A mirror-in-slab waveguide is fabricated on a slab waveguide by using the refractive-index contrast between two materials, with the reflection performance depending on the slab waveguide's design. In this research, a slab waveguide design consisting of silicon (Si) as the core and SiO2 as the substrate was designed and developed to determine the coupling, waveguide, and mirror losses. Based on experimental results, coupling loss is dominant and is affected by the design of the slab waveguide. Furthermore, the mirror loss is affected by the design of the mirror, such as the curvature radius and the size of the mirror. TE and TM polarizations of light are used in the measurements. The experimental results show that mirror losses due to reflection by mirrors are 0.011 dB/mirror and 0.007 dB/mirror for TE and TM polarizations respectively. A simulation was performed to confirm whether the size of mirror is sufficient to reflect the input light, and to check the quality of the surfaces of fabricated mirrors.

The use of a glass-plate probe of rectangular shape is proposed for the measurement of transmission loss in optical waveguides. The light-collecting window is of a thin, rectangular shape and is perpendicular to the light streak, while the conventional fiberglass probe has a small circular face. This transversely elongated form results in a grate improvement of mechanical tolerance for the probe movement in the vortical as well as in the transverse direction. A theoretical investigation also presents a reasonable agreement with the experiments.

In this paper, a high gain waveguide array antenna combining horn antenna on slot radiator was designed. And the fabricated antenna showed enough gain, improved efficiency and broadband characteristics for receiving satellite signals, compare to conventional microstrip antenna which has dielectric loss and radiation loss on transmission line. For easy fabrication, the waveguide structure was composed by 3-stages of radiator, signal coupler and transmission line. By experiment, the array waveguide antenna of 4 by 16 showed 28.3[dBi] gain and 2:1 of VSWR. And by combining horn antenna structure, the gain was increased 1[dB]. The received signal from Koreasat 6 by measurement showed 16[dBc] of C/N on BS(Broadcasting Satellite)-band and 14[dBc] of C/N on CS(Communication Satellite)-band.

This study proposes a novel optical sensor structure based on a refractometer combining a bend waveguide with an air trench. The optical sensor is a $1{\times}2$ splitter structure with a reference channel and a sensing channel. The reference channel has a straight waveguide. The sensing channel consists of a U-bend waveguide connecting four C-bends, and a trench structure to partially expose the core layer. The U-bend waveguide consists of one C-bend with the maximum optical loss and three C-bends with minimum losses. A trench provides a quantitative measurement environment and is aligned with the sidewall of the C-bend having the maximum loss. The intensity of the output power depends on the change in the refractive index of the measured material. The insertion loss of the proposed optical sensor changes from 3.7 dB to 59.1 dB when the refractive index changes from 1.3852 to 1.4452.

We report some methods for measuring a LiNbO$_3$ optical phase modulator bandwidth. Since Mach-Zehnder waveguide type, one of methods for modulation bandwidth measurement, is comparatively simple and useful, it was adapted in this work. In order to confirm this method, the waveguide of single and Mach-Zehnder type were fabricated on the same wafer. The Mach-Zehnder interferometric waveguide and the single channel waveguide were used for the measurement of the phase modulator's driving voltage and bandwidth for device fabrications, respectively. Ti-860$\AA$ in-diffusion was achieved in a wet-bubbling oxygen environment at 105$0^{\circ}C$/8hours. LINbO$_3$ internal chips were pigtailed to PMF(polarization maintaining fiber)/SMF(single mode fiber) using an epoxy curing technique. Examined were optical properties such as an insertion loss, propagation loss and mode size, and the loss mechanism of optical coupling between an optical fiber and a waveguide was considered.

논문은 밀리미터파 통신 및 레이더 응용을 위한 저손실 광대역 도파관 변환기를 제안한다. 기존 E-plane 프로브 변환기는 밀리미터파 대역에서 도파관 크기를 고려하여 매우 얇고 유연한 기판을 사용한다. 하지만, 이러한 기판은 휘어지기 쉬우며 이는 성능을 크게 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 변환기 프로브가 도파관 벽면 틈에 삽입되어 고정되는 연장된 E-plane 프로브 구조를 제안하고, 두께가 $127{\mu}m$이고 유전율 2.2인 기판을 사용하여 제작하였다. W-대역 (75-110 GHz)에서 측정된 백투백(back-to-back) 변환기의 삽입 손실은 3cm 길이 도파관을 포함하여 1.35 dB (${\pm}0.35dB$)이며, 반사 손실은 13.8 dB 이상으로 아주 우수한 특성을 보였다. 따라서, 제안된 변환기는 밀리미터파 초고속 흉신 또는 고감도 레이다에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.

A filtering power divider based on air-filled substrate-integrated waveguide (AFSIW) technology is proposed in this study. The AFSIW structure is used in the proposed filtering power divider for substantially reducing the transmission losses. This structure occupies a large area because of the use of air as a dielectric instead of typical dielectric materials. A filtering power divider provides power division and frequency selectivity simultaneously in a single device. The proposed filtering power divider comprises three AFSIW cavities. The filtering function is achieved using symmetrical inductive posts. The input and output ports of the proposed circuit are realized by directly connecting coaxial lines to the AFSIW cavities. This transition from the coaxial line to the AFSIW cavity eliminates the additional transitions, such as AFSIW-SIW and SIW-conductor-backed coplanar waveguide, applied in existing AFSIW circuits. The proposed power divider with a second-order bandpass filtering response is fabricated and measured at 5.5 GHz. The measurement results show that this circuit has a minimum insertion loss of 1 dB, 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 11.2%, and return loss exceeding 11 dB.

본 논문에서는 half-height W/C(Waveguide)를 이용하여 Ka-band 대역의 위성통신용 전력합성기를 설계하였다. 낮은 삽입 손실과 포트간 아이솔레션 특성이 좋은 방향성 겨랗ㅂ기를 위성 통신용 전력합성기로서 채택하였다. half-height W/C를 이용하여 설계된 전력합성기는 full-height W/G를 사용하여 설계된 전력삽성기에 비하여 작은 부피와 무게를 가지기 때문에 크기와 무게면에서 많은 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain)를 이용하여 half-height W/G 전력 합성기를 분석하고 설계 하였으며 full-height W/G로 구성된 전력 증폭기와 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 최적의 차수로 설계된 half-height 전력합성기를 제작하여 측정하였다. 설계된 half-height 전력합성기는 Ka-band 위성 통신용 대역(20.255~21.255 GHz)에서 삽입손실 0.3dB 이하, 반사손실 20 dB 이상, 포트간 분리도 20 dB 이상, 출력 포트간 위상차가 5$^{\circ}$ 이내의 특성을 만족하도록 설계되었다.

A spurious suppressed bandpass filter is proposed and discussed using the stepped impedance resonator(SIR) on a substrate-integrated waveguide(SIW) structure with a double-layer substrate. The second resonance of the fundamental $TE_{10}$ mode can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length and impedance ratio of each SIR. The spurious suppressed SIW bandpass filter shows the measurement results of the insertion loss of 3.98 dB and return loss of less than 11.58 dB at the center frequency of 12 GHz. Also, the second spurious frequency is improved to about $1.5f_0$ compared with $1.33f_0$.
