In this paper, we design a slow-wave bandpass filter that uses a microstrip line periodically loaded with microstrip ing resonators for WLAN(5 GHz). Unlike conventional slow-wave filters, this filter is designed to produce a narrow passband at the fundamental mode of the resonators and provide lower insertion loss than that of parallel- or cross-coupled ring bandpass filters. A PBG(Photonic Band Gap) structure patterned in the ground plane is used to suppress the spurious transmission and extend out-of-band rejections Experimental result shows that the first spurious response in the stopband of the slow-wave bandpass filter can be rejected using a PBG structure.

In this paper, a 2 GHz tapered shape of multiport power divider/combiner modified from the model published by [10] and adopted PBG(Photonic Band Gap) structure is proposed. Parameters determining electrical property of the circuit structure have been analyzed by HFSS simulation. For input matching, balance of output signals and phase linearity at each output port, one circular hole has been etched out on the circuit surface. 1:2 and 1:3 power dividers/combiners designed by this study have been compared with the same circuits designed by the method of [10] in terms of S-parameters. As a result, it has been found that tile modified structure and PBG of power divider/combiner have improved return loss more than 20 dB and another 18 dB. respectively, at 2 GHz.

In this paper, a cylindrical photonic crystal waveguide with a low-index core is first proposed. The core can be filled with air, liquid, or arbitrary dielectric materials. Exact analyses for the electromagnetic field characteristics of guided modes, by using appropriate Bessel functions and applying the boundary conditions, are performed to find out the guiding characteristics of the proposed waveguide. For verification and usage in design and manufacturing process, the computer-calculation of the waveguide transmission characteristics is also performed by applying the rigorous full-vectorial finite difference method. Providing variations of the effective area for the fundamental mode of the designed waveguide with different numbers of cladding layers, ranging from 2.6056 ㎛2 to 5.9673 ㎛2 over the operation wavelength, generally as the core refractive index n1 is higher, the mode area becomes smaller and the result leads to more optimistic effect for nonlinear device applications.

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10-channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40-channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C-band 40-channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40-channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.

A new approach for identification of a microwave frequency using an integrated optical waveguide chip, combined with a phase modulator (PM) and two microring resonators (MRRs), is proposed, theoretically deduced, and verified. By wavelength tuning to set the PM under the condition of a double side band (DSB), the measurement range can be started from the dc component, and the measurement range and response slope can be adjusted by designing the radius and transmission coefficient of the MRR. Simulations reveal that the amplitude comparison function (ACF) has a monotonic relationship from dc to 32.5 GHz, with a response slope of 5.15 dB under conditions of DSB modulation, when the radius values, transmission coefficients, and the loss factors are designed respectively as $R_1=400{\mu}m$, $R_2=600{\mu}m$, $t_1=t_2=0.63$, and ${\gamma}_1={\gamma}_2=0.66$. Theoretical calculations and simulation results both indicate that this new approach has the potential to be used for measuring microwave frequencies, with the advantages of compact structure and superior reconfigurability.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel DGS(Defected Ground Structure) resonator and has designed the band -pass filter using the proposed ${\subset}$ stub-I type DGS resonator. This structure has strong advantages that can vary the retune loss at the passband freely and also can easily tune the attenuation pole frequency at the stopband. The bandpass filter can be made more smaller than the existing filters and be used to find the various applications for eliminating the harmonics and spurious mode at IMT-2000 band.

최근 인터넷의 보급과 함께 고화질 및 양방향 TV, VOD 방송, 화상 전화 등의 멀티미디어 시대가 열리면서 초고속 통신 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 특히 화상이나 동영상 같은 대량의 정보가 졸은 품질 및 빠른 속도로 전달될 수 있는 통신 시스템의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 가장 효율적인 고속 전송 수단으로 광통신이 이용되고 있으며 그에 따른 광통신 능 수동 소자 개발에 관한 연구도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 광통신 소자 중 원하는 빛을 선택적으로 투과하고 반사할 수 있는 flat-band pass(FP) filter의 역할이 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IR 영역에서 투과성이 우수한 칼코게나이드 물질을 이용해 l 차원 광자결정구조의 FP-filter를 설계, 제작하고 그에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. 시료는 5N의 순도를 갖는 As, Se, Te 물질을 준비하고 $As_xSe_yTe_z$를 조성비에 맞추어서 석영관에 진공 봉입한 후 용융 혼합하여 $As_{33}Se_{67}$과 $As_{40}Se_{25}Te_{35}$ 조성의 두 가지 비정질 벌크를 제작하였다. 제작된 시료의 굴절률은 ellipsometer을 사용하여 측정하였고, 본 연구진이 자체 개발한 계산툴에 따라 다중층막 구조를 설계하였다. 열 증착법을 이용하여 설계된 구조에 맞게 기판에 올리는 방법으로 1차원 광자결정 구조의 다중층막 샘플을 제작하였고 UV-Vis-IR Spectroscopy를 사용하여 반사도와 투과도를 측정하였다. 광통신용 L/C 밴드 주파수 범위에서 투과성이 우수한 칼코게나이드 박막의 1차원 광자결정 구조는 FP-filter등의 소자로써 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Apertures and PBG(Photonic Band Gap) has been employed on the ground plane in the coupled line filter simultaneously. In order to observe the maximum bandwidth, we used the line gap 0.2mm which is can be made in our lab. Band-pass filter type is four-stage coupled strip line filter. Teflon has been used for the substrate ($\varepsilon$$\sub$r/=3.2). The center frequency and the bandwidth are 2.18GHz and 230MHz, respectively. The bandwidth is broaden from 230MHz to 310MHz (80Mhz, about 34.7%) by aperture effect and harmonic frequencies are suppressed to 20-30dB by PBG effect. So the harmonic frequencies have been suppressed by the PBG effect and the bandwidth are broaden by aperture effect.

A Ka-band microstrip array antenna for wide-range detection of moving targets is analyzed through a photonicassisted reactive-near-field characterization technique. The antenna array employs a 3-dB-tapered feed network to suppress the sidelobe level while retaining a wide azimuth beamwidth for a wide detection range. The relative nearelectric field patterns of the array and its 3-dB-tapered feed lines have been measured using an electro-optic fieldmapping technique for minimally invasive millimeter-wave sensing. A number of typical limitations on the technique, involving bandwidth, low signal-modulation depth, and high laser-induced noise in high-frequency applications, have been overcome by suppressing the carrier portion of the optical interrogation beam.

In this paper, We designed the millimeter wave power amplifier employing PBG. The amplifier has the bandwidth from 24.6 GHz to 24.75 GHz. For improvement of the Linearity and the PAE of the amplifier, PBG was designed to suppress the 2nd harmonic of the Amplifer. The Proposed PBG have smaller area and better rejection characteristic than conventional PBG structure. The fabricated PBG shows 35 dB or more of rejection characteristic at the 2nd harmonic band of the amplifier. The amplifier has balanced structure having lange coupler which means better input$.$output return loss and higher output power.
