In this paper, we designed a loading sleeve monopole operating at PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands using the structure of the broadband loading sleeve monopole. The length of the designed antenna is lower than that of the helical antenna coupled with a whip used in commercial PCS handsets. The length and diameter of the designed antenna are 38 mm and 8 mm, respectively. The designed loading sleeve monopole is fabricated and investigated experimently. The VSWR is less than 1.5 in the PCS and IMT-2000 frequency bands(1750 MHz~2170 MHz) and gain is 3.5 dBi.

In this paper, lumped-element isolator is analyzed and designed using the scattering matrix approach. Using the designed parameters, compact isolator with 7.0x7.0x2.3 mm$^3$ dimensions is fabricated and tested in 1.765GHz PCS phone band. Implemented isolator shows 29.95dB isolation characteristic at center frequency and has 0.35dB insertion loss in overall 30MHz operating bandwidth. Return losses of input and output port are measured below -19 dB. Experimental results show that the implemented isolator has better performances than the conventional one.

In this paper, we proposed an fiber-optic transceivers based on the analog optical transmission techniques of incorporating the SCM (subcarrier multiplexing) and WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing ) method, which can be used to transmission of IMT-2000 and PCS wireless frequency band and analyzed overall those parameters related with fabrication. Especially in the impedance matching network between RF signal and LD, we proposed the method of deriving optimal performance using simulation techniques. In the frequency band of 1.7GHz∼2.25GHz, experimental data for the gain flatness and the noise floor of the optical link were also presented $\pm$1.5dB and -130dBm respectively when the link Rain was 0dB.

This paper proposes a new type of PIFA with a capacitor structure inserted into the feeding loop. It operates in GSM900, DCS, PCS, and W-CDMA frequency bands. By inserting the capacitor, it shows the effect of lowering the return loss from -2.73 dB to -6.26 dB at the parallel frequency, 2.01 GHz. The improvement of the poor radiation property near the parallel resonance frequency leads to a broadband operation in the upper band, DCS, PCS, and W-CDMA.

This paper describes RF front-end transceiver chipset for the dual-mode operation of PCS-Korea and IMT-2000. The transceiver chipset has been implemented in a $0.25\mutextrm{m}$ single-poly five-metal CMOS technology. The receiver IC consists of a LNA and a down-mixer, and the transmitter IC integrates an up-mixer. Measurements show that the transceiver chipset covers the wide RF range from 1.8GHz for PCS-Korea to 2.1GHz for IMT-2000. The LNA has 2.8~3.1dB NF, 14~13dB gain and 5~4dBm IIP3. The down mixer has 15.5~16.0dB NF, 15~13dB power conversion gain and 2~0dBm IIP3. The up mixer has 0~2dB power conversion gain and 6~3dBm OIP3. With a single 3.0V power supply, the LNA, down-mixer, and up-mixer consume 6mA, 30mA, and 25mA, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a dual-spiral line loaded monopole antenna having a vertical ground plane for quadband applications. The antenna occupies a volume of $38{\times}12{\times}7\;mm^3$ with a $40{\times}92\;mm^2$ ground plane. The measured impedance bandwidths of the antenna based on $VSWR{\le}2$ are approximately of 11.7 % and 24.8 % in the first and second frequency band, respectively. The operating frequency can simultaneously cover Cellular($0.824{\sim}0.894\;GHz$), PCS($1.750{\sim}1.870\;MHz$), UMTS($1.920{\sim}2.170\;MHz$), and IMT-2000($1.885{\sim}2.200\;GHz$) bands. The maximum gains of the antenna are -0.99 dBi, 4.07 dBi, 2.72 dBi, and 4.33 dBi at the center frequencies of the Cellular, PCS, UMTS, and IMT-2000 bands, respectively. Good radiation patterns are experimentally obtained.

In this paper, the small PIFA with dual bandwidth using LTCC is the proposed. The proposed PIFA is designed and fabricated for dual resonance bands (K-PCS and WiBro). It consists of two layers. The bottom layer shape PIFA has 120MHz bandwidth (1.727 ~ 1.847 GHz), it satisfied K-PCS. The top layer shape stacked element has 110MHz bandwidth (2.302 ~ 2.412 GHz), it satisfied WiBro. The top layer is stacked on the bottom layer for electric coupling. Maximum radiation gain of K-PCS, WiBro bands are 2.11 dBi, 3.71 dBi respectively. For miniaturization of the antenna structure, the PIFA using LTCC ( ${\varepsilon}_r\;=\;8$ ) chip is fabricated. The proposed PIFA shows the effect of SAR reduction also. A defect that is fabricated by stacking up the layers in the design of PIFA is complemented by fabricated in using LTCC chip.

In this paper, a quad-band antenna for GSM/GPS/DCS/US-PCS handsets is proposed. The proposed antenna is low-profile for mounting in limited inner space of a handset. It consists of three open points with quarter wave length for multi-band operation. The ground plane below the patch is removed for wide-bandwidth without the variation of antenna size and the slot is added at the center of the patch for convenient matching in high frequency band. It provides a enough bandwidth within VSWR 3:1 at all bands. In addition, the measured peak gains are between -2.19 and 2.09 in anechoic chamber (10m$\times$6m$\times$4m).
