This paper presents a tuneable bandstop resonator with two possible configurations, it can be used to tune its center frequency, or it can be used to tune its bandwidth. The tuneable bandstop resonator has potential application in microwave communications receivers, where it can be used to tune out interfering signals. The proposed resonator is comb actuated, where the resonator's displacement produces different values of frequency or bandwidth, this is achieved by decoupling electromagnetic energy from a main transmission line. The proposed fabrication process for the resonator is by anodic bonding pyrex glass and tow resistivity silicon, where the comb resonator structure is patterned by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). This paper presents the resonator and actuator design in both configurations, as well as the fabrication process intended for its development.

In this paper, a novel notch resonator is proposed based on Rectanglar Split Ring Resonator (R-RSS) element. We represented the electrical characteristics for R-SRR elements coupled with microstrip line, and measured result is compared with electromagnetic simulation (HFSS) result. We also solved equivalent circuit for R-SRR element, and also discussed influences of change structural parameters of R-SRR. the size of R-SRR is the most important parameters for frequency tuning. Also we can make tunable resonator form the basic structure. This novel resonator can apply to design of tunable bandpass filter and voltage control oscillator.

Recently, it has demanded high-speed digital circuits as information increase. Therefore, electromagnetic characteristics of compact microwave circuit occurred importantly. And, the effect of the imperfect ground plane on the signal integrity and influence of coupling between two parallel lines for high-speed digital transmission line on the printed circuit board is investigated by FDTD simulations in 3-D electromagnetic analysis method. The results of FDTD simulation are compared with the ADS simulation in commercial software, analyzed lumped element of modeling and electromagnetic wave's radiation of slot as frequency. As a consequence, when the slot in the ground plane is under microstrip line, it has much effect on propagation of wave.

In this paper, to improve the characteristics of a transmission line on silicon substrate, we fabricated air-bridge interconnected CPW transmission line on a 10-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick oxidized porous silicon(OPS) substrate using surface micromachining. Air-bridge interconnected CPW of S-W-S = 30-80-30 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$has insertion loss of -0.25 ㏈ and return loss of -28.9 ㏈ at 4㎓ And return loss of CPW with stepped compensated air-bridge(S-W-S : 30-100-30 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) is improved -0.98㏈ at 4㎓. The results indicate that the thick OPS provides an approach to incorporate high performance, low cost microwave and millimeter wave circuits in a high-resistivity silicon-based process.

With the help of technical development in the electronic industries, the electronic devices employing the cutting-edged technology are spread in all the area requiring electromagnetic communications. Especially, because of the presence of electronic devices in a variety of research fields like automotive vehicle, train, and aircraft, the research area such as the malfunction and critical damage of the internal system and microwave devices due to the unexpected radiated high-powered EM effects are very important even for the possible occurrence of human damage. In this paper, the effects of electromagnetic fields into the cable connecting the electronic devices and many sensors inside the target structure is treated because of potential malfunction or hardware disorders. In addition, correlation function and transmission line theory have been employed for the analysis of the induced current on the cable inside an electrically large resonant structure.

In this paper, the design of asymmetric branch line couplers using artificial dielectric substrate (ADS) is described. The effective permittivity and permeability increase in ADS because of the lots of the inserted via-holes. So the physical length and width of transmission lines realized on ADS are reduced compared to the standard lines. This enables one to design size-reduced microwave circuits. As an instance in this work, an asymmetric branch line coupler with the ratio of 3:1 is designed at 2GHz. The designed coupler has a small size of 53.4% compared to the normal circuit while the same performances are preserved. A good agreement between the simulated and measured asymmetric power dividing ratio is shown. The measured loss is only less than 0.2dB, which is a very small value.

5-bit broadband MMIC phase shifter has been designed and fabricated. For the broadband performance, 11.25$^{\circ}$, 22.5$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ bit have been designed with Lange coupler and 180$^{\circ}$ bit has been implemented by using shorted coupled line with Lange coupler and $\pi$-network of transmission line. Due to Lange coupler with large size, the Lange couplers have been folded far circuit size reduction. Low loss PIN diode has been utilized as a switch for each bit. Fabricated 5-bit broadband phase shifter shows the measured results that RMS phase error of 5 major phases is 3.5$^{\circ}$, maximum insertion loss is 12.5 dB, and maximum input and output return loss are 7 dB and 10 dB, respectively. The size of fabricated phase shifter is 6.5$\times$5.3 $ extrm{mm}^2$.

In this paper, we derive a spectral function and a new impedance profile of non-uniform tapered transmission lines by applying the Fourier transform to a linearized Riccati equation. We compensate the error which is from a linearized Riccati equation by adding a Taylor series to the impedance profile. Added terms remove discontinuities In the impedance profile at both ends of the non-uniform section. We show that a calculated spectrum approaches to a target spectrum of filter by an iterative method and numerical examples are given to illustrate the role of the phase function. As the design method which is shown in present paper provides a excellent adaptability for the design of non-uniform tapered transmission lines, the present method can be applied to design filters and impedance matching circuits with various passband characteristics.

Advanced microwave absorbers for wide oblique incidence angles are required in many applications including wireless communication or vehicle identification in ITS(Intelligent Transport System) where 5.8 GHz DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) system is applied. In this study, two-layered microwave absorber(with a laminate structure of dielectric/magnetic composites) has been designed for the achievement of low reflection coefficient over wide incidence angles at 5.8 GHz. Iron flake particles are used as the filler in the absorbing layer, and the magnetic composite sheet exhibits high magnetic loss due to ferromagnetic resonance in gigahertz frequencies. The surface layer of low dielectric constant containing small amount of carbon black is used as the impedance transformer. On the basis of transmission line theory, the reflection loss has been calculated for the two-layer structure with variation of incident angles for both TE(Transverse Electric) and TM(Transverse Magnetic) polarizations. At the optimum thickness of the composite layers, a low value of reflection loss(less than -10 dB) has been predicted for wide incidence angles up to $55^{\circ}$ which is in good agreement with the measured value determined by free-space measurement.

In this paper, analysis and measurement on coaxial connecter designed for packaging of microwave and micro strip transition structure are carried out. Even though researches on optimization of various kinds of transition structures have been conducted actively; however, the range of the application was very limited since they have been focused mainly on improvement of specific transmission line. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to analyze three kinds of substrates of which dielectric constants are 2,5,10 and are commercially used nowadays. Besides, we have confirmed reliability of FEM analysis, extracted equivalent circuit of transition area, found out factors determining extracted physical values, and made proof of electromagnetic variations for optimum characteristics. In addition, transition structure showing optimized characteristics on the basis of dielectric and microstrip structure was proposed. We reckon that the result of this research will apply with effect to transition design in microwave packaging development.
