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.

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}
