Abstract :
Directional coupler modulator response may be synthesized by using a suitable coupling function, which may be determined by using Gel´fand-Levitan-Marchenko inverse scattering technique or by the inverse Fourier transform technique. The techniques provide possibility of designing coupler modulators with low switching voltages and better linearity. In this paper, the implementation of the coupling function for a linear modulator is outlined.
