A nonuniform stub-loaded and coupling-free broadband phaser is proposed as an alternative to conventional coupled-line sections based phasers for enhanced design flexibility, reduced complexity and lower cost in Radio Analog Signal Processing (R-ASP) systems. Nonuniform open- and short-terminated stub-loaded sections are employed to achieve specified highly flexible group delays with flat transmission magnitude responses. The phaser does not require multilayer or wire-bonding technologies since it consists of coupling-free transmission lines. The principle and synthesis procedure of the phaser are presented and two design examples with diverse specifications are presented with theory and full-wave simulation results. The phaser can be realized using microstrip technology and integrate with different lumped components and planar structures.

The paper presents a fast and effective method of modeling a nonuniform and dispersive interconnect by means of S-parameters. The paper presents an approach based on the method of successive approximations, but taking into account the dependence on the frequency of line parameters. The concept is to use a rational approximation of the per-unit-length parameter of the line calculated for each frequency. An example of the Bessel dispersive transmission line has been considered.

In this paper, a crosstalk reduction technique is proposed which utilizes nonuniform transmission lines. We investigate the effect of the nonuniform transmission line on the crosstalk reduction by simulation. We also present a comparison between coupled lines with uniform and nonuniform structures. Results show that using nonuniform guard line reduces crosstalk by more than 10db.

In China, Microwave Technology is a specialised basic course for the undergraduate student whose major is electronics and information engineering. At Beihang University (BUAA) it is arranged in the first semester of the junior year (i.e. the third of a four-year course) and mainly includes transmission line theory, the theory of waveguides, microstrip transmission lines, the analysis of microwave networks and microwave passive components. In this paper, a problem-based introduction to microwave technology is presented, with the aim of increasing the students' interest and motivation to study this course. A pyramidal course structure for electrical engineering undergraduates in BUAA is then proposed, and the course orientation and outline of the Microwave Technology course incorporated within it. Questionnaire-based surveys demonstrate the positive effect of the course.

This paper presents two approaches where the single-core cable line and an additional conductor laid in parallel can be reduced to a simple equivalent pi-circuit containing an active element beside the usual passive impedances. The parameters of the equivalent circuit are calculated using a numerical approach where the distributedparameter line was discretized and an analytical approach is based on the wave propagation theory. A series of tests has been performed to determine error levels in both cases showing that they are less than 1%. With numerical examples, we show that the cable equivalent circuit offers a simple way to calculate voltages in complex grounding systems. The results are in good agreement with the previously published calculated and/or measured values. Both approaches offer the possibility of calculating voltage and current distribution along the cable line which gives insight into the significance of each cable component in the complex grounding system.

This paper proposes novel waveguide topologies for obtaining filter responses with arbitrary placed transmission zeros (TZs). These new structures have a good electrical behavior and allow fast simulation using EM techniques. Several topologies and their corresponding electrical models will be presented, together with amenable synthesis and design procedures. The simplicity of the layout raises these kind of filters as good candidates for useful applications requiring advanced filter characteristics.

A novel multiplexer design technique which makes use of distributed models is proposed. For the first time, distributed models of dual mode filters are applied to the design of manifold multiplexers, with a large number of both contiguous or non-contiguous channels. After a brief review of the last advances in multiplexer design, the whole design process is described over a non-contiguous channel example. Finally, a contiguous channel case is presented.

A Meshless Time Domain Method is proposed to solve the telegrapher's equation for the Nonuniform Transmission Line. The approach is based on a combination of the Point Interpolation Method PIM and the Leapfrog algorithm. The accuracy of the proposed method is confronted with both the conventional FDTD and a wavelet expansion method. The strong stability of the computing scheme is set in evidence from the computational results for a linear tapered planar line.

This paper is dedicated to a direct synthesis of the wideband non-uniform transmission line matching circuits. A comparison of solutions, obtained using an analytical approach versus a numerical optimization method is presented. Practical conditions in microwave design, such as technological constraints and smoothness of the characteristic impedance function are considered. A new method for smoothing, based on constraint handling was implemented. Also sensitivity of the input reflection coefficient characteristic impedance is investigated.

A mathematical expression of the output voltage from a nonuniform line was deduced by investigating the transient response of a cascaded multiple-section line to an input voltage of half-sine shape that is close to the wave shape of the pulse voltage for Z-pinch. The correctness of the mathematical expression was verified by comparing the result from the mathematical expression with that from circuit simulation using PSpice code. Based on this mathematical expression, a code was wrote using MATLAB to calculate the output voltage from a nonuniform line. To make our code friendly to users, a graphical user interface was designed using MATLAB.
