Aim:: Computation of loss factors for one-bit RF MEMS switch over Ku, K and Ka-band for two different insulating substrates. Objective:: Numerical investigation of return loss, insertion loss, isolation loss are computed under both actuated and unactuated states for two different insulating substrates of the 1-bit RF MEMS switch, and corresponding up and down-capacitances are obtained. Methods:: The unique characteristics of a 1-bit RF MEMS switch of providing higher return loss under both actuated and unactuated states and also of isolation loss with negligible insertion loss makes it as a prime candidate for phase shifter application. This is presented in this manuscript with a keen focus on improvement capability by changing transmission line width, and also of overlap area; where dielectric constant of the substrate also plays a vital role. Results:: The present work exhibits very low down-capacitance over the spectrum whereas considerable amount of up-capacitance. Also when overall performance in terms of all loss parameters are considered, switch provides very low insertion loss, good return loss under actuated state and standard isolation loss. Conclusion:: Reduction of transmission line width of about 33% improved the performance of the switch by increasing isolation loss. Isolation loss of -40 dB is obtained at actuated condition in higher microwave spectra for SiO 2 at higher overlap area. Down capacitance of ~ 1dB is obtained which is novel as compared with other published literature. Moreover, a better combination of both return loss, isolation loss and insertion loss are reported in this present work compared with all other published data so far.

A coplanar stripline (CPS) to microstrip line transition (MSL) are designed with high characteristics, such as wide band, low return loss and high insertion loss. Two types of tapers are proposed, exponential and triangular to decreases of discontinuity in the power flow in transmission line. The suggested design achieved reflection coefficient under -10 dB over wide band from 1 GHz to 3 GHz and insertion losses of less than 1 dB.

In this paper, a novel wideband right-angle transition between thin substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and rectangular waveguide (RWG) based on multi-section structure operating at center frequency 31.5 GHz is presented. A multi-section SIW with a rectangular aperture etched on the broad wall and two stepped ridges embedded in the RWG flange are introduced to obtain a wide impedance matching. The simulations show that the bandwidth with return loss better than 20 dB is about 17 GHz. In order to verify our designs, two back-to-back transitions with different lengths are fabricated and measured. The experimental results agree well with simulations. The proposed component shows an insertion loss less than 0.44 dB and a return loss better than 14.5 dB over 12.15 GH, which corresponds to 38.57% bandwidth.

Abstract Transmission lines inevitably cross railroads, highways, and other facilities, and in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the cross-crossing section, the influence of various random factors on important cross-crossing transmission lines needs to be fully considered. In this paper, the transmission line crossing section is treated as a tandem system according to the force transmission route, and the reliability calculation method of the cross-crossing transmission line system based on the tandem system is proposed. The reliability calculation method of each component and the reliability calculation method of the tandem system are given. Finally, an example of the reliability calculation of a 220kV cross-crossing transmission line system is given, and the results show that the cross-crossing section has the highest reliability of tower FSJ404, with a reliability index of 8.61, the second highest reliability of insulators, with a reliability index of 7.22, and the lowest reliability of tower FSJ302, with a reliability index of 4.28. The failure probability of the cross-crossing section is 0.000009245, and the reliability index is 4.28.
