To transmit, receive, and/or process data the basic building blocks are capacitors, inductors, resistors, and transistors. Loop currents and node voltages are enough to analyse the circuits. To analyse the circuits no propagation effects have to be considered: the delay in the propagation of signals at different points in the circuit is negligible compared with the period of the applied signal. Lumped circuit models are valid. • At microwave frequencies is compared with the circuit dimensions and: . Propagation effects can not be ignored: there is a delay in the propagation of signals among different points in a circuit. There are distributed capacitances and inductances in the circuit. There is an increase in the impedance of terminals and connectors. Unshielded circuits with dimensions compared with become effective radiators. Distributed circuit models are used.

  • Chapter 6 Two-Port Network Model
    Chapter 6 Two-Port Network Model 6.1 Introduction In this chapter a two-port network model of an actuator will be briefly described. In Chapter 5, it was shown that an automated test setup using an active system can re- create various load impedances over a limited range of frequencies. This test set-up can therefore be used to automatically reproduce any load impedance condition (related to a possible application) and apply it to a test or sample actuator. It is then possible to collect characteristic data from the test actuator such as force, velocity, current and voltage. Those characteristics can then be used to help to determine whether the tested actuator is appropriate or not for the case simulated. However versatile and easy to use this test set-up may be, because of its limitations, there is some characteristic data it will not be able to provide. For this reason and the fact that it can save a lot of measurements, having a good linear actuator model can be of great use. Developed for transduction theory [29], the linear model presented in this chapter is 77 called a Two-Port Network model. The automated test set-up remains an essential complement for this model, as it will allow the development and verification of accuracy. This chapter will focus on the two-port network model of the 1_3 tube array actuator provided by MSI (Cf: Figure 5.5). 6.2 Theory of the Two–Port Network Model As a transducer converts energy from electrical to mechanical forms, and vice- versa, it can be modelled as a Two-Port Network that relates the electrical properties at one port to the mechanical properties at the other port.

INTRODUCTION A two-port network (a kind of four-terminal network or quadripole) is an electrical network (circuit) or device with two pairs of terminals to connect to external circuits. Two For the general case of an N-port network, terminals constitute a port if the currents applied to them satisfy the essential requirement known as the port condition: the electric current entering one terminal must equal the current emerging from the The input impedance of a two-port network is given other terminal on the same port. The ports constitute by: interfaces where the network connects to other networks, the points where signals are applied or outputs are taken. In a two-port network, often port 1 where ZL is the impedance of the load connected to is considered the input port and port 2 is considered port two.

  • Lowpass Lumped-Element Coplanar Waveguide-To- Coplanar Stripline Transitions
    LOWPASS LUMPED-ELEMENT COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE-TO- COPLANAR STRIPLINE TRANSITIONS Yo-Shen Lin1 and Chun Hsiung Chen2 1Department of Electrical Engineering, National Central University, Chungli 320, Taiwan, R.O.C. (email: [email protected]) 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan, R.O.C. (email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The lowpass coplanar waveguide-to-coplanar stripline transitions are proposed, using planar lumped-elements to realize the filter prototypes in the transition structures. The proposed transitions are very compact and can provide the combined functions of transition and filter. Simple equivalent-circuit models based on closed-form expressions are also established, from which the characteristics of various lowpass lumped-element transitions are investigated. INTRODUCTION Coplanar waveguide (CPW) and coplanar stripline (CPS) are widely used as building blocks in the design of uniplanar MMIC's [1]. To fully utilize the exclusive features of CPW and CPS, an effective interconnection between them is of crucial importance. This may allow the choice of different uniplanar line-based circuit elements in different parts of a system such that maximum circuit integration and optimal system performance may be accomplished. Various CPW-to-CPS transitions have been developed [2]-[7]. Most of these conventional transitions have bandpass behaviors [2]-[4]. The broadband transition [5] utilizing a slotline open structure has a lowpass frequency response but its insertion loss increases only gradually as the operating frequency increases. The ideally all-pass double-Y junction balun [2], in practice, also features a gradually increasing insertion loss with frequency.

Resistive films (dielectric glass slab coated with aquadag) are used in the design of both fixed and variable attenuators. A co-axial fixed attenuator uses the dielectric lossy material inside the centre conductor of the co-axial line to absorb some of the centre conductor microwave power propagating through it dielectric rod decides the amount of attenuation introduced. The microwave power absorbed by the lossy material is dissipated as heat. 1 In waveguides, the dielectric slab coated with aquadag is placed at the centre of the waveguide parallel to the maximum E-field for dominant TEIO mode. Induced current on the lossy material due to incoming microwave signal, results in power dissipation, leading to attenuation of the signal. The dielectric slab is tapered at both ends upto a length of more than half wavelength to reduce reflections as shown in figure 5.7. The dielectric slab may be made movable along the breadth of the waveguide by supporting it with two dielectric rods separated by an odd multiple of quarter guide wavelength and perpendicular to electric field.
