A new method to miniaturize ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line of power divider is proposed. The method utilizes simple combination of the shorted coupled-line pair instead of the transmission line with very high impedance and shunt lumped capacitors. The length of ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line of power divider is about 16% over the conventional power divider at 1 GHz.

5-bit 광대역 MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) 위상 변위기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 광대역 동작 특성을 위해서 11.25$^{\circ}$, 22.5$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$ bit는 Lange 커플러를 이용한 reflection 형태로 설계되었으며, 180 $^{\circ}$bit 는 Lange 커플러를 사용한 shorted coupled line과 전송선을 $\pi$-network 형태로 만든 구조를 이용하여 구현되었고, Lange 커플러로 인한 전체 회로의 크기가 커지는 것을 막기 위해서 커플러를 크게 구부려 회고의 크기를 작게 하였다. 또한 손실이 작은 PIN 다이오드를 사용하여 각 bit에서 스위치로 사용하였다. 제작된 5-bit 광대역 위상 변위기는 5개의 주요 위상에 대하여 RMS 위상 오차 3.5$^{\circ}$, 최대 삽입손실 12.5 dB, 최대 입.출력 반사 손실 7 dB와 10 dB의 측정결과를 되였다. 제작된 위상 변위기 회로의 크기는 6.5$\times$5.3 $ extrm{mm}^2$ 이다.

본 논문에서는 평면형 마이크로스트립 공진기를 이용한 고주파 발진기의 단점인 위상잡음 특성을 개선하기 위해 접지된 결합 C형 공진기를 제안하였다. 제안된 공진기를 이용하여 위상잡음 특성 개선 효과를 나타내기 위해 발진기를 설계하여, 9.8 GHz 기본 주파수에서 4.87dBm의 출력과 -84.7 dBc@100kHz의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었다. 다음은 제안된 공진기에 버랙터다이오드를 추가하여 전압 제어발진기를 구현하였다. 전압 제어발진기의 특성은 최소 9.7807 GHz에서 최대 9.8145 GHz까지 33.8 MHz 정도의 튜닝범위를 가지고, -115~-112.5 dBc/Hz@100kHz의 위상잡음 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문의 발진기는 평면형 구조로 쉬운 작업공정과 소형화 특성 때문에 MIC 또는 MMIC 분야의 설계에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, the use of a dual composite right/left-handed coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line is proposed for the design of a band rejection filter. The notch property of the filter is achieved by combining the convex signal line with the shorted concave meander line, and the equivalent circuit model is extracted from the geometry of the unit cell for organizing the band rejection property. Then the equivalent parameters of the unit cell are analyzed to identify those behaviors. And the dispersion characteristics and energy distributions are simulated. In the end, the band rejection filter is manufactured by cascading two proposed unit cells. We show that the measurement result for the resonant frequency demonstrates good agreement with the simulation result and the band rejection filter provides a rejection performance of 17.5 dB at the stopband frequency ranging from 869 MHz to 894 MHz.

A miniaturized CMOS bandpass filter for a single RF transceiver system is presented, using diagonally end-shorted coupled lines and lumped capacitors. In contrast to conventional miniaturized coupled line filters, it is proven that the effective permittivity variation of the coupled transmission line has no effect on shifting the center frequency when the bandpass filter is highly miniaturized. A bandpass filter at a center frequency of 2 GHz was fabricated by $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The insertion loss with the die area of $1500{\mu}m{\times}1000{\mu}m$ is -5.14 dB. Simulated results are well agreed with the easurements. It also verify the center frequency stability in the compact size bandpass filter.

In this paper, a new size-reduction approach for branch-line coupler is introduced which uses parallel end-shorted coupled lines with lumped capacitors. The characteristic of the new design was analyzed using even-odd mode method, and simulated on HFSS before fabricated on the FR4 epoxy glass cloth copper-clad plat (CCL) PCB substrate at center frequency of 1 GHz. The electrical length of transmission line was reduced to 15 degrees, therefore the size of branch-line coupler was largely reduced approximately maintaining the same characteristic around the stable center frequency. The insertion loss of the branch-line coupler filter was -4.39 dB. The size of the overall hybrid is $20mm{\times}20mm$. Measurements results were well agreed with the simulated ones.

This paper presents a method for analyzing and designing an extremely miniaturized planar ring hybrid, using the combination of parallel and diagonally shorted coupled lines. In contrast to conventional miniaturized coupled line filters, it is proven that the required electrical length of transmission line can be largely reduced to even a few degrees, not only effectively suppressing the spurious passband but also approximately maintaining the same characteristic around the stable center frequency. A ring hybrid filter at center frequency of 1 GHz was fabricated on the FR4 epoxy glass cloth copper-clad plat (CCL) PCB substrate. The insertion loss of a ring hybrid filter with the die area of $30mm{\times}30mm$ is -4.68 dB. Simulated results are well agreed with the measurements.

This letter presents the design of a compact bandstop filter (BSF) operating at two frequencies. The proposed BSF consists of open-ended stepped impedance resonators (OSIR) and an end-shorted parallel-coupled microstrip line (E-PCML). The OSIRs are used to achieve the impedance-controlled stopband positions. The wide BSF bandwidths are achieved through enhanced coupling of the E-PCML. Explicit design guidelines are derived using a lossless transmission line model. To validate theoretical predictions, a prototype dual-band BSF operating at 900 MHz and 2,100 MHz with fractional bandwidths of 72% and 36%, respectively, is implemented in microstrip.

This paper proposes a dual-band bandpass filter using stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have interdigital and comb-line shorted ends. The central PCLs build an upper passband and a transmission zero, and the two U-shaped SIRs build a lower passband. Four resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive its scattering parameters. A novel dual-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering characteristics. The measured results show that the fabricated dual-band bandpass filter has an insertion loss of less than 1.02 dB in the lower band of 2.45 GHz and of 3.01 dB in the upper band of 3.42 GHz, and a band-to-band isolation of more than 40 dB, from 3.14 to 3.2 GHz.

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.
