Publication Open Access General synthesis of tapered matching sections for single mode operation using the coupled-mode theory(IEEE, 2019) Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenIn this paper, a novel and general method to synthetize microwave waveguide tapers intended for single mode operation is proposed. The technique is based on the use of an exact series solution of the inverse scattering synthesis problem. An additional strategy necessary for dealing with waveguides where the propagation constant varies with the position is included. The coupled-mode theory is employed to model the electromagnetic behavior of the taper with the inherent mismatch caused by the connection of the waveguides with different cross-sections. The novel method allows us to synthesize the (classical) transmission line taper functions of Klopfenstein and Hecken, making them suitable for general waveguide tapers with single mode operation. Additionally, a new type of taper functions, also suitable for general waveguide tapers, is presented. The novel functions are obtained by partially employing the frequency response of multisection transformers, resulting in fully smooth tapers that can offer shorter lengths than the classical proposals. The taper synthesis procedure is demonstrated in rectangular waveguide technology, by requiring realistic and challenging specifications for different cases with different waveguide cross-sections to be matched: height mismatch, width mismatch, and simultaneous height and width mismatch. Several prototypes of Klopfenstein, Hecken and novel function tapers have been fabricated in an aluminum alloy by means of an Additive Manufacturing technique (Direct Metal Laser Sintering). The simulation and measurement results obtained for the rectangular waveguide taper prototypes confirm the accuracy of the novel synthesis technique proposed.Publication Open Access Passive microwave component design using inverse scattering: theory and applications(Hindawi, 2013) Arnedo Gil, Israel; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Chudzik, Magdalena; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Lujambio Genua, Aintzane; Benito Pertusa, David; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaWe briefly review different synthesis techniques for the design of passive microwave components with arbitrary frequency response, developed by our group during the last decade. We provide the theoretical foundations based on inverse scattering and coupledmode theory as well as several applications where the devices designed following those techniques have been successfully tested. The main characteristics of these synthesis methods are as follows. (a) They are direct, because it is not necessary to use lumpedelement circuit models; just the target frequency response is the starting point. (b)They are exact, as there is neither spurious bands nor degradation in the frequency response; hence, there is no bandwidth limitation. (c) They are flexible, because they are valid for any causal, stable, and passive transfer function; only inviolable physical principles must be guaranteed. A myriad of examples has been presented by our group in many different technologies for very relevant applications such as harmonic control of amplifiers, directional couplerwith enhanced directivity and coupling, transmission-type dispersive delay lines for phase engineering, compact design of high-power spurious free low-pass waveguide filters for satellite payloads, pulse shapers for advanced UWB radar and communications and for novel breast cancer detection systems, transmission-type Nth-order differentiators for tunable pulse generation, and a robust filter design tool.
