Multilayer Microstrip Forms Tunable Bandstop Filters
Tunable bandstop filters are useful for a wide range of applications in eliminating unwanted signals and interference. Designing such filters can be greatly simplified with a new structure fabricated on multilayer microstrip substrates with a metallic diaphragm. This new structure overcomes the limitations of traditional tunable bandstop filter designs and supports simple, low-cost manufacturing processes.1 The new tunable filter...

Analyze EM Parameters Of Slotted Tube Couplers
This numerical method accounts for thickness effects in determining the coupling coefficient as well as the even-and odd-mode impedances for slotted tube couplers. Abdelhafid Lallam Assistant Professor of Physics University of Mascara, BP 305 Route de Mamounia 29000 Mascara, Algeria; (045) 80-41-68/69, FAX: (045) 80-41-64, e-mail: ab_lallam@yahoo.fr Nadia Benabdallah Physics Engineer ...

Analyzing A Resonator For MRI Applications
Magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) systems can produce high-resolution images of cross sections of human bodies, proving to be invaluable for medical diagnostics. An important component in an MRI system is the RF probe used to emit a uniform RF magnetic field over the section of the human body under investigation and needed to receive the magnetic-resonance signals from the body for constructing high-quality images. What follows is an electromagnetic ...

Sliced Coaxial Cables Form Compact Couplers
Coupled sliced coaxial cables can provide signal coupling in a compact form factor for 50and 75-W systems. With the ready availability of accurate computer-aided-engineering (CAE) tools, it is possible to apply some basic formulas for calculating the dimensions of these structures to achieve a desired amount of coupling on different substrate materials. What follows is a straightforward approach to calculating those dimensions and analyzing coupler designs fabricated with coupled...

Design Coupled Microstrip Resonators For MRI
Magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) systems for medical and scientific applications require a high-performance, high-power inductor capable of establishing a uniformly strong magnetic field. The transverse-electromagnetic (TEM) resonator1 has received a great deal of attention recently as a superior replacement for standard birdcage coils2 in MRI applications requiring magnetic field levels of 4.7 to 9.4 T. For example, at operating frequencies of 200...

Design Directional Couplers For High-Power Applications
Directional couplers are invaluable components for measuring the power levels of signals in microwave systems. Especially when high power levels are involved, a properly designed directional coupler provides a lower-power coupled signal that is within the power measurement range of a power meter or spectrum analyzer. By applying the finite-element method (FEM) of analysis, it is possible to effectively analyze and design asymmetrical rectangular (coaxial-microstrip and coaxial-stripline)...

Analyzing EM Parameters For Shielded Bandline
Shielded symmetrical bandline transmission lines offer some noteworthy characteristics for high-frequency designs, including low signal loss. In order to better understand the nature of these transmission lines, they were examined using the finite-element method (FEM) 1,2 method-of-moments (MoM) analysis, 3 and curve-fitting techniques. Through these analysis approaches, a set of closed-form equations was developed to determine the characteristic...
