This paper describes a fully integrated CMOS low-IF mobile-TV RF tuner for Band-III T-DMB/DAB applications. All functional blocks such as low noise amplifier, mixers, variable gain amplifiers, channel filter, phase locked loop, voltage controlled oscillator and PLL loop filter are integrated. The gain of LNA can be controlled from -10 dB to +15 dB with 4-step resolutions. This provides a high signal-to-noise ratio and high linearity performance at a certain power level of RF input because LNA has a small gain variance. For further improving the linearity and noise performance we have proposed the RF VGA exploiting Schmoock's technique and the mixer with current bleeding, which injects directly the charges to the transconductance stage. The chip is fabricated in a 0.18 um mixed signal CMOS process. The measured gain range of the receiver is -25~+88 dB, the overall noise figure(NF) is 4.02~5.13 dB over the whole T-DMB band of 174~240 MHz, and the measured IIP3 is +2.3 dBm at low gain mode. The tuner rejects the image signal over maximum 63.4 dB. The power consumption is 54 mW at 1.8 V supply voltage. The chip area is $3.0{\times}2.5mm^2$.

The interaction between the cationic dye, thionin(Th) and the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated by absorption spectra. As the temperature of surfactant solution was increased in premicellar range(S/D=10, 80, and 160) which was much lower than the critical micelle concentration(CMC), the increment or decrement of the molar extinction coeffecient ratio appeared. It was found that the most stable temperature range of the oligomer aggregate in Th-SDS system at S/D=160 was below $60^{\circ}C$. With increasing the concentration of inorganic salt and organic solvents in Th-SDS system, ${\alpha}$-band was increased, but ${\gamma}$=band or J-band was decreased. The orders of ${\alpha}$-band increasing power were $Cl^-$>$ClO{_4}{^-}$>$SO{_4}{^{2-}}$>$NO{_3}{^-}$ and 2-propanol>ethanol>methanol>ethylene glycol.

A novel lowpass filter with a very sharp transition band and wide stopband is proposed. The proposed filter is based on T-shaped patches which are etched in symmetrical structures and folded open stub. To obtain a wide stopband, we have used stub loaded semi-circle stepped-impedance structures. By designing the resonator with high inductance and capacitance, a very sharp transition band is achieved. The proposed filter has a 3-dB cutoff frequency at 2.37 GHz and a 40-dB rejection at 2.44 GHz. The stopband with an attenuation level better than -13.2 dB is up from 2.4 GHz to 16 GHz, and consequently we have reached the high and wide rejection in stopband with compact size. Good agreements between the simulated and the measured results are presented.

This paper presents a dual-wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with high band-to-band isolation and skirt selectivity using distributed composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) quad-mode resonators (QMRs). The results of the proposed distributed CRLH TL unit cell analysis are used to establish the scattering parameters and the resonance frequencies of the QMR constituting the dual-wideband BPF. A novel dual-wideband bandpass filter is designed and fabricated, using the derived scattering characteristics. The measured results show that the fabricated dual-wideband bandpass filter has an insertion loss of less than 1.08dB in the lower band, and of 2.01dB in the upper band, a bandwidth of 2.8-5.52GHz and 9.68-12.26GHz, and a band-to-band isolation of more than 38dB, from 6.34-8.42GHz.

This paper proposes a uni-planar elliptical element UWB antenna with band-notched characteristic and modified pound plane fed by CPW. The antenna achieves VSWR below 2 for UWB band(3.1 GHz${\~}$10.6 GHz). In addition, a band-notched characteristic is achieved by inserting a horizontal slot on the radiation element to avoid the interference with 5 GHz(5.15 GHz${\~}$5.825 GHz) band limited by IEEE 802.1la. The antenna has a thin profile, compact size, and ease of manufacture by adopting a CPW feed structure without any additional background plane. Measured data show that the proposed antenna has good return loss below -10 dB, about 2.1 dB${\~}$4.75 dB maximum gain over the bandwidth, omni-directional radiation patterns, linear phase response.

This paper presents the design approach and test results of the Q-band precision subminiature coaxial adaptor based on transmission line theory using multi-step impedance and air-holes to increase its cutoff frequency. In order to increase the frequency performance, the adaptor is designed with hooked structure, fixing step, multi-air-holes, and outer conductor. The return loss increments due to the hooked structure and multi air-holes are minimized to 2 dB and 1.5 dB, respectively. A VSWR(Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of <1.2 is obtained from DC to 40 GHz, while guaranteeing the durability of the adaptor from room-temperature$(25^{\circ}C)$ to $120^{\circ}C$.
