In this paper, a VCDRO(Voltage Control Dielectirc Resonator Oscillator) for signal source of doppler radar system is designed and fabricated. The proposed VCDRO is made with new tuning mechanism using CPW line. The coplanar waveguide of $\lambda_{g}$/2 in length with varactor diode is placed on the metallization side under the dielectric resonator and coupled to it. Tuning varactor diode is mounted at one end of the CPW. The proposed circuit tuned by a CPW allows one more varactor diode to be mounted on the optimized CPW, where a greater sensitivity of frequency tuning is needed. With varying the biasing voltage for the varactor diode from 0 V to 15 V, output frequency tuning of 12 MHz is obtained. The PLDRO exhibits output power of 16.5 dBm with phase noise in the phase locked state characteristic of -115 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, -105 dBc/Hz at the 10 kHz, and -102 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz offset from 10.525 GHz , respectively.

본 논문에서는 접지면에 형성된 디펙트를 갖는 전송선로 구조인 DGS 등가회로도의 식각된 접지면에 바랙터 다이오드를 접합시켜, 그 영향을 살펴 보았다. 제시된 DGS는 아령 모양의 디펙트로 하였으며, 칩 형태의 집중소자인 인덕터와 캐패시터로 바이어스 회로를 구현하였다. 바랙터 다이오드의 DC 전압 인가에 따른 C값의 변화를 통해서 전송선로의 임피던스를 변화 시켰다. 이에 따른, 가변 전송선로의 파라미터를 추출하고, 구조 및 특성에 관하여 연구하였다.

마이크로파 능동필터는 RF 시스템에서 주목받고 있는 SoC(System on Chip) 기술을 위한 필터의 집적화 기술로 매우 활발한 연구가 수행되어지고 있다. chip상에서의 마이크로파 대역에서의 능동필터는 기판의 손실로 인한 공진기의 Q값 저하를 능동소자를 이용하여 보상하여 협대역 필터의 구현을 가능하게 할 뿐만 아니라, 바랙터 다이오드나 PIN 다이오드을 회로에 적용하여 가변 필터의 구현도 가능하게 되어 시스템의 유연성이 높은 SDR (Soft-wave Defined Radio)등에도 적용될 수 있는 분야로 각광을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 본 고에서는 마이크로파 능동 필터에 대한 분류와 회로의 구조 연구 동향에 대해 살펴본다.

This paper describes performance data and design information on a reflection-type analog phase shifter used in Ka-band. Arranging a couple of GaAs hyperabrupt junction varactor diode parallel in a circuit, and applying reactance matching method accordingly, it is possible to 831 a large the phase shift. Design equation is formulated theoretically. Since the assembly process is important in Ka-band, this paper also includes the assembly process that is essential to minimize the generation of parasitic elements during the assembly process. It is obtained variable phase shift 220$^{\circ}$${\pm}$7$^{\circ}$ and insertion loss 5 dB${\pm}$1 dB as a measured result larger than the existing figure in Ka-band.

In this paper, we propose a varactor-diodeless voltage-controlled oscillator operating at X-band, and verify the possibility of applying to a receiver for microwave radar signal detection applications. The proposed VCO is realized by only single RF BJT device as a varactor diode is substitued by a intrinsic collector-base PN-junction of the active device which is used to generate negative resistance. The fabricated VCO meets the specification of the receiver, which has a 11.20~11.75 GHz tuning bandwidth with respect to the tuning voltage, 1.0~7.0 V, output power of 9.0~12.0 dBm and linear frequency tuning performance.

In this paper, a X band voltage controlled oscillator is proposed. The oscillator uses a transistor as an oscillating element and its oscillating frequencies are controlled by the tuning voltage of varactor diode. Using the circuit simulation tools, the matching circuits between the transistor and varactor diode, its input and output matching circuits, and a feedback circuits are designed. The measured results of the fabricated oscillator show that its oscillation frequencies are from 10.50GHz to 10.88GHz according to the turning voltages of 1V to 18V, its output power levels are about 4.3dBm, and its phase noise is around -43.5dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset frequency of 10.5GHz.

In this paper, we propose a design method of the millimeter-wave(W-Band) waveguide cavity harmonic voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) using a Gunn diode for the armor sensor. Using the 3-dimensional simulation tool(Ansoft $HFSS^{TM}$), we were able to find the impedance matching point between waveguide and Gunn diode and estimate the oscillation frequency. A varactor diode is used for the frequency tuning, and we find out the equation for the calculation of the tunable frequency range. The designed VCO shows good performances; 17dBm output power at 94GHz center frequency, 520MHz frequency tuning range similar to the estimated value(480MHz).

In this paper, the reconfigurable frequency selective surface for C-band was designed using patch array and grid structure. Frequency reconfigurability was obtained by varying the capacitance from varactor diode. From the optimized design parameters, we fabricated the reconfigurable frequency selective surface using the FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) and commercial varactor diode and measured the frequency reconfigurability for different bias voltage. From the measurement results, proposed structure has the wideband operating frequency of 6.6~7.6 GHz. We can applied this proposed structure to the smooth curved surface like as radome of aircraft or warship.

A varactor diode was utilized in order to expand variable range of the natural oscillation frequency of an active phased-array antenna. We have conformed experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency was expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When frequency difference was given to the oscillators in the two elements antenna system, phase difference was appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 5-elements patch antenna array was composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas showed good phased array characteristics. The experimental results are as follows that the scanning angle of the 2-elements array antenna is 28.6$^{\circ}$, the 3-elements array antenna is 29.4$^{\circ}$, and the 5-elements array antenna is 26.2$^{\circ}$.
