M.Ing. (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) / This research project sets out to investigate passive L-C coupling circuits as an alternative to transformer-capacitor couplers, with the prime intention to reduce the cost of coupling in power-line communications, hence the title “Compact, Economical Coupling Circuits for Low-Voltage Power-line Communications”. This chapter first presents a short introduction to Power-Line Communications, and then briefly reviews relevant topics surrounding this project. Also discussed, in general, are the standards and regulations for power-line communications i.e. the CENELEC EN50065.1 Standard and the IEEE 1901.2 Standard. This information intends to give the reader guidelines and relevant protocols and/or rules when designing and building communication devices for PLC. This information will also help us in our designs and experimental set-ups as we proceed with this project. The reader will also be introduced to the concept of filtering and impedance matching in communication systems. Emphasis will be laid on the required output signal frequency profile of a coupling band-pass filter. The chapter will define filtering in terms of communications and also discuss the more significant and important parameters in filter circuits. The last section of this chapter will touch on impedance matching and the concept of maximum power transfer, so as to attain maximum signal transfer to the receiver-end.

This dissertation reports, for the first time, on the electrical coupling of microelectromechanical (MEM) resonators for high order bandpass filter synthesis. Electrical coupling of MEM resonators has a strong potential for extension of the operating frequency of MEM bandpass filters into the ultra high frequency (UHF) range and provides higher tunability and design flexibility compared to the mechanical coupling approach. Various schemes of electrical coupling are presented in this dissertation. Electromechanical models of clamped-clamped beam resonators, and various types of electrically coupled filters are presented. Lower frequency prototypes of electrically coupled filters with operating frequencies in the hundreds of kHz are implemented using micromechanical single crystal silicon clamped-clamped beam resonators. Measurement results are in good agreement with the developed electrical equivalent models of the filters. It is demonstrated that the characteristics of electrically coupled filters can be widely tuned by changing the DC polarization voltages.
