In this paper, we introduce a coupling, which is achieved through the aperture instead of the conventional edge coupling, so that the bandpass filter is reduced less than half in size compared to conventional planar type. The resulting filter configuration has a near two-fold symmetry, where the aperture coupling is used in the middle of the coupling stages. We designed a bandpass filter using two tapped hairpin resonators, of which the order becomes four. The designed bandpass filter has the size of $8.9{\times}18.3\;mm$. It has the return loss better than 17dB and the insertion loss of less than 5 dB in overall passband. The measured results show good agreements with simulated ones.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터파 대역에서 저손실 특성이 우수한 전송선로인 non-radiative dielectric (NRD) guide와 microstrip의 transition에 관해 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 이용된 transition은 aperture coupling을 이용한 것으로 NRD와 microstrip 사이의 aperture를 통하여 magnetic field가 coupling되는 원리이다. Aperture의 구조를 각각 rectangular와 ridge 형태로 설계하였다. 비교를 위해서 설계된 microstrip to microstrip transition의 경우 aperture의 구조를 ridge 형태로 했을 때 rectangular 일 때 보다 삽입손실 특성이 개선되었고 더 넓은 bandwidth를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다 NRD to microstrip transition의 경우는 bandwidth 면에서 ridge 구조와 rectangular 구조 모두 비슷한 특성을 보였다.

Two types of radiative coupling in the 2-dimensional aperture to scatterer coupling problems are described with an emphasis on the main difference between the two types. In particular, detailed comparison is made from the viewpoint of the Quality factor between two types.

This article describes an observation that the aperture coupling mechanisms in the aperture coupled microstrip antenna can be divided into two categories, cavity and parasitic types, depending on the separation between the microstrip patch and the ground plane. The similar phenomenon was observed in the relatively simple gap coupled microstrip antenna. The specific characteristics between two coupling mechanisms is discussed.

In this paper, a multi-layer dual-band bandpass filter using aperture-coupling is proposed. Two coupling paths are formed with the two apertures which exist between two dual-mode resonators. The coupling coefficients can be adjusted without changing the shape of resonators. The bandwidth of the second passband can be adjusted without affecting the bandwidth of the first passband using the size of an aperture between stubs of the dual-mode resonator. The aperture coupling mechanism is theoretically analysed. The dual-mode bandpass filter for the 2.4 GHz WLAN, 3.5 GHz WiMax was designed and fabricated. The fabricated filter shows centered 2.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz with 9 % and 8 % of the bandwidth.

The problems of electromagnetic coupling and radiation in an aperture-coupled microstrip antenna structure are discussed while focusing on the difference between two representative field configuration: parasitic-type and cavity-type. Based on the discussion, a critical look is taken at the validity of a previous description of the coupling mechanism of m aperture-coupled microstrip antenna.

This paper presents hairpin-comb bandpass filter using ground aperture. Hairpin-comb resonator maintains the weak coupling though the space between two resonators is very small. This has the good merit that the entire filter size is small for narrowband bandpass filter. The coupling between two hairpin-comb resonators so very weak that can't be applicable to general microstrip. We compensate the coupling by using ground aperture. It makes the hairpin-comb filter possible that can be applicable to general microstrip. Also it has the good merit which adjusts the bandwidth by changing the size of aperture without changing the space. In this paper, we fabricate the bandpass filter, which has 1.78 GHz center frequency and 62 MHz (3.5%) fractional bandwidth.

Room acoustic properties of coupled rooms connected by an aperture has been analyzed using statistical acoustic model based on the diffused sound field assumption, which has limitation in dealing with the parameters such an room geometries and non uniform absorptivity of the boundary surfaces. In order to overcome these difficulties the acoustic diffusion model has been introduced, by which distribution of the acoustic energy density can be analyzed for various shapes and wall absorptivity. In this study acoustic properties of coupled rooms connected by an aperture(e.g. door) is analyzed using acoustic diffusion equation, which is solved numerically. The mean energy densities of two rooms obtained by the diffusion model are compared with those from the statistical model. The results show good agreement for various coupling aperture sizes and absorption coefficients. For a limiting case when the partition wall is substituted by an aperture and the two rooms eventually forms a single room, results of coupled room analysis using diffusion model show good agreement with those of a single room.

Aperture has been employed on the ground plane in the Hairpin resonator. Aperture made by etching the part of the ground effected coupling coefficient and then quality factor of Hairpin resonator has been increased. When the hair pin oscillator using aperture has been compared with the conventional hair pin oscillator using microstrip, it has been improved the phase noise about 19dBc ＠100KHz. Oscillation frequency of the hair pin oscillator using aperture has been 5.83GHz band and output power is -4.33dBm.

In this paper, theoretical channels model of Synthetic Aperture Radiometer is presented. Based on this model, how amplitude imbalance, phase imbalance and mutual coupling between the different channels effect brightness temperature image retrieving is analyzed. The computer simulation results are also presented to find out the cause of the along-track streaks usually appeared in the retrieved brightness temperature image. In addition, a new system calibration approach is introduced to solve this problem.
