The radiation impedance of a magnetostatic surface wave excited in a microstrip line haying ferrite film and its dependence on the width of the microstrip line and the height of the ferrite film are calculated by the full-wave moment analysis. The radiation resistance calculated by the full-wave analysis closely agrees with the measured radiation resistance, while that by the magnetostatic approximation greatly differs from the measured result in the higher-frequency region.

In this paper, we present a microstrip-to-substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) transition and microstrip-to-hollow SIW(HSIW) transition for Ku-band satellite communication systems. For the complete utilization of the HSIW, a structure filled with air instead of a dielectric material, a microstrip-to-HSIW transition is designed, fabricated, and compared with a microstrip-to-SIW transition. A back-to-back microstrip-to-SIW transition is measured in the range 12~18 GHz; it exhibits a return loss ${\geq}20dB$ and an insertion loss of $1.5{\pm}0.2dB$. In contrast, a back-to-back microstrip-to-HSIW transition exhibits a return loss of at least 15 dB and an insertion loss of $0.55{\pm}0.2dB$ in the same frequency range.

Microstrip - slot line transitions are analyzed in the spectral domain. Some kinds of transitions which depend on the orientation angle between two lines and the stub types are designed and fabricated at 5GHz. It is shown that experiment results of the transition are in good agreement with those obtained from spectral domain analysis.

일반적으로 LPA에서는 위상을 조정하기 위해 매우 긴 지연선을 필요로 한다. 지연성능은 고전력이나 저전력 모두에서 임의의 길이의 동축선로를 여러번의 과정을 거쳐 적용해봄으로써 구현된다. 그러나 동축선로형 지연선은 부피나 높은 삽입손실 등의 제약이 많이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 형태의 지연선 대역통과 여파기를 설계하였고, 실험결과는 지연선여파기가 동축선로를 대신하여 LPA 시스템에 적용이 가능함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터파 대역에서 저손실 특성이 우수한 전송선로인 non-radiative dielectric(NRD) 도파로와 마이크로스트립 변이구조에 관해 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 이용된 변이구조는 apeture 결합을 이용한 것으로 NRD와 마이크로스트립 사이의 aperture 를 통하여 자계가 결합되는 원리이다. Aperture의 구조를 각각 직각사각형과 ridge 형태로 설계하였다. 비교를 위해서 설계된 마이크로스트립과 마이크로스트립 변이구조의 경우 aperture의 구조를 ridge 형태로 했을 때 직각사각형일 때 보다 삽입손실 특성이 개선되었고 더 넓은 대역폭를 가지는 것을 딸 수 있었다. NRD와 마이크로스트립 변이구조의 경우는 대역폭면에서 ridge 구조와 직각사각형 구조 모두 비슷한 특성을 보였다.

The propagation properties of various pulse signal types(square pulse, Gaussian pulse, trapezoid pulse, RF pulse) on coupled microstrip lines are investigated. Numerical integration technique which has its accuracy and is easily simulated, is used to obtain the time domain response of pulse signals. Frequency-dependent characteristics of coupled microstrip line is obtained using Jansen's approximate equation. The propagation properties of pulse signal on coupled microstrip lines is analyzed regarding to its geometric structure (relative permittivity ${varepsilon}_r$ substrate height h, strip width w of the microstrip line) and pulse width ${\tau}$ of signal pulse. The simulation results show that space between two lines is very significant parameter in pulse distortion in comparison of any other parameters. The results of this paper are compatible to the trade-off determination of relative permittivity, substrate height, strip width and pulse width of signal pulse when a design of MIC and MMIC is necessary.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the microstrip square open loop dual split ring resonator is presented for reducing the phase noise. The square-shaped dual split ring resonator having the form of the microstrip square open loop is investigated to reduce the phase noise. Compared with the microstrip square open loop resonator and the microstrip square open loop split ring resonator as well as the conventional microstrip line resonator, the microstrip square dual split ring resonator 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 supply has the phase noise of -123.2~-122.0 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, 11.74~11.75 GHz. The figure of merit (FOM) of this VCO is-214.8~-221.7 dBc/Hz dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the same tuning range. Compared with VCO using the conventional microstrip line resonator, VCO using microstrip square open loop resonator, the phase noise of VCO using the proposed resonator has been improved in 26 dB, 10 dB, respectively.

This study is concerned with a feeding method of microstrip patch antennas with different widths as feeding elements in order to obtain the appropriate radiation patterns of nonuniform array antennas. We analyze a microstrip patch antenna based on the transmission line model and derive that the ratio of current is equal to that of the input impedances of array antenna elements in case that the feed-line length between elements of array antenna is equal to the integer times of $\lambda_g$. We measure the radiation patterns of the nonuniform microstrip patch array antenna with 6 and 9 elements. The patterns measured are well agreed with the theoritically calculated patterns. Thus, this result can be utilized in the implementation of a feed network in nonuniform array antennas.

For high frequency microstrip line modelling, a fast inductance extraction technique using an adaptive PEEC(partial element equivalent circuit) grid is proposed. The grid refinement technique is based on the current distribution depend on the excitation frequencies and the geometry of the microstrip lines. The adaptive ids are refined mainly in the area where heavy currents reside. This technique is applied to the inductance extraction of the microstrip lines. The results show fast convergence, and this adaptive technique is efficient to reduce computing time and the number of grids.

In this paper, we report on the waveguide-to-microstrip transition with an inline structure for the millimeter band. The waveguide-to-microstrip transition comprises a probe, an inductive line, a ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer, and a 50-ohm microstrip line. For the transition design, we optimized the characteristic impedances and lengths of the component parts. The fabricated transition exhibits an insertion loss of 2.1 dB and an input/output return loss of below 13 dB at a millimeter band frequency of 94 GHz.
