In this article, a new type of microstrip vias-free balanced-to-balanced diplexer suitable for narrow-band applications is presented. The structure of the balanced diplexer is based on two balanced bandpass filters designed for f151.1 GHz and f251.8 GHz and two transmission lines used to satisfy the open circuit conditions required in the diplexer’s design. This diplexer exhibits good common-mo...

This paper presents the procedure for designing a waveguide E-plane diplexer for Ku band with inserted metal septa. The diplexer is designed with filters of the fifth order and with T-junction in E-plane for the purpose of easier integration with microwave transceiver. The aim of this work is to master the design of a diplexer that should obtain 60 dB insulation between receiver and transmitter...

It is notable that level crossing rate, outage probability and average time of fade duration of the combiner output signal are very important system performances. In this paper the level crossing rate, outage probability and fade duration of the SSC combiner output signal in the presence of the Nakagami-m fading are determined. The results are shown graphically for different variance values, de...

We present a paradigm for integrated photonic devices based on broadband slab-confined collimated beams that are launched with half-Maxwell fisheye lenses. Although it is challenging to match the low-index focus of lens while maintaining adequate field confinement close approximation point source, dielectric slot waveguides prove highly suitable, yielding collimators 90% efficiency and bandwidt...
