    Analysis and optimization of wideband tapered directional couplers by DTM method

    , Article Microwave and Optical Technology Letters ; Vol. 56, issue. 8 , August , 2014 , pp. 1795-1798 ; ISSN: 08952477 Ali Sadreghaeni, S. M ; Banai, A ; Mehrany, K ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this article, a novel approach based on differential transfer matrix method is proposed for fast analysis and optimization of wideband planar tapered directional couplers. In this method, both even and odd modes can be analyzed independently to obtain overall scattering matrix. The new method accelerates the optimization time considerably in planar structures. An 8.34 dB tapered coupler in the frequency band of 1-12 GHz is designed and optimized in the form of offset stripline structure. The experimental result shows good agreement with theory  

    Coupling between microring resonators in presence of Kerr effect

    , Article Optics Communications ; Volume 281, Issue 9 , 2008 , Pages 2644-2650 ; 00304018 (ISSN) Ghadi, A ; Bahrampour, A. R ; Farrahi Moghaddam, R ; Taraz, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The high degree of intensity values in microring resonators needs a careful treatment of nonlinear phenomena. Nonlinear effects are analyzed in coupling problem of ring-ring directional couplers. It has been observed that the nonlinearity affects the coupling device dramatically, and can be used as controlling techniques in such as coupled resonator optical waveguides. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

    Design and Analysis of Graphene-based Terahertz Nanocircuits

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Jafargholi, Ali (Author) ; Borji, Amir (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In the year 2004 when the first instance of graphen was built in laboratory, entice the attraction of many research groups. Because in spite of absence of graphen to that time, physicists given the unique properties for it. So it was the time to use that marvel properties which only theoretically available, to design and built one atom thick circuits. In this dissertation for the first time, we want by using method of moment and multilayer green functions in spectral domain, analyze graphene-based ribbon and stepped electrical conductivity distribution waveguides and calculate their characteristics such as propagation constant, surface currents and characteristics impedance with external... 

    A novel dual-band transmission line with equal-phase responses

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques ; Volume 69, Issue 2 , 2021 , Pages 1265-1272 ; 00189480 (ISSN) Rezvani Pakdeh, M ; Tajik, A ; Fakharzadeh, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This article presents a novel dual-band transmission line (TL), consisting of a multibranch stub, which can provide equal unwrapped phases at two different frequencies. The frequency ratio can be close to one without any significant degradation in the device performance. Besides, the bandwidth of the proposed line can be manipulated at both frequencies by adjusting the design parameters. The behavior of the structure over the frequency bands is investigated theoretically, and the design procedure and relations are derived. The simulation and measurement results of a quarter-wavelength open-ended stub and a branch-line coupler (BLC) are presented and compared to verify the performance of the... 

    Analysis and Design of Microwave Broadband Directional Coupler by DTMM

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sadreghaeni, Mohammad Ali (Author) ; Banai, Ali (Supervisor) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Today’s technological trend towards higher performance microwave and digital circuits at increasingly smaller sizes poses new challenges to both the microwave and high-speed VLSI designers. One aspect of these challenges lies in the fact that nonuniform transmission structures must often be used to reduce circuit sizes, to increase circuit bandwidth, to reduce discontinuity effects, and to optimize the overall circuit performance. Coupled microwave transmition lines are one of most common microwave circuits, that are use to design couplers, power dividers, hybrids, baluns, filters, phase shifters, matching circuts and so on. The broadband tight couplers are one of interesting devices that... 

    Analysis and Design of Wideband Power Combiner/splitter and Directional Coupler for Millimeter-wave Imaging

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mahmoudi Mahmoudalilou, Elnaz (Author) ; Farzaneh, Forouhar (Supervisor) ; Fakharzadeh, Mohammad (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    tIncreasing the bandwidth of a receiver is limited to the bandwidth of the system's internal components such as amplifiers, power dividers / combiners, and directional couplers, which are widely used in array antenna systems. Wilkinson splitters are often used for balanced power dividers and hybrid branch line couplers are used for directional couplers because their macrostrip structure makes them lighter and cheaper, and ultimately increases their use. Unfortunately, these elements provide up to 20% fractional bandwidth, which is not enough in our intended use. Also, the design of the power divider at millimeter wave frequencies has challenges such as matching impedance across all bands and... 

    A distributed circuit model for side-coupled nanoplasmonic structures with metal-insulator-metal arrangement

    , Article IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics ; Volume 18, Issue 6 , March , 2012 , Pages 1692-1699 ; 1077260X (ISSN) Rezaei, M ; Jalaly, S ; Miri, M ; Khavasi, A ; Fard, A. P ; Mehrany, K ; Rashidian, B ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    A transmission line model is developed for coupled plasmonic metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides. In the proposed model coupling between electric fields of two plasmonic waveguides is modeled by distributed mutual capacitor while distributed mutual inductor accounts for magnetic field coupling. These mutual elements are determined using propagation constants of supermodes of coupled waveguides. The model is applied to analyze coupled line directional coupler and side-coupled rectangular resonators. The effectiveness of the model is assessed using fully numerical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The results have excellent agreement with the numerical methods

    Abstract
    The modal analysis of a lossy coupled plasmonic waveguide consisting of two graphene sheets sandwiched among three SiO 2 layers is presented. This analysis extracts even and odd complex propagation constants in addition to even and odd characteristic impedances at various Fermi levels. It is shown that the first even mode is lossless in theory, but other modes are very lossy. Taking into account the losses, first, the transmission line (RLCG) model, including self and mutual elements, is constructed for various Fermi levels and frequencies. Then, the length of a lossy plasmonic directional coupler based on the coupled plasmonic waveguide is designed for a variety of Fermi levels. The...
