In this paper, we are designed and fabricated circular polarization microstrip patch antenna of 5［GH］z bandwidth for the wireless LAN and the ISM. We are proposed new structure that removed the section which intersected at a right angle and were composed to four separated slots. The antenna of proposed structure could solve parasitic elements from intersected in a right angle and weak coupling efficiency from asymmetry between feed line and a slot. The proposed cross slots antenna is easily impedance matching and increased impedance bandwidth. Also this is increased efficiency and a bandwidth of antenna and reduce back lobe of radiation pattern. We designed 2${\times}$2 array antenna of 5［GHz］ band. It took impedance bandwidth 280［MHz］(VSWR < 1.5) and gam 12.5［dBi］

This paper proposes a robust speaker identification algorithm based on the wavelet filter banks and multiple decision-making scheme. Since the proposed speaker identification algorithm has a structure performing the identification algorithm independently for each subband, the noise effect of an subband can be localized. Through this process, we can obtain more robust results for the environmental noises which generally have band limited frequency. In the experiments, the proposed method showed more 15∼60% improvement than the vector quantization method for the various noisy environments.

Planar square-spiral antenna using a strip conductor is proposed and analyzed for RFID system in UHF band operating from 860MHz to 960MHz. By varying the length of common line, detached distance, strip line-space, strip line-width and the number of spiral turn, the optimized antenna are designed and fabricated in compact size without a matching-stub between the input port of the proposed antenna and RFID tag chip. From the optimized results, the frequency bandwidth in VSWR<2 has covered 100MHz in the RFID UHF band. The antenna gain has obtained 3.5dBi at the center frequency of 910MHz and the desired beam pattern has shown directional pattern on elevation and azimuth angle. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for practical RFID applications requiring various tag chips with the specific input impedance.

The C-band semi-lumped lowpass filter with broad stopband and compact size characteristic using chip inductor is proposed. To provide an additional attenuation pole in stopband by SRF, a separable inductor is added to proposed structure, and it has broad stopband characteristic.

A multi-band low noise amplifier (LNA) is designed in 90 nm RF CMOS process for 3GPP LTE (3rd Generation Partner Project Long Term Evolution) applications. The designed multi-band LNA covers the eight frequency bands between 1.85 and 2.8 GHz. A tunable input matching circuit is realized by adopting a switched capacitor array at the LNA input stage for providing optimum performances across the wide operating band. Current steering technique is adopted for the gain control in three steps. The performances of the LNA are verified through post-layout simulations (PLS). The LNA consumes 17 mA at 1.2 V supply voltage. It shows a power gain of 26 at the normal gain mode, and provides much lower gains of 0 and -6.7 in the bypass-I and -II modes, respectively. It achieves a noise figure of 1.78 dB and a IIP3 of -12.8 dBm over the entire band.

Herein, an ultrawideband spinning direction finding (DF) antenna was designed and fabricated for airborne applications. The proposed antenna is designed by dividing the low-band (UHF - L band) and high-band (S - Ka band) antennas to cover the ultrawideband frequency range (UHF - Ka band). For the high-band antenna, an LPDA antenna fed offset-parabolic-reflector antenna is applied. In the low-band antenna, two LPDA antenna elements are arrayed in front of the reflector of the high-band antenna without increasing to the full antenna size. The low- and high-band gains of the fabricated antenna were measured as 8.76 dBi and 24.55 dBi on average, respectively. The antenna was fabricated with the dimensions of 437 mm in diameter and 358 mm in height. Consequently, we confirmed that the designed antenna is appropriate for the spinning DF antenna in terms of the affordable size for installing on an airplane, as well as the high gain and narrow beamwidth.

In this paper, a diplexer circuit to separate GSM from CDMA band is designed using a LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) multi-layer technology. In order to increase a integration capability of the diplexer, it is designed using 3-dimensional (3-D) multi-layer compact inductor and capacitors in e-layer LTCC substrate with a relative dielectric constant of 7. In order to achieve high selectivity of the bands, a shunt capacitor and inductor are designed in the high-pass filter (HPF) and low-pass filter (LPF), respectively. The size of the fabricated diplexer including CPW pads is 3,450 ${\times}$4,000 ${\times}$694 ${\mu}m^3$An insertion loss (IL) and return loss in GSM band are less than -1.35dB and more than -5.66dB,respectively. In the case of CDMA band, the IL of -1.54dBandRLof above -9.30dBare archived.

The BPF designed by the formula based on strip line shows the center frequency shift and distortion in filter response and this becomes more significant with higher frequency. In this paper, the novel design based on EM simulation is proposed. In the design, the filter is decomposed into individual resonators and, for each resonator, the reactance slope and the inverter values are measured and tuned to desired design values for a inverter BPF prototype. The filter composed with such resonators shows the desired filter response without further tuning. This is because possible effects of discontinuities and dispersion are included in the filter parameter extraction. The method can generally apply to all filters that can be transformed into inverter BPF prototype. The procedure is verified by designing a 5th-order SIR filter and quite general to adapt into the design of a parallel coupled line filter, and hair-pin filter.

The diplexer is separated the output signals of harmonic generator, which is generated the harmonic signals using nonlinear device. The diplexer consists of the inphase power divider, 0o/90o phase controller and dual-band quadrature hybrid coupler. This send out the selecting output signals of the harmonic signals and suppresses out of signals. To validate a function of multiplier, the harmonic generator and diplexer with 2 GHz and 3 GHz operating frequency range is implemented. As a result, the proposed frequency multiplier is operated normally.

In this paper, sub-harmonic pumped(SHP) mixer using anti-parallel diode pair(APDP) is designed for 5 GHz band wireless communication system. Conventional mixers mix LO with RF, and obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. As the frequency increase, LO signal requires higher LO power, better phase noise characteristics, more stable La. However, using APDP, the SHP mixer mixes the 2nd harmonics of LO signal. Therefore, the SHP mixer has an advantage that the LO signal frequency required for IF signal is reduced at half value of LO fundamental frequency. When LO power is 3 dBm, the conversion loss of manufactured SHP mixer is 12.83 dB. The isolation of LO/IF, 2LO/IF, RF/1F and LO/RF is 39.17 dB, 58 dB, 34 dB, and 67.9 dB. respectively. For this case, IP3 at input is 8 dBm.
