This paper proposes a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) amplifier using lumped-element transition. The input and output impedances of this amplifier are matched by the lumped-element transition structure. This structure provides compact impedance and mode matching circuits between the HMSIW and a stand-alone amplifier. Surface mount technology inductors and capacitors are implemented to realize the lumped-element transition. A prototype of the proposed HMSIW amplifier shows 15 dB gain with 3 dB bandwidth of 4 to 7.05 GHz in a simulation and measurement.

This paper describes a design of a multi-bit oversampling noise-shaping D/A converter which achieves a resolution of 12 bits using oversampling technique. In the architecture the essential block which determines the whole accuracy is the analog internal D/A converter, and the designed charge-integration internal D/A converter adopts a differential structure in order to minimize the reduction of the resolution due to process variation. As the proposed circuit is driven by signal clocks which contains the information of the data variation from the noise-shaping coder, it minimizes the disadvantage of a charge-integration circuit in the time axis. In order to verify the circuit, it was integrated with the active area of 950$\times$650${\mu}m^{2}$ in a double metal 1.5-$\mu$m CMOS process, and testified that it can achieve a S/N ratio of 75 dB and a S/(N+D) ratio of 60 dB for the signal bandwidth of 9.6 kHz by the measurement with a spectrum analyzer.

Recently, polymethyl methacrylate based plastic optical fibers (POFs) have attracted considerable attention as a potential medium for local area network (LAN) and home network applications. Since the POFs have very low optical loss at around 650mm, in particular, it becomes quite important to develop GHz transmitters operating at this wavelength for high bit rate optical transmission applications of the POFs. In this paper, we present generation of ${\geq}1.5 Gbps$ pseudo-random binary sequence optical signals by using a gain switched InGaA1P Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser with a high frequency filter, operating at 650mm, and the application of these signals to bandwidth measurement of POFs.

We present cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) measurements of supercontinuum pulses generated by using a photonic crystal fiber (PCF), and ultraviolet (UV) pulses generated by frequency doubling of infrared ultra-short pulses. Since supercontinuum pulses have broad spectra, XFROG measurement typically requires using an extremely thin nonlinear crystal which has a thickness of sub-ten microns. Instead of using such a thin crystal, we employed a relatively thick crystal which was mounted on a galvanometer in order to achieve a phase-matching over the whole spectral bandwidth of the supercontinuum pulses by a crystal-dithering technique. Experimental results of the retrieved phase and intensity were in fair agreement with the independently measured data.

Using a sub-terahertz (sub-THz) wave generated using a photonics-based technology, a high-speed wireless link operating at up to 10 Gbps is designed and demonstrated for realization of seamless connectivity between wireless and wired networks. The sub-THz region is focused upon because of the possibility to obtain sufficient bandwidth without interference with the allocated RF bands. To verify the high-speed wireless link, such dynamic characteristics as the eye diagrams and bit error rate (BER) are measured at up to 10 Gbps for non-return-to-zero pseudorandom binary sequence $2^{31}-1$ data. From the measurement results, a receiver sensitivity of -23.5 dBm at $BER=10^{-12}$ is observed without any error corrections when the link distance between the transmitter and receiver is 3 m. Consequently, we hope that our design and experiment results will be helpful in implementing a high-speed wireless link using a sub-THz wave.

In this paper, We designed a 2-stage amplifier for transponder of satellite with dual GaAs FETs NE13783, and performed the worst-case analysis for circuit qualification in the space environment. The bandwidth of amplifier was chosen 11.7-12.2 GHz which is the down link frequency band for domestic Ku-band satellite communication, and the alumina substrate with 25 mil of thickness. The design and optimization of amplifier was achieved by the commercial CAD program TOUCHSTONE and the measurement was performed through the automatic network analyzer.

Background: We are developing L-band and S-band microwave dielectric absorption systems aiming novel dosimetry using DNAs, such as plasmid DNA and genomic DNA, and microwave technology. Materials and Methods: Each system is composed of a cavity resonator, analog signal generator, circulator, power meter, and oscilloscope. Since the cavity resonator is sensitive to temperature change, we have made great efforts to prevent the fluctuation of temperature. We have developed software for controlling and measurement. Results and Discussion: By using this system, we can measure the resonance frequency, f, and ${\Delta}Q$ (Q is a dimensionless parameter that describes how under-damped an oscillator or resonator is, and characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its center frequency) within about 3 minutes with high accuracy. Conclusion: This system will be expected to be applicable to DNAs evaluations and to novel dosimetric system.

In this paper, RCS characteristics on defect pattern of crossed dipole slot FSS having a finite size have been analyzed. To analyze RCS, we applied the electric field integral equation analysis which applies BiCGSTab algorithm with iterative method and uses RWG basis function. To verify the validity of this paper, RCS of PEC sphere has been compared to the theoretical results and FSSs with defect patterns are fabricated and measured. As defect patterns in FSS, missing one column, missing some elements, and discontinuity in surfaces are simulated and compared with the measurement results. Resonant frequency shifts in pass band and changes in bandwidth are observed. From the results, precisely predicting and designing frequency characteristics over defect patterns are essential when applying FSS structures such as FSS radomes.

This paper deals with the device for measuring the time-varying magnetic fields and induced voltages caused by lightning discharges. The two magnetic field measuring systems were designed and made. One consists of the loop-type magnetic field sensor with the active integrator operated by a differential amplifier. The other consists of the loop-type magnetic field sensor and Labview software. The loop-type magnetic field sensor detects the time derivative of the magnetic field being measured, and the signal detected is integrated by the Labview software. As a consequence, from the calibration experiments, the frequency bandwidth of the full measuring system ranges from 400 [Hz] to 1 (MHz) and the response sensitivity are 0.98 (mV/nT) and 22 (mV/nT) for the magnetic field sensor of 2 turns and 6 turns, respectively. Also, the results obtained by the two measuring devices well agreed with each other.
