We demonstrate two types of light field displays based on waveguide grating coupler arrays: a line beam type and a point source type. Ultra violet imprinting of an array of diffractive nanograting cells on the top surface of a 50-㎛-thin slab waveguide can deliver a line beam or a point beam to a multidirectional light field out of the waveguide slab. By controlling the grating vectors of the nanograting cells, the waveguide modes are externally coupled to specific viewing angles to create a multidirectional light field display. Nanograting cells with periods of 300 nm-518 nm and slanted angles of -8.5°~+8.5° are fabricated by two-beam interference lithography on a 40 mm × 40 mm slab waveguide for seven different viewpoints. It is expected that it will be possible to realize a very thin and flexible panel that shows multidirectional light field images through the waveguide-type diffraction display.

The high performance 94 GHz MMIC(Monolithic Micro-wave Integrated Circuit) single balanced mixer was designed and fabricated, using MHEMT structure based diodes and a CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) tandem coupler. A novel single-balanced structure of diode mixer is proposed in this work, where a 3-dB tandem coupler with two section of parallel-coupled line. Implemented air-bridge crossover structures achieve wide frequency operation and the fabricated mixer exhibits excellent LO-RF isolation, larger than 30 dB, in the 5 GHz bandwidth of 91-96 GHz. A good conversion loss of 7.4 dB is measured at 94 GHz. The proposed MHEMT-based diode mixer shows superior LO-RF isolation and conversion loss to those of the W-band mixers reported to date.

A new analysis method was proposed, where the even . odd-mode theory for a symmetrical coupled-line directional coupler was applied to a transformer-type directional coupler. In addition, the tap-offs were analyzed by the proposed theory, which are widely used in CATV (Cable Television), DBS (Direct Broad- casting Satellite), CS (Communication Satellite) systems. By comparing the calculation results to the measured ones using the even . odd-mode reflection coefficients only, the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed. Then, the tap-off has been broadened from 5 MHz over 4,000 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

A new analysis method of Tap-011 for CATV and DBS systems was proposed and investigated by using 4-port and 3-port equivalent circuits. As an analysis method the even odd-mode theory for a symmetrical coupled-line directional coupler was introduced, and then it was applied to transformer type directional coupler. By comparing the results of simulation and measurement, the validity of the proposed analysis method was confirmed. Furthermore, the Tap-off has been broadened from 5 MHz to 2.500 MHz by adopting the proposed theory.

In this paper, single, two, and three-section microstrip directional couplers are implemented for realizing the high directivity characteristics. The achievement of the high directivity with microstrip configuration is carried out by the distributed capacitor to decrease the even and odd mode phase difference. Capacitive compensation is performed by gap coupling of open stub formed in sub-coupled line. Therefore, insertion loss and power handling capability are not affected by the gap coupling. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate and incorporate another microwave device due to the planner microstrip. We designed and fabricated single, two, and three-section directional coupler with 20 ㏈ coupling. In spite of microstrip structure, the capacitive compensation structure shows 30 ㏈, 27 ㏈, and 25 ㏈ of directivity in single, two, and three-section directional couplers, respectively.

WDM(Wavelength division multiplexing) light wave communication system requires MUX/DeMUX and optical filter OADM can be used to extract and add the specific wavelength channel from the transmission line. In this paper, we propose the OADM based on MZI and cascade FBG. It is able to minimize system and reduce sidelobe. So, we have considered MZI structure and 3dB coupler. Using the coupled mode theory. We also analyze out characteristics of OADM and experiment. From results obtained by experiment and computer. Simulation, the proposed OADM with cascade FBG works well. we hope that the obtained result in this paper con be used as the data to design the OADM with cascade FBG.

In this paper, in order to obtain a large differential phase shift with a little change in applied voltage, a ferroelectric reflective load circuit has been designed on top of barium strontium titanate $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ [BST] thin film. The design of the ferroelectric reflection-type phase shifter is based on a reflection theory of terminating circuit, which has a reflection-type analogue phase shifter with two ports terminated in symmetric phase-controllable reflective networks. To achieve large amounts of phase shift in low bias-voltage range, the effects of change of capacitance and transmission line connected with two coupled ports of a 3-dB $90^{\circ}$ branch-line hybrid coupler have been investigated. A large phase shift with a small capacitance change in the parallel terminating circuit has been demonstrated in the paper.

A K-band low-power miniaturized planar-type hyperthermia system was developed to replace massive and expensive equipment. The system consists of a VCO with a buffer amplifier, a high-power amplifier module, a 20-dB-coupled line coupler, a chip circulator and two power detectors for signal generation, amplification and power monitoring. All these components have been implemented in planar form on two module blocks. The total size of the hyperthermia system was less than $10\times6.5\times3\;cm^3$. In order to verify the system performance, ablations were carried out on nude mice xenografted with human breast cancer. Ablation results show performance comparable to the massive components-based system. This work shows the feasibility of a low-cost miniaturized hyperthermia system for practical clinical applications.

We proposed a new PCB-type 'common-mode current($I_c$) and differential-mode current($I_d$) detector' working for fast detection of $I_c$ and $I_d$ from the differential-mode signaling, with miniaturization effect and possibility of cheaper fabrication. In order to realize this device, we suggest a branch-line-coupler balun having a composite right- and left-handed(CRLH) one-layer microstrip phase-shifting line as compact as roughly ${\lambda}_g/14$. The presented balun obviously is different from the conventional bent-&-folded delay lines or slits on the ground for coupling the lines on the top and bottom dielectrics. As we connect the suggested balun output ports of the differential-mode signal lines via the through-port named U and coupled-port named L, $I_c$ and $I_d$ will appear at port ${\Delta}$ and port ${\Sigma}$ of the present device, in order. The validity of the design scheme is verified by the circuit-and numerical electromagnetic analyses, and the dispersion curve proving the metamaterial characteristics of the geometry. Besides, the examples of the $I_c$ and $I_d$ indicator are observed as the even and odd modes in differential-mode signal feeding. Also, the proposed device is shown to be very compact, compared with the conventional structure.
