A coupled microstrip-slot line is analyzed using a full wave method in the specral domain. The characteristics of the coupled microstrip-slot line are obtained based on the Galerkin`s method. The characteristics of even mode by microstrip line and odd mode by slot line are calculated respectively. Especially the singularity of basis function is enforced to be considered with respect of modes. Numerical results are compared with available data and shown good agreement.

본 논문에서는 기존 Wilkenson Power Divider의 소형화를 위해 마이크로스트립 선로에 DGS를 삽입하였다. 특성 임피던스 70.7$\Omega$의 $\lambda$/4 마이 크로스트림 선로를 50$\Omega$ 마이크로스트립 선로에 나선형 DGS를 삽입하여 70.7$\Omega$ 선로를 구현하였다. 이 나선형 DGS를 갖는 마이크로스트립 선로의 소형화를 확인하기 위해 각각 3dB Wilkenson Power Divider와 4way Power Divider를 제작하였다. 제작된 3dB Power Divider는 기존의 3dB Power Divider의 70.7$\Omega$ 전송선로의 길이가 31.95mm인 것에 반해 나선형 DGS를 갖는 50$\Omega$ 전송선로는 21.22mm로 약 10mm (약 $30\%$) 정도 길이가 줄었음을 알 수 있다. 또한 이 3dB Power Divider를 사용하여 4way Power Divider를 구현하였다. 이와 같이 마이크로스트립 선로에 DGS를 삽입함으로 인해 선로의 길이를 줄여 소형화 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the microstrip square open loop multiple split ring resonator (OLMSRR) is presented for reducing the phase noise property. The square-shaped multiple split ring resonator (MSRR) having the form of the microstrip square open loop is investigated to realize this property. Compared with the microstrip square open loop resonator and the microstrip square open loop split ring resonator (OLSRR) as well as the conventional microstrip line resonator, the microstrip square OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. The VCO with 1.7V power suppIy has the phase noise of $-124.5\;{\sim}\;-122.0\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.746\;{\sim}\;5.84\;GHz$. The figure of merit (FOM) of this VCO is $-203.96\;{\sim}\;-201.6\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the same tuning range. Compared with VCO using the conventional microstrip line resonator, VCO using the microstrip square open loop resonator and VCO using microstrip square OLSRR, the phase noise property of VCO using the proposed resonator has been improved in 25.66 dB, 8.34 dB, and 4.5 dB, respectively.

Directional couplers are widely used in RF and microwave applications to distribute or monitor signals. This paper presented a new structure of microstrip branch line directional coupler with coupled lines. The loose couplings of microstrip branch line directional couplers are impractical for the high characteristic impedance values required for the shunt branches. To overcome this limitation, the parallel coupled lines with the shorts were used for the high characteristic impedance. The results of the simulations and measurements were presented for the proposed branch line directional coupler. Measurement of the 10 dB branch line directional coupler shows that the return loss is higher than 30 dB over 10 % bandwidth and the isolation is 35 dB or better over 8 % bandwidth.

The main advantage of the TLM analysis method is the ease with which even the most complicated transmission line structures. In this paper, using symmetrical condensed node(SCN), the TLM numerical technique has been successfully a lied to microstrip meander line. A detailed technique of the symmetrical condensed node(SCN) may be used to model planar microstrip transmission line is presented. Also, the S-parameters $S_{11}$ and $S_{21}$ of two types of microstrip meander line have been computed. From obtained results, TLM analysis is shown to be an efficient method for modeling complicated structure of planar microstrip transmission line. The TLM results presented here are useful in the design of microwave integrated circuits at higher frequencies region.

This paper presents a compact power divider using microstrip-slotline transition technology. By using the microstrip-slotline transition, the ${\lambda}/4$ transmission lines of the divider can be changed to two ${\lambda}/8$ transmission lines in the multilayer structure. In the microstrip-slotline transition, we have used via holes to make a short circuit at the microstrip line and embedded spiral configuration stubs to reduce the electrical length of an open circuit at the slotline end point. For validating the microstrip-slotline technique, we have simulated and implemented the power divider with embedded spiral and via hole configuration circuits at a frequency of 2 GHz. Good agreement between the simulation and the measurement results is obtained at the operating frequency.

In this paper, a microstrip line implementation using via transition and its application of multilayer compact ring hybrid coupler are presented. This transition is the sandwich structure with via hole to connect two microstrip lines in different layer. For designing a compact RF/Microwave passive circuit, the microstrip line using via-hole transition is proposed to reduce a size of microwave circuit with long transmission line. For the validation of the microstrip line with via-hole transition, the multilayer ring hybrid coupler is implemented at center frequency of 2 GHz. The measured performances are in good agreement with simulation results and about 50% size reduction compare to conventional ring hybrid coupler.

Attenuation of conduction noise through microstrip line attached with the high lossy iron flakes-rubber composites has been investigated in GHz frequencies. Microstrip line was designed with characteristic impedance of 50 $\Omega$ and a length corresponding to the center frequency of 3 GHz. Iron flakes were fabricated by mechanical forging of spherical iron powders using an attrition mill. The fabricated microstrip line shows a ideal propagation characteristics of S$\sub$11/ < -60 dB and S$\sub$21/ = 0 dB. Attaching a noise absorbing sheet on the microstrip line, S$\sub$11/ increases to about -10 dB and S$\sub$21/ decreases to -20～-60 dB depending on the length of absorbing sheet. The calculated power loss is as high as 80% in the frequency range 2～8 GHz. It is suggested that the most critical material parameter is magnetic loss for the enhancement of noise attenuation.

We proposed a novel feed structure for a broadband circular slot antenna. The proposed antenna has a circular slot, a radiating element, and a novel microstrip feed structure which is composed of a 50 Ω microstrip feedline and a circular-shaped microstrip patch. This antenna is analyzed and optimized by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impedance bandwidth of optimized antenna is 1.94 octave that is much broader than the conventional microstrip slot antennas.

A microstrip circuit with multilayer structure is applied variously in the MMIC. For effective transmission between microstrip lines with different dielectric height, it is need to analyze and to induce accurately the equivalent circuit in 3 dimensional stepped discontinuous microstrip line.
