I G il www.bl.uk PAGE NUMBERS ARE CUT OFF IN THE ORIGINAL ( i) ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with developing synthesis and design procedures for microwave filt e r s and m ultiplexers. The core of this thesis presents the following topics. 1) New classes of lumped lowpass prototype filters satisfying generalized Chebyshev characteristics have been investigated. Exact synthesis procedures are given using a relatively new technique termed the alternating pole synthesis technique to solve the accuracy problem. The properties of these filt e r s and th e ir practical advantages have been discussed. Tables of element values for commonly used specifications are included. 2) A new design procedure has been developed for bandpass channel multiplexers connected at a common junction. This procedure is for multiplexers having any number o f Chebyshev channel f ilt e r s , with arb itrary degrees, bandwidths and inter-channel spacings. The procedure has been modified to allow the design of multi-octave bandwidth combline channel f i l t e r multiplexers. I t is shown that this procedure gives very good results for a wide variety of sp ecification s, as demonstrated by the computer analysis of several multiplexers examples and by the experimental resul t s . 3) A compact exact synthesis method is presented for a lumped bandpass prototype filte r up to degree 30 and satisfies a generalized Chebyshev response. This prototype has been particularly utilized in designing microwave broadband combline f ilt e r s . 4) Different forms of realization have been discussed and used in design and construction of different devices. This includes a new technique to realize TEM networks in coaxial structure form having equal diameter coupled circ u la r cylin d rical rods between p arallel ground planes. Other forms of realization have been discussed ranging from equal diameter posts, direct coupled cavity waveguide filters to microwave integrated circuits using suspended substrate stripline structure. The experimental results are also given. In addition, the fundamentals of lumped c irc u its and distributed circuits have been briefly reviewed. The approximation problem was also discussed.

    Compact UWB Slotted Monopole Antenna with Diplexer for Simultaneous Microwave Energy Harvesting and Data Communication Applications

    Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 109, 169–186, 2021 Compact UWB Slotted Monopole Antenna with Diplexer for Simultaneous Microwave Energy Harvesting and Data Communication Applications Geriki Polaiah*, Krishnamoorthy Kandasamy, and Muralidhar Kulkarni Abstract—This paper proposes a new integration of compact ultra-wideband (UWB) slotted monopole antenna with a diplexer and rectifier for simultaneous energy harvesting and data communication applications. The antenna is composed of four symmetrical circularly slotted patches, a feed line, and a ground plane. A slotline open loop resonator based diplexer is implemented to separate the required signal from the antenna without extra matching circuit. A microwave rectifier based on the voltage doubler topology is designed for RF energy harvesting. The prototypes of the proposed antenna, diplexer, and rectifier are fabricated, measured, and compared with the simulation results. The measurement results show that the fractional impedance bandwidth of proposed UWB antenna reaches 149.7% (2.1 GHz–14.6 GHz); the diplexer minimum insertion losses (|S21|, |S31|) are 1.37 dB and 1.42 dB at passband frequencies; the output isolation (|S23|) is better than 30 dB from 1 GHz to 5 GHz; and the peak RF-DC conversion efficiency of the rectifier is 32.8% at an input power of −5dBm. The overall performance of the antenna with a diplexer and rectifier is also studied, and it is found that the proposed new configuration is suitable for simultaneous microwave energy harvesting and data communication applications. 1. INTRODUCTION Simultaneous wireless power transmission and communication is a promising technology that is intended to transmit power in free-space without wires and also provides data communication.

Yeo Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering University of East London London, UK [email protected] Abstract—A microwave diplexer achieved by coupling a dual- and dual-band filter (DBF) design [7], engineers can achieve band bandpass filter onto two single-bands (transmit, Tx and diplexers purely based on existing formulations rather than receive, Rx) bandpass filters is presented. This design eliminates developing complex optimisation algorithm to achieve the the need for employing external junctions in diplexer design, as same function. Also, since the resultant diplexer in this paper is opposed to the conventional design approach which requires formed by coupling a section of the BPF resonators, onto a th separate junctions for energy distribution. A 10-pole (10 order) section of the DBF resonators, a reduced sized diplexer is diplexer has been successfully designed, simulated, fabricated achieved. This is because the energy distributing resonators and measured. The diplexer is composed of 2 poles from the dual- (that is, the two DBF resonators), contribute one resonant pole band filter, 4 poles from the Tx bandpass filter, and the to the diplexer Tx channel and one resonant pole to the diplexer remaining 4 poles from the Rx bandpass filter. The design was implemented using asynchronously tuned microstrip square Rx channel. Therefore, the large size issue with the open-loop resonators.

    ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF MILLIMETRIC E-PLANE DIPLEXERS IN RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE -Antonio Morini, Tullio Rozzi Dipartimento di Elettronica e Automatica, Universitk di Ancona ABSTRACI A novel E-plane diplexer is proposed and discussed. Its feature is the matching section of the three-port junction, obtained by means of an E-plane septum, realized on the same mask as the branching filters and placed in the cavity of an abrupt E- plane junction. The latter is designed-in such-a way that, when combine d with two,reasbnably 7good filters, separately designed and suitably positioned, the resulting diplexer gives good performances without further optimization. This design technique, based on the properties of the scattering parameters of a reciprocal lossless three-portjunction, is , as such, of general validity and easily extended to other structures. INTRQD_UCTION The more expensive part of an E-plane circuit in rectangular waveguide for millimetric application is its housing. In fact, its fabrication requires high precision milling machines and it is difficult to: reduce tolerances below 10 t for each half housing. Therefore, it becomes important to simplify as much as possible the housing geometry, even increasing the complexity of the mask. For this reason, we study an E-plane diplexer based on an abrupt three-portjunction, in lieu of a tapered junction, Dittlof and Andt- (1-2), Vahldieck and Varailhon- de la Filolie(3), requiring more expensive mechanical construction. The junction is tuned by a single inductive post, built on the same mask as the E-plane filters and placed between the junction and the bifurcation, as shown in fig.1, Morini et al.

    Notes for course EE1.1 Circuit Analysis 2004-05 TOPIC 10 – 2-PORT CIRCUITS Objectives: . Introduction . Re-examination of 1-port sub-circuits . Admittance parameters for 2-port circuits . Gain and port impedance from 2-port admittance parameters . Impedance parameters for 2-port circuits . Hybrid parameters for 2-port circuits 1 INTRODUCTION Amplifier circuits are found in a large number of appliances, including radios, TV, video, audio, telephony (mobile and fixed), communications and instrumentation. The applications of amplifiers are practically unlimited. It is clear that an amplifier circuit has an input signal and an output signal. This configuration is represented by a device called a 2-port circuit, which has an input port for the input signal and an output port for the output signal. In this topic, we look at circuits from this point of view. To develop the idea of 2-port circuits, consider a general 1-port sub-circuit of the type we are very familiar with: The basic passive elements, resistor, inductor and capacitor, and the independent sources, are the simplest 1-port sub-circuits. A more general 1-port sub-circuit contains any number of interconnected resistors, capacitors, inductors, and sources and could have many nodes. Sometimes, perhaps when we have finished designing a circuit, we become less interested in the detail of the elements interconnected in the circuit and are happy to represent the 1-port circuit by how it behaves at its terminals. This is achieved by use of circuit analysis to determine the relationship between the voltage V1 across the terminals and the current I1 flowing through the terminals which leads to a Thevenin or Norton equivalent circuit, which can be used as a simpler replacement for the original complex circuit.
