In this paper, we present the analysis method for a rectangular waveguide with horizontal conducting post using mode matching method and generalized scattering method. Scattering characteristics of a rectangular waveguide with the horizontal conducting post according to radius and height of the post are simulated by the proposed method. The simulated results by proposed method show good agreement with the measured results and the HFSS's results. Proposed method are easily applied to the design of a waveguide component with horizontal conducting posts.

Based on characteristics of resonator in BPF, a resonant characteristic is obtained by using variation of characteristic impedance in rectangular waveguide. And we have designed and made a novel waveguide BPF with this phenomenon. This filter can be made with arbitrary lengths of rectangular waveguide resonators.

Four types of three-waveguide optical switches are analyzed by measns of the coupled mode theory. Assuming that three proximate waveguides of an optical switch are identical and equally spaced, we examine the switching behavior for both cases where an incident beam is launched into 1) the outer waveguide, 2) the center waveguide. For each beam-launching case, switching voltage is applied so that three waveguides refractive indices be detuned 1) symmetric, 2) anti-symmetric. It is concluded that only three types of optical switches out of four an perform the switching operation. We derive the switching conditions for ach of three possible types and draw the corresponding switching diagrams.

Waveguide bandpass filters using E-plane or H-plane discontinuities have been used in many satellite communication systems. Since the transmitter and receiver of such systems tend to be getting smaller, components such as bandpass filters must also be reduced in size. In this paper, in order to reduce the waveguide, itself, of which bandpass filters consist, double plane step waveguide discontinuities are considered. They are analyzed using the mode matching method and the genralized scattering parameter of the cascaded structure is calculated. The characteristics of the bandpass filter which is designed using the reduced size waveguide is optimized by OSA90$^{TM}$. The bandpass filter has a good characteristics and smaller size than those made of the E-plane or H-plane step discontinuities.s.

Periodically slotted dielectricalloy filled parallel-plate waveguide as a leaky wave antenna is designed and fabricated at the center frequency of 10.0GHz. The antenna was fed by use of a hog-horn structure. The hog-horn and the two side walls and the lower plate of parallel-plate waveguide were fabricated form duralumin. The upper plate of parallel-plate waveguide with 48 periodic slots was made of copper plate of 1mm thickness. The dielectric material inside the parallel-plate waveguide was chosen to be paraffin. The experimental radiation pattern for the fbricated antenna was compared with the theoretical results for the finite periodic structure.

In this paper, a R-band hybrid amplifier with the coplanar waveguide(CPW) and the photonic bandgap(PBG) structure is designed and fabricated. The PBG and the CPW techniques are simultaneously employed in amplifier to improve the power added efficiency(PAE) and the IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) in R-band. In this paper, the PBG structures are optimized to obtain matching network. The output impedance of amplifier and the input impedance of PBG are matched to minimize the return loss. The PAE and the IMD were improved 15% and 4.5dB compared with the conventional amplifier, respectively.

We propose a novel design concept to improve extinction ratio by minimizing $Cv_e-Cv_o$ . Improvements of loss and fabrication error limit are also obtained by this hybrid design of the lateral shift and curved waveguide to control transfer coefficients, $Cv_e and Cv_o$ . The concept of lateral shift merges two transfer coefficients, and additional curved waveguide controls mode profile asymmetrically to help this minimizing effect of $Cv_e-Cv_o$ with no serious decrease in transfer efficiency. For a given InP based waveguide structure, the mode propagation analysis with an effective index approximation provided a calculational improvement of extinction ratio to -39 dB and fabrication error limit to $57.19\mu\textrm{m}$, with a structure design of $300\mu\textrm{m}$ waveguide curvature and $0.1\mu\textrm{m}$lateral shift. shift.

In this paper, a technique is presented f3r the design of a structurally simple narrow-band orthomode transducer (OMT) operating at 12/14 GHz frequency bands. The proposed OMT has such a structure that a horizontally polarized wave incident on the circular waveguide of the common port is directed to the rectangular waveguide of the straight port, while the vertically polarized wave is directed to the rectangular waveguide of the side port. Firstly methods are developed f3r designing individual parts of the OMT based on the waveguide theory and the theory of impedance matching. Secondly based on developed methods the whole OMT structure is designed using a commercial electromagnetic field analysis software. The validity of the proposed design technique is confirmed by fabricating and testing the designed OMT.

In this paper, the design method of a waveguide broad-wall longitudinal slot array monopulse antenna of X-type monopulse axes is presented, and the method is verified through manufacture and measurement. In the antenna design of this paper, the antenna size is small and the monopulse axes are X-type. Thus, the common continuous aperture distribution fuction is not suitable and the power balance among antenna quadrants should be considered. Also, since the waveguide height is reduced into 0.1 wavelength, the modelling of the slot characteristics is not simple. Thus, in this paper, the aperture distribution is optimized by using random number, and the balance among the quadrants is achieved by applying the quadrant weighting factor during the aperture optimization process. Also, the moment method procedure is accelerated by applying the interpolation technique to some part of the moment matrix, and the moment method procedure is added to the array synthesis program as a subroutine so that the slot characteristics can be calculated directly when it is required. Based on this method, a antenna of 28dBi is designed and manufactured. It is found that the antenna characteristics is similar to design data.

In this paper, we present the numerical analysis method for analyzing scattering characteristics of a rectangular waveguide with the conducting half cylinder using the mode matching method and compute scattering characteristics of a waveguide according to the rotation and changing radius of the half cylinder. Also, in conjunction with the generalized scattering method, the proposed method can be easily applied to a rectangular waveguide with cascade structure of conducting half cylinders. From the simulated result of a two pole filter, resonance frequency could be controlled by the rotation of half cylinders. The simulated result shows good agreement with the HFSS's result. The proposed structure and analysis method are easily applied to the design of waveguide components with conducting half cylinders.
