We present the design of a radiometer in W-band which operates simultaneously with a single antenna configured FMCW radar. We choose a total power radiometer(TPR) which shares an antenna and a front-end with the radar for miniaturizing the system. We separate the radiometer signal from the radar signal using a diplexer in IF band. Because the radiometer has an unwanted transmitter section due to the common use of the MMW front-end with the radar, some additional noise signals caused by the transmitter degrade the sensitivity of the radiometer system. To compensate the degradation of sensitivity, we use matching circuits and a diode detector configured as the voltage doubler. Through some experiments, we have verified that the designed radiometer system has good performances in detecting metal targets tying at several hundred meters.

This paper proposes a new concept about dual band predistortion linear power amplifier(PD LPA) using diplexer for digital cellular ($f_o$=880 MHz) and IMT-2000($f_o$=2,140 MHz) base stations. The diplexer is composed of low pass filter having defected ground structure(BGS) microstrip line and high pass filter having high-Q lumped capacitors and distributed elements. The proposed predistorter adopts a reflection type intermodulation signal generator with 3 dB hybrid coupler for good reflection characteristic. for a forward link one carrier CDMA IS-95A 1FA and WCDMA 1FA signal, the proposed dual band PD LPA shows the adjacent channel leakage ratio(ACLR) improvement about 10 dB and 9.36 dB for digital cellular and IMT-2000 band, respectively.

Multipactor-free S-band duplexer based on inter-digital cavity type filter is proposed and demonstrated by in-house mulitpactor test facility for satellite RF components. Multipactor sensitivity of designed duplexer is analyzed by checking it out the maximum field accumulated region inside duplexer and calculating the electric field intensities at each resonator using 3D EM simulation in order to restrict the minimum gap distance as 2.5 mm which handles 43.13 dBm RF input power. Multipactor threshold was finally detected at 44 dBm in experiment for pulse mode test. The developed multipactor test method is cost effective, simple structure and gives a good agreement compared with the previous high cost MP test methodologies.

In this paper, we develop the PLL system of the local oscillator system using Gunn oscillator VCO for millimeter wave band receiving system. The local oscillator system consists of the $86{\sim}115GHz$ Gunn. diode oscillator part, the RF processing part including the diplexer and the harmonic mixer, and the DPLL system including Gunn modulator and controller. Based on this configuration, we verify the frequency and power stability of the developed local oscillator system. We developed system which applied to DPLL technique instead of the existing analog PLL method to accomplish this purpose. The developed system for this purpose is tested the frequency and power stability for a long time to confirm performance. Since we confirmed this system that had frequency characteristic of within ${\pm}10Hz$, very fine output drift power characteristic of $0.2{\sim}0.3dBm$ and about 200MHz locking range, it verified suitable for cosmic radio receiving system through the test result.

A compact antenna switch module for GSM/DCS dual band applications based on multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate is presented. Its size is $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$ and insertion loss is lower than 1.0 dB at Rx mode and 1.2 dB at Tx mode. To verify the stability of the developed module to the process window, each block that is diplexer, LPF's and bias circuit is measured by probing method in the variation with the thickness of ceramic layer and the correlation between each block is quantified by calculating the VSWR In the mean while, two types of bias circuits -lumped and distributed - are compared. The measurement of each block and the calculation of VSWR give good information on the behavior of full module. The reaction of diplexer to the thickness is similar to those of LPF's and bias circuit, which means good relative matching and low value of VSWR, so total insertion loss is maintained in quite wide range of the thickness of ceramic layer at both band. And lumped type bias circuit has smaller insertion itself and better correspondence with other circuit than distributed stripline structure. Evaluated ceramic module adopting lumped type bias circuit has low insertion loss and wider stability region of thickness over than 6um and this can be suitable for the mass production. Stability characterization by probing method can be applied widely to the development of ceramic modules with embedded passives in them.

This paper presents compact dual-band WLAN filter and filter module. They were developed by embedding all of the passive lumped elements into a LTCC substrate. In order to reduce the size/volume of the filter and avoid EM parasitic couplings between the passive elements, the proposed filter was designed using a 3rd order Chebyshev circuit topology and J-inverter transformation technology. The 3rd order Chebyshev bandpass filter was firstly designed for the band-selection of the 802.11b and was then transformed using finite transmission zeros technologies. Finally, the dual-band filter was realized by adding two notch resonators to the 802.11b filter circuit for the band-selection of the 802.11a/g. The maximum insertion losses in the lower and higher passbands were better than 2.0 and 1.3 dB with minimum return losses of 15 and 14 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the filter was integrated with a diplexer to clearly split the signals between 2 and 5 GHz. The maximum insertion and minimum return losses of the fabricated module were 2.2 and 14 dB at 2.4 - 2.5 GHz, and 1.6 and 19 dB at 5.15 - 5.85 GHz, respectively. The overall volume of the fabricated filter was $2.7{\times}2.3{\times}0.59mm^3$.

Also, it shows the attenuation characteristic of less than 18 ㏈, and the VSWR of less than 2.0 through the all pass-band.

위성용 초고주파신호분배기(이하, RFDU)는 위성에 장착된 두 개의 안테나와 두 개의 송수신기 사이에 위치하게 되며, 지상으로부터 송신된 제어신호와 위성의 상태 정보 신호를 전달/분배하는 RF 신호 경로를 제공하게 된다. 기존의 위성용 RFDU의 구조는 cavity 형태의 필터로 구성된 diplexer와 hybrid RF coupler 및 저역통과필터 들이 서로 SMA 케이블로 연결되어 있는 부피가 큰 구조이다. 또한 차세대 위용용 부품들은 위성을 경제성 등을 고려하여 소형/경량화 개발이 요구되고 있으며, 특히 위성용 S 대역 TC/TM 통신링크에서 RFDU와 트랜스폰더는 소형 경량화를 위해 단일 unit으로 개발되고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 RFDU 또한 전기적 성능을 유지하면서 소형/경량화 개량 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 RFDU의 소형 경량화를 위해 PCB와 housing을 이용하여 cavity 필터특성을 갖는 diplxer를 개발/구현 하였으며, PCB 페턴을 통한 내부 인터페이스용 SMA 케이블 제거 등을 적용하였다. 또한 microstrip 타입의 저역통과필터을 적용하여 소형 경량화를 이루었으며, 새로이 개발된 소형/경량의 RFDU는 전기적으로 기존의 그것과 유사하거나 동등한 특성을 갖는 것을 확인하였으며, 기존 RFDU 대비 무게 및 부피는 60 % 이상 감소하여 소형/경량화 개발을 성공하였다. 본 개발 결과물은 향후 차세대 위성용 RFDU 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 것이다.
