This paper presents an adaptive line coupler to match input impedance of the Power line Communication(PLC) modem between access impedance of the power line. This line coupler provides maximum signal power transmiting capability, high reliability. The structure of this coupler is simple and designed to make a easy and low cost. The proposed line coupler is suitable for Amplitude Shift Keying(ASK) or Phase Shift Keying(PSK) modem. To figure out our models, the analysis of the transmitting features of power line channel is performed in the time domain at the carrier frequency. As a result of this study, we present the values of capacitors in the capacitor bank and adaptive line coupler circuit.

This test data informs to compare components from different manufactured coupler type. On the point of reliability, less than 1x8 output branching number, fuse type coupler was more stable than PLC type coupler. But more than 1x8 output branching number, PLC type coupler was more stable. This test data showed critical branching point, on the point of reliability.

In this paper, a new type microstrip directional coupler has been designed and a 3dB coupler has been fabricated and measured. The measured and analysed results are agree well each other except difference of 1 dB insertion loss. There are two eigenmodes, e.g. even and odd mode in coupled microstrip lines. By using the difference between these two eigenmodes phase constants, the directional coupler can be designed by adjusting coupling length, which has a desired coupler has a disdvantage that its coupling length is longer than conventional oe, but it may be used as a useful coupler in millimeter wave range. And it has the merit of less discontinuity effects, becuase it is simpler than the other couplers in structure.

In this paper, properties of directional coupler with high directivity was investigated. The directional couler is used to check and verify the power, frequency, and antenna reflection of signal at transmission station for mobile communications. To get the high directivity in the directional coupler, directional coupler was simulated and fabricated. we obtained the directional coupler having more than 31dB directivity.

As structures are getting super-rise and large-sized, introducing the construction methods such as prefabrication of bar-meshes and complex method are being actively discussed to pursue the high quality of reinforced concrete, the simplification of field works, and the reduction of duration, as well as the study on how to connect reinforcing rods, which occurs while applying the same methods, is in progress Also, the pressure welded joint is a kind of method that heats the ends of reinforced bars locally and joint them, and after the pressure welding, the vulnerable part in the reinforced bar occur. Thus, in the construction field, the throughout quality control is necessary because of the delayed duration and the lowered construct ability. In this study, of the traditional lap splice method and the mechanical splice one, the screw coupler, we tried to look into through experiments the prefabrication method of bar-meshes, a typical joint method usually used for the joint parts for PSC structures applying the reinforced bar with its big diameter, and a newly-developed up-set coupler method. And we also examined the characteristic of tensile.

As buildings become taller, the strength of structural materials must increase and the amount of rebar reinforcement also increases while the application of an appropriate rebar splice method in the construction process become one of the essential factors. In this research, the current status of quality check for rebar coupler is identified by an expert questionnaire and an appropriate quality check method is proposed through a quality test on specimens similar to actual on-site construction. In the test results, it was revealed that, among the quality check methods for rebar coupler joints, the coupler tightening method and face to face degree of between upper and lower rebar did not affect the strength the specimen. Therefore, it is considered to be an appropriate way to check the coupler quality check to check whether the threads are completely assembled during on-site construction through manufacture the number of threads of rebar and coupler with a margin beyond the calculated thread number.

This paper presents various methods for implementing 3-dB coupler using a broadside slot coupled lines and analyze its characteristics. The ideal coupler of the tandem structure is analyzed on the premise that both the reflection coefficient and the isolation coefficient of the first and second coupler connections are zero. However, since the reflection and isolation coefficients of most couplers are not zero, the S-parameter cascade calculation method was used to check how to the characteristics of the coupler change due to this. In order to confirm that these characteristics appear, a 3-dB coupler was fabricated with one stage and two and three stages of a tandem structure using a broadside slot coupled lines at a center frequency of 2 GHz, and it was confirm that the characteristics of tandem coupler change due to the non-zero reflection coefficient and isolation coefficient of the connection part of the coupler.

The existing contactless inductive coupler has many problems because of its large volume and high level of exciting current, so a new contactless inductive coupler is being required under the circumstances and the load requirement. For a contactless inductive coupler in the manufacturing equipment of semiconductor, the coupler's efficiency is low because of its small magnetic inductance and large leakage inductance. Moreover, the high frequency switching to increase energy density per unit volume increases the iron loss and the eddy current loss, so it must be considered deeply when selecting core materials. Therefore, this paper presents core materials and shape to improve the performance of the contactless inductive coupler according to the coil positions.

In this paper, the six-port phase correlator using $90^{\circ}$ hybrid branch-line coupler and three-arm branch $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler were designed. The performances for two six-port phase correlators were analyzed by using ADS2003A tool. Three-arm six-port phase collerator provides more wide dynamic frequency range than that of six-port using the conventional hybrid coupler in range of circa five times. Six-port phase correlators were fabricated to evaluate the performance of two six-port phase correlators. The measured performances for two six-port phase correlators show the good accordance with the simulation data.

The polarization characteristics of ultracompact polarization-insensitive directional coupler (PIDC) based on double sandwiched rib-type waveguide are explored in detail by using longitudinal modal transmission-line theory (L-MTLT). To obtain the polarization-insensitive condition of ultracompact directional coupler, the coupling length and coupling efficiency as functions of the refractive index and thickness of sandwiched rib-type waveguide are analyzed for quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. The numerical results show that the ultracompact polarization-insensitive coupler with hundreds of micrometer scales is realized by properly choosing structural and material parameters of double sandwiched layers. Furthermore, the influence of fundamental mode profile, which is distributed in lateral waveguide of coupler, on the coupler performance has been investigated.
