In this paper, two-stage low noise amplifier(LNA) for 24GHz is designed and fabricated using NE450284C HJ-FET of NEC CO. In order to get noise figure and input VSWR to be wanted, it is considered input VSWR and noise figure simultaneously in matching-circuit designing. The fabricated two-stage low noise amplifier has the gain of 16.6dB, input VSWR of 1.6, and output VSWR under 1.5.

For the base station or repeater which is in operation as part of a mobile communication system, any kind of degradation in antenna performance such as lowered gam or increased VSWR which maybe due to aging of antenna, connector corrosion or other environmental factors, is difficult to detect and react to immediately. In this paper, a VSWR measurement device which is capable of detecting the VSWR of a PCS forward path ($1,840\~1,870$MHz) antenna in operation in real time without any interruption in service is developed. Such regular measurement will allow the prediction of any serious failures and insure reliable operation of the antenna. All components of the antenna VSWR measurement device was researched so that the whole system could be produced and shown to be accurate in measuring the YSWR of an actual RF repeater in operation, proving it's effectiveness.

In this paper, it is designed a new type single layer patch antenna which is printed on a very thin film and separated from the ground-plane by foam with a low permitivity of 1.06 and a high thickness of around quarter wavelength. It allows the use of three-dimensional transition, from one level to another, so that its bandwidth can be enhanced by wideband impedance matching. The radiation pattern, return loss, and VSWR of the antenna are calculated using "IE3D" simulation package, and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the bandwidth is about 65% of center frequency 6.8 GHz, return loss and VSWR are in a fairly good agreement with the calculations.culations.

In this study, we have fabricated 9.385[GHz] circulator that is composed of WR112 waveguide and Ferrite for X-band radar. For designing Ferrite, B/R mode(Below Resonance mode) was used and calculated the condition of 120 degree rotation of the electric field in Ferrite and calculated internal DC magnetic field and external DC magnetic field. Also, dielectric materials of the same shape with Ferrite was filled between two Ferrite for improving the performance of the circulator, including impedance matching, bandwidth, quality factor, insertion loss. To obtain optimum shape of the Ferrite and dielectric material, we used CST MWS. Simulation result of the circulator is that 1.02 : 1 VSWR, -40dB isolation, 0.2dB insertion loss and measurement result is that 1.03 : 1, -38dB, 1.2dB at 9.385[GHz]. We can get good agreement at isolation and VSWR, but insertion loss was 1 dB great than simulation result.

A three-stage low noise amplifier(LNA) for the Base-station of the IMT-2000 is designed and implemented. In the first stage, a GaAs HJt-FET which has good noise characteristics is made use of. Monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMICS) are used in the second and the third stage to achieve both the high gain and high output power. Although the balanced amplifier is used to reduce the input VSWR, it is done only in the first stage because we have to minimize the noise figure attributed to the phase difference of the balanced amplifier. It is shown that the implemented LNA has the gai over 39.74dB, the gain flatness less than ±0.4dB, the noise figure below 0.97dB, input and output VSWRs less than 1.2, and OIP₃(output third order intercept point) of 38.17dBm in the operating frequency range.

In this paper, small WLAN antenna was designed and investigated. Proposed antenna was configured for microstrip patch antenna ($29mm{\times}29mm$) that was mounted on RF4 dielectric substrate (relative permittivity 4.4, thick 1.6mm, tangent loss 0.025) with $45mm{\times}45mm$. In order to obtain a wide band characteristic, the cutting process was 3.2mm diagonal corners of the patch antenna located on the top of the substrate. Antenna feeding position for 50 ohm impedance matching was decided to be 5.1mm at the central axis in the horizontal direction. As a result, frequency bandwidth satisfying the condition of VSWR<2dB was 2.365-2.45GHz (85MHz, 3.53%) for considering WLAN.

In this paper, we proposed the directional coupler using two layer microstrip substrate which is improved coupling and isolation. Modified two-layer directional coupler is the structure which is added to the one-layer on the signal line and located the floating conductor on the added layer. Also, we applied the aperture on the ground plane in order to enhancing the coupling value, and located the conductor in order to enhancing the isolation and VSWR according to S$_{11}$. As a result, proposed two-layer directional coupler has about 2 dB more higher coupling and 20 dB more higher isolation than conventional couplerer
