We present a parametric array signal generating system using $3{\times}16$ transducer array which is composed of multi-resonant frequency transducers of 20kHz and 32.5kHz. To drive transducer array, sixteen channel amplifier using LM1875 chips is designed and implemented, and the PXI system based on the LabView 8.6 for arbitrary signal generation and analysis is used. Using the proposed system, we measure sound pressure level and beam pattern of difference frequency and verify the nonlinear effect of difference frequency. The theoretical absorption range and the Rayleigh distance are 15.51m and 1.933m, respectively and we verify that sound pressure of difference frequency is accumulated and increased at the near-field shorter than the Rayleigh distance. We verify that the beam pattern of the measured difference frequency and the beam pattern obtained by the superposition of two primary frequencies are similar, and high directional parametric signal was generated.

The VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with low phase noise and high reliability is implemented using nonlinear design, and its phase noise characteristics are compared with that of Lesson's equation. The microstripline coupled with dielectric resonator is realized as a high impedance inverter to improve the phase noise, and the qualify factor of resonator circuit can be transferred to active device with the enhanced the loaded quality factor. The worst case and part stress analyses are achieved to obtain the high reliability of VCO. The developed VCO has the oscillating tuning factor of 0.56MHz/V for the control voltage range of 0$\~$12V This VCO requires the DC power of 160mW. The phase noise characteristics exhibit good performances of -96.51dBc/Hz @ 10KHz and -116.3dBc/Hz @ 100KHz, respectively. And, the output power of 7.33 dBm is measured.

We developed an optical transmitter and receiver for an electrical time division multiplexed (ETDM) 20 Gb/s optical transmission system, and experimentally investigated their characteristics. Especially, the clock extraction circuit, which is a key component in realizing broadband optical transmission receivers, was realized by using an NRZ-to-PRZ converter implemented with a half-period delay line and an EX-OR, a high-Q bandpass filter using a cylindrical dielectric resonator, and a microstrip coupled-line bandpass filter. Finally, the bit-error-rate of demultiplexed 10 Gb/s electrical signal after back to-back transmission was measured, and a high receiver sensitivity [-26.2 dBm for NRZ ($2^{7}-1$) pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS)] was obtained

In this paper, we investgate variation of phase and magnitude characteristics which become different as the variables of DGS are changed and propose the new method to easily decide the best optimum DGS pattern taking advantage of this trend. Generalized Chebyshev(GC) low pass filter(LPF) is designed by using DGS obtained from this method GC DGS LPF is more available for filter application than Chevyshev DGS LPF because GC LPF have parallel resonators as series circuits, therefore unlikely Chebyshev LPF, transform step of the series elements can be omitted. By using the proposed method, GC DGS LPF(N=5) and as a subject of comparison, conventional Chbyshev LPF(N=7) are designed and implementation. From the comparison of the measured data, we confirmed that the implemented GC DGS 5th order LPF have much better cutoff characteristics and reduce by 0.58 times size, on the other hand the stop bandwidth become widen about 1.57 times or more in comparison with the conventional Chevyshev 7th order LPF.

This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

In this paper, we propose the internal mobile antenna for TDMB and KPCS. The proposed antenna is made of different dielectric substrate and it has small size ($45{\times}8{\times}8\;mm$, about 2.8 cc) for mobile device. TDMB antenna is designed spiral structure that makes maximum current for each cell and KPCS antenna is PIFA that is usually used for internal antenna. In order to compensate length of resonance TDMB antenna has a large inductor above 100 nH. In this case, the inductor isolate KPCS signal at TDMB by cutting high frequency. Also the antenna has good isolation because TDMB radiator is parasitic element in KPCS band. We simulated the antenna by using CST microwave studio and measured performance of the antenna in anechoic chamber Proposed antenna has $-6{\sim}-14\;dBi$ gain for TDMB and $-3.5{\sim}-5\;dBi$ gain for KPCS.

In this letter, a new approach is proposed for the design of a multi antenna for MIMO wireless devices. The proposed antenna covers various LTE(Long Term Evolution) service bands: band 17(704~746 MHz), band 13(746~787 MHz), band 5(824~894 MHz), and band 8(880~960 MHz). The proposed main antenna consists of a conventional monopole antenna with an inverted L-shaped slit for wideband operation. The proposed the LTE sub antenna is based on a switch loaded loop antenna structure, with a resonance frequency that can be controlled by capacitance of a logic circuit. The tuning technique for the LTE Rx antenna uses a RF MEMS(Micro-Electro mechanical system) to match the impedances to realize the bands of interest. Because the two proposed antennas are polarized orthogonally to each other, the ECC(Envelope Correlation Coefficient) characteristic between two antennas was measured to be very low (below 0.06) with an isolation characteristic below -20 dB between the two antennas in the operating overall LTE bands. The proposed antenna is particularly attractive for mobile devices that integrate LTE multiple systems.

We have designed and made three kinds of FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) Acoustic Transducer using Hopper type WDM on the use of recently developed FBG in Korea. The newly designed three kinds of FBG Acoustic Transducer using Hopper type WDM have an excellent merit of practical use with simple structure of sensors arm as well as the merit with existing fiber sensors. It was possible to detect sound waves in the range of 10 Hz to 18 kHz through the newly designed three kinds of FBG Acoustic Transducer and also, possible to detect its signal within the maximum range of 8.6 m by the use of most suitable resonance condition of the transducer. Especially, we can expect the utilization of low-frequency signal detection instead of existing acoustic sensor in the environment of electric noise and inferior condition. Furthermore, they can be developed as the high-sensibility and multi-point signal detection system through the sensor array system.

High-performance Si integrated passive process was developed using thick oxidation process and Cu-BCB process. This passive process leads to low-cost and high-quality RF module with a small form factor. The fabricated spiral inductor with 225 um inner diameter and 2.5 turns showed the inductance of 2.7 nH and the quality factor more than 30 in the frequency region of 1 ㎓ and above. Also WLCSP-type integrated passive devices were fabricated using the high-performance spiral inductors. The fabricated low pass filter had a parallel-resonance circuit inside the spiral inductor to suppress 2nd harmonics and showed about 0.5 ㏈ insertion loss at 2.45 ㎓. And also the high/low-pass balun had the insertion loss less than 0.5 ㏈ and the phase difference of 182 degrees at 2.45 ㎓.

A compact electric field probe sensor incorporating two different electro-optic materials of $LiNbO_3$ and GaAs was proposed and fabricated, and it was used to measure the strength of the horizontal and vertical fields generated by a microstrip ring-resonator filter. The sensitivities of the sensors in $LiNbO_3$ and GaAs were $9.315{\mu}V/\sqrt{Hz}$ and ${\sim}49.346{\mu}V/\sqrt{Hz}$ respectively, and their signal to noise ratios were approximately ${\sim}50\;dB$ and ${\sim}40\;dB$ respectively. And the operating frequency range was up to ${\sim}1.2\;GHz$. The electric field profile for the test circuit was scanned and found to be in good agreement with that obtained by using the HFSS simulation.
