An inductive coupler, which feeds communication to the electric power transmission line, is required to establish Power Line Communication(PLC). The electro-magnetic property of magnetic core and design technology for coupler are very important to manufacture an inductive coupler for power transmission line. The magnetic core with superior electro-magnetic property was manufactured by using nanocrystalline alloy and an inductive coupler, which can operate at the maximum 2,000 A current, was designed and manufactured by establishment of current saturation, signal out winding, and electromagnetic simulation in this study. Communication speed of 14 Mbps in 600 meter communication distance of the real electric power transmission line was obtained by using the inductive coupler and application possibility of the inductive coupler for the electric power transmission line was certified.

Tensile strength (stress) of bar splice is important in the research of mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete structures-beam, column etc.- with bar splice. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the flexural behavior - deflection of beam specimens, strain of main bars - of reinforced concrete beam with Lock Joint Coupler. To make a comparative research, reinforced concrete beam specimens with normal deformed bar and lap splice are tested and analyzed. Test results, Comparing a deflection of three types flexural specimens, a flexural specimen with Lock Joint Coupler is 40% greater than the other flexural specimens. At the center of flexural specimen, the strain of main bar(D29) with lock joint coupler is 50% less, and vice versa, at the point of 14cm far from the center of flexural specimen, the strain of main bar(D29) with lock joint coupler is 9% larger than the strain of main bar(D29) which calculated using the classical flexure theory. A discords, between a deflection behavior of the flexural specimens and a strain of the main bar, are caused by the difference of strain between the lock joint coupler and main bar, near the lock joint coupler. So, additional research is need to verify as stated above discords.

본 논문에서는 Barrier coupler type UHF 센서의 현장적용 및 감도개선을 위해 외부잡음의 차폐방법과 광대역 안테나를 Barrier coupler type UHF센서에 적용시켜 센서의 성능을 개선시켰다. GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 신호를 검출하기 위하여 UHF대역(0.3${\sim}$3GHz)의 전자파 신호의 검출이 가능한 광대역 Rectangular 패치 안테나를 barrier coupler type UHF 센서에 적응 설계하였으며, Rectangular patch antenna를 배열(array) 했을 때의 특성들을 비교하였다. 이론 위해 상용화된 EM Simulator를 이용하여 센서의 방향성과 감도 특성을 검토하여 설계 및 제작하였다. 개발된 센서의 실제 특성을 분석하기 위해서 network analyzer로 센서의 특성을 분석하였고, 실규모의 GIS 챔버를 사용하여 다양한 결함에 대한 센서의 감도와 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 제작된 barrier coupler type UHF센서가 가스절연기기(GIS)의 부 부방전 신호를 검출할수 있음을 입증하였고, 광대역 외장형센서의 경우 patch antenna의 구조에 크게 상관하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 향후에는 GIS 내장형 센서와 비교 연구론 통해 barrier coupler type 센서의 성능을 개선하고자 한다.

In this paper, a 100~110 GHz LNA and A coupler using standard 65 n CMOS process is presented. The LNA consists of three common source FET stages. A few layout types are considered to get high gain characteristic of unit common source cell. Also, optimized performance to achieve low noise characteristic and enough gain. Coupler is composed of broadside coupler using multimetal in CMOS fabrication. In the coupler, the metal strip to meet density rule is used, and the coupler is designed with consideration of the metal strip to function properly. Gain of fabricated LNA is 5.64 dB at 100 GHz and 6.39 dB at 110 GHz. Bandwidth is over 10 % and noise figure is 11.66 dB at 100 GHz. Fabricated coupler has shown insertion loss of 2~3 dB at 100~110 GHz band. Magnitude mismatch of coupler is below 1 dB and phase mismatch of coupler is below $5^{\circ}$.

A broadband optical coupler with a broad bandwidth of 1000 nm based on a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is investigated. The PCF has 6 layers of air hole structures and a diameter of $130{\mu}m$. The PCF-based coupler is fabricated by using a fused biconical tapering method based on heating and elongation processes. Changing temperature and an elongation length can control the bandwidth and the bandedge wavelength of the PCF-based broadband coupler. The diameter of the fused region in the PCF-based coupler was measured to be $23{\mu}m$. The fabricated PCF-based coupler has a nearly-flat coupling ration of 3-dB in a broad bandwidth of 1000 nm, which is wider than that of the previously reported PCF-based coupler and that of the single-modefiber-based coupler. Since the resolution of optical coherence tomography system is proportional to the bandwidths of both an optical light sources and an interferometer, the fabricated PCF-based broadband optical coupler has a great potential for realization of a broadband interferogram.

We designed the $1.3/1.55\mum$ WDM directional coupler and its coupling length was calculated with the variation of the two waveguide's core separation and other variables by the Fourier transformed scalar wave equation. We deposited the PSG films for optical waveguide by low pressure chemical vapor deposition and fabricated the WDM coupler using the laser lithography and $CF_4/O_2$ reactive ion etching process. A V -groove which was made to support and fix the optical fiber is fabricated on Si substrate by chemical etching. The WDM coupler and the V-groove are connected using UV curing epoxy. We found that propagation mode of each port of WDM coupler is single mode and maximum extinction ratio between two out ports is 6 dB for $1.3.\mum$, and 12 dB for $1.55\mum$. /TEX>.

In this paper, we present a new analysis of monolithic laser-waveguide coupling structure employing the beam propagation method. Monolithic laser-waveguide coupler has both passive and active components It has too many parameters to consider for an analysis. So we present proper model of coupler by use of directional coupler. We employ the beam propagation method th analyze the proposed structure, we could employ the coupled mode theory but we thought in the case of this paper the beam propagation method is more appropriate than coupler mode theorybecause a number of variables which to consider is too many for the coupled mode theory. Also we use finite difference method to calcurate trial field which is a starting point of beam propagation analysis. Through this approach, we can consider more parameters. And we propose a new structure of monolothic laser-waveguide coupler which has taper structure between the distance in which coupling is taking place and passive waveguide. We can obtain 79% high coupling efficiency from our structure.

This paper presents the new power line coupler which is applicable to spread spectrum power line communications. The proposed coupler maintains the adequate value of a capacitor between the transmitter mode and the receiver mode using a switch. In the transmit mode, the relatively high value of the capacitor is chosen to minimize the attenuation of transmitted signals. In the receiver mode, the value of the capacitor is chosen to be small enough so that the coupler attenuates power line noises. This coupler reduced the magnitude distortion due to having a high Q value and the power consumption caused by the AC current flowing into the capacitor. The simulation and measurement results show the improved performance in the transmitter and receiver mode, respectively.
