Publication Open Access 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 ElektronikoaIn 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.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.
