This paper presents a new reflectarray antenna capable with 1-bit switchable capability for W-band beamforming network. The proposed antenna has been optimized using two unit-cells with sizes of 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm to form a total number of 193 radiating elements on a square aperture surface of length 30 mm. These radiating elements are spaced 0.5 wavelengths apart and fed by a 15 dBi pyramidal horn antenna as the feed antenna placed 53 mm away from the aperture center. The proposed reflectarray achieves a realized peak gain of 22.52 dBi, a half-power beamwidth of 5.1° in both E- and H-planes at the test frequency of 80 GHz and operates over a wide bandwidth from 74 GHz to 90 GHz.

We have developed a measurement system with which harmful radio noise can be detected. It was designed to cover 1GHz band width centered at l.5GHz and 22.2GHz ($H_2O$ line).The system consists of pyramid horn antennas, receivers, equatorial tracking system, spectrum analyzer, and PC for the control of the servo and data taking. As a test of the system, the site of Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) was investigated to see if there is any harmful radio interference. It is found that in 22GHz band there is no significant radio noise, but there are identified and unidentified artificial radio signals in 1-2GHz range. However a simple calculation of radiation power shows that it is week enough not to affect the observations in TRAO.

In this paper, a microstrip-fed triple-band antenna for WLAN system with microstrip lines was designed, fabricated and measured. The proposed antenna is composed of two strip lines and slit in the ground plane and then designed in order to get triple band characteristics. We carried out simulation on $L_3$, $L_{10}$, and slit parameters, and adjusted the parameters of the proposed antenna to satisfy the required frequency band and bandwidth. The proposed antenna is made of $32.0{\times}44.0{\times}1.0mm$ and is fabricated on the permittivity 4.4 FR-4 substrate. The experiment results shows that the proposed antenna obtained the -10 dB impedance bandwidth 120 MHz (890 MHz~1.01 MHz), 440 MHz (2.35~2.79 GHz), and 1,280 MHz (5.07~6.35 GHz) covering the triple WLAN bands. Also, the measured gain and radiation patterns characteristics of the proposed antenna are presented at required frequency band, respectively.

In this paper, we designed bluetooth module using 2.4 GHz ISM band. Bluetooth is wireless networking solution that connects PDA, cellular phone, printer, PC, etc each other. We integrated digital and RF part in one module. As a result, we can make low power consumption module that enables long battery life. In addition, we enlarged maximum available range of our module from 10m to l00m. This module satisfies bluetooth specification 1.0.

This paper proposes an antenna that is located outside the PCB substrate of an electronic product to enable wireless communication in the ISM band. The PCB designed the T-shaped OPEN-STUB power supply line to be miniaturized so that it does not interfere with parts or interfere with design. The characteristics of the antenna were confirmed in the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands using a T-shaped stub feeder and a spiral structure. The size of the antenna is 5mm in width × 6.5mm in length, and the thickness of the PCB is 1.2T. As a result of measurement of the manufactured antenna, it was possible to obtain a return loss of -10dB or more at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. In the E-plane, the gain was -4.45 dBi, and in the H-plane, the gain was -1.05 dBi. Therefore, the proposed small antenna for wireless communication showed excellent performance.

A triangular microstrip antenna with T-shaped slits is proposed for tunable dual-band applications. The proposed antenna is designed using chip capacitors as a prototype. From this result the capacitor can be replaced to a varactor diode to control capacitance value. Since the input impedance of the antenna can be varied with the value of the chip capacitors on the T-shaped slits, the resonant frequency may be changed. The return losses are better than 10 dB at the lower band of $0.78{\sim}1.21$ GHz and 20 dB at the upper band of $1.97{\sim}2.17$ GHz, respectively. This antenna has the bandwidth of about 10 MHz and 50 MHz at each band. The peak gains of the antenna yield 0 dBi at the lower band and 3 dBi at the upper band, respectively. Details of the antenna design are described, and its performances are presented and analyzed.

In this paper, wideband Ku-band downconverter was designed to receiver digital satellite broadcasting. The low-nose downconverter was designed to form four local oscillator frequencies(9.75, 10, 10.75 and 11.3 GHz) representing a low phase noise due to VCO-PLL with respect to input signals of 10.7 to 12.75 GHz and 3-stage low noise amplifier circuit by broadband noise matching, and to select intermediate frequency bands by digital control. The developed low-noise downconverter exhibited the full conversion gain of 64 dB, and the noise figure of low-noise amplifier was 0.7 dB, the P1dB of output signal 15 dBm, and the phase noise -85 dBc@10kHz at the band 1 carrier frequency of 9.75 GHz. The low noise block downconverter(LNB) for wideband digital satellite broadcasting designed in this paper can be used for global satellite broadcasting LNB.

In this paper, we present a compact Ultra-Wideband band-pass filter using a high-pass filter and low-pass filter. The structure of our proposed band-pass filter is very simple and the DGS(Defected Ground Structure) structure is used to get the low-pass filter characteristic. Our proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded filter. As a result of measurement the insertion loss is less than 0.5dB throughout the pass-band of $2.1GHz{\sim}10.56GHz$, the return loss is more than 20dB and the group delay maximum variation is 0.23ns from 0.12ns to 0.35ns.
