Abstract— This paper presented the design of four-port network directional coupler at X-band frequency (8.2-12.4 GHz) by using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique. SIW appears few years back which provides an excellent platform in order to design millimeter-wave circuits such as filter, antenna, resonator, coupler and power divider. It offers great compensation for smaller size and c...

Linear and nonlinear directional couplers are currently used in fiber optics communications. They may also play a role in multiphoton approaches to quantum information processing if accurate control is obtained over the phases and polarizations of the signals at the output of the coupler. With this motivation, the constants of motion of the coupler equation are used to obtain an explicit analyt...

This paper represents design broadband impedance matching circuit for Coupler to improve power transfer efficiency in the broadband power line communication (BPLC) systems. The Butterworth gain function equalizer is used to design broadband matching circuit. A practical PLC Coupler impedance matching circuit is designed, and the characteristics for S11 and S21 of PLC Coupler are enhanced compar...

Planar directional coupler using Substrate Integrated Waveguide technology (SIW) is proposed in this paper. The SIW coupler with tapered microstrip-SIW transitions are integrated on the same substrate. Planar form makes this coupler structure easily integrable in microwave planar circuits. These proposed power dividers can be applied to the design of the beam-forming network for communication s...

The objective of this project was the development and performance optimisation of a coupling application. The coupler library is intended for interfacing massively-parallel algorithms for multi-physics simulations. The development of the coupler library adopted the same philosophy of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library: The coupler was engineered as a set of libraries that are accessibl...

For high-power operation of charged particle rf accelerators, the input coupler windows must withstand enormous stresses due to charging induced by the highenergy charged particle beam passing by and high rf power passing through. Since most couplers use a single coupling aperture, harmful asymmetrical rf kick on the beam at the coupler-cavity interface exists. If this problem is solved by dual...

We present the numerical procedures involved in the design of coupler cavities for accelerator sections for linear colliders. The MAFIA code is used to simulate an X-band accelerator section with a symmetrical double-input coupler at each end. The transmission properties of the structure are calculated in the time domain and the dimensions of the coupler cavities are .&usted until the power cou...

We experimentally demonstrate a terahertz-bandwidth photonic differentiator employing a silicon-on-insulator directional coupler. The integrated waveguide coupler with two identical paralleled strip waveguides achieves a first-order differentiator when full energy coupling is met from one waveguide to another. The integrated waveguide coupler can offer different operation bandwidths by changing...

This paper presents a proposal for a novel integrated tun-able coupler device called programmable coupler ladder, based on Titanium diffused lithium niobate waveguide and Y-junction reflector. Unlike the traditional serial to parallel converter, the coupler ladder sorts the output bits in the time axis using a built-in delay waveguide. With a proper control signal it can perform signal processi...

Recent experience with X-band accelerator structure development has shown the rf input coupler to be the region most prone to rf breakdown and degradation, effectively limiting the operating gradient. A major factor in this appears to be high magnetic fields at the sharp edges of the coupling irises. As a first response to this problem, couplers with rounded and thickened iris horns have been e...
