In this paper, NRD guide band pass filter with newly designed inductive iris structure is proposed and analyzed with its test results. In case of common NRD guide filter with air gap coupled structure, it was not easy to fabricate and process or each NRD guide dielectric resonator blocks using PTFE. However, in this our research, each dielectric resonator fabricated in a single NRD guide is coupled with inductive iris located on metal plates. The structure is suitable for mass production of a precise and reliable millimeter-wave filter applications. As a result of measurements, designed NRD guide inductive iris filter has superior performance. The pass band is 38.66~39.06 MHz with 400 MHz bandwidth, insertion loss is about 1.4 dB and return loss is below -18 dB.

As the interest in the millimeter wave frequency (30 ~300 GHz) increases, Nonradiative Dielectric (NRD) guide is being more attractive due to its low loss characteristics. Most of millimeter wave components, which can be realized with waveguide, can also be realized with NRD guide since NRD guide has similar dispersion characteristics and field patterns to waveguide. Previously, Variational Method was applied to the gap discontinuity problem to design a gap-coupled NRD bandpass filter. In this paper, the design procedure was simplified by replacing the air gap region with an equivalent circuit model of an evanescent waveguide using the fact that the NRD guide has a similar structure with a dielectric-filled metal waveguide. Prior to applying this design method to the bandpass filter of millimeter wave frequency range, a bandpass filter of which center frequency is 10 GHz(3-Pole, 0.1 dB ripple, 2% fractional bandwidth) was designed and fabricated. The measured result agrees with one simulated with HFSS within an error range of a fabrication.

In this paper, we have designed the duplexer using non-radiative dielectric(NRD) guide in millimeter wave band. The designed duplexer is composed of two stepped-impedance filters and T-junction. Stepped-impedance filters we designed with an equivalent circuit model of evanescent waveguide and the T-junction is optimized to minimize return loss of -20 dB or more. The characteristics of duplexer show good agreements with the expected results.

In this paper, Ka-Band NRD guide band pass filter with newly designed inductive post structure is proposed and analyzed with its test results. Generally, millimeter-wave filters are very sensitive in their physical dimensions, hence, it is requires extreme precisions of several micron so as to get the designed performance. In case of common NRD Guide filter with air gap coupled structure, it is fabricated with dielectric blocks coupled via air gap. In these structures, however, it was not easy to fabricate and to process of each NRD guide dielectric resonator blocks using PTFE, so it was almost impossible to assemble with several microns in precision. In this our research, however, each dielectric resonators are coupled with a pair of inductive metal post, so all resonators are located in a single NRD Guide. The dielectric parts between two pairs of posts are operated as resonators of each stage, and the positions of the post decide the couplings between resonators. The structure we suggested is suitable fur mass production, because it is very simple and easy to process. As a result of measurements, designed NRD guide inductive post filter has a superior performance. The center frequency is 39.475 GHz with 350 MHz bandwidth, insertion loss is less than 1.8 dB, and the return loss is below than -18 dB.

광대역 초고속 통신의 필요성으로 밀리미터파 대역에서 사용 가능한 소자들에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. Nonradiative dielectric(NRD) 도파로는 밀리미터파 대역에서 마이크로스트립에 비하여 전파손실이 적고, 금속 도파관에 비하여 집적화에 유리한 장점을 가지고 있다. 이에 밀리미터파 대역의 각종 소자에 사용 가능한 NRD guide에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 NRD 도파로를 이용한 대역통과 여파기 및 duplexer의 설계 방법과 EM simulation을 이용한 보정 방법, 그리고 기본적인 형태로부터 응용된 여러가지 형태의 filter 및 duplexer의 특성을 보이고 비교하였다.

Allow me to introduce the development of an FM transmitter. The transmitter uses millmeter waves at the frequency of 60 GHz, and it can produce as much as 20 mW power with the band width of 1 GHz. The great feature of the FM transmitter is that it has been created by the special technique of utilizing the NRD (non radiative dielectric) waveguide. The advantage of adopting the NRD waveguide is that it can significantly reduce transmission loss. We can construct a small-size NRD guide transmitter in a simple way that has superb transmission performance. The NRD guide transmitter is very useful for CATV transmission or transmission over a wide range. In addition, the transmitter has almost the same band width as optical communication, and the data transmission speed of the transmitter is faster than that of optical communication. A transmitter with these merits would be highly appreciated as a way of ultra-highspeed communication network over short distances.

밀리미터파 대역(30∼300GHz)의 전파에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 NRD(Non Radiative Dielectric)에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. NRD Guide 에서는 평행한 평판 전도체의 간격을 반 파장 이하로 좁게 함으로써 공기 영역에서는 차단 상태가 되고 유전체 내에서는 차단상태가 해소되어 밀리미터파의 신호가 방사되지 않고 전송 될 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 밀리미터 웨이브를 발진시키기 위해 밀리미터파 대역에서 쉽게 동작하고 비교적 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 Gunn 발진기의 발진소자인 Gunn Diode를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 스트립 금속 공진기로 공진 주파수를 미조정하여 비방사유전체선로를 통한 밀리미터파 대역의 주파수특성을 분석하고 이러한 특성을 이용하여 60GHz 대역 송신기의 발진회로 설계를 다루었다.

In this paper, we proposed the new rectangular waveguide-NRD waveguide transition in which the transition function about the standard waveguide is built in within the NRD waveguide ifself. The newly proposed rectangular waveguide-NRD waveguide transition was realized use of NRD waveguide input/output side wall thickness and hole width. In the case of the wall thickness, it was nearly identical with the half of the NRD waveguide guide wavelength and the width of an hole was nearly coincide with the length of the long side of the standard waveguide connected with the NRD waveguide. This kind of the principles is applicable to be unrelated with the frequency band. In this paper, it made in 38 GHz band with the rectangular waveguide-NRD waveguide transition and the feasibility was confirmed. In the back-to-back structure, the rectangular waveguide-NRD waveguide transition manufactured in 38 GHz band has the insertion loss less than 0.4 dB and also has the return loss less than 20 dB.
