In this paper, we applied the CMRC to a resonator to improve the harmonic characteristic of VCO. The CMRC filters have some advantage. It is a small size as well as easy to manufacture than PBG, DGS and other filters. This paper was proposed by using CMRC for a VCO. The second harmonic of -42.83 dBc and the phase noise at 100 kHz offset of -95.83 dBc/Hz was achieved, respectively. The VCO has better second harmonic character by 15.73 dB and phase noise by 31.13 dB in case of CMRC applied behind a resonator than CMRC used as a resonator.

This paper presents the characteristics of electromagnetic field uniformity in a reverberation chamber with flat diffusers composed of multiple dielectric materials that can be used as an alternative facility for the analysis, test and evaluation of electromagnetic interference and immunity. The field characteristics and the size of the test volume inside the reverberation chamber with the new diffuser of multiple dielectric materials are simulated and analyzed at $2.5{\sim}3$ GHz band. The FDTD method is used to analyze the field characteristics. The field uniformity, polarization characteristics and tolerance are improved by the new diffuser with smaller physical size. The reverberation chamber with flat diffusers composed of multiple dielectric materials shows better electromagnetic performance and larger test volume than normal chamber.

A design of cascaded distributed amplifier with a broadband amplification is described in this paper. A medium power device with 23dBm, max output power under the optimal narrow-band power matching condition is adopted for the design and fabrication of the cascaded distributed amplifier. In general, conventional distributed amplifiers with the parallel connected input ports have a low gain, and previous cascaded distributed amplifiers show a relatively low output power of 10dBm at most, which is the upper limit of small signal amplification. However, the cascaded distributed amplifier in this paper shows the gain of $18.15{\pm}0.75dB$ and output power of 20dBm over $300MHz{\sim}2GHz$ from the measurement, so it can be well adopted as a wideband driver amplifier.

In this paper, We investigated the effects of mesh structure variations of meshed ground on MCAA(Microstrip Comb Array Antenna). First, we designed MCAA in 24GHz ISM band and we investigated the variations of the gain and the SLL(Side Lobe Level) of the MCAA as we varied the mesh structure of the meshed ground. We varied two variables, mesh size and unfilled rato, which is defined as no metal area ratio in mesh for the investigation. We investigated two types of MCAA. Those are flat MCAA composed of flat radiator and tapered MCAA composed of tapered radiator. Both the antenna gains of flat MCAA and tapered MCAA are decreased as the unfilled rato increased. However, increase of mesh size made more dramatic decrease in antenna gain than increase of unfilled rato. The antenna SLL showed similar trend. But tapered MCAA affected more severely by variation of mesh size than flat MCAA.

A low phase noise CMOS voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) for multi-band/multi-standard RF Transceivers is presented. For both wide tunability and low phase noise characteristics, Hybrid inductor which uses both bondwire inductor and planar spiral inductor in the same area, is proposed. This approach reduces inductance variation and presents high quality factor without custom-designed single-turn inductor occupying large area, which improves phase noise and tuning range characteristics without additional area loss. An LC VCO is designed in a 0.13um CMOS technology to demonstrate the hybrid inductor concept. The measured phase noise is -121dBc/Hz at 400KHz offset and -142dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset from a 900MHz carrier frequency after divider. The tuning range of about 28%(3.15 to 4.18GHz) is measured. The VCO consumes 7.5mA from 1.3V supply and meets the requirements for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA standard.

We present the design of an EMI filter to mitigate the electrical noise from the power supply over a broadband of a few tens of KHz to 18GHz. Admitting that our approach is not apart from the standard technology of EMI filter, it is worth checking out how we can implement the filter that meets the challenging spec. on band of operation. The function of the EMI filter is well-depicted by its performance on the CE(Conducted Emission) and RE(Radiated Emission) suppression through tests which convince us of its application to power supplies of land, water and flying vehicles.

본 논문에서는 Ka-밴드 위성통신 송신주파수대역(30.085∼30.885 GHz)의 대역통과 필터를 유도성 fin-line 구조를 이용하여 분석, 설계 및 제작하였다. 도파관내의 공진기들이 전계면에 수직한 금속 fin으로 구성된 구조를 해석하는데 가장 적합한 모드정합법을 사용하여 설계하였다. 제작된 필터는 마이크로파대역 뿐만 아니라 밀리미터파대역의 주파수에서도 우수한 필터특성을 갖는다는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 상업용 도파관을 사용하는 대신에 가격이 저렴하고 가공이 용이한 알루미늄을 사용함으로써 대량생산이 가능하다. 또한 도파관내 금속삽입형태에 의한 대역 통과 필터의 구현이 아닌 유한한 두께를 갖는 포토-에칭된 유전체 기판을 삽입함으로써 제작성의 어려움을 해결하였다. 설계, 제작된 필터의 측정결과 통과대역내에서 1.6dBal만의 삽입손실과 18dB이상의 반사손실을 갖는 응답특성을 얻었으며 이론에 의한 계산치와 측정치와의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 설계방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

This paper has been studied analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports with exponential taper are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized which gives less amplitude ripple at array ports. The measured results of 12 input and 12 output lens show $\pm$1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6~18GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$ over $\pm$53$^{\circ}$ angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

Starting with Kubo's formula and using the projection operator technique introduced by Kawabata, EPR lineprofile function for a $Mn^{2+}$-doped wurtzite structure GaN semiconductor was derived as a function of temperature at a frequency of 9.49 GHz (X-band) in the presence of external electromagnetic field. The line-width is barely affected in the low-temperature region because there is no correlation between the resonance fields and the distribution function. At higher temperature the line-width increases with increasing temperature due to the interaction of electrons with acoustic phonons. Thus, the present technique is considered to be more convenient to explain the resonant system as in the case of other optical transition systems.

An active balun using current steering for phase correction is presented. The proposed active balun is constructed with two different unit balun structures based on current steering to reduce phase and amplitude errors. This type of topology can be compared with the conventional phase and amplitude correction techniques which do not incorporate the current steering. Designed and fabricated active balun in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process operates over 0.95 - 1.45 GHz band, showing input reflection coefficient under -15 dB, phase error of $11^{\circ}$ and gain error of 0.5 dB. Gain is measured to be 0.3 dB maximum and power consumption of 7.2 mW is measured.
