In this paper, we studied a method for miniaturizing a broadband stacked patch antenna structure which is widely used for bandwidth improvement. Main patch is a rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by a 50-ohm microstrip line, and a parasitic patch is laid above the main patch. The size of the main patch is designed to be resonated near the center frequency of the desired frequency band. Then parasitic patch longer than main patch is placed above the main patch. The distance between two patches might be adjusted so as to achieve impedance matching using a shunt open stub. The shunt matching stub is inserted underneath the parasitic patch and so it does not require additional space, which enables the proposed antenna structure to be advantageous in miniaturizing antenna. The effects of the various parameters on the antenna performance are examined, and we introduced the design procedure for the proposed antenna to operate in the frequency range of 2.3-2.7 GHz.

A new coplanar Magic Tee has been formed, The H_arm Is made to have a parallel connection on the plane by using a microstrip and the I_arm is serially coupled by a cavity on the circuit mount and also by a gap formed on the microstrip ground plane. Open and shorted stubs are made to have maximum coupling at the gap of the I-arm, and 2 to 1 impedance matching trinsformers in the I and H-arms are designed to obtain 2nd order Chevyshev characteristics. The impedance matching characteristic on each arm is satisfactory : with VSWR less than 1.25, and the isolation between I and H arms less than -40 dB. These results are in good agreement with theoretical prediction.

Substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) constructed by two metal planes and conductive vias in a dielectric substrate, have all the conductors connected each other and hence, cannot be biased by DC sources. We propose a new folded corrugated substrate integrated waveguide(FCSIW) that can be DC-biased. Since the proposed FCSIW replaces the SIW conducting vias by folded open subs, it can supply the DC sources. The FCSIW has better transmission characteristics and 30 % less width than the common corrugated substrate integrated waveguide(CSIW) having a serious leakage generation problem. The FCSIW shows better insertion loss(1.49 dB) compared with that(3.08 dB) of the CSIW measured for 154 mm length devices and averaged at 9~15 GHz frequency band. No leakage has been observed from crosstalk measurements of the FCSIW.

In this paper, the equivalent circuit of tapped-line that is applied in the band-pass filter is suggested and the value of an equivalent circuit is mathematically defined. An equivalent circuit of tapped-line is composed by open stub and transmission line that has negative electrical length, and the position of tapped-line and the value of resonator's length can be obtained by the impedance of resonator and the inverter. The new design method using equivalent circuit leads to very good agreement compared with theoretical value. The hair-pin band-pass filter using equivalent circuit of tapped-line shows the insertion loss of 1.1 dB and the return loss of 20 dB at the center frequency of 2 GHz.

The optimization design method for the broadband operation of the sleeve monopole was proposed to unify the multiple antennas essential to the multi-functional broadband wireless communication systems into one antenna. The structure of the sleeve part was optimized to enhance the impedance matching characteristics based on the theoretical analysis that sleeve part can works as the open stub. The thick monopole was used for the broadband operation. The radius of the sleeve and the permittivity of the dielectric inside the sleeve was optimized to enhance the impedance matching characteristics for the broadband operation. The optimized sleeve monopole having thick monopole shows broadband characteristics over 3:1 bandwidth, from 0.8 to 2.43 GHz, which is suitable for the commercial wireless communication system. The proposed broadband sleeve monopole can reduce multiple antennas essential to the multi-functional broadband systems to one antenna.

In this paper, the reduced size of broad bandpass filter with parallel coupled line structure is presented. This proposed filter can control bandwidth of narrow to broadband by adjusting the coupling coefficient. The conventional filter is operated with a narrow band. If a higher bandwidth is desired than the conventional narrow bandwidth, it is hard to realize due to the coupling coefficient between feeding line and resonator. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, a proposed bandpass filter is designed with reduced size due to SIR (Stepped Impedance Resonator), U-shaped open stub with hair-pin and vertical-type structure than conventional one, and it has characteristics of adjusting bandwidth freely as per quantity of coupling coefficient. The proposed bandpass filter that, experimental results of insertion and return losses are 0.42 dB and 24.5 dB with bandwidth of 60 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz, respectively.

When the crew or passengers fall into the water due to marine accident of vessel, it is very important to rescue them quickly. In the case of marine accidents, most people in distress have been wearing a lifejacket, so if the GPS and Cospas-Sarsat communication module will be integrated within the lifejacket, it is easy to rescue them. In this paper, development of the dual band lifejacket-integrated antenna for GPS and Cospas-Sarsat communication is discussed. The antenna with the FR-4 substrate of 0.2mm thickness for flexibility was designed that it can be fitted close to the shoulder of the life jacket and operate at 1.575GHz and 406MHz. The GPS communication antenna was implemented with a ring-slot antenna having a circular polarized characteristic and a meander type linear polarized antenna is used as Cospas-Sarsat communication. The two antennas are fed by a single microstrip line and an open stub is used to minimize the mutual interference between the two antennas. The performance of the fabricated antenna attached to the life vest is confirmed by the measurement of the return loss at GPS and Cospas-Sarsat frequency bands.

In this paper, we proposed the small planar monopole antenna with modified ground plane for UWB communications. The proposed antenna not only shows Ultra-Wideband characteristic(3.1~10.6 GHz) suitable for UWB communications but has partially notched-band characteristic to reject 5 GHz WLAN band(5.15~5.35 GHz, 5.470~5.825 GHz). The proposed antenna improved impedance matching through two slits on ground plane, and the rejection band was induced by two ${\lambda}$/4 open stubs on center of two slits. Fabricated antenna satisfied VSWR${\leq}$2 in 2.88~10.83 GHz except for the band rejection of 5.08~5.83 GHz.

This paper proposes a novel BPF structure with less insertion loss and small size instead of the existing coupled line BPF for the output of the tripler using APDP (Anti-Parallel Diode Pair). This proposed BPF consists of the interdigital capacitor and spiral open stub. The proposed BPF has the insertion loss of less than 0.7dB within the band $(16.41{\sim}19.23GHz)$. The conversion loss of the tripler is about $16.6{\sim}18.5dB$ $(flatness<{\pm}1dB)$ at $5.72{\sim}6.28GHz$ of fundamental frequency. Its fundamental frequency and the fifth harmonic suppression characteristic at 6GHz are -32.16dBc and -44.6dBc, respectively And its phase noise attenuation characteristic is about 9.5dB at 100kHz.

In this work, a reduced size 20W quasi class-E Power Amplifier(PA) with defected ground structure load-network is presented for WCDMA base station application. Harmonic impedances required for the class E operation are satisfied by applying the dumbbell and the asymmetric spiral DGS. Open impedance for 2nd harmonic frequency which has the highest power and nearly short impedances for other higher order harmonics are provided by the proposed DGS load-network. The maximum Power Added Efficiency(PAE) of 70.2 % at the output power of 43.1 dBm with the saturated power gain of 12.7 dB is achieved by the proposed quasi class-E PA, which is comparable to the performance of the reference class-E PA. Total size of the proposed class-E PA is only $50{\times}50\;mm^2$ and much smaller than the conventional class-E PA that is loaded with a number of open stubs.
