NUMERICAL APERTURE DETERMINATION FOR FIBERS
AIM
To calculate the numerical aperture and acceptance angle for the given optical
fiber.
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED
1. VOFT-02-A1
2. 1m plastic fiber cable
3. Numerical Aperture setup
THEORY
For light rays to be propagated along a fiber they must fall within the fibers
acceptance angle. The numerical aperture of a fiber is an indication of how much lighta
fiber can accept to propagate through it.The light transmitted inside a fiber account
the total internal reflection, light travel not only along fiber’s central axis but also
various angles to centerline. The light rays fallen out of acceptance angle deviates
from total internal reflection, they gets refracted from core-cladding boundary,
provides losses to the information.
From the above figure, at the air-fiber interface, the beam at an angle θais the
incident beam and the beam at an angle θc is the launched one which is the refracted beam
with respect to air-core interface and reflected beam with respect to the core- cladding
interface respectively. Hence launched beam(critical angle) makes internal reflection
whenever the incident beam(θa)achieves an angle called acceptance angle.

The transmitter of an optical fiber communication system consists of an optical source, optical
interconnects and associated electronics necessary for modulation of the light output in accordance with
the information or intelligence signal. An optical source is the key component of the optical transmitter
unit. The purpose of an optical source is to convert an electrical signal reliably into optical radiation
(E/O conversion). There are a variety of optical sources that convert electrical energy to an
optical signal (light). However, in view of the compatibility with the dimensions of an optical fiber,
semiconductor optical sources are generally used in fiber optic communication system. There are two types of
semiconductor optical source e.g. LightEmitting Diode (LED) and Injection Laser Diode (ILD) often referred
to as Laser Diode (LD).

from Electrical-to-Optical (E/O) domain is generally achieved in an optical fiber communication system
by an optical source (e.g. light emitting diode or injection laser diode) at the transmitter end.

