We report on a high performance 94 GHz MMIC resistive mixer using 70-nm metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (MHEMT) and micro-machined W-band ring coupler. A novel 3-dimensional structure of resistive mixer was proposed in this work, and the ring coupler with the surface micro-machined dielectric-supported air-gap microstrip line (DAMLs) structure was used for high LO-RF isolation. The fabricated mixer showed an excellent LO-RF isolation of -29.3 dB and a low conversion loss of 8.9 dB at 94 GHz. To our knowledge, compared to previously reported W-band mixers, the proposed MHEMT-based resistive mixer using micro-machined ring coupler has shown superior LO-RF isolation as well as similar conversion loss.

본 논문에서는 기존의 MSA의 구조를 변형하여 S자형 변형된 MSA를 제안했다. 제안된 안테나는 전기력선 형성에 제한 반지 않도록 방사패치와 접지면을 접어 올린 우측 평행 평판사이 용량을 장하하고, 방사패치를 접어내린 좌측 평행 평판과 접지면 사이 용량을 장하한 구조로 설계 제작하였다. 설계된 안테나는 2.24GHz의 중심 주파수에서 5.7%의 대역폭을 갖고 임의의 급전점의 위치변화에 따라 대역폭과 공진 주파수의 변화를 비교하고, 용량 장하의 크기에 따라 대역폭과 통진 주파수론 비교하였다. 또한 제작된 안테나의 방사 패턴 특성은 E면과 H면의 수직·수평 편파의 특성을 측정하여 비교하였다.

In this paper, we studied the design and fabrication of dual T type antenna to be used in LTE communication systems operating at around 1.8 GHz band. In order to improve of frequency properties of antenna, single feed microstrip patch antenna and CPWG antenna was simulated by HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). The fabricated dual T type antennat showed that the measured center frequency, the minimum return loss and -10dB bandwidth were 1.79 GHz, -23.26 dB and 23 MHz, respectively.

The dielectric effects of plastic packages on GaAs($\varepsilon$$_{r}$=13) MMIC microstrip characteristics are analyzed using the spectral domain method (SDM). As being packaged by typical FR-4 composites ($\varepsilon$$_{r}$=14.2) for PCB substrates and plastic packages, the characteristic impedance is reduced by about 6 %, but the effective dielectric constant is increased by 13 % from those of bare microstrip, respectively. The parasitic effects of the packaging materials can greatly degrade the performance of the packaged MMIC. We also calculated the optimum microstrip width, which maintains the 50 $\Omega$ matching condition after plastic packaging. These calculated results can be used to optimize the plastic packages, and extend the application ranges for low cost MMIC production.n.

In this paper, a single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners is used for achieving diverse radiation polarization. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is place parallel to an oblique side of the equilateral-triangular patch. Depending on whether the three identically-sized comers of the triangular patch are cut or not, the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna shows linear polarization(LP) or left-hand circular polarization(LHCP) or Tight-hand circular polarization(RHCP). Based on the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners, a novel reconfigurable microstrip antenna with switchable polarization sense is also proposed. The proposed reconfigurable antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a corner-truncated triangular patch, a small triangular conductor, and a microstrip line. Using a biased PIN diode between the patch and the small triangular conductor, it can produce LP or RHCP according to bias voltages. From the measured results, low cross polarization level when operated in the linear state and good axial ratio in the circular state are observed.

In this paper, a novel rectangular patch antenna is proposed to have Zeroth Order Resonance(ZOR) generated based on the Metamaterial Complosite Right- and Left-Handed(CRLH) structure. Making the in-phase electric field over the entire antenna other than a half-wavelength as the fundamental resonance mode of a standard microstrip patch or its positive multiple, the metallic patch is suggested to be capacitively coupled with only one surrounding rectangular ring, different from the previous 1D ZOR antennas commonly having several metal cells in line. The performance of the proposed antenna is simulated by a 3D field solver that inputs the sizes of the physical structure corresponding to the equivalent circuit designed to have ZOR at 2.4 GHz. Consequently, the resonance frequency, the gain and the antenna efficiency are observed 2.4 GHz, 5 dB and 98%, respectively. Besides, the important property of the proposed antenna is addressed as the combination of the low profile as an advantage of microstrip patch antennas, and the omni-directional field pattern typical of monopole antennas.

A high-performance wideband transition from microstrip to waveguide is proposed. This transition is designed by consideration of gradual field transformation and optimal impedance matching between microstrip line and fin-line. Clear design guidelines of proposed transition using fin-line taper with offset DSPSL (double-sided parallel stripline) are provided to determine the transition shape and the transition length. The fabricated transition exhibits less than 0.67 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 85 to 108 GHz, and less than 1 dB insertion loss from 83 to over 110 GHz. Proposed transition is expected compact radar and various applications.
