Analysis of Periodic and Aperiodic Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines Using the Fourier Series Expansion

Abstract: Abstract-A general method is proposed to analyze periodic or aperiodic Coupled Nonuniform Transmission Lines (CNTLs). In this method, the per-unit-length matrices are expanded in the Fourier series. Then, the eigenvalues of periodic CNTLs and so the S parameters of aperiodic CNTLs are obtained. The validity of the method is studied using a comprehensive example.

“…Although the Fourier transform has already been used for spectral analysis of some periodic waveguide and grating structures [16,17], however, so far, we have not seen any published reports on the dependence of the spectral properties of these multilayer's on the physical parameters. In this paper, using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, we have studied the spectral properties of the Fibonacci quasi-periodic structures of various dimensions and various refractive index profiles.…”

“…By definition, a CCITL possesses conjugate characteristic impedances Z ± 0 of waves propagating in the opposite directions along the transmission line. Examples of CCITLs are reciprocal lossless uniform TLs, nonreciprocal lossless uniform TLs [8][9][10], exponentially tapered lossless nonuniform TLs [2,11,12] and periodically loaded lossless TLs operated in passband [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Using the ABCD matrix technique, it can be shown that the equation of the input impedance at each terminal of loaded finite lossless periodic structures is in the same form as that of CCITLs [4].…”