DATE: S - MATRIX CHARACTERIZATION OF E-PLANE TEE,
H-PLANE TEE AND MAGIC TEE.
AIM
To determine the isolation, coupling coefficient and input VSWR for E and H
plane waveguide Tee and Magic Tee junctions.
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED
THEORY
H Plane Tee
Fig 1(a) shows the sketch of an H plane tee. It is clear from the sketch that an auxiliary
waveguide arm is fastened perpendicular to the narrow wall of a main guide, thus it is a
three port device in which axis of the auxiliary or side arm is parallel to the planes of the
magnetic field of the main of the main guide and the coupling from the main guide to the
branch guide is by means of magnetic fields. Therefore, it is also known as H plane tee.
The perpendicular arm is generally taken as input and other two arms are in shunt
to the input and hence it is also called as shunt t ee. Because of symmetry of the tee;
equivalent circuit of H plane, when power enters the aux iliary arm, and the two main arms
1 and 2 are terminated in identical loads, the power supplied to e ach load is equal a nd in
phase with one another.
If two signals of equal amplitude and in same phase are fed into two main arms1 and
2, they will be added together in the side arm. Thus H plane tee is an `adder’.
E Plane Tee
..
.
.
It is clear from the sketch of the E plane tee that an auxiliary waveguide arm is
fastened to the broader wall of the main guide. Thus it is also a three port device in which
the auxiliary arm axis in parallel to the plane of the electric fields of the main guide, and
the coupling from the main guide to the auxiliary guide is by means of electric fields.
Therefore, it is also known as E plane tee. It is clear that it causes load connected to its
branches to appear in series. So it is often referred to as a series tee.
As indicated in fig, the two main guide arms are symmetrical with respect to the
auxiliary guide arm. As such if power is fed from the auxiliary arm, it is equally distributed
in the two arms 1 and 2 when they are terminated in equal loads. However as depicted in the
field configuration, the power flowing out in arm 1 is 180 out of phase to the one in arm 2.
As such its tee is known as `subtracter’ or `differencer’.
H-PLANE Tee:
MAGIC Tee
The name `magic Tee’ is derived from the manner in which power divides among
various arms. If power is fed into arm3, the electric field divides equally between arms 1 and
2 and the fields are in phase. Because of symmetry of the T junction, no net electric field
parallel to the narrow dimension of the waveguide is excited in arm 4. Thus no power is
coupled in port 4. Reciprocity demands no coupling in port 3 if power is fed in4.
..
.
.
Another property that results from the symmetry of the junction is, if power is fed
in E or H arm, it is equally divided between arms 1 and 2. Further, magic tee being
combination of E and H plane tees, if power is fed from arms 1 and 2, it is added in H
arm (3) while is subtracted in E arm (4).
A simple E-H tee has disadvantage of not being matched when seen from E and H
arms when side arms are terminated in matched loads. The VSWR being > 2 the most
commonly used method to reduce VSWR is to introduce discontinuity such as port iris in or
near T junction to cancel out reflections occurring there in.
Isolation
The isolation of a T junction is the ratio of power supplied from a matched generator
to one of the arms, to the power coupled to a matched detect or in any other arm when the
remaining arm is terminated in a matched load.
P V
I13 = 10 log10 ( 1/P ) dB, I13 = 20 log10 ( 1/V ) dB,
3 3
Similarly
P V
I31 = 10 log10 ( 3/P ) dB, I31 = 20 log10 ( 3/V ) dB,
1 1
P V
I32 = 10 log10 ( 3/P ) dB, I32 = 20 log10 ( 3/V ) dB,
2 2
When arm 2 becomes the input, we will have other two values of isolation, I21 and I23. Due
to reciprocity Property, I21 will be the same as I12. Therefore, we shall measure onlythe
first four isolation coefficients.
..
.
.
b) Coupling coefficient
α is the attenuation in db be tween the input and detector arm when the third arm is
terminated in a matched load. For example, th e attenuation measured between arms 1 and
2 is 3 db when arm 3 terminated in matched load, that is, the coupling coefficient between
arms 1 and 2,
C = 10–∝/20=10–3/20 = 0.708dB
c) Input VSWR
The are three values of input VSWR associated with a tee, one for each arm. The
VSWR of any arm of a tee is the voltage standing wave ratio existing on a transmission line
terminated by that arm of the tee when the other two arm of the tee are terminated in matched
loads.
a) Input VSWR
Corresponding to each port of a magic tee as load to the line, there is a value
of VSWR. Thus there are four values of VSWR. VSWR is defined as the ratio
of maximum voltage to minimum voltage of the standing waves existing on
the line when one port of the tee terminates the line while other three ports are
terminated in matched loads.
b) Isolations
The isolation between E-and H-arms is defined as the ratio of the power
supplied by the matched generator connected to E-arms (port-4), to the power
detected in H- arm (port-3) by a matched detector when collineararms
(1&2) are terminated in matched loads. It is expressed in db.
I34 = 10 log10 P4/P3, I34 = 20 log 10 (V4 / V3)
P4 : power incident in port4(E-arm)
P3 : power detected in port3 (H-arm)
Similarly isolation between other ports may also be defined and measured.
c) Coupling Coefficient:
The voltage coupling coefficient from arm I to arm j is defined as Cij = 10-
α/20

MODE CHARACTERISTICS OF REFLEX KLYSTRON
AIM
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED
THEORY
Klystron is a microwave vacuum tube employing velocity modulation. These
electrons move towards the repeller(ie) the electrons leaving the cavity during thepositive
half cycle are accelerated while those during negative half cycle are decelerated. The
faster ones penetrate further while slower ones penetrate lesser in the field of repeller
voltage. But, faster electrons leaving the cavity take longer time to return and hence catch
up with slower ones. In the cavity the electrons bunch and interact with the voltage
between the cavity grids. It consists of an electron gun producing a collimated electron
beam.
It bunches pass through grids at time the grid potentials is such that electrons
are decelerated they give by energy. The electrons are then collected by positive cavity
wall near cathode.
PROCEDURE
i) Assemble the components as shown in fig.
ii) After following the necessary precautions, the Klystron Power Supply is
switched ON.
iii) To obtain peak voltage, the attenuator is positioned at it’s minimum
attenuation.
iv) Vary the repeller voltage from it’s maximum negative value and increase
it in steps on N and record output power and frequency.
v) The frequency is measured by tuning the basic frequency meter to have a
dip in the output voltage each time.
vi) The frequency meter is detuned before measuring the output power each
time.
vii) The mode characteristics of Reflex Klystron is plotted. (i.e. Output
