We have developed a wideband receiver system for simultaneous observations in CO lines of J = 2-1 and 3-2 transitions using the Osaka 1.85-m mm-submm telescope. As frequency separation system, we multiplexers that connect three types diplexers, each consisting branch-line couplers high-pass filters. The radio (RF) signal is eventually distributed into four bands, which fed to superconductor-ins...

─ A simple and novel low-loss diplexer with two folded Open-Loop Ring Resonators (OLRRs) that couple three microstrip lines is proposed. The first passband and second passband of the designed diplexer could be easily and accurately shifted to a desired frequency and construct the bandpass filters by adjusting the physical dimensions of the OLRRs. These results suggested that the proposed diplex...

This letter presents a 4 × single-layer dual-band array antenna operating in the K- and Ka-band using gap waveguide (GW) technology. Radiating elements consist of I-shaped slots located on top plate backed by novel coaxial cavity with dual-frequency operation. The two ports, one for each band, radiates directive far field pattern linear polarization. A wideband corporate-feed network is used to...

A novel compact diplexer based on mixed-mode isosceles right triangular (IRT) substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavities is presented. dual-mode IRT SIW junction cavity direct-coupled with two single-mode for lower and upper channels, respectively. The has third-order filtering centred at 16 18.3 GHz 400 422 MHz bandwidths. in-band measured return insertion losses are 19 dB/1.3 dB in the ban...

A planar millimeter-wave third-harmonic mixer with low conversion loss is proposed. The mixing circuit consists of a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) balun, a pair of diodes, a diplexer and microstrip matching circuit. The mixer is ideal for use as down-converter and up-converter. For a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) of 2 GHz, the mixer has an up-conversion loss of 14.5-15.6 dB and a dow...

This paper describes the design and measurement of a varactor-tuned planar diplexer for reconfigurable multi-mode/multi-standard transceiver front-end modules. The proposed diplexer of 3 cm × 1.8 cm is composed of two tunable dual-mode bandpass filters with two varactor diodes. The diplexer channels are 8.8% relative bandwidth at 2.48 and 3.2 GHz for 25 V biased voltage, while 7.5% and 4.1% are...

A fast directional switch (FADIS) is described, which allows controlled switching of high-power microwaves between two outputs. A possible application could be synchronous stabilization of neoclassical tearing modes (NTM). Generally, the device can be used to share the installed EC power between different types of launchers or different applications (e.g. in ITER, midplane / upper launcher). Th...
