is obtained.

Non-uniform optical taper waveguides have been widely used as devices for high-efficiency mode coupling, as they are integrated with single-mode optical fibers or photonic crystal waveguides. In this paper, we present a new platform for chemical sensing and bio-sensing using optical taper waveguides with these characteristics. The principle of operation is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multi-mode interference coupler (MMIC). First, the curvature characteristics of taper sections of DC and MMIC is explained, and the design specifications of optimized taper waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the change in refractive index of sensing analyte is numerically analyzed. Numerical results show that as the length of couplers increases, the effective index per change in refractive index unit (RIU) of analyte increases, and that sensitivity can be tuned using taper DC and MMIC design techniques.

The stable fueling and water supply should be prerequisites to guarantee the operational sustainment of military command post. Meanwhile, in terms of the operational sustainment, it is verified that the current wave-guided below cutoff (WBC) system cannot satisfy the requirement of control associated with water supply and fueling within the command post. In this study, as the dielectric substance can block electromagnetic pulse (EMP), it was tried to identify the shielding effectiveness of the multi WBCs filled with water and diesel for attenuating the EMP effect using experiment based on the MIL STD 188-125-1. According to the experimental results, used water in the experiment show the shielding effectiveness from around 640 MHz frequency because of minerals contained in the water. Furthermore, it was noted that EMP attenuating strength of the WBC filled with diesel was enlarged from around 1,680 MHz frequency. Resultingly, it could be concluded that it is enough to supply stable water and diesel through the multi WBC to block EMP within the military command post for guaranteeing the military operations sustainment.
