This paper presents the analysis of the mode characteristics of an annular ring microstrip patch antenna for circular polarization with attachment mode using method of moments in the spectral domain. For a probe excitation, the input impedance are obtained by using the single mode approximation for both the $TM_{11}$ and $TM_{12}$ modes and compared with those by Vector Hankel Transform. While the $TM_{11}$ mode has a high Q, it is a poor radiating mode; the $TM_{12}$ mode is more suitable for antenna applications. It is also shown that the bandwidth of the $TM_{12}$ mode is wider than that of the $TM_{11}$ mode in terms of axial ratio for circular polarizatio

We derive the Z-parameters for the two coupled antennas used for wireless power transfer under the assumption that the antennas are canonical minimum scattering antennas. Using the Z-parameter and the maximum power transfer efficiency formula, we determine the maximum power transfer efficiency of wireless power transfer systems. The results showed that the maximum power transfer efficiency increases as the mode number or the radiation efficiency increases. To verify the theory, we fabricate and measure two different power transfer systems: one comprises two antennas generating $TM_{01}$ mode; the other comprises two antennas generating $TM_{02}$ mode. When the distance between the centers of the antennas was 30 cm, the maximum power transfer efficiency of the antennas generating the $TM_{02}$ mode increased by 62 % compared to that of the antennas generating the $TM_{01}$ mode.

The proposed direct $TM_{01}-TE_{11}$ mode converter is calculated and designed with an approximated method for non-linear function about an extended non-constant serpentine type of circular waveguide. Then, the designed mode converter is optimized by length of 200 mm and efficiency above 95% by FIM simulation and achieved short length and high efficiency of the antenna by results of fabricated and measured characteristics.

In this paper, using a folded parasitic patch, a hybrid metamaterial antenna having the enhanced bandwidth is presented. To obtain a broad bandwidth of the antenna, a zeroth-order resonance(ZOR) mode of a mushroom antenna and a $TM_{010}$ mode of a conventional patch antenna are combined. By employing an etched rectangular hole and a folded parasitic patch in the conventional patch antenna, a resonance frequency of the $TM_{010}$ mode can be down-shifted toward that of the ZOR mode without changing the size of the antenna. Therefore, the proposed antenna has broad bandwidth which ranges from the ZOR mode to the $TM_{010}$ mode. As a result, a fractional bandwidth of the proposed antenna is measured as 12 % and a radiation efficiency is above 75 % in whole band.

We calculate the facet reflectivity as a function of the waveguide width of buried channel waveguides using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the effective index method, the variational method and the modified variational method, respectively and discuss the results. As the waveguide width increases, the facet reflectivity of buried channel waveguides approaches to that of slab waveguides. As the waveguide width decreases, the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode decreases from that of slab waveguides, while that of quasi-TE mode increases from that of slab waveguides. The variation of the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode as a function of waveguide width is much larger than that of quasi-TM mode. When the aspect ratio is one, the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the variational method and the modified variational method is negligible, while the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the effective index method is large. In the case of quasi-TE mode, the facet reflectivity using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the modified variational method could be more accurate than that obtained by the effective method. In the case of quasi-TM mode, the facet reflectivities obtained by the various methods are almost the same.

A guided-wave TE to TM mode converter was demonstrated by using of the off-diagonal electrooptic coefficients in LiTaO$_{3}$. The input mode is coupled to the other orthogonal mode by the electrooptically induced off-diagonal polarizability. Compared with LiNbO$_{3}$, LiTaO$_{3}$ provides a smaller birefringence and thus a larger phase match period and larger optical bnadwidth. A novel electrode structure allowed a first-order Bragg-coupling phase matching. TE/TM mode conversion efficiency of 90% at 25 [V] was demonstrated with ${\lambda}$=0.63$\mu$m He-Ne laser.

A rigorous field analysis by the non-decaying mode and the contour graph method is presented for dielectric-rod loaded cylindrical cavity resonators. Resonant frequencies and the lowest order modes for this resonator are calculated. The mode charts are presented to design the resonators. TE mode(transverse electric or H mode, having no Ez), TM mode(transverse magnetic or I mode, having no ㎐) and HEM mode(hybrid electromagnetic mode, having non-zero Ez and ㎐) are analyzed in detail using non-decaying mode method. The mode charts are completed. The validity of the theory is confirmed by experiments. The results were on the whole satisfactory. Experimental measurements show excellent agrement with the numerical results. The average error of TE, TM, and HEM mode is about 0.20 %, 0.14 %, and 0.28 %, respectively.

In this paper, a $TM_{31}$ higher order mode half circular-ring microstrip antenna with monopole-like radiation characteristic for on-body communication is proposed. By using shorting vias, $TM_{31}$ resonance mode was excited, while achieving compact low-profile antenna with monopole-like radiation characteristics. To overcome the narrow bandwidth of a patch antenna, a C-shape half ring patch with shorting vias having $TM_{31}$ mode is closely located around a half circular patch. For size reduction, half mode is adopted. The proposed antenna has the overall dimensions of $0.25{\lambda}_0{\times}0.46{\lambda}_0{\times}0.025{\lambda}_0$ at the industrial, scientific, and medical(ISM) 2.45 GHz band(2.4~2.485 GHz) and the 10-dB return loss is 4.24 % ranging from 2.38 to 2.49 GHz. To verify body effect, two-thirds muscle equivalent semi solid phantom was fabricated and used to measure the antenna performance. A communication link is analysed to investigate the effect of human-body movements and antenna locations.

TM mode coupling coefficients for a generic five-layer DFB structure with trapezoidal and triangular gratings are calculated using the extended additional layer method. To determine the unperturbed field distributions of TM modes, a grating region is replaced by a new uniform layer whose inverse dielectric constant is the average value of the inverse dielectric constant of grating region in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Based on the self-consistent check, the validity of this method is established by comparing the results calculated by partitioning the grating region up to six uniform layers.
