In this paper, we have designed and fabricated hyperabrupt varactor diodes. Capacitance variations of hyperabrupt-doped varactor diodes are larger than those of uniform-doped varactor diodes. The measured reverse breakdown voltage of the fabricated varactor diodes was about 20 V. For the anode contact diameter of $50\;{\mu}m$, the maximum capacitance of the fabricated varactor diode was 2.1 pF and the minimum capacitance 0.44 pF. Therefore, the $C_{max}/C_{min}$ ratio was 4.77. Also, for the anode contact diameter of $60\;{\mu}m$, the maximum and minimum capacitances were 2.9 and 0.62 pF, respectively. And, thus, the $C_{max}/C_{min}$ ratio was 4.64.

In this paper, a frequency tunable double band-stop resonator (BSR) with voltage control by varactor diodes is suggested. It makes use of a half-wavelength shunt stub as its conventional basic structure, which is replaced by the distributed LC block. Taking advantage of the nonlinear relationship between the frequency and electrical length of the distributed LC block, a dual-band device can be designed easily. With two varactor diodes, the stop-band of the resonator can be easily tuned by controlling the electrical length of the resonator structure. The measurement results show the tuning ranges of the two operating frequencies to be 1.82 GHz to 2.03 GHz and 2.81 GHz to 3.03 GHz, respectively. The entire size of the resonator is $10mm{\times}11mm$, which is very compact.

본 논문에서는 버랙터 다이오드와 다중 슬릿을 결합한 광대역 주파수 가변 흡수체를 제안한다. 의도적으로 구성된 폭이 좁은 슬릿에 의한 기생 커패시턴스와 버랙터 다이오드를 직렬 연결하여 도체 표면의 전체 커패시턴스를 효과적으로 낮췄다. 그 결과, 기존의 흡수체에 비해 훨씬 높은 주파수 영역에서도 높은 흡수율을 얻을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 슬릿 개수를 조절하여 동작 주파수 대역도 자유롭게 선택할 수 있다. 기생 커패시턴스가 임피던스 매칭에 미치는 영향을 분석했고, 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정 결과가 잘 일치하는 것을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 입증했다.

This paper describes the fabrication techniques and analysis of hybrid composite plates with an active frequency selective surface (FSS). For fabricating hybrid composite plate with active FSS, an active FSS with a resonance frequency located in the C band can obtained using varactor diodes. The hybrid composite plate was first designed and simulated to determine its electromagnetic properties using the commercial software HFSS. After simulation, active FSSs and hybrid composite plates were fabricated by mounting with varactor diodes. After fabrication, free space measurement was used to determine the electromagnetic properties of active FSS and the hybrid composite plates. The simulation and experimental results were in good agreement.

본 논문에서는 가변 커패시터를 이용한 주파수 재구성형 평면 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 미앤더 타입의 평면 모노폴로 설계되었으며, 버랙터 다이오드를 사용하여 가변 커패시티브 로딩(capacitive loading)에 의해 공진 주파수를 변화하였다. 등가회로 분석과 EM 시뮬레이션 분석에 의해 안테나의 가변 특성 변화를 설계하였으며, 동일한 방사 패턴의 특성도 확인하였다. 제작된 주파수 가변 모노폴 안테나는 설계시 사용된 캐패시터를 실장한 안테나와 버랙터 다이오드의 인가 전압에 따른 공진 주파수 변화를 비교함으로써 설계 결과를 검증하였다. 제안된 안테나는 인가 전압에 따라 2.25 GHz에서 2.42 GHz까지 공진 주파수 가변 성능을 나타내었다.

We have developed a new non-conventional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer, in which no resonant cavity was used. We previously demonstrated a wide frequency range operation of an EPR spectrometer using two loop antennas, one for a microwave transmission and the other for signal detection [1]. In contrast to Ref. [1], the utilization of a microstrip antenna as a transmitter enhanced a capability of wide-band operation. The replacement of conventional capacitors with varactor diodes makes resonance condition easily reproducible without any mechanical action during tuning and matching procedure since the capacitance of the diodes is controlled electronically. The operation of the new EPR spectrometer was tested by measuring a signal of 1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) sample in the frequency range of 0.8-2.5 GHz.

본 논문에서, 부성 저항 특성을 갖는 능동 커패시턴스 회로를 이용한 고출력 능동 가변 대역 통과 여파기는 동축형 유전체 공진기와 버랙터 다이오드를 사용하여 설계하였으며, 셀룰러 TX, RX 대역을 모두 가변할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 능동 커패시턴스 회로의 직렬 피드백 구조는 가변 대역 통과 여파기의 버랙터 다이오드로부터 생기는 손실을 보상함과 동시에 고출력 특성을 갖도록 하기 위해 $P_{1dB}$가 32 dBm인 GaAs HFET을 사용하였다. 버랙터 다이오드는 고선형 특성을 갖도록 하기 위해 back-to-back 구조를 사용하였다. 제작된 2단 능동 가변 대역 통과 여파기는 셀룰러 대역인 800 MHz에서 900 MHz를 가변하며, 각각 25 MHz 대역폭으로 TX 대역 836 MHz에서 0.48 dB 삽입 손실 특성을 나타냈으며, RX 대역 881.5 MHz에서 0.39 dB 삽입 손실 특성을 나타내었다. $P_{1dB}$특성은 TX 및 RX 대역에서 각각 19.5 dBm과 23 dBm을 얻었다.

A novel RF tunable bandpass filter structure using dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is considered for the optimization to achieve constant bandwidth with minimum passband insertion loss. The coupling between resonators is realized by coupling windows and series lumped L, C elements are used to realize the input/output stage couplings. A 5 poles, 0.01 dB ripple Chebyshev type filter tuned from 800 MHz~900 MHz is designed and presented in this paper. The passband bandwidth for the design is 10 MHz (fractional bandwidth = 1.2 %). Experimental results show that the 3 dB passband bandwidth variation is 12.04 MHz~12.16 MHz (less than 1 %) and passband insertion loss is 15 dB~7 dB depending on the tuning voltages.

A Ku-band Push-push VCO for low cost applications is proposed. The proposed push-push oscillator achieves a wide tuning range in Ku-band by the collector bias tuning instead of extra varactor diodes. The measurement shows a wide tuning range of 900MHz, fundamental suppression of -30dBc and good phase noise of -115dBc@1MHz offset.

A RF tunable bandpass filter using dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is redesigned to improve the passband flatness. Since the tunable liters are generally of narrow bandwidth and the Q value of the varactor diode is usually very low, the passband flatness is strongly deteriorated by sizeable distortion loss. To remedy this problem, we construct modified Chebyshev type filter by use of network synthesis techniques. The key of modified Chebyshev type filter is the rearrangement of the passband poles to improve the passband flatness. To maintain the constant passband bandwidth, design techniques of input/output stage and coupling windows are also applied. Experimental results show that the passband flatness can be improved by purposed method without any additional RF amplitude equalizer.
