In this paper, we propose a S-band oscillator with a reduced electrical size by applying a vertical split ring resonator(VSRR). The VSRR is a type of split ring resonator that operates as a resonator by the capacitance and inductance generated between the microstrip lines arranged on the top and bottom of the dielectric substrate and it has an advantage that the electrical size of the resonance circuit can be reduced as compared with the conventional ring resonator. In this paper, we design a VSRR operating over S-band and an oscillator using the VSRR as the resonant circuit. The proposed oscillator showed the output of 5.9dBm at 2.4HGz and showed the phase noise characteristics of -112.58dBc at 100KHz offset frequency and -117.85dBc at 1MHz offset.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the open loop multiple split ring resonator(OLMSRR) is presented for improving the phase noise, implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology. Compared with the conventional CMOS LC resonator, the proposed CMOS OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q-factor, and has improved the phase noise of the VCO. The proposed CMOS VCO based OLMSRR has the phase noise of -99.67 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz in the oscillation frequency. Compared with the VCO using the conventional CMOS LC resonator and the proposed VCO using the CMOS OLMSRR structure has been improved in 7 dB. The prototype 24 GHz CMOS VCO is implemented in 130 nm CMOS and occupies a compact die area of $0.7\;mm{\times}0.9\;mm$.

In this paper, a design method for a compact dual-band coplanar waveguide-fed slot antenna using SRR(split-ring resonator) conductor is studied. The SRR conductor is loaded inside a rectangular slot of the proposed antenna for dual-band operation. When the SRR conductor is inserted into the slot, the original rectangular slot is divided into a rectangular loop region and a rectangular slot region, and frequency bands are created by the loop and slot, separately. A prototype of the proposed dual-band slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz WLAN band and 3.40-5.35 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 30 mm by 30 mm. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.38-2.51 GHz and 3.32-5.38 GHz for a voltage standing wave < 2, and measured gain is 1.7 dBi at 2.45 GHz, and it ranges 2.4-3.2 dBi in the second band.

In this paper, a design method for a compact CPW-fed slot antenna using SRRs is studied. The structure of the proposed slot antenna is a rectangular slot antenna loaded with SRR conductors inside the slot to reduce the antenna size. Optimal design parameters are obtained by analyzing the effects of the gap between the SRR conductors and slot, and the width of the SRR conductors on the input VSWR characteristic. The optimized compact slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 36 mm by 30 mm. The length of the proposed compact slot antenna is reduced to 14.3% compared to that of a conventional rectangular slot antenna. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.4-2.49 GHz for a VSWR < 2, and measured gain of 2.3 dBi at 2.45 GHz.

In this paper, a design method for an enhanced-sensitivity microwave sensor based on microstrip defected ground structure was studied for the permittivity measurement of planar dielectric substrates. The proposed sensor was designed by modifying the ridge structure of an H-shaped aperture into the shape of a capacitor symbol. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor was compared with that of a conventional sensor based on a double-ring complementary split ring resonator(DR-CSRR). Two sensors were designed and fabricated on a 0.76-mm-thick RF-35 substrate so that the transmission coefficient would resonate at 1.5 GHz in the absence of the substrate under test. Five types of taconic substrates with a relative permittivity ranging from 2.17 to 10.2 were selected asthe substrate under test. Experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor, which is measured by the shift in the resonant frequency of the transmission coefficient, is 1.31 to 1.62 times higher than that of the conventional DR-CSRR-based sensor.

Based on a substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) and a complementary split ring resonator(CSRR), electrically small antennas are proposed in this paper. Antenna's electrical size is reduced by introducing both CSRR and the eighth-mode substrate integrated waveguide(EMSIW). The EMSIW occupies only 12.5 % of the conventional SIW at the same dominant resonant frequency. In addition, the resonant frequency of the antenna is varied by rotating the CSRR on the EMSIW while keeping the same radiation patterns. The resonant frequency is changed from 4.74 GHz to 5.07 GHz by varying orientation of the CSRR from 0 to 360 degree. Unidirectional radiation patterns are observed and the measured peak gains are from 4.50 to 5.92 dBi.

A highly sensitive integrated photonic temperature sensor was proposed and developed incorporating a polymeric microring resonator. The change in the ambient temperature was estimated by observing the shift in the resonant wavelength of the resonator induced via the thermooptic effect. For the purpose of enhancing its sensitivity, the sensor was built by implementing a polymeric resonator exhibiting a high thermooptic coefficient on a silicon substrate with a small coefficient of thermal expansion. For the range of from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ near the room temperature, the fabricated sensor yielded a sensitivity of as high as 165 ${\pm}/^{\circ}C$ and a resolution of better than $0.1^{\circ}C$. And its performance was found to be hardly affected by the variation in the refractive index of the target analyte, which was applied to the surface of the sensor. It is hence expected that the sensor could be integrated with other refractormetric optical sensors, thereby compensating for the fatal error caused by the change in the ambient temperature.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the dielectric constant of a planar substrate is proposed. To this end, a band-stop filter was created by adding a H-shaped resonant aperture to the ground plane of a microstrip transmission line. A planar substrate of 2 mm thickness was placed behind the ground plane of the microstrip transmission line and the change of the resonant frequency with the change of the dielectric constant of the substrate was investigated. It can be seen that the change ratio of the frequency to the reference resonant frequency is larger than that of the conventional complementary split ring resonator structure.
