    Design of Coupled-Line Wilkinson Power Divider for UMTS mobile applications

    A power divider is a critical passive device, which is commonly used in microwave systems. This microwave component splits the input power, evenly or unevenly, into several smaller output powers. In this paper, we present a design of a coupled-line Wilkinson power divider (WPD) for UMTS mobiles applications. This divider consist two (λ/4) transmission lines and an isolation resistor R, which is connected between output ports. The main disadvantage of this structure is large size and narrow band, especially at lower frequencies. The proposed design composed a signal coupled line to replace the two (λ/4) transmission lines in conventional WPD and one isolation resistor R. The use of a coupled line, in our WPD, offers many advantages compared to the standard WPD including compact size, wide bandwidth, low profile and high isolation. The design was printed on a Rogers RO4003C with an ɛᵣ=3.55 and a thickness of 0.813 mm. Simulations results indicate that the proposed WPD presents low return losses in all ports and high isolation between output ports over the third-generation mobile band.

    Power divider/combiners are among the most commonly used passive devices in the microwave and millimeter wave systems for modern communication. This paper presents simulation of a wideband GYSEL power divider for wireless applications. The GYSEL PD is a three-port device with matched ports and isolated outputs, suitable for high power applications through the use of two shunt-terminated resistors. The proposed power divider consists of transmission line sections with different characteristic impedances and two grounded resistors. The electrical lengths of all the TLs sections are 90º at the design frequency. The divider network is designed using Computer Simulation Technology software by applying proposed GPD design. The GPD was designed on a Rogers’s RO4003C substrate with dielectric constant of 3.55. The thickness of the substrate is 0.508 mm and loss tangent of 0.0027. The proposed GYSEL power divider is printed on a substrate with a size of 35 x 30 mm2. The simulated results of the proposed divider show good return loss, insertion loss and isolation performance across the band from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz; with central frequency at 3.5 GHz. GYSEL power divider can split an incoming signal into two parts successfully. The measured input return loss (S11) are better than -15 dB, and output return loss (S22, S33 ) is better than -20 dB across the wide-band range. The isolation is greater than -30 dB with a very wide band, from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz. In addition, the power is divided equally between output ports with the same phase. This new structure is suitable for wideband, high isolation, and high power applications.

    Dielectric resonator antennas have become widely used in many applications due to their several advantages such as small size, low profile, low loss, and high gain. This work presents a parametric study of a simple rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA), which is dedicated for ISM applications. To design this antenna, an EM simulation has been used. The proposed structure consists of plastic substrate and a simple Aperture-coupled feed line over a rectangular feeding slot made at the ground plane. The substrate has a relative permittivity 𝜀𝑟 of 2.65. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 49.5 𝑥 49.5 𝑥 1.6 𝑚𝑚3.

Among the DRA parameters which are used in our parametric study, we can cite the physical dimensions of the resonator and the dimensions of the slot. The physical dimensions of the dielectric patch are 30 𝑚𝑚, 30 𝑚𝑚 and 30 𝑚𝑚 for the length, width, and height, respectively. As a results, the parametric study on the different DRA parameters indicates that the dimension of the dielectric patch and the length of the slot have a considerable effect on the resonance frequency value and the adaptation of the DRA.

    Design of Coupled-Line Wilkinson Power Divider for Wireless Communications

    A power divider (PD) is a fundamental component in wireless communication systems. This microwave component divides the input power equally or unequally into several smaller outputs. There are many types of PDs in microwave domain such as Wilkinson power divider (WPD), GYSEL power divider (GPD) and others, however, WPDs are commonly used in microwave electronics. These dividers typically operate at a single frequency band and utilize two quarter-wavelength (λ/4) transmission lines and one isolation resistor. The standard WPD distributes power equally with minimal loss, presents reciprocity as it behaves similarly in both directions, and provides high isolation between the output ports. This paper presents the design of a WPD with coupled lines for wireless applications. The coupled lines offer many advantages to the standard WPD in terms of wide operating frequency range, compact size, and low profile. The proposed WPD operates at 2.1 GHz third generation mobile applications. The designed Wilkinson PD was printed on a Rogers' RO4003C substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.55. The substrate thickness is 0.813 mm, and a copper thickness of 35 μm. Based on the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed WPD presents low return losses in all the ports and high isolation over the third-generation mobile band.

    Investigation and performance analysis of LG‑SDM‑FSO transmission system using 2 μm laser beam under atmospheric turbulences

    The deployment of free-space optical (FSO) communication links is simple, fast and economical than optical fiber networks. However, it presents weakness in front of low visibility and its performance is deteriorated by atmospheric turbulence due to different weather conditions. In this paper, we have investigated an effective FSO system by integrating space division multiplexing (SDM) that can be used to enhance the information-carrying capabilities of FSO links. In addition, we have used a laser beam operating at 2 μm wavelength as an optical link in the proposed SDM-FSO system, which relates the telecom performance and the FSO link state, in terms of turbulence. In this system, information channels are transmitted concurrently over distinct Laguerre–Gaussian modes (LG) of the laser beam, where each mode is used to carrying independent 10 Gbps data stream. The availability of the LG-SDM-FSO system in dependence on weather conditions and on FSO link parameters, such as transmitted optical power, geometric loss, beam divergence, receiver aperture diameter, and link range, is discussed. The performance of our system is evaluated based on eye diagram, Q Factor and BER measurements.
