    Synthesis of one dimensional electromagnetic bandgap structures with fully controlled parameters
    (IEEE, 2017) Arnedo Gil, Israel; Chudzik, Magdalena; Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Benito Pertusa, David; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this paper, we propose a novel synthesis strategy for the design of one dimensional electromagnetic bandgap (1- D-EBG) structures where all the performance parameters of these devices can fully be controlled, i.e., the central frequency of the forbidden band, its attenuation level and bandwidth, and the ripple level at the passbands. The novel synthesis strategy employs a new inverse-scattering technique to accurately synthesize the 1-D-EBG structure, targeting a properly interpolated version of a classical periodic filter fulfilling the required frequency specifications. The new inverse-scattering technique follows a continuous layer peeling approach and relies on the coupled-mode theory to precisely model the microwave structures. Telecommunication and radar systems, as well as material characterization devices, will be profited by this proposal with which enhanced filters, sensors, power dividers, couplers, mixers, oscillators, and amplifiers can be designed in many different technologies. As a proof of concept, a 1-D-EBG structure in microstrip technology with a single forbidden band (free of spurious stopband replicas), with attenuation level of 30 dB, fractional bandwidth larger than 100%, and return loss level at the passbands of 20 dB, has been designed and fabricated. The measurements obtained are in very good agreement with the simulations and target specifications, being free of spurious replicas up to the 15th harmonic, showing the robustness and very good performance of the novel design strategy proposed.

    Synthesis of rectangular waveguide filters with smooth profile oriented to direct metal additive manufacturing
    (IEEE, 2023) Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Hussain, Jabir; Arregui Padilla, Iván; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Benito Pertusa, David; Martín Iglesias, Petronilo; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Gómez Laso, Miguel Ángel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    In this paper, a novel design method for rectangular waveguide filters intended for fabrication using direct metal additive manufacturing is proposed. The synthesized filters will feature a smooth profile that allows us to fabricate them orienting the filter propagation axis in the vertical building direction, achieving an optimum configuration for direct metal additive manufacturing fabrication. The novel design method is valid for any all-pole transfer function, which is initially implemented with a commensurate-line distributed unit element prototype. The impulse response of that initial prototype is then properly interpolated to obtain the target response for a smooth-profiled filter with similar length and profile excursion. Finally, the target impulse response just generated is implemented in rectangular waveguide technology employing a novel inverse scattering synthesis technique that relies on the coupled-mode theory to model the electromagnetic behavior of the waveguide filter. The novel inverse scattering synthesis technique is general and also valid for the case of filters with very high rejection levels, which is of great relevance in rectangular waveguide technology. A Ku-band low-pass filter with stringent satellite specifications is designed using the proposed method, fabricated by means of a direct metal additive manufacturing technique, and measured with a vector network analyzer. A very good agreement is achieved between the simulated and measured results, fulfilling the required specifications and demonstrating the feasibility and performance of the novel design method.

    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 Ingeniaritzaren
    In 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.

    Synthesis of high-performance smooth-profiled tapers and filters in microstrip and rectangular waveguide technologies
    (2020) Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Lopetegui Beregaña, José María; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    En esta tesis, los fundamentos teóricos y la formulación de la Teoría de Acoplo de Modos para el análisis y el modelado electromagnético de guías de onda no uniformes son utilizadas para desarrollar diferentes técnicas de síntesis de dispositivos de microondas y de milimétricas que son automáticas e independientes de la tecnología concreta de implementación. En primer lugar, la técnica para sintetizar estructuras EBG óptimas es descrita y revisada en profundidad. Posteriormente, las técnicas generales y exactas de Inverse Scattering de Gel’fand, Levitan, Marchenko (GLM), Continuous Layer Peeling (CLP) e Integral Layer Peeling (ILP) son presentadas en detalle. Estas técnicas de Inverse Scattering, permiten calcular el coeficiente de acoplo para cualquier respuesta monomodo en reflexión objetivo que cumpla con los principios físicos de estabilidad, causalidad y pasividad. Inspirados en estos métodos de síntesis, se proponen novedosas técnicas de diseño de diferentes componentes de microondas como tapers y multiplexores. Además, se propone un método de diseño de filtros paso bajo y paso banda de perfil suave que no presentan bandas de rechazo espurias. La aplicación de esta técnica para el diseño de filtros de alto rechazo en guía de onda rectangular da lugar a estructuras que resultan sumamente apropiadas para ser fabricadas con las novedosas técnicas de fabricación aditiva (AM) en metales. Las diferentes técnicas de diseño propuestas son validadas mediante la realización de varios ejemplos de prácticos de diseño en el rango de microondas en los que se logra alto grado de concordancia entre las respuestas objetivo, simuladas y medidas.
