연성 PCB(flexible printed circuit board)는 현재 노트북 PC와 디지털 카메라등에 적용되며, 굴곡성이 강하고 소형화 및 조립에 용이하여 주로 기판 사이나주기판과 외부 커넥터사이에 데이터의 전송매체로써 널리 사용되는 핵심부품이다. 근래에 개발되는 PCB 기반의 고성능 신호처리회로들은 데이터 전송율이 수백 MHz에서 수 GHz에 이르고 있으며, 신호선과 유전체, 접지판의 구조적 특성에 따라서, 반사 효과와 같은 신호무결성 문제들이 파생되어 신호의 최대성능을 제한하게된다. 이에 따라 적절한 임피던스 제어를 통하여 고성능신호들의 왜곡을 상쇄시키는 기술이 중요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 연성 PCB 전송라인을 위한 임피던스 모델을 대상으로 각 모델의 주요 특징 및 정확성을 분석하였다. 연성 PCB의 전송라인은 보통 전통적인 마이크로스트립 라인의 특성 임피던스 모델에 비해 신호선의 너비가 크며, 이를 반영한 개선된 수학적 임피던스 모델들이 제안되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존의 마이크로스트립 전송라인과 연성 PCB 전송라인에 적합한 수학적 모델들을 이용하여 신호 무결성 문제를 모의할 수 있는 CAE(computer-aided engineering) 도구의 임피던스 측정 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다.

In this paper, a S-band coaxial waveguide-based spatial combiner is proposed. The proposed combiner consists of coaxial waveguide, impedance transformer, and finline-to-microstrip transformer. The coaxial waveguide is used as the host of the combining circuits for higher output power and better uniformity by equally distributing the input power to each element. The finline-to-microstrip transformer is designed by using antipodal antenna, and obtained low reflection coefficient by applying the small reflection theorem. The measurement results show the coaxial waveguide combiner has a maximum combining efficiency of 95%.

Improvement of phase noise characteristics in a different approach of HEMT VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with coupled microstrip lines to tune the oscillating frequency is investigated. Two HEMT VCOs of 9.8GHz are manufactured in the same configuration except for the frequency tuning circuit in order to empirically demonstrate the phase noise reduction. Experimental result shows that phase noise reduction can be enhanced 8dBc/Hz at 100KHz offset frequency from carrier by frequency tuning circuit with coupled microstrip lines over the conventional VCO.

In this paper, TX/RX dual operation microstrip single antenna for satellite communication is designed, analyzed, fabricated and measured. TX/RX frequency ranges are 14.0∼l4.5 GHz, 11.7∼12.75 GHz in respectively and vertical and horizontal polarizations are used for TX and RX. This antenna uses microstrip direct feeding for RX and aperture coupled strip-line feeding for TX and accommodates stacked elements for a high directivity and wide impedance bandwidth. In an analysis of single element, FDTD and MOM was compared and FDTD analysis was more accurate because of the consideration of finite structure and imperfect two ground planes. The proposed structure facilitates generally to an extension of two dimensional array and lower an unwanted radiation by strip-line feed in TX. TX/RX 8${\times}$4 array has a return loss below -10 dB, -14 dB in TX, RX respectively and a gain ranging from 19.1∼20.7 dB in TX, 21.2∼21.8 dB in RX which has a radiation efficiency of 43∼5l %, 52∼57 %.

The main advantage of the TLM analysis method is the ease with which even the most complicated transmission line structures. In this paper, using symmetrical condensed node(SCN), the TLM numerical technique has been successfully a lied to microstrip meander line. A detailed technique of the symmetrical condensed node(SCN) may be used to model planar microstrip transmission line is presented. Also, the S-parameters $S_{11}$ and $S_{21}$ of two types of microstrip meander line have been computed. From obtained results, TLM analysis is shown to be an efficient method for modeling complicated structure of planar microstrip transmission line. The TLM results presented here are useful in the design of microwave integrated circuits at higher frequencies region.

In this paper, developed study about isolator that after design and optimizes center strip to use 3-D simulator. We use the factor about the change and propose simple mode of the simulation. Design strip line that center frequency is 1.85 GHz by software that use 3-D finite element method(FEM) and confirmed variable. Developed isolator were shown that more than isolation 25 dB, reflection loss has the more than 25 dB and insertion loss does not 0.2 dB. We could confirm that compare with simulation and manufacture sample propertied agrees more than 90 %.

This paper presents a power detector circuit which monitors the transmitting power for the application in CDMA cell phones. The proposed power detector are composed of coupler for coupling output power and detector fur monitoring output power. The designed coupler has low loss characteristic because it adopts the stripline structure which consists of two ground planes at both sides of signal plane. The design frequency is 824-849MHz which is the Tx band fur CDMA mobile terminal, and the coupling factor of the stripline coupler is -20dB. A schottky barrier diode is adopted for detector design because of its high speed operation with minimized loss. The required impedance matching is performed to improve the linearity and sensitivity of output voltage at relatively low detector input level where the nonlinear characteristic of diode exists. The package parasitics as well as intrinsic diode model are considered for simulation of the detector. The predicted performances agree well with the measured results.

We proposed an eccentric annular ring microstrip slot antenna for improving a narrow bandwidth of the conventional annular ring microstip slot antenna. The proposed antenna has an asymmetric slot and a normal microstrip feedline. This antenna is analyzed and optimized by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impedance bandwidth of the optimized antenna is more than 1 octave that is much broader than the conventional annular ring microstrip slot antenna for the same size.

Magnetic hysteresis loops of a nickel strip and a Fe-Co alloy strip, which have been used in magnetostrictive strip type guided wave transducers for long range ultrasonic testing of pipelines, were measured and then magnetic property effects of a strip on transducer sensitivity were analyzed. The sensitivity of an optimized Fe-Co strip transducer was superior to that of the nickel strip transducer by a factor of about 30. It was shown that this was mainly attributed to the differences in remanence magnetization and coercivity of the two magnetostrictive materials.
