In this paper, a synthesis technique for nonuniform filtering structures to be employed in active integrated antenna layouts is presented. The idea is to suppress the higher harmonic contribution due to the presence of nonlinear components through a nonuniform transmission line properly designed via Orlov's synthesis formula. The theory presented is applied here to synthesize an amplifier-based active antenna layout for wireless local area network (WLAN) purposes working at 2.4 GHz. The numerical results presented show the capabilities of the proposed approach.

The cylindrical TEM mode solution for electromagnetic coupling to an angled two-wire transmission line is corrected by imposing some physical constraints additionally. The validity of the correction process is assured by showing that the corrected solution approaches the numerical result for the equivalent model of cascaded piecewise uniform sections.

In the synthesis of the current source distribution function of an array antenna with the arbitrary radiation pattern, the Woodward-Lawson sampling method has been mainly used for the synthesis of an even function lobe pattern. In this paper, the method is extended to the synthesis of the odd function pattern and then the optimum synthesis method for the nonlinear source distribution function is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the design of nonuniform transmission lines with arbitrary reflection responses. The both dispersive impedance profiles of single and coupled nonuniform lines with arbitrary reflection responses are directly synthesized by the sampled values of a reflected spectral pattern which is optimally shaped by a perturbation of its complex null positions, hence removing the conventional step-by-step segmentation process and global optimization routines. The control problem in the case that all of port impedances are identical is also solved. The generality of the proposed method is verified by a filter design with the controlled arbitrary passband

A line profile synthesis method is presented that minimizes the nearest-neighbor crosstalk peak level for high-speed pulse transmission in multi-coupled microstrip signal buses. We adopted the optimization technique for the reflected wave control on bus lines resulting in increasing the average spacing between strip conductors, since in a parallel-conductor bus the crosstalk energy is concentrated at the nearest neighbors of the driven line. The generalized S-matrix technique is applied for the input and output waveform prediction, and crosstalk characteristics of various nonuniform lines synthesized for increasing the average spacing are analyzed by comparing each other. Simulation results demonstrate that the Chebyshev taper with dips is adequate to significantly minimize the crosstalk peak level under the satisfactory waveform integrity since the profile is oriented to evenly reflect significant pulse spectra within the frequency range of pulse.

Time domain closed-form analytical solutions to the coupled telegrapher's equations for the voltage and current on a lossless multiconductor transmission line are presented. The resulting expressions are obtained in the form of exact time domain propagators operating on the line voltage and current. Time domain numerical methods are developed and examples showing exceptionally accurate results are obtained for uniform and nonuniform; symmetric and asymmetric strip lines.

In the analysis of lightning surges, transmission towers are usually simulated by ATPDraw. The modeling of transmission towers is an essential part of the traveling wave analysis of lightning surges in transmission lines. The tower model is applied to the 154kV transmission tower of which surge performance characteristics are measured Tower surge response is computed using nonuniform, single-phase line models for both transmission tower and ground wire. The overvoltage will effect to the underground transmission line. The underground cable is combined by duct and trefoil type, and the each arrester is placed on the leading-in tube and outgoing tube. This paper analyzed the effect of lightning overvoltage on the underground cable system.

This paper describes a methodology for the three dimensional electric field calculation around parallel and orthogonal transmission lines. A nonuniform modeling method of finite line using linear line charges is proposed through the error analysis, Several examples of three dimensional electric field calculation are carried out by this method.

In this paper, a 2~16 GHz GaN wideband power amplifier MMIC s designed and fabricated using the nonuniform power amplifier design technique that utilizes drain shunt capacitors to simultaneously provide each transistor with the optimum load impedance and phase balance between input and output transmission lines. The power amplifier MMIC chip that is fabricated using the $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT foundry process of Win Semiconductors occupies an area of $3.9mm{\times}3.1mm$ and shows a linear gain of larger than 12 dB and an input return loss of greater than 10 dB. Under a continuous-wave mode, it has a saturated output power of 36.2~38.5 dBm and a power-added efficiency of about 8~16 % in 2 to 16 GHz.
