Three-Dimensional FDTD method is applied to analyze the dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. We model accurately the curved surface using Noriaki model. The frequency resolution is 106.46 MHz by the conventional FFT However it is not sufficient for determining its resonant frequency. So we introduce the Pad approximation and Stoer-Bulirsch method in order to have the high frequency resolution degree, 1.00 MHz. All results are compared with the measured data. As a result, we acquire the very precise result through the Pad approximation. And sinusoidal wave is applied. From the plot of the electric and magnetic field distribution, it is shown that the resonant mode is TE$_{01{\delta}}$ mode.

A microstrip dual-wideband bandpass filter using a multimode resonator (MMR) is proposed in this letter. The proposed MMR loaded with a T-shaped open-ended stub and a short-ended stub exhibits triple mode characteristics, and a synthesis method is developed to illustrate the wide passband with independently controllable center frequencies and bandwidths. To verify this design methodology, a dual-wideband filter with fractional bandwidths of 19.1% and 27.9% is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree with the simulations.

The conventional geometry of a plate microstrip resonator is made up of a single metallic patch, which is printed on a monolayer dielectric substrate. Its arrangement is simple and easy to make, but it is limited in its functional abilities. Many searches have been realized to improve the bandwidth and the gain of the microstrip resonators. Among the various configurations proposed in the open literature, the stacked geometry seems to be very promising. By appropriate design, it is able to provide the operation in dual frequency mode, wide bandwidth enough and high gain. The theoretical investigations of structures composed of two stacked anti-reflection coatings, enhanced metallic coatings are available in the literature, however, for the stacked configurations involving three metallic coatings or more, not to exact or approximate analysis was conducted due to the complexity of the structure.

This study presents a new, simple method for improving the front-to-back (F/B) ratio of a microstrip patch antenna (MSA) based on surface wave suppression. The back radiation of the MSA is significantly reduced by using the meandered ground plane edges and placing split-ring resonators (SRRs) in the middle of the meandered slots. By loading SRRs near the center of the meandered ground plane edges, some parts of the diffracted back-lobe power density can be reduced further. Compared to the F/B ratio of a conventional MSA with a full ground plane of the same size, an improved F/B ratio of 18 dB has been achieved experimentally for our proposed MSA.

In this paper, a 23 GHz push-push oscillator was designed and fabricated for 23 GHz point-to-point communication using split ring resonator. The split ring resonator was equivalent circuit and numerical method of MPIE(Mixed Potential Integral Equation). The analysis of split ring resonator which coupled between microstrip lines was carried out with transmission-mode using this results. The fabricated oscillator showed the output power of 4 dBm, the 1'st harmonic suppression of -20 dBc, the 3rd harmonic suppression of -34 dBc, a SSB phase noise of -109 dBc / Hz at 1MHz offset frequency from the carrier was achieved and 1.4 percents efficiency at 23 GHz. The experimental outputs were in good results with the theoretical and simulated results.

A new measurement method of coupled transmission line characteristics is described. This method presents precision values of even-and odd-mode impedances as well as effective dielectric constants of symmetric parallel coupled microstrip lines from the scalar quantities obtained by transmission coefficients at two different resonance frequencies. Especially these values include dispersion effects in the measured frequency band. The measured impedances and effective dielectric constants of actually fabricated coupled lines on the Teflon substrates with low dielectric constants are good agreement with predicted values. And the experimental pass band characteristics of single section resonator by using previously designed coupled lines agree well with theoretical values.

RF circuit을 구현하는데 있어서 기판의 전기적 특성을 정확하게 아는 것은 원하는 결과를 추출하기 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 PI 기판의 전기적인 특성인 유효 유전율과 loss tangent 값을 T-resonator률 이용해 정확하게 측정하고자 했다. T-resonator는 microstrip 구조로 구현 되었으며 conductor material은 Cu를 사용하였다. PI 기판의 두께는 25um, Cu의 두께는 PI 기판의 종류에 따라 12um 와 18um, T-resonator line width는 50um로 구현하였다. 또한 공진 주파수에 따라 stub 길이가 다른 10개의 T-resonator를 제작하였다. PI 기판의 유효 유전율을 구하기 위해 stub 길이의 open-end effect와 T-junction effect를 고려하였으며 수식을 통해 정확한 유효 유전률을 추출하였다. 또한 PI 기판의 loss tangent 추출에 필요한 dielectric loss를 추출하기 위해 unload quality factor를 분석하였다. Unload quality factor는 dielectric loss, conductor loss, radiation loss를 구성되며 conductor loss와 radiation loss를 수식에 의해 구하고 dielectric loss를 추출 하였다. 추출 된 dielectric loss를 통해 각각의 T-resonator의 loss tangent 값을 구하였다. T-resonator를 이용한 PI 기판의 측정은 비교적 복잡한 수식에 의해 이루어지지만 정확한 data를 얻을 수 있고 다른 재료의 전기적 특성을 추출하는데 응용이 가능하다.

In this paper, we present a Vt-DRO with a low phase noise, which is achieved by improving the coupling structure between the dielectric resonator and microstrip line. The Vt-DRO is a closed-loop type and is composed of 3 blocks; dielectric resonator, phase shifter, and amplifier. We propose a mathematical estimation method of phase noise, using the group delay of the resonator. By modifying the coupling structure between the dielectric resonator and microstrip line, we achieved a group delay of 53 nsec. For convenience of measurement, wafer probes were inserted at each stage to measure the S-parameters of each block. The measured S-parameter of the Vt-DRO satisfies the open-loop oscillation condition. The Vt-DRO was implemented by connecting the input and output of the designed open-loop to form a closed-loop. As a result, the phase noise of the Vt-DRO was measured as -132.7 dBc/Hz(@ 100 kHz offset frequency), which approximates the predicted result at the center frequency of 5.3 GHz. The tuning-range of the Vt-DRO is about 5 MHz for tuning voltage of 0~10 V and the power is 4.5 dBm. PFTN-FOM is -31 dBm.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the dielectric constant of a planar substrate is proposed. To this end, a band-stop filter was created by adding a H-shaped resonant aperture to the ground plane of a microstrip transmission line. A planar substrate of 2 mm thickness was placed behind the ground plane of the microstrip transmission line and the change of the resonant frequency with the change of the dielectric constant of the substrate was investigated. It can be seen that the change ratio of the frequency to the reference resonant frequency is larger than that of the conventional complementary split ring resonator structure.

In this paper, a new dual-band bandpass filter(BPF) that has resonators and feed lines with Stepped-Impedance Resonator(SIR) structures is proposed. Feed lines with SIR structure provide maximum magnetic field points which occur at the same locations of the input and output feed lines, so the insertion loss of BPF was reduced. Applying the SIR structure to the BPF for the first passband improves rejection characteristics between the first passband and the second passband. It reduces the coupling between the BPF for the first passband and the BPF for the second passband, so it makes the dual-band BPF more compact. The proposed design method provides independent changes of both the center frequency and the bandwidth for each resonator, and also improves filtering characteristics. The validity of the proposed design method is confirmed by comparisons between the designed parameters and the measured results satisfying WLAN specifications.
