The electromagnetic scattering characteristics by a periodic strip grating on a grounded dielectric slab for TM polarization case are examined from the viewpoints of both the reflection grating and the leaky wave antenna problems. Numerical results far two kinds of Bragg blazing (resonance type and non-resonance type) phenomena are given and some discussions on the properties(complex propagation constants, scattering characteristics, and distributions of strip current density) are presented. The comparison of the Bragg blazing phenomena between TM and TE polarization cases are also given in detail.

In this work, we studied basic characteristics of transmission lines employing various PSS (periodic strip structure) on silicon substrate for application to a miniaturization of RF components. According to the results, the transmission lines employing various PSS showed wavelength shorter than conventional coplanar waveguide due to their strong wave characteristics. Especially, with-contact structure was most effective for a miniaturization of RF component. Concretely, the size of the transmission line employing with-contact was only 4.39 % of the conventional coplanar waveguide, According to the bandwidth extraction result, the bandwidth of the transmission lines employing various PSS structures were wider than 384 GHz. Above results indicate that the transmission lines employing various PSS can be effectively used for application to a broadband and miniature RF component, and especially, with-contact is most effective for a miniaturization of RF components.

In order to realize miniaturized and low-impedance MMIC passive component, a novel microstripline structure employing periodically perforated ground metal was proposed. The novel microstripline structure showed much lower impedance, and shorter guided-wavelength than conventional one. Using the novel microstripline with periodically perforated ground metal, a miniaturized 15 $\Omega$ ratrace was fabricated. The line width of the ratrace was 20 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and the size of it was 0.375 mm$^2$, which is 9.3 % of conventional one. The ratrace exhibited good RF performances from 20 to 30 GHz.

In this paper, an EBG(Electromagnetic BandGap) resonator antenna with a stripline type FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) superstrate for PCS-band base station antennas is proposed. The characteristics of resonant frequency and -3dB bandwidth of a unit cell of a superstrate are first analyzed by varing several design parameters such as a strip width and a unit cell width in order to design an EBG resonator antenna satisfying the required antenna gain and bandwidth for PCS-band base station antennas. Among various unit cell shapes, strip dipole and stripline are considered and their characteristics are compared. It was found that a resonant length of the EBG resonator antenna becomes smaller when the stripline shape is used and the control of the bandwidth is also much easier. By using the unit cell simulation results, planar and cylindrical EBG resonator antennas at PCS-band are designed.

The distributing current is calculated on the infinit plane mattaric grattings for the TM waves. The matrix is larger, when the moment method is applied this structure. So, the moment method of this case is required large memory and long CPU times. Those boundary condition and the scattering formura are transformed into spectal domain. Taking account of the peridic structure, this formular is changed in a series form by using the Flouquet mode. By making a suitable basis function, this equation is expreseed matrix form. So the distributing current on the mattaric strip is able to caculate by using this equation. We calculate magnitude of the distributing current for varing these spaces, widthes and an angle of incident waves.

In this paper, a microstrip surface wave antenna(SWA) with a frequency selective surface structure(FSS) is designed and measured. A microstrip SWA has many advantages such as low profile, low weight, easy fabrication, and compatibility with monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC). In addition, it has demonstrated monopole like beam patterns. The microstrip SWA consists of two parts : a center-fed modified microstrip patch to excite surface wave, and a periodic patches to support the propagation of the surface waves. To obtain wide bandwidth, the ring type parasitic element is inserted and the circular patch is selected for the unit element in FSS structure. Experimental results show that the microstrip SWA has monopole like beam patterns at 5.9GHz. Impedance bandwidth and gain is 12% and 5.6dBi.

This article presents a band-stop filter (BSF) by using a periodic structure property of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) embedded in a microstrip transmission line. The proposed BSF is designed with FSS unit cells modifying the cross-loop slots. The BSF is interpreted with an equivalent circuit model and a dispersion diagram. The center frequency (fo) of the BSF is 6.6GHz. Proposed filter increases the number of unit cell. As a result, 3dB bandwidth is wider and insertion loss is reduced. Also, Facbricated BSF exhibits uniplanar geometry, simple fabrication.

It is difficult to design accurately the bandgap of metamaterial depending on metamaterial pattern and array configuration. In this paper, we propose a design method for the wanted bandgap frequency using any metamaterial pattern in 2 dimensional array. Metamaterial structure is consisted of periodic array. Therefore the calculation area in FDTD(finite difference time domain) method can be reduced by applying the periodic boundary condition to 2-D metamaterial array. The method for design and calculation the L and C values by using 2-D is also considered. So it can be designed more accurately and rapidly. For example, we designed metamaterial square pattern array in 5 GHz, and compared with the 1-D metamaterial pattern using analysis method in microstrip line. As a result, we found that the accuracy of this proposed method can be incresed to 14.7%.

In this paper, we studies on the RF characteristics of the transmission line employing IPACD (inverted periodically arrayed capacitive devices) on MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) for application to wireless communication system. According to measured results, the novel transmission line employing IPACD showed a wavelength much shorter than conventional transmission lines. In addition, the IPACD structure showed an effective permittivity much higher than conventional ones. We also extracted the bandwidth characteristic of the IPACD structure using equivalent circuit analysis. According to the results, the cut-off frequency of the proposed structure was 129.2 GHz.

This paper suggested a theoretical approach and an implementation for the design of an unequal Wilkinson power divider with a high dividing ratio operating at two-frequencies. The T-section transmission lines and the two-section of Monzon's theory are proposed to operate a dual-band application. To achieve the high dividing ratio divider, the high impedance line using a T-shaped structure and low impedance lines with periodic shunt open stubs are implemented. For the validation of this divider, a dual-band power divider with a high dividing ratio of 5 is simulated and measured at 1 GHz and 2 GHz. The measured performances of the divider are in good agreements with simulation results.
