In this paper, we present a compact triple-mode resonator. The resonator itself can provide three transmission poles and one transmission zero. The resonance condition of each mode is analyzed theoretically, and the transmission zero is generated by open stub. Using this proposed resonator, a compact three pole bandpass filter for 2.4 GHz WLAN application with one transmission zero is designed and fabricated. The fabricated triple-mode filter shows 3 dB bandwidth of 15.8 % with the center frequency 2.4 GHz and less then 1.17 dB in 2.4~2.5 GHz passband. The size of fabricated triple-mode filter including the feed lines is 15.9 mm${\times}$9.7 mm and very compact compared with previous reported triple-mode filter.

This paper proposes a low phase noise ring voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with a standard $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process for PLL circuit using the VCO-gain-controlled Delay cell. The proposed Delay cell architecture with a active resistor using a MOS transistor. This method can reduced a VCO gain so that improve phase noise. And, Delay cell consist of Wide-Swing Cascode current mirror, Positive Latch and Symmetric load for low phase noise. The measurement results demonstrate that the phase noise is -119dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from 1.9GHz. The VCO gain and power dissipation are 440MHz/V and 9mW, respectively.

This paper fabricated and analyzed the image rejection mixer that uses FET's channel resistance. It can be applied for capacity 64QAM that has 50MHz~90MHz of IF band, 8.17GHz of LO frequency and 8.08~8.12GHz of RF band. When IF input power is -20dBm and LO input power is 10dBm, RF output power is obtained -33.2dBm. In this case, conversion loss is 12.9dB, the suppression of 14.3dB for LO frequency and 10.4dB for image frequency. The result of two tone test shows great IMD characteristics with 51.7dBc.

This paper was studied the tri-band folded monopole antenna design with Mu-negative metamaterial unit cell, which operates at 700 MHz UHD broadcast band and 2.45 GHz/5 GHz WiFi band. The MNR metamaterial is fabricated by forming a capacitor on the backside of the antenna substrate and connecting it to the ground plane through a strip line and a via hole so that a single cell can operate in the MZR (Mu zero resonator). Through this, the resonance point can be controlled to resonate in the zero mode in 700 MHz band, and the bandwidth is improved. Experimental results show that the 10dB bandwidth and gain are 309 MHz (41.2%) and 5.298 dB at the first resonance point, and the 10dB bandwidth and gain at the second resonance point are 821.9 MHz (33.5%) and 2.7840 dB respectively. At the third resonance point, the gain and bandwidth were 1.1314 GHz (20.6%) and 2.9484 dB respectively. We confirmed that the resonance point with theoretical value is in agreement with experimental value. And the radiation pattern is generally omnidirectional, and it has been confirmed that the radiation pattern is good in both forward and backward directions at 0.75 GHz and 2.45 GHz, and has a radiation pattern with multiple lobes at 5.5 GHz.

In this paper, we proposed an ultra-low power low noise amplifier(LNA) using a TSMC 0.18 ${\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. To satisfy the low power consumption with high gain, a current-reused technique is utilized. In addition, a low bias voltage in the subthreshold region is utilized to achieve ultra low power characteristic. The designed LNA has the voltage gain of 13.8 dB and noise figure(NF) of 3.4 dB at 2.4 GHz. The total power consumption of the designed LNA is only 0.63 mW from 0.9 V supply voltage and chip occupies $1.1\;mm{\times}0.8\;mm$ area.

This paper presents a wide range VCO with fine coarse tuning step using a sigma-delta modulation technique for UWB frequency synthesizer. The proposed coarse tuning scheme provides the low effective frequency resolution without any degradation of phase noise performance. With three steps coarse tuning, the VCO has wide tuning range and fine tuning step simultaneously. The frequency synthesizer with VCO was implemented with 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The tuning range of the VCO is 5.8 GHz~6.8 GHz with the effective frequency resolution of 3.9 kHz. It achieves the measured phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and a tuning range 16.8 % with 5.9 mW power. The figure-of-merit with the tuning range is -181.5 dBc/Hz.

We demonstrate binary spectral phase coded waveform discrimination at 10 GHz for narrow band optical code-division multiple-access (NB-OCDMA) via direct electrical detection without using any optical hard-limiter. Only 9 phase-locked, 10 GHz spaced, spectral lines within a 100 GHz spectral window are used for the phase coding. Considerably high contrast ratio of 5 between signal and multiuser access interference noise can be achieved for $4{\times}10\;G\;pulse/sec$ timing coordinated OCDMA at a simple electrical receiver with 50 GHz bandwidth.

In this paper, a broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna operating at 10.525 GHz band was proposed. The proposed broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna consists of three narrow rectangular patches. At the center of the center patch, two symmetrical side patches were connected by a strip conductor and were arranged with their centers shifted in a perpendicular direction with respect to the center patch. For performance comparison, a conventional inset-fed square microstrip patch antenna was designed. Experiment results show that the frequency band of the measured input reflection coefficient with a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2 for the broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna was 10.036-11.051 GHz (9.63%), whereas that for the conventional inset-fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna was 10.306-10.772 GHz (4.42%). Therefore, the input reflection coefficient frequency bandwidth of the fabricated broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna was increased by 2.18 times, compared to the conventional inset-fed square microstrip patch antenna.
