The sintering behavior, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Ca $Ti_{0.5}$F $e_{0.25}$N $b_{0.25}$ $O_3$ with CuO have been investigated. Among the range of additions, 3 wt％ CuO was observed to perform most satisfactory for acting as a sintering aid. The dielectric properties were found to strongly depend on the sintered densities. The dielectric constant increased with sintering temperatures, while the Q${\times}$ $f_{0}$ value affected by second phase. For Ca $Ti_{0.5}$F $e_{0.25}$N $b_{0.25}$ $O_3$ with 3 wt％ CuO sintered at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, the dielectric properties with an $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ value of 56, a Q${\times}$ $f_{0}$ value of 3,500 GHz and a $\tau$$_{f}$ value of 10 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were obtained and suggested for practical applications.cations.ons.ons.ons.

Hemisphere type Luneberg lens antenna with a reflector(frequency : 9.375 GHz, -3 dB beam width 6$^{\circ}$, diameter 30.3 cm(about 10 A), which is miniaturized and lightweightized by attaching a reflector on a section of half the Luneberg lens antenna, is designed and fabricated on the basis of Luneberg lens antenna from which easy beam pointing is acquired only by movement of 1st radiator. Measurement shows -3dB beamwidth is 6.1$^{\circ}$ in case of E-plane and 5.5$^{\circ}$ in case of H-plane. These are good agreements with expected value. Gain of this antenna is 26dBi(Aperture efficiency for uniform distribution : $\pi$ = 44.97%) which is greater than that of 1st radiator(Rectangular microstrip antenna) by 20.4 dB. And, after calculating the approximated pattern of the 1st radiator, far-field pattern, whose source is the second aperture source farmed from the approximated pattern of the 1st radiator is computed. Comparing this far-field pattern with the expected pattern, a (relatively) good agreement is observed. Circular polarization Luneberg lens antenna is also manufactured by making 1st radiator so that it has the characteristics of LHCP and RHCP radiation. The results are as followings : -3 dB beamwidth 5.8$^{\circ}$ , side lobe level -15.3 dB, isolation between LHCP and RHCP radiation 2543, axial ratio 2 dB bandwidth about 1.4 GHz(14.9%).

In this study, micro-scale, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors were investigated. The size of the RF chip inductors fabricated in this work was $1.0{\times}0.5{\times}0.5mm^3$ The material and shape of the core were 96% $Al_2O_3$ and I-type. The material and number of turn of coil were copper (Cu) and 6. The diameter ($40{\mu}m$) of coil and length (0.35mm) of solenoid were determined by a Maxwell three-dimensional field simulator to maximize the performance of the inductors. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L) and quality-factor (Q) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The inductors developed have inductances of 10.8nH and quality factors of 25.2 at 250MHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by CoilCraftTm that is one of the best chip inductor company in the world. The simulated data predicted the high-frequency data of the Land Q of the inductors developed well.

Multilayer transparent electromagnetic wave shielding film with 1 m wide, was fabricated by using roll to roll DC plasma coating with ITO and Ag layer on PET substrate. By optimizing properly the design parameters, such as a processing condition, the surface resistance and the thickness of each layers, the homogeneous film could be obtained. Electromagnetic wave shielding film showed the high shielding effectiveness of 23dB(99.5%) in 2-18 GHz range and the transmittance of 83.1% in 400-700nm.

The structural changes and the dielectric properties of $(Ba_{1-x}Ca_x)(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})O_3$ (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1) were investigated. The densities of samples were gradually decreased with increasing x, (BMT=7.69, CMT=5.25 $g/cm^3$). The crystal structure of BMT was a untiltied perovskite structure, however BCMT showed antiphase tilting and antiphase-inphase tilting structure. The dielectric constant($\varepsilon_r$) of the highest value was 33 at x=0.2 (BMT=24, CMT=17). The maximum quality factor was 27,500GHz in BMT. The quality factor· of BCMT was decreased to x<0.2 (5,000GHz), and was gradually increased to x>0.2. The temperature coefficients of dielectric constant was positive at x<0.8, and negative in CMT.

PLL(Phase Locked Loop) are widely used circuit technique in modern electronic systems. In this paper, We propose the low voltage and high speed PLL. We design the PFD(Phase Frequency Detector) by using TSPC (True Single Phase Clock) circuit to improve the performance and solve the dead-zone problem. We use CP(Charge Pump} and LP(Loop filter) for Negative feedback and current reusing in order to solve current mismatch and switch mismatch problem. The VCO(Voltage controlled Oscillator) with 5-stage differential ring oscillator is used to exact output frequency. The divider is implemented by using D-type flip flops asynchronous dividing. The frequency divider has a constant division ratio 32. The frequency range of VCO has from 200MHz to 1.1GHz and have 1.7GHz/v of voltage gain. The proposed PLL is designed by using 0.18um CMOS processor with 1.8V supply voltage. Oscillator's input frequency is 25MHz, VCO output frequency is 800MHz and lock time is 5us. It is evaluated by using cadence spectra RF tools.

In this paper, the field solver based deembedding technique for the on-chip inductors to deembed the pad and surrounding ground effect was described, and the results from field solver based deembedding techniques and measurement based matrix calculation method were compared. In addition, LNA circuit is designed by using deembedded inductors and fabricated by using standard $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process, in the range over the 2.5GHz it shows the good agreements between measurement and simulation results when the proper deembedding was adapted. Supposed deembedding techniques can be used to get the pure on-chip devices's values and adapted to design accurate RFIC circuit design.

In this paper, a 18 GHz oscillator is designed with the push-push method an fabricated by semi-MMIC process, in which the second harmonic is the main output signal with the suppressed fundamental mode. In semi-MMIC process, passive components with microstrip transmission line are implemented using MMIC process on semi-insulating GaAs substrate. Then, chip types of P-HEMT, resistors, and capacitors are connected through Au wire-bonding. Also, the ground plane is inserted around the circuit and connected each other with the back-side of substrate through Au wire-bonding instead of via-hole. The semi-MMIC push-push oscillator shows the output powder of -10.5 dBm, the fundamental frequency suppression of -17.3 dBc/Hz, and the phase noise of -97.9 dBc/Hz at the offset frequency of 100 kHz.
