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.

Transmission line characteristics in microstrip line is used to in this paper. 5-microstrip lines composed of various spacing between them suggests characteristics of a diplexer in simulation. By applying the simiulation results, the diplexer realized shows better results of flat responses in bandpass characteristics and bandstop characteristics around 15 dB than symmetric spacing one.

The resonator using two layer microstrip structure was proposed and the bandpass filter was designed using this resonator in this paper. The proposed resonator structure is constructed by placing a U-shape of resonator in the first layer and then placing a broadside coupling strip in the second layer just above of the U-shape of resonator's edge part. Because these structure has various design parameters than general single layer coupled line structure, filter design is more flexible. In this paper, the narrow band filter was designed using multi-layer structure that had been applied to broadband filter because it's high coupling nature. The filter was designed to have 4MHz center frequency and 3 % fractional bandwidth, and finally confirmed that can be realizable narrow band filter by using multi-layer structure through fabrication and measurement.

A clear and efficient design method for ultra-wideband microstrip-to-coplanar stripline(CPS) transition, which is based on the analytical expressions of the whole transitional structure, is presented. The conformal mapping is applied to obtain the characteristic impedance of the transitional structure within 3.2 % accuracy as compared with the EM-simulation results. The transition is designed to provide broadband impedance matching using Klopfenstein taper. The implemented transition performs less than 1 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 5.39~40 GHz.

In this study, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated. The micropump, which was developed in the previous work, is composed of a four-layer lightweight piezocomposite actuator, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, the fluid domain and the structural domain are coupled in the three-dimensional simulation. We used ANSYS for the piezoelectric and structural domains and ANSYS CFX for the fluid domain. The effects of driven frequency on the flow rate have been investigated by simulating the flow characteristics for 10 Hz and 40 Hz driven frequencies. The flow rates with respect to driven frequencies up to 300 Hz have been calculated.

In this study, the characteristics of the structure of buried type capacitor for RF multi- chip-module are investigated. We developed many kinds of structures to minimize the space of capacitor in module and the value of parastic series inductance without any loss in capacitance, and in this procedure the effect of vias especially position, size, number length are analyzed and optimized. This characteristics of structures are checked through HFSS(high frequency structure simulator) of HP, and the value of parastic series inductance is calculated by equivalent circuit analysis. And ensuing the result of simulation, we made buried type capacitors using LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) material. In measurement of this sample, we found out the effective and precise method can be applied to buried type and characteristics of vias and striplines added for measuring are quantified.

In this paper, we designed a multiband monopole antenna for next-generation WLAN system. In conventional WLAN system, UWB antennas were used together, and, because the radiation occurs in different parts depending on the antenna structure, it has the disadvantage of having an unstable impulse response characteristic due to dispersion characteristics. Although a UWB antenna that has suitable radiation pattern for WLAN band, it does not have good impedance matching and has severe echo. Therefore, in this paper, a monopole antenna was designed by using CPW power feed so that various impedances can be easily implemented when designing an antenna and more parameters can be derived that can be used for design for optimal performance.

In this paper, we investigate several important issues on the implementation of a totally implantable microsystem for brain-machine interface that has been attracting a lot of attention recently. So far most of the scientific research has been focused on the high performance, low power electronics or systems such as neural signal amplifiers and wireless signal transmitters, but the real application of the implantable microsystem is affected significantly by a number of factors, ranging from design of the encapsulation structure to physiological and anatomical characteristics of the brain. In this work, we discuss on the thermal effect of the system, the detecting volume of the neural probes, wireless data transmission and power delivery, and physiological and anatomical factors that are critically important for the actual implementation of a totally brain implantable neural interface microsystem.
