Inhomogeneous nature of microstrip circuits generate even and odd modes of wave propagation having different phase velocities, which in turn leads to the degradation in directivity. This paper presents the design and development of a compact, wideband, low insertion loss 20 dB microstrip coupler on FR4 substrate having better than 25 dB directivity at L band. Idea is based on the fact that the wiggly or slotty structure raises the odd mode inductance more strongly than that of the even mode due to the different field distributions between both modes and equalizes the even and odd mode characteristic impedances. Reactive loading based slow wave structure is used to further miniaturize the circuit. Directivity of better than 28 dB, maximum insertion loss of 0.4 dB, coupling flatness of ± .25 dB and 25 % reduction in size w.r.t. conventional parallel coupled line coupler were observed in the fabricated circuit over the band of 1250±500 MHz.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127392561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation study of the antenna is carried out using Ansoft's HFSS software. Parametric study of the antenna has been carried out by varying the Teflon and probe heights. The simulated and measured bandwidths of the proposed antenna are 1.11 GHz and 1.69 GHz respectively whereas corresponding values of average gain are 6.39 dB and 6.43 dB.

In the analysis, the depletion region is discretized into equal energy segments to take into account the discontinuous nature of impact ionization in the multiplication layer due to dead-space effect, and carrier diffusion from undepleted regions is considered to study the effect of low bias on the frequency response. Carrier distribution within the structure is obtained by numerical solution of coupled equations and recurrence relations. The computed results are used to investigate the effect of Ge-composition (y) on the bandwidth of a Si1-yGey APD having thin multiplication layer. Results show that at high gain region, for a fixed applied bias, frequency response decreases with the increase in Ge-content. It is also seen that at moderate gain region, if the bandwidth is RC dominated then the bandwidth decreases with increase in Ge-content.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130601938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main optical sources are LED and LASER. A semiconductor laser typically has spectral width about 20 to 100 times less compared to LED. The laser was the first device capable of amplifying light waves themselves. The emitted laser light is a spatially coherent, narrow low-divergence beam. There are lasers that emit a broad spectrum of light or emit different wavelengths of light simultaneously. Thus improving the efficiency of lasers is of great importance through the entire optoelectronics field, as laser based communication can support much higher data rates. In this work Quantum-Well LASER model based on the standard rate equations is being developed for analyzing and improving the efficiency using the MATLAB Simulink platform. The presented model can be incorporated for the simulation of the optimized optical system for future need of high data rate.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"2017 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131682974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that transition energy increases with increase of thickness but decreases with increasing radius. The external field alters the potential energy profile of the structure and thus controls the intersubband oscillator strength inside the disk. The oscillator strength between the two lowest subbands decreases with electric field, and increases with thickness of the disk. Results are computed considering first-order band nonparabolicity, and compared with parabolic overestimation. Change in oscillator strength indicates the possibility of wavelength tuning by electric field.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125548628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emissions from different target materials were observed to be spectral selective with specific dependence on laser and antenna polarization. From the laser produced plasma (LPP) of atmospheric air, the RF output was found to be increasing with the input laser energy up to certain value, beyond which almost no emission was observed over the frequency range used in this study. This effect is attributed to the modification in the net induced dipole moment due to the multiple plasma sources in the LPP at higher input laser energies. Between the metals studied, RF emissions from copper were relatively higher than that of aluminum because of the better plasma conductivity of copper. Further studies may lead to an efficient technique for standoff material identification from the RF signature peaks.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"60 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126089763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
