In this paper, a design method for a ultra-wideband printed semi-circular-shaped dipole antenna operating in the band of 1-15 GHz is studied. The effects of the gap between the two arms of the semi-circular-shaped dipole and the radius of the semi-circle on the input reflection coefficient and gain characteristics are examined to obtain the optimal design parameters. The optimized printed semi-circular-shaped dipole antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and the experimental results show that the antenna has a desired extremely wideband characteristic with a frequency band of 1-15 GHz (175%) for a VSWR < 2.

A high-performance wideband transition from double-sided parallel-stripline (DSPSL) to coplanar stripline (CPS) is proposed. This transition is designed by consideration of gradual field transformation and optimal impedance matching between DSPSL and CPS. Clear design guidelines of proposed transition are provided to determine the ground shape and the transition length. The fabricated transition exhibits less than 0.7 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 6.2 to 18.2 GHz, and less than 1.25 dB insertion loss to over 30 GHz.

In this paper, a new carrier complex power series which represents nonlinear transfer function of high power amplifier is derived. Using this transfer function, the nonlinear transfer function of predistortive circuit for linearizing the distortion effect of a HPA(High Power Amplifier) is derived and fabricated. A measured gain and $P_{1dB}$ of the fabricated HPA in IMT-2000 basestation transmitting band are 34.06 dB and 35.4 dBm. The predistortive circuit using inverse carrier complex power series is fabricated and operated with HPA. The predistortive HPA improves C/I(Carrier to Intermodulation) ratio of HPA by 17.01 dB(@Pout=25.43 dBm/tone) with 2-tone at 2.1375 GHz and 2.1425 GHz.

We demonstrate a beat frequency-Switchable dual-mode external cavity laser hybrid integrated on planar lightwave circuit with an FP-LD and a sampled grating as external reflector. The dual-mode external avity laser was able to switch its beat frequency from 132GHz to 406GHz by changing LD current from 50mA to 55mA.

In this paper, an asymmetric compact multiband slot antenna is proposed for global positioning system (GPS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), and wireless area network (WLAN) applications. The top plane, a ground is composed of a rectangular slot with a trapezoidal-like stub, an inverted U-shaped slot at the right side of the rectangular slot, an inverted L-shaped slot at the left side of the rectangular slot, and three stubs. The proposed antenna is fed by an asymmetric cross-parasitic strip on the bottom plane. By properly designing the slots and stubs, four resonant frequency bands are achieved with -10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of 50 MHz, 400 MHz, 390 MHz, and 830 MHz in the 1.57 GHz GPS band, 2.4 GHz WLAN band, 3.5 GHz WiMAX band, and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands, respectively. The antenna has a total compact size of $13mm{\times}32mm{\times}0.8mm$. Simulated and measured results indicate that the proposed antenna has sufficient bandwidth and good radiation performance in each band.

An integrated photonic K-band microwave bandpass filter has been proposed and demonstrated by incorporating a polymeric ring resonator. Its transfer characteristics were adjusted by shilling the resonance wavelength of the ring resonator via the thermooptic effect. The achieved performance of the filter includes the center frequency of 20 GHz, the attenuation of ${\sim}15dB$, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the corresponding quality factor of 10. The microwave output power within the passband of the device was adjusted at the rate of about 6.7 dB/mW in the range of 27 dB. This kind of device with electrically controllable transfer characteristics can be applied to implement microwave switches and other devices.

We designed a biconical antenna with sleeve baluns that exhibited an improved radiation pattern from 3-40 GHz. In the antenna, the edges of the ring of the upper cone are blended to a cylinder. Sleeve baluns operating at specific frequencies are connected to the antenna to minimize leakage currents on the surface of the feeding coaxial cable. The radiation pattern was improved with the sleeve baluns, and the angular 3-dB beamwidth ranged from 67.1-101.1° over 3-40 GHz, which is much broader than the 21-99° of the conventional antenna.
