In this paper, the design of a triple dipole quasi-yagi antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN frequency bands and the 3.5 GHz WiMAX frequency band was studied. The proposed quasi-Yagi antenna consists of three dipoles connected in series with a V-shaped ground plane. The longest half-bow-tie-shaped dipole resonates in the 2.45 GHz band, whereas the medium-length dipole resonates at 3.5 GHz. The shortest dipole resonates in the 5 GHz band. By adjusting the length and width of the dipoles and the spacings between the dipoles, a triple-band directional antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 5 GHz bands are designed, and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of 45 mm × 55 mm. It was confirmed that the fabricated antenna operates in the designed triple bands of 2.32-2.57 GHz, 3.26-3.69 GHz, and 4.50-6.56 GHz for a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2. Gain is maintained above 3 dBi in the three bands.

CMOS LC VCO for tri-bind wireless LAN applications was designed in 1.8V 0.18$\mu$m CMOS process. PMOS transistors were chosen for VCO core to reduce flicker noise. The possible operation was verified for 5.8GHz band (5.725$\~$5.825GHz), 5.2GHz band (5.150$\~$5.325GHz), and 2.4GHz band (2.412$\~$2.484GHz) using the switchable L-C resonators. To linearize its frequency-voltage gain (Kvco), optimized multiple MOS varactor biasing technique was used for capacitance linearization and PLL stability improvement. VCO core consumed 2mA current and $570{\mu}m{\times}600{\mu}m$ die area. The phase noise was lower than -110dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset for tri-band frequencies.

In this paper, a broadband RF module is designed and tested for 2.4GHz band applications. The RF module is composed of a low noise amplifier (LNA) with a three stage amplifier, a single ended gate mixer, matching circuits, a hairpin line band pass filter and a Chebyshev low pass filter to convert the radio frequency (RF) into the intermediate frequency (IF). The LNA has a high gain and stability, and the single ended gate mixer has a high conversion gain and wide dynamic range. In the analysis of the broadband RF module, the composite harmonic balance technique is used to analyze the operating characteristics of an RF module circuit. The RF module has a 55.2dB conversion gain with a 1.54dB low noise figure, $-120{\sim}-60dBm$ wide RF power dynamic range, -60dBm low harmonic spectrum and a good isolation factor among the RF, IF, and local oscillator (LO) ports.

This paper presents a novel method of implementing a dual-band antenna using a square patch with an inset feed structure. The proposed method is to simply design a dual-band antenna using an asymmetric inset structure with different lengths of slots dug into the patch for inset feeding. To verify the proposed method, a dual-band inset patch antenna supporting 1.57 GHz GPS and 2.4 GHz WiFi bands was designed and manufactured on a 1 mm thick FR4 substrate. From measurement, it was confirmed that the frequency bands of the antenna that satisfy a return loss of -10dB or less are 1.55~1.57GHz and 2.41~2.45GHz, which has dual-band characteristics. Using the proposed method, it is possible to simply implement a dual-band antenna using inset feeding, and it is expected to be utilized in a variety of application fields.
