A dual-band tunable-slot-type ground radiation antenna is proposed. The feeding structure consists of a coplanar waveguide and a lumped capacitor to excite currents for first- and second-order resonant modes of the ground. The resonant frequencies of both bands are controlled using a series combination of a capacitor and an inductor. The proposed design may be an attractive choice for mobile devices owing to its compact geometry and tunable operating frequencies. The measurement and simulation results of the proposed antenna show good agreement, indicating good impedance matching and radiation performance.

In this paper, the directional coupler for Ku-band, which is designed is of the crossguide type with a coupling value of about 3-dB. The apertures chosen for this design are crosses. We used polynomial approximations of rounded end slot to obtain the electric and magnetic polarizability of crossed-slot and compared the results with Cohn's experimental results. The optimized dimensions and positions of the cross aperture are obtained by a trial-and-error reiteration of the program. This paper presents the measurement results for the designed coupler. The very flat coupling shows a total variation of only 29.80$\pm$0.04dB for the design frequency ranges of 12.25GHz-12.75GHz. The measured minimum directivity is 25dB. The aperture attenuation for the finite diaphragm thickness is about 2dB pr 0.5mm, which is in agreement with the theoretical value. The transmission loss and input return loss at center frequency are 0.0564dB and 48.16dB respectively. We obtained the measured minimum directivity of the coupler. Whose apertures are both circles is better than that containing holes in the performance of directivity.

In this paper, a performance analysis of waveguide broad-wall slot array antenna for millimeter-wave seeker in Ka-band was performed as using near-field measurement. The measurement of slot array antenna was conducted in both far-field and near-field. And the validation of near-field test in millimeter band was confirmed. It was confirmed that the beam pattern characteristics including beam width and side lobe level of the slot array antenna that performed the verification were the same. Differenced in the side lobe level of azimuth and elevation beam pattern were verified to be less than 1dB. Additionally, the new antenna aperture distribution was extracted as using back-projection method modifying the near-field data and then introduced the method conducting performance analysis of array antenna.

In this paper, a method of Radome design is considered. The shape is similar to tangent-ogive, and the antenna is a waveguide broad-wall slot array antenna. The characteristic of the Radome material is obtained by measuring test samples. By analyzing the transmission efficiency of the flat plate, Radome wall thickness is determined firstly. And then, the detailed characteristics of the Radome are analyzed by using GO-PO approximation technique. Several simple parameters of the designed Radome are tested and compared with the simulation results.

The design and analysis of a novel photonic crystal electro-optic modulator are presented in this paper. The device incorporates an electro-optic (EO) polymer slot waveguide into the center of a silicon photonic crystal waveguide. In this device, strong optical confinement in the EO polymer core and small group velocity from the photonic crystal structure provide a surprise enhancement of the EO effect.

A inclined slot-excited plasma source is newly designed and constructed for higher flux HNB(Hyperthermal Neutral Beam) generation. The present source is different from the vertical SLAN(SLot ANtenna) sources [1] in two aspects. One is that the slots are inclined, and the other is that the magnetic field is configured to a cusp type. These modifications are intended to make the source plasma operated in sub-milli-torr pressure regime and as thin as possible, both of which is to get higher HNB flux by decreasing the re-ionization rate of the reflected atoms from the neutralizer [2]. The plasma is generated in a quartz tube of internal diameter 170 mm enclosed in a aluminum application chamber of larger diameter 250 mm. The microwave power is fed to the plasma chamber by 8 inclined slots cut into the application chamber wall. The slots are coupled the chamber to a WR280 waveguide wound around it to form a ring resonator. In order to make two slots $\lambda_g/2$ apart in phase, the adjacent slots are rotated in opposite directions. The rotation angle of the slots are set to $60^{\circ}$ from the chamber axis. Between the quartz chamber and the aluminum cylindrical chamber 8 NdFeB magnets are equally spaced and fixed to form the cusp magnetic field confinement and ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) field. In this presentation, the magnetic and electromagnetic simulations, and the measured plasma parameters are given for both the inclined and the vertical slot-excited plasma sources. We also discuss how the sources can be tailored to suit better-performing HNB sources.

In this paper, the planar waveguide slotted array antenna is presented, which has the 3-layered structure of feeding networks for a high gain. Due to the ionosphere which generates 'Faraday rotation', the skew is happened between the signal radiated from an artificial satellite and the receiving antenna. This causes a polarization loss. In this paper, to remove this polarization loss, the dumbbell shaped linear polarizer using a single layer film is proposed. The gain of proposed antenna is 29.4dB.

Herein, we design a wideband $8{\times}8$ waveguide Butler matrix in order to use in a multi-port amplifiers(MPAs) at Ka-band. To achieve the broadband characteristic, we design a binomial 6-slot 3 dB directional coupler which is used to configure the $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix. The measured results of the fabricated $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix have low insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB, good return loss of over 26 dB and high isolation of over 35 dB within the design bandwidth of 3 GHz.

In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.

In this paper, we propose that three uniform coplanar waveguides(CPWs), such as a conventional, finite grounded(FG), and grounded(G) CPWs, can be coupled with a $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode dielectric resonator(DR) for a parallel resonant characteristic as a microstrip line coupled with the DR. Coupling characteristics have been investigated by placing the DR on a dielectric support above the CPWs and by moving the DR away from the center of a slot of the CPWs to the ground plane. FEM simulation(HFSS) results in terms of S-parameters agree well with measurement results. Finally, unloaded Q values of the DR coupled with the three uniform CPWs are compared with those of the DR coupled with a microstrip line. The comparison shows that the DR coupled with the three CPWs has higher unloaded Qs than that coupled with a microstrip line and that the GCPW case has the highest unloaded Qs.
