OXADM is a recently invented optical networks device with an asymmetrical architecture. Designed with a purpose to combine the operational concepts of Optical Cross Connect (OXC) and Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (OADM), OXADM is potentially useful in increasing the efficiency and flexibility of optical networks particularly of the metropolitan ring and mesh configurations. Thus, OXADM is particularly use for networks which require topology migration from ring to mesh, or vice versa [4]. The main function of OXADM is to reconfigure the optical channel path while implementing add/drop function simultaneously. The 4-channel OXADM design is expected to have a maximum operational loss of 6 dB for each channel [5]. With the accumulation function, OXADM is also able to provide survivability through restoration against failures by means of linear, multiplex and ring protection to both configurations that are integrated in single optical architecture. Output power degradation during ring activation is expected to be at 2 dB with respect to normal operating condition. The test was carried out at 2.5 Gbps with BER of 1times10-10 for linear protection, while BER of 1times10-19 (to west) and BER of 1times10-13 (to east) were used for ring protection.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125427232","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}

A pair of PCML structure with centre resonator, without ground plane aperture at PCML structure and capacitive open-ended stub at the centre resonator, is proposed. The proposed design is further optimized by adjusting the length and width of the centre resonator. Three broadband bandpass filters with PCML structure of various couplings have been designed.

By using Taylor series expansion, this paper shows that second-order nonlinearity of the MOSFET will cause a shift in the DC biasing of an AI-based oscillator, depending on oscillation amplitude. The DC bias shift results in a change of the transistor transconductance and parasitic components from their original value, which will affect the oscillator resonance frequency. This explains why a small-signal S-parameter simulation is not sufficient to accurately predict the oscillation frequency and tuning range of AI-based oscillators, even at moderate oscillation amplitudes.","PeriodicalId":356424,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132850768","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}
