A novel balanced distributed amplifier (DA) was proposed using novel impedance transforming MEMS baluns. The impedance transforming MEMS balun is matched to $50{\Omega}$ at one input port and $25{\Omega}$ at two output ports. It is based on the electric field mode-change method, thus it is strongly independent of frequency and very compact. The novel balanced DA consists of two $25{\Omega}$-matched DAs and these are combined by $50{\Omega}$-to-$25{\Omega}$ baluns. Theoretically, it has two times wider bandwidth and power capability than the conventional DA. So as to verify the proposed concept, we designed and fabricated a conventional DA and the proposed one using 0.15-${\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT technology.

Fabrication and pakaging method for low delve voltage and 10Gbps Ti diffused waveguide LiNbO$_3$ optical intensity modulator are described. Optical waveguides were prepared by conventionaly electron-beam evaporation and Ti-indiffusion into Z-cut plate LiNbO$_3$. Traveling-wave electrodes were used for obtaining the wideband frequency response and impedance matching. Microwave effective index and characteristic impedance measured by time domain reflectometry and compared with the calculated value by conformal mapping. The characteristics of 10Gbps modulator at the 1550nm wavelength are as follows : perfect modulation voltage Is about 5V, optical insertion loss Is about 5dB, 3-dB bandwidth is 10GHz, and characteristic impedance is about 50$\Omega$.

This letter presents the design of a small and low-profile RFID tag antenna in the UHF band that can be mounted on metallic objects. The designed tag antenna, which uses a ceramic material as a substrate, consists of a radiating patch and a microstrip line with two shorting pins for a proximity-coupled feeding structure. Using this structure, impedance matching can be simply obtained between the antenna and tag chip without a matching network. The fractional impedance bandwidth for $S_{11}$ <3 dB and radiation efficiency are about 1.4% and 56% at 911 MHz, respectively. The read range is approximately from 5 m to 6 m when the tag antenna is mounted on a metallic surface.

In this study, ultrasonic transducers for non-destructive contact measurement of whole fruits were developed. The design parameters for ultrasonic transducer such as acoustical impedance of fruits, kinds of piezoelectric materials, ultrasonic wave frequency, and transducer diameter were investigated. In order to match the acoustical impedance between piezoelectric material and fruit, various materials were fabricated and evaluated. Also to control the sensitivity and bandwidth of the ultrasonic transducer, various backing materials were fabricated and evaluated. Especially, the wear plate of the ultrasonic transducer was designed and fabricated considering the curvature of fruit. The central frequencies of two developed ultrasonic transducers were about 100 kHz and 200 kHz, respectively. With the developed ultrasonic transducers, non-destructive evaluation of the fruit will be possible.

In this paper, a novel embedded ultra wideband (UWB) band-pass filter is presented on a FR-4 package substrate including high Dk resin coated copper (${\varepsilon}_r=30$) film. The proposed UWB filter is comprised of a parallel resonator with meander-type uniform impedance resonator (UIR) and two series resonators with high Q circular stacked spiral inductor and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. In order to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics by generating attenuation poles in lower and upper stop bands, a single MIM capacitor is added to each resonator. The fabricated FR-4 embedded UWB filter has insertion loss of -1.0dB and return loss of -11dB, respectively. It has also extremely wide bandwidth (over 50%) and small size ($3.7{\times}4{\times}0.77\;mm^3$) which is compatible with LTCC devices.

본 논문에서는 5-마이크로스트립선의 4-포트 다이플렉서에서 선간 간격을 조정 한 결과로부터 2번, 4번 선로 길이를 변동 시켜서 대역폭에 대한 변화를 알아보았다. 2번 선로 길이만을 조정한 경우 대역폭이 300MHz 축소되었으며 다이플렉서 특성을 한개 포트 입력에서만 구할 수 있었으나 2, 4번 선로 길이를 동시에 조정한 경우는 입력 포트 2개에서 모두 다이플렉서 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 통과 대역에 대한 대역폭은 4번 선로의 변동 시 변경 전과 동일한 결과를 얻었다. 특히 저지대역에서는 선로 길이 조정 전보다 중심 주파수에서 출력 포트와의 이격도가 1번 포트 입력인 경우 41dB, 2번 포트 입력에 대한 출력 포트간 이격도는 32dB을 보인다.

This paper describes a wideband double dipole quasi-Yagi antenna fed by a microstrip-to-slotline transition. The transition feed consists of a microstrip radial stub and a slot radial stub, each with the same angle of $90^{\circ}$ but with different radii, to achieve wideband impedance matching. Double dipoles with different lengths are utilized as primary radiation elements to enhance bandwidth and achieve stable radiation patterns. The proposed antenna has a measured bandwidth of 3.34~8.72 GHz for a -10 dB reflection coefficient and a flat gain of $6.9{\pm}0.6$ dBi across the bandwidth.
