A new compact UWB bandpass filter with sharp-rejection and low insertion-loss is designed in this paper, using the parallel transmission line with SIR structure. An Example filter is firstly theoretically designed by the proposed synthesis procedure, the optimized by EM simulator, fabricated in microstrip line and finally characterized by a network analyzer. A good agreement between the simulation results and prototype validates the proposed UWB bandpass filter. The designed filter also realized a sharp rejection of higher order with a relatively small size which is proper for the UWB communication system.

In this paper, in order to support the peak current limiting function depending on the intensity of the fault current at the early stage of failure, a two magnetically coupled type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is proposed, which includes high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) element 1, where the existing primary and secondary coils are connected to one iron core in parallel, and HTSC element 2, which is connected to the tertiary winding using an additional iron core. The results of the experiments in this study confirmed that the two magnetic coupling type SFCL having coil 1 and coil 2 connected in parallel using dual iron cores is capable of having only HTSC element 1 support the burden of the peak current when a failure occurs. The reason for this is that although HTSC element 1 was quenched and malfunctioned because the instantaneous factor of the initial fault current was large, the current flowing to coil 3 did not exceed the critical current, which would otherwise cause HTSC element 2 to be quenched and not function. In order to limit the peak current upon fault through the sequential HTSC elements, the design should allow it to have the same value as the low value of coil 1 while having coil 3 possess a higher self-inductance value than coil 2. In addition, a short-circuit simulation experiment was conducted to examine and validate the current limiting and recovery characteristics of the SFCL when the winding ratio between coil 1 and coil 2 was 0.25. Through the analysis of the short-circuit tests, the current limiting and recovery characteristics in the case of the additive polarity winding was confirmed to be superior to that of the subtractive polarity winding.

A radius of ring resonator is determined by the resonant frequency. Resonant frequencies of resonators with the circumference which is integer times of wave length are not same the expected. In this paper, we suggest the design method of a ring resonator with coupling gap, which has the resonant frequency of desire. The equation which can make reduction of the radius of the resonators depending on the gap space is derived by the method of transmission line analysis. The criterion is suggested to determine the radius of the resonator in accordance with relative permittivity. A ring resonator by the proposed method is as small as one-third of basic ring in size and it has the resonant frequency of desire. T-type coupling line is designed to obtain large attenuation of $S_{11}$ at pass-band. These coupling line capacitances are very lower than the gap capacitances, it does not affect the resonant frequency.

This paper introduces a new type push-push harmonic dielectric resonator oscillator. Proposed oscillators are utilized by HDRO(Harmonic Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) which are combined in push-push structure. As a result, fundamental signal suppression ratio and output power of harmonic signal has been improved. The increase of phase noise is compensated by improving coupling characteristic between resonator and parallel microstrip line. The proposed push-push HDRO shows the output power of 9.32 dBm, the fundamental signal suppression of -47.2 dBc and phase noise of -99.86 dBc at 100 kHz offset frequency and 18.7 GHz center frequency.

In this paper, a multiple antenna system for next generation mobile applications is proposed. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two parallel folded monopole antennas with the length of 100 mm and spacing of 6 mm and a decoupling network which locates at the top side of a mobile handset. In order to improve the isolation characteristic at the LTE band 13, a decoupling network was added between the two antenna elements placed close to each other. The decoupling network, consisting of two transmission lines, a shunt reactive component and common ground line, is simple and compact. To obtain the wide bandwidth characteristic, an wide folded patch structure generating the strong coupling between feeding and shorting lines through the slit is used at the bottom side of a mobile handset. Also, the performance of a multiple antenna system composed of three antenna elements is analyzed.

In this paper, we present the design procedure of BPF(Band Pass Filter) for the suppression of LO(Local Oscillator) harmonics. The required suppression at given harmonics is the key issues in such a filter design, while the bandwidth and the suppression of the unwanted signals are more important in the conventional RF filter design. In LO filter design the bandwidth is used for the minimization of the insertion loss for the desired signal. In addition, we propose the novel tuning procedure based on Momentum to consider the unknown parasitic effects, which usually are not included in the circuit design step and results in undesirable and frustrating tuning after fabrication.
