Through thermoregulation, each channel can be independently switched between the add and drop states[
In the present paper a two-stage system with a modified four-port circuit has been designed and proven. This system is formed by a modified four-port microstrip network. During operation, two energy states (frequency) are generated in the system. The state transition induced energy in the center of the circuit. This is called WGM. The electron cloud generated in the WGM shell oscillates at the Rabi frequency known as the Rabi antenna. Any wave-particle projection can form the Rabi oscillation. However, the Rabi oscillation can be formed when the speed of light is

3. Experiment and Results
In this work, we have applied the wave-particle aspect of the signals propagating within a photonic device. From Fig. 1, many particles move along the circular ring leading to a multi-level system before the two-level system arrives by successive filtering. The successive filtering means continuously running the input AC source into the add-drop filter, which has been clarified as the filtering device as given reference works. The matching ring radius and driven AC frequency are applied to obtain the Rabi oscillation. After successive filtering, the higher frequency leads to having the particle speed faster than light speed. The plot between the microstrip ring radius and frequency has been shown in Fig. 3. From the matching between the Rabi frequency and ring radius to obtain the Rabi oscillation, where the speed of particles along the circular path is equal to

A new way of two-level system phenomenon behavior can be accommodated by the wave-particle moving along the circular motion, which can be used to form the Rabi oscillation in both theory and experiment. In this work, the antenna was formed by a parallel coupled line microstrip four-port network, where the coupling between the ring and waveguide structure can be used the same as an add-drop multiplexer. The circular part motion is formed by a modified microstrip add-drop multiplexer, as shown in Fig. 2. The prototype circuit used the microstrip add-drop multiplexer with substrate FR4, which has the following electrical properties: relative dielectric constant of 4.55, base material height of 1.60 mm, and tangent loss of 0.02. The program used is Sonnet Lite. The simulation was performed based on the electromagnetic waves effect of the microstrip add-drop multiplexer circuit to determine the response frequencies of the device using the momentum method. The results were obtained using a vector network analyzer (Keysight Network Analyzer model E5063A), where a reference-level network analyzer was used before the measurement. The measured frequencies were ranged from 100 kHz–4 GHz. The Rabi antenna design and simulation were applied to confirm the expected results before the construction, where the concept is that the Rabi oscillation can be formed by the add-drop multiplexer, from which the applied AC source with the specified frequency was fed into the add-drop multiplexer. The electrons (particles) were coupled and moved along the circular part under the successive filtering. The relationship between the current driving frequency and microstrip ring radius with the light speed
From Fig. 2, the suitable microstrip ring radius and driven frequency source were selected and used as inputs into the microstrip add-drop multiplexer. The wave-particle aspect of the driven electromagnetic wave propagation within a nonlinear microstrip ring resonator is established, as shown in Fig. 3(b). The harmonic oscillator of two masses generated in the Rabi oscillation can be found in Ref. [30], where a clear description is given. In operation, the multi-level energy modes are initially formed and oscillated within the system, from which the higher-order energy modes of photon propagation in the system can be filtered by successive filtering within an add-drop device. Using the successive filtering continuously, the two-level system will be collapsed and stopped eventually, which will return again under the successive filtering. In the experiment, the speed of the moving particles equals the speed of light in a vacuum. The Rabi frequency is generated and observed. During the Rabi oscillation, the transition energy between the excited and ground states is the squeezed energy in the form of the WGM. Figure 4 shows the result of the Rabi oscillation obtained from the simulation using the system in the experiment, where the suitable ring radius is 25 mm when the resonant frequency is approximated to 2.103 GHz. Figure 4 shows the simulation results of the Rabi antenna response frequencies of f1, f0, f2 and the coupling coefficients at the drop port (

In application, the use of the relativistic behaviors of photons (electrons) within the transition energy gap to form the travelling speed faster than light speed can be realized before the system collapses. The electrons moving in the circuit faster than light speed can be confirmed by the blue-shift and travelling speed calculation (
4. Conclusion
We have demonstrated that the Rabi oscillation of the two-level system can be formed by the driven AC into a microstrip add-drop multiplexer. The AC coupling power into the circuit can drive electrons moving along the device structure, where initially the multi-level system of electron oscillation is formed based on the wave-particle duality aspect. The higher-order modes of multi-level system oscillation are filtered by successive filtering, from which the resonant Rabi oscillation is obtained. From the experiment, the obtained center frequency is at 2.103 GHz, which is resonant with the FR4 microstrip ring radius of 25 mm and the input AC frequency of 4 GHz. Consequently, the blue-shift of the Rabi oscillation is observed with the frequency of 2.160 GHz, from which the calculated electron warp speed of 1.10c is achieved, and the time dilation is 6 ns. Most of the obtained results have shown good agreement with the simulation. However, there are deviations from the simulation, which may be caused by the device construction errors. The designed Rabi antenna can be applied for both electronic circuits and antenna usages, from which the quantum operation using the circuit can be used. Moreover, the sub-level sensors using the suitable arrangement for cells, molecules, atoms, and spectroscopy can be realized. The connection between two spaces (device ports) can be observed before collapsing. It has the possibility of using the teleport channel for electron transportation, where the same electrons can appear in different spaces. Using this device structure, the larger ring radius can be made with suitable material and AC driven frequency, which can offer more aspects of investigations. There are also some curious aspects of the gap of the Rabi oscillation transition states during successive filtering that can be focused for future investigations.
