Since phase noise is one of the most important parameters in the design of microwave oscillators, several methods have been proposed to reduce the phase noise. These methods have focused on improving the quality factor of resonators, which result in low phase noise oscillators. Dielectric resonators have been widely used for low phase noise in microwave oscillators due to their high quality factor. However this cannot be used in MMIC oscillators because they have a 3D structure. In this paper, to overcome this problem a novel resonator using open ring type DGS is proposed for improvement of phase noise characteristics that is weak point of oscillator using planar type microstrip line resonator, and oscillator for 5.8GHz band is designed using proposed DGS resonator. The open ring type DGS resonator is composed of DGS cell etched on ground plane under $50{\Omega}$ microstrip line. At the fundamental frequency of 5.8GHz, 6.1dBm output power and -82.7 dBc@100kHz phase noise have been measured for oscillator with ring type DGS resonator. The phase noise characteristics of oscillator is improved about 96.5dB compared to one using the general ${\lambda}/4$ microstrip resonator.

$Y_{3}Fe_{5}O_{12}$ based garnet films(thin or thick) offer a great promise for the application of microwave communication components. We investigated the magnetic and crystallographic preperties of $Y_{3}Fe_{5}O_{12}$ thick films prepared by KrF eximer laser ablation of a stoichiometric garnet target. It was possible to obtain almost epitaxially oriented films on $Al_{2}O_{3}$(1102) plane. Although the crystalline quality depends on substrate temperature and $O_{2}$ partial pressure used($Po_{2}$), 4.1m thick films of $4{\pi}M_{s}=1300$ Gauss and $H_{c}=37.5$ Oe were obtained at the substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ with the $Po_{2}$ of 100 mTorr after annealing the as-deposited films at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. These films are expected to be used for magnetostatic spin wave filters at narrow bandwidth frequency.

This paper presents the system design, implement, and measurement results of the testbed for the wireless RF energy harvesting system. The developed testbed can be used for RF power transfer and data communication using the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz frequency bands. It allows to evaluate the system performances for the RF power and data transmission. The testbed can also be used to develop algorithms for efficient energy harvesting.

In this paper, the accurate characterization of the input impedance of a rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity is presented using mode matching method and the equivalent transmission line theory. By the proposed method, the input impedance of rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity as a function of the radius and height of the post, the reflection coefficient of the other discontinuity, and the distance between the post and the other discontinuity is calculated. The simulated result shows good agreement with the experimental result by Marcuvitz.

In this paper, it is designed mobile communication base station module type bandpass filter which is recently used coplanar waveguide in many way because of structural merit. Using Conductor-Backed Coplanar waveguide of Itoh, it is determined the value of impedance which had capable impedance value with selected H in 2.4 and proved the impedance of each sections. It use the commensurate line of $\lambda$/4, fixed a space of between two ground line and calculated the width of signal line. Because designed filter less than microstrip filter in space, it obtained excellent characteristic of 15dB throughout all passband and sharp cut-off characteristic.

A MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) switch chip using InGaAs/GaAs p-HEMT process has been designed for MSM(Microwave Switch Matrix) of satellite communication system. An absorptive type MMIC switch is adopted for good reflection coefficients performances of input and output ports at both on and off states. And, a quarter wavelength impedance transformer is realized with lumped elements of MIM capacitor and spiral inductor for 3 GHz band to reduce the chip size. This MMIC switch covers the frequency range of $3.2\~3.6\;GHz$. According to the on-wafer measurement, the fabricated MMIC switch with miniature size of $1.6\;mm{\times}1.3\;mm$ demonstrates insertion loss below 2 dB and isolation above 56.8 dB, and the performance coincides with simulation results.

In this paper, the MMIC SPST switches operating from DC to 3GHz were designed and implemented. Prior to the design of switches, the small and large-signal switch models were needed to predict switch performance accurately. The newly proposed small-signal switch model parameters were extracted from measured S-parameters using optimization technique with estimated initial values and boundary limits. In the extraction of large-signal switch model parameters, the current source was modeled by fitting empirical equations to measured DC data and the charge model was derived from extracted channel capacitances from measured S-parameters varying the drain-source voltage. To design basic series-shunt SPST switches and isolation-improved SPST switches, we applied this model to commercial microwave circuit simulator. The improved SPST switches exhibited 0.302dB insertion loss, 35.762dB isolation, 1.249 input VSWR, 1.254 output VSWR, and about 15.7dBm PldB with 0/-3V control voltages at 3GHz.

A voltage controlled attenuator using a PIN diode and two resistors of the $\pi$-type fixed attenuator is described in this paper. The proposed variable attenuator operating for a fixed attenuation range has a good input VSWR and a low intermodulation signal. For the low phase shift, a PIN diode is connected with open stub for the purpose of phase compensation. The stub for phase compensation is calculated by the Deloach method and the related circuit theory. This attenuator is easily fabricated on the microstrip and can be normally used in fine control circuits within small attenuation range. The fabricated attenuator for 2110~2170 MHz frequency band has about 4 dB of an attenuation range, $2^{\circ}$ of phase variance, and -20 dB of S11 according to the input voltage from 0 to 2.7 V.

The research of amplifier have been actively conducted to replace the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) in the mmWave. For Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), which combine semiconductor-type devices to obtain high output, Low-loss, high-efficiency combination techniques are required to meet the required output as the output of a single relatively low device is relatively low. In this paper, we design and produce an 8-way waveguide combiner and a reflective loss of more than 20dB and a binding efficiency of 85% or more were identified. Field analysis calculates the critical power inside the combiner. It secured stable Power Ratings and built-in coupler for power monitoring to achieve miniaturization and light weight.

MIMO antenna is a field in which various researches have been actively conducted for a long time, and its design concept is universally well known. However, Unlike conventional MIMO antennas, MIMO antennas for autonomous driving radars, which have recently been attracting attention, are designed in W-band which is a millimeter wave band, and must also meet novel design conditions to satisfy the performance of autonomous driving radars. Therefore, a novel and different approach is required for the design and beam pattern verification of the MIMO antenna for autonomous driving radar. In this paper, a MIMO antenna is designed and the design process to satisfy the conditions of a W-band autonomous driving radar is introduced, and proposes a beam pattern verification method for a W-band MIMO antenna mounted on an autonomous driving radar system.
