본 논문에서는 기존의 Wilkinson 전력 분배기의 1/4 파장 정합 선로를 유도성 슬릿이 삽입된 3가닥 결합 구조로 구현함으로써 점유면적을 줄이고 전기적 특성을 개선시킨 새로운 구조의 전력 분배기를 제안하였다. 정합 선로의 결합 구조로 인해 발생하는 전기적 특성과 위상의 변화를 유도성 슬릿과 선로의 길이 조정으로 보상하였다. 삽입된 유도성 슬릿의 인덕턴스 값은 폭과 깊이에 의해 결정되는데, 인덕턴스의 최적화를 통하여 상호 커패시턴스를 보상함으로써 전기적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 제작된 전력 분배기는 중심 주파수 f= 1.75 GHz에서 입,출력 단 반사 특성이 각각 -34.2 dB, -34.3 dB를 나타내었고 출력 단간 격리도 특성은 -36.7 dB를 나타내어 기존의 것에 비해 수치적으로 우수한 특성을 유지하였다. 크기 면에서도 3가닥 결합 구조로 구현함에 따라 2차원적인 점유면적을 기존의 약 1/3배로 줄였다.

In this paper, a small internal antenna for a mobile handset is presented using multiband, wideband, and high-isolation multiple-input multiple-output techniques. The proposed antenna consists of three planar inverted-F antennas (PIFAs) that operate in the global system for mobile communication (GSM900), the digital communication system (DCS), the personal communication system (PCS), the universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), and wireless local area network (WLAN) bands with a physical size of $40mm{\times}10mm{\times}10mm$. A resonator attached to the folded PIFA creates dual resonances, achieving a wide bandwidth of approximately 460 MHz, covering the DCS, PCS, and UMTS bands; a meander shorting line is used to improve impedance matching. Additionally, a modified neutralization link is embedded between diversity antennas to enhance isolation, which results in a 6-dB improvement in the isolation and less than 0.1 in the envelope correlation coefficient evaluated from the far-field radiation patterns. Simulation and measurements demonstrate very similar results for S-parameters and radiation patterns. Peak gains show 3.73 dBi, 3.77 dBi, 3.28 dBi, 2.15 dBi, and 5.86 dBi, and antenna efficiencies show 56.15%, 72.15%, 68.59%, 52.92%, and 82.93% for GSM900, DCS, PCS, UMTS, and WLAN bands, respectively.

We investigated the impedance matching characteristics of UHF-band RFID tag antenna and tag chip for increased reading range. A voltage multiplier designed using 0.4 $\mu$m zero-$V_T$ MOSFET showed that DC output voltage of about 2 V can be obtained using standard CMOS process. The input impedance of the voltage multiplier was examined to achieve impedance matching to the RFID tag antenna using analytical and numerical approaches. The input impedance of the voltage multiplier could be varied in a wide range by selecting the size of MOSFET and the number of multiplying stages, and thus can be impedance matched to a tag antenna in presence of other tag circuit blocks. A meander line inductively-coupled RFID tag antenna operating at UHF band also shows the feasibility of impedance matching to tile RFID tag chip.

본 논문은 910 MHz 대역에서 동작하는 RFID (radio Frequency identification) 태그 안테나의 소형화 설계 기법을 제안한다. folded-dipole 구조와 미앤더 선로 구조를 적용하여 태그 안테나의 소형화 설계를 행하였다. 최대 전력 전달을 위해서 테그 안테나와 칩의 임피던스의 허수부는 공액 정합되었다. 최적화된 안테나의 크기는 $50\;nm\;{\times}\;40\;nm\;{\times}\;1.6\;nm$로, 참고문헌 [4]와 비교하여 크기가 62 % 줄었다. 제작된 태그 안테나의 측정결과들은 예상과 잘 일치하는 것으로 확인되었다. 칩이 내장된 태그 안테나의 인식거리는 약 5 m로 관측되었다.

Extremely selective high temperature superconducting (HTS) band -pass filters were developed for the base transceiver station applications of Digital Cellular communication Service (DCS). The filters have a bandwidth of 25 MHz at a center frequency of 834 MHz. There are 12 resonators which have spiral-meander microstrip-line structures in order to reduce far-field radiations with a reasonable tunability. As a result, the size of filters is 5 mm $\times$ 17 mm $\times$ 41 mm. Device characteristics exhibited a low insertion loss of -0.4 dB with a -0.2 dB ripple and a return loss better than -10 dB in the pass-band at 65 K. The out-of-band signals were attenuated better than 60 dB about 3.5 MHz from the lower band edge, and 3.8 MHz from the higher band edge.

We investigated fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of a primary winding and several secondary windings connected in series between $high-T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) thin films. Each YBCO thin film has a 2 mm wide and 42 cm long meander line with 14 stripes of different length. The power imbalance due to the slight difference of Ie between YBCO current limiting elements causes the significant power burden on YBCO element with lower $I_C$. We confirmed from our experiments that the mutual coupling between the primary winding and secondary windings of the flux-lock type SFCL reduced the power imbalance between YBCO current limiting elements compared with the resistive type SFCL connected in series.

In this paper, a ceramic antenna and diplexer are designed for dual-band handset ap plications. Basically, the antenna is designed by using the meander line configuration. The diplexer presented in this paper is composed of both low- and high-pass filters. We have designed the low- and high-pass filters with attenuation poles to improve the attenuation performances of the diplexer. The attenuation poles are located at each rejection frequency region so as to improve the shrinkage characteristic of the diplexer. In order to accomplish the volume effectiveness, the antenna and the diplexer have been designed and fabricated in a multi-layer structure. The diplexer designed with a multi-layer structure has inductors and capacitors, which are implemented by LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) process technique. Design of the multi-layer antenna and diplexer has been achieved by employing the full 3-D EM simulation. The designed antenna and diplexer offer excellent return loss and broadband performances with highly isolated rejection performance.

For microwave device applications, c-axis oriented high temperature superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$ (HTS-YBCO) epitaxial thin films on the r-cut sapphire substrate(Al$_2$O$_3$) were prepared. In order to reduce the lattice mismatch with a substrate and to enhance the crystallity of HTS thin films, CeO$_2$ buffer layer on the r-cut sapphire substrate was grown by the RF-magnetron sputtering. The YBCO films on the CeO$_2$ buffer layer were deposited using the pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method. These HTS YBCO /CeO$_2$/Al$_2$O$_3$ multilayer thin films(30 $\times$ 30 mm$^2$) routinely exhibited a critical temperature(T$_{c}$) of 89 K from the R-T measurement. Using HTS YBCO/CeO$_2$ /Al$_2$O$_3$ multilayer thin film. We fabricated and characterized the microwave passive devices (planar type filters) with cryopack-age such as the coupled -line type low-pass filter (LPF) and the open-loop meander type bandpass filter (BPF).filter (BPF).).

The operational characteristics of flux-lock type high-Tc superconducting fault currentlimiters(HTSC-FCLs) was described and currents equation at each coil was derived from equivalent circuit. $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin film was used as the current limiting elements of the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL, which were fabricated by etching the YBCO thin film into 2 mm wide and 420 mm long meander line consisting of foureen stripes with different length. The 2nd peak on the current of coil 2 after a fault disappeared by current of the 3rd winding, which was installed in the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL.
