In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the microstrip square open loop multiple split ring resonator (OLMSRR) is presented for reducing the phase noise property. The square-shaped multiple split ring resonator (MSRR) having the form of the microstrip square open loop is investigated to realize this property. Compared with the microstrip square open loop resonator and the microstrip square open loop split ring resonator (OLSRR) as well as the conventional microstrip line resonator, the microstrip square OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. The VCO with 1.7V power suppIy has the phase noise of $-124.5\;{\sim}\;-122.0\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.746\;{\sim}\;5.84\;GHz$. The figure of merit (FOM) of this VCO is $-203.96\;{\sim}\;-201.6\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the same tuning range. Compared with VCO using the conventional microstrip line resonator, VCO using the microstrip square open loop resonator and VCO using microstrip square OLSRR, the phase noise property of VCO using the proposed resonator has been improved in 25.66 dB, 8.34 dB, and 4.5 dB, respectively.

This paper describes that the Q factor of a conventional $\lambda$/4-microstrip resonator with short load can be improved and also the problem that the serial-resonant frequency(2$f_o$) should be deviated from can be settled by the proposed $\lambda$/4-microstrip resonator, which is used to suppress the harmonics of a nonlinear circuit.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the microstrip square open loop dual split ring resonator is presented for reducing the phase noise. The square-shaped dual split ring resonator having the form of the microstrip square open loop is investigated to reduce the phase noise. Compared with the microstrip square open loop resonator and the microstrip square open loop split ring resonator as well as the conventional microstrip line resonator, the microstrip square dual split ring resonator has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. The VCO with 1.7V power supply has the phase noise of -123.2~-122.0 dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, 11.74~11.75 GHz. The figure of merit (FOM) of this VCO is-214.8~-221.7 dBc/Hz dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the same tuning range. Compared with VCO using the conventional microstrip line resonator, VCO using microstrip square open loop resonator, the phase noise of VCO using the proposed resonator has been improved in 26 dB, 10 dB, respectively.

We analyze the spherical-rectangular patch microstrip resonator with conformal surface by the cavity model and derive the formulas to calculate resonant frequency in the consideration of effective dielectric constant in order to minimize the errors of resonant frequency due to the fringing fields. A transmission type spherical-rectangular patch microstrip resonator operating at 3GHz, for example, is designed and fabricated on Epsilam-10 substate. Measuring data of resonant frequency and return loss are 2.985 GHz and -44.4dB respectively. Those well agreed with theoretical values.

In this paper, a novel push-push voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using microstrip square open loop resonator and tunable negative resistance is presented. The microstrip square open loop resonator has the large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced phase noise of VCO. The VCO with 1.8V power supply has phase noise of $-124.67{\sim}-122.67dBc/Hz\;@\;100 kHz$ in the tuning range, $5.744{\sim}5.859 GHz$. The FOM of this VCO is $-202.83{\sim}-201dBc/Hz\;@\;100 kHz$ in the same tuning range. When it has been compared with single-ended VCO using microstrip square open loop resonator, and push-push oscillator using microstrip line resonator, the reduced phase noise has been -8.51dB, and -33.67dB, respectively.

In this paper, two novel compact microstrip bandstop filters using complimentary split ring resonators(CSRRs) and spiral resonators is proposed. The first one is the bandstop filter using an array of CSRRs etched on the center line of a microstrip. The bandstop is due to the presence of negative effective permittivity and positive permeability near resonant frequency which prevent the wave propagation. The second on is the bandstop filter using an array of spiral resonators etched on the center line of a microstrip. The bandstop is due to the self-resonance of spiral circuit. We have achieved controllable resonance frequency and bandwidth, super compact dimension, low insertion losses in the passband and high level of rejection in the stopband with sharp cutoff. The electrical sizes of two proposed filter are very small. Additionally, they can be easily fabricated and compatible with MMIC or PCB technology.

본 논문에서는 대역통과 필터특성을 위해 통과대역의 상단과 하단의 저지대역에서 감쇄극을 갖는 두 종류의 새로운 마이크로스트립 구조를 제안한다. 이 구조는 TEM모드의 유전체 공진기를 마이크로스트립선로에 용량성 또는 유도성의 병렬 포스트와 연결하여 구성된다. 제안한 구조에 대한 등가회로를 추출하였다. 이 구조의 S-파라미터를 실험과 등가회로 시뮬레이션으로 구하였고, 그리고 유도성포스트의 경우는 3D-FDTD 계산을 추가하여 서로를 비교하였는데 등가회로 모델이 이들 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다.

The analysis of cavity-backed circular microstrip antenna is performed, based on the method of moments, and verified with experimental results. The proposed algorithm was used to analyze the return loss and radiation characteristics of antenna by the variation of each associated parameter. This result was used to provide the optimum design guideline. Finally active reflection coefficient of infinite cavity-backed microstrip away was calculated to show the effect of suppressing surface wave to eliminate scan blindness.

In this paper, a narrow-band bandpass filter using microstrip open-loop resonators with coupled and crossing lines is designed and fabricated. This filter has many advantages such as compact in size, low weight and the characteristic of the elliptic-function narrow-band bandpass filtering. The configuration consists of two identical microstrip open loop resonators, coupled line and crossing line. By using open loop resonators, the size of the filter can be reduced about 50% compared with the ring resonators. A crossing line gives two notchs in the stopband, which have sharp selectivity in the passband. Centered at 2.455GHz, the calculated microstrip bandpass filter shows a bandwidth of 1.22%, which makes it very attractive for application in the wireless LAN. The filter is fabricated by photo-etching process. The fabricated bandpass filter shows that the bandwidth is 0.85% for 2.458GHz and the size is only $2.6cm\times1cm$.

In this paper, a interdigital microstrip bandpass filter is designed. A interdigital microstrip bandpass filter has many advantages such as insertion return loss, lower return loss, higher frequency selectivity and smaller in size in comparison with the conventional coupled line filter. A interdigital microstrip bandpass filter consists of quasi TEM-mode strip line resonators between parallel ground plant. Each resonator element is a quarter wavelength long of the center frequency and is short circuited at one end and open circuited at the other end. In the filter design, Ensemble software is used. Experimental results show that the bandwidth of interdigital microstrip bandpass filter is 2.52GHz, insertion loss is -1.8dB and return loss is -17.0dB at 11.20Hz.
