In this paper, simulations of S-parameter and characteristic impedance for the probe pin are performed and its high-frequency performance is analyzed. The probe pins are arranged with one signal pin in the center and four ground pins on the top, bottom, left and right sides. The insertion loss and return loss of the probe pin are calculated while increasing the separation between the probe pins to 0.35 mm, 0.40 mm, and 0.50 mm, respectively. It is confirmed that the probe pin has different features of the insertion loss due to its periodic resonance phenomenon. Effect of the characteristic impedance on pitch and assignment of the probe pin is also analyzed. It is verified that there are a number of ground pins whose characteristic impedance is close to 50 Ω.

This paper is to investigate the influence of the endface quality on the loss characteristics of a plastic optical fiber(POF) connector and the stability of new designed sleeve for in-car network service. Using the parameters of the surface roughness and applied load, insertion loss of connector is measured. Endface condition for optimizing the connection is presented by the surface roughness satisfying loss criteria and the stress for minimizing the loss, $R_{rms}=8nm$ and 19 MPa, respectively. By vibration test and dynamic loss measurement, we show the stability of the new designed sleeve.

In this paper, two types of BPF(Band Pass Filter) which are hair-pin and interdigital have been designed for millimeter-wave application using two types of material which are LCP(Liquid Crystal Polymer) and PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) and also, their performances such as bandwidth, insertion loss, and in-band flatness are compared. The proposed BPF are designed as third-order filters, and their pass band is from 26.5 GHz to 27.3 GHz. Interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate has most wide -3 dB S21 bandwidth of 7.8 GHz and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate has most narrow -3 dB S21 bandwidth among the proposed four BPF. For in-band insertion loss, hair-pin BPF using PTFE substrate achieves low insertion loss better than -0.667 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits relatively high insertion loss among the proposed four BPF better than -0.937 dB. However, the maximum difference in insertion loss performance among the proposed four BPF is 0.27 dB, which is too small to negligible. For in-band flatness, interdigital BPF using PTFE substrate shows greatest performance of 0.017 dB, and hair-pin BPF using LCP substrate exhibits the lowest performance of 0.07 dB. There are tiny difference in in-band flatness performance of 0.053 dB. As a results, it is considered that the BPF using LCP substrate can derive the performances similar to that of the BPF using PTFE substrate in Millimeter-wave band.

This paper proposes a novel BPF structure with less insertion loss and small size instead of the existing coupled line BPF for the output of the tripler using APDP (Anti-Parallel Diode Pair). This proposed BPF consists of the interdigital capacitor and spiral open stub. The proposed BPF has the insertion loss of less than 0.7dB within the band $(16.41{\sim}19.23GHz)$. The conversion loss of the tripler is about $16.6{\sim}18.5dB$ $(flatness<{\pm}1dB)$ at $5.72{\sim}6.28GHz$ of fundamental frequency. Its fundamental frequency and the fifth harmonic suppression characteristic at 6GHz are -32.16dBc and -44.6dBc, respectively And its phase noise attenuation characteristic is about 9.5dB at 100kHz.

This paper deals with an efficient optimization design method of a compact ultra wideband (UWB) filter which can improve the characteristics of the filter. The Evolution Strategy (ES) algorithm is adopted for the optimization and modified to suppress the ripple by inserting an additional step to the ES scheme. The algorithm has the ability to control the ripple of an insertion loss in a passband as a modified approach. During the modified ES, a structure of initial shape is changed a lot, while includes the stepped impedance (SI) and the composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). And an optimized filter satisfies the UWB specifications on the stopband and passband with an acceptable insertion loss. The filter achieves a much developed shape, the size of $15{\times}14mm$, the 3dB bandwidth from 2.7 to 10.8GHz, the flat insertion-loss less than 1dB, the wide stopband with 12~20GHz, and an acceptable return loss.

Insertion loss of partially Inclined noise harrier Is studied by using multiple diffraction theory. The diffractions occurred at the top as well as partially folded point are included based on Kouyoumjian and Pathak's method (Procd. IEEE, Vol. 62, 1974). Scaled-down model of noise barrier is studied in anechoic rooom. It is shown that the theoretical results generally represents the average values of experimental results, while there are many oscillations in experimental results.

This paper is to investigate the influence of the endface quality on the loss characteristics of a plastic optical fiber connector for in-car network service. Using the parameters of the surface roughness and applied load, insertion loss of connector is measured. Due to scattering and change of refractive index, an optimal condition for low-loss coupling exists. We present the optimal condition as surface roughness $R_{rms}$ = 8 nm and contact load up to 50 N.

Variable optical attenuators (VOA) made of low-loss fluorinated polymers are demonstrated which shows a low operating power less than 30 mW due to the superior thermo-optic effect of polymer material and a low insertion loss less than 1.0 dB by incorporating highly fluorinated polymers to reduce the absorption loss at 1550 nm. An attenuator-integrated low-crosstalk polymeric digital optical switch (DOS) is also demonstrated. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated attenuator, the device length is reduced to 1 cm so as to provide low insertion loss of 0.8 and 1.1 dB for 1300 and 1550 nm, respectively. The attenuator radiates remained optical signal on the switch-off branch in order to decrease the switching crosstalk to be less than -70 dB with an applied electrical power of 200 mW.

Lateral p-i-n photodiodes have been fabricated, electrically tested, and incorporated into microwave control circuits such as an optically excited microwave atttenuator and reflection type phase shifter. Circuit design procedures for the loaded-line phase shifter with the optically controlled p-i-n photodiode are presented. The equal loss loading mode presented for the first time for the phase shifter circuits with lossy load allows an equal insertion loss of the phase shifter in both of its phase states. It is found that the insertion loss of the equal loss loading mode phase shifter constructed with the fabricated p-i-n photodiode load are about 3dB for 11.25$^{\circ}$ bit and 1dB for 5.625$^{\circ}$ bit for the frequency range of 2GHz to 11GHz.

This paper introduces the design and implementation of a Ku-band 5-bit monolithic phase shifter with a ceramic package. The 5-bit phase shifter MMIC was designed and fabricated by using GaAs MESFET switches. The packaged phase shifter demonstrates a phase error less than 11.3 $^{\circ}$ RMS and an insertion loss variation less than 1.0㏈ RMS for 13∼15㎓. For all 32 states, an insertion loss is measured to be 12.2${\pm}$2.2㏈, an input return loss more than 5.0㏈, and an output return loss more than 6.2㏈ from 13㎓ to 15㎓. The chip size of the 5-bit phase shifter MMIC is 2.35${\times}$1.65mm$\^$2/ including digital control circuits. The size of the ceramic packaged phase shifter is 7.2${\times}$6.2mm$\^$2/.
