This paper presents the pure capacitive lumped element equivalent circuits for several coplanar waveguide(CPW) discontinuities such as an open-end, an open-end with connected ground planes, a gap and an open-end CPW stub and gives their capacitive element values as a function of physical dimensions of the discontinuity and the frequency for a specific substrate. The capacitive element values are determined from the scattering parameters which are obtained using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method. For an open-end, an open-end with connected ground planes and a gap, the numerical results of the FDTD are compared with the quasi-static results which are calculated using the three- dimensional finite difference method(3D-FDM).

In this paper, a VCDRO(Voltage Control Dielectirc Resonator Oscillator) for signal source of doppler radar system is designed and fabricated. The proposed VCDRO is made with new tuning mechanism using CPW line. The coplanar waveguide of $\lambda_{g}$/2 in length with varactor diode is placed on the metallization side under the dielectric resonator and coupled to it. Tuning varactor diode is mounted at one end of the CPW. The proposed circuit tuned by a CPW allows one more varactor diode to be mounted on the optimized CPW, where a greater sensitivity of frequency tuning is needed. With varying the biasing voltage for the varactor diode from 0 V to 15 V, output frequency tuning of 12 MHz is obtained. The PLDRO exhibits output power of 16.5 dBm with phase noise in the phase locked state characteristic of -115 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, -105 dBc/Hz at the 10 kHz, and -102 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz offset from 10.525 GHz , respectively.

In this paper, a novel sized-reduced CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) balun is proposed. It has a crossing structure between signal line and ground planes of CPW transmission line for the $180^{\circ}$ phase inversion. The$3{\lambda}/4$ CPW transmission line is reduced to ${\lambda}/4$ in physical length while the electrical length is preserved to $270^{\circ}$ by the $180^{\circ}$ phase inverting structure, while the previous balun by Lim et at. has a long $3{\lambda}/4$ transmission section to from the Wilkinson divider structure having out of phase between output ports. In addition, the measured data which show the crossing structure has the wanted $180^{\circ}$ phase change is presented in this work.

In this paper, a step type driver dipole antenna with a tapered balance and unbalance (balun) by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to coplanar strip (CPS) transition is proposed. The proposed antenna consisted of step type driver, a CPW to CPS transition and tapered balun. The proposed antenna is realized the multi and wide resonate frequency band to introduce the step type driver and tapered balun. The step type driver is acted as a director too. This antenna could be more easily designed than the conventional printed quasi-Yagi dipole antenna. The operating frequency bandwidth was 650 [MHz] (2.65~3.3 GHz), 900 [MHz] (4.7~5.6 GHz) under a return-loss criterion of less than 10 dB. The measurements of the proposed antenna exhibited good results in the wideband operating frequency and radiation pattern. The proposed antenna can support wireless communications applications.

A new Complex Image Method based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to calculate the Green's functions of CPW (coplanar waveguide)-type microwave components and antennas. The closed-forms of the spectral-domain integrals are obtained by the GA, avoiding the conventional procedures of the tedious linear algebra and the sampling conditions sensitive to the complex-variable sampling paths adopted in the Prony's and GPOF methods. The proposed method is compared with the numerical Sommerfeld Integral, which results in good agreement.

This study investigated a new tuneable bandpass filter based on coplanar waveguide coupled line structure, and using the varactor diode for tuning the center frequency of the filter. The filter was designed by a commercial simulator and had a tuning range of 180[MHz] from 0.95[GHz] to 1.13[GHz]. The filter acceptable values regarding the insertion loss was less than 3[dB] and its return loss greater than 12[dB]. The figure of merit of the implemented tuneable filter increased with the reverse bias voltage up to 14[V] on the varactor diode. The proposed filter has a promising future as it can be used in integration processes and in various materials as substrate.

In this paper, internal antennas for IMT-2000 handset(1.92∼2.17 GHz) were designed to be capable of being mounted on the circuit-board with a CPW(coplanar waveguide) feeding structure. The chip antennas were miniaturized to a greater extent by fabricating multilayer high dielectric ceramic($\varepsilon$$\sub$r/=7.8) hexahedron. The proposed antennas has λ/4 monopole element with helical structure in the multilayer dielectric ceramic hexahedron. The simulated and measured results were invesgated with width, length, and thickness of helical structure in the hexahedron.

Ti:LiNbO$_3$ 광 도파로를 이용한 광 변조기의 마이크로파 손실을 감소시키고 RF와 광파의 속도정합의 조건하에서 초고속 광변조의 제작을 위해서는 두꺼운 TW(travelling wave) 전극이 필수적이다 또한, 두꺼운 Au 전극이 우수한 RF 특성을 갖기 위해서는 도금된 Au 전극이 고순도의 작은 grain size를 갖는 도금 층을 제조하여야 하며, 도금 후 Au 층의 뒤틀림 현상이 작아야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LiNbO$_3$ 기판 위에 30nm Ni-Cr과 50nm의 Au의 기저 막을 올렸으며 감광제를 이용한 photo-lithography 공정으로 CPW(coplanar waveguide) 구조의 패턴을 약 13$\mu\textrm{m}$의 두께로 형성 한 후 non-cyanidic 액을 이용하여 전류밀도 0.02 - 0.06 mA, bubble 및 non-bubble flow를 조건으로 하여 도금된 Au 전극의 특성을 관찰하였다.

In this paper, a design method for a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed 2-element quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) is studied. A balun between CPW and coplanar strip (CPS) which feeds a planar dipole is implemented by connecting the one end of ground strips in a CPW to a signal strip. The antenna size is reduced by bent strip dipole and reflector, and an integrated balun. The proposed antenna was designed for the operation in a UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) band of 902-928 MHz, and the effects of various parameters such as dipole length, reflector length, distance between dipole and reflector, feed position were examined. The antenna with a size of $90mm{\times}80mm$ was fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results reveal a frequency band of 885-942 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, a gain > 4.3 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 7 dB over the frequency band for the UHF RFID.
