BN ceramics with 0.07wt% $V_{2}O_{5}$ and 0.03wt% CuO(BNC3V7) sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ where it is possible for these to be co-fired with Ag electrode. Dielectricconstant of 44.3, TCF of 22 ppm$/^{\circ}C$ and $Qxf_{o}$ value of 22,000 GHz can be obtained from BNC3V7, multilayer type band pass filters using tapped method and conventional method were designed for PCS (Personal Communication System) applications. Tapped method by adopting input/output-tapping scheme the chip filter stucture becomes simpler and needs fewer layers than that using the conventional input/output-coupling scheme. A multilayer type band pass filter fabricated by screen-printing with silver electrode after tape casting. The simulated characteristics of the fabricated filters sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ were compared with the designed ones. Even though the centered frequencies of tapped and conventional band pass chaip filters were measured to shift about 90MHz downward, the band pass characteristics of both filters were similar that of designed ones. The spuriousresonance characteristic of tapped pass chip filter was better than that of conventional chip filer.

In this paper, a broadband open stubs band pass filters which can suppress the second harmonics using Z-transform technique, is designed, fabricated and characterized. The proposed broadband filters integrate the band stop filter with the FSCS structure and ${\lambda}_g/4$ open stub in order to suppress the second harmonics. Due to insertion of BSF at input and output terminal, the size of the filter was increased in the conventional filter, however, in the proposed structure, the position of inverter that connects the stubs can be integrated between those stubs, thereby decreasing the size. So, it can be fabricated in the size of $18.7{\times}16.9mm^2$ which is smaller size than conventional one. The measured results of the proposed filters have center frequency of a 5.8 GHz with bandwidth of 95 %, insertion loss of 0.6 dB, return loss of 14 dB. The simulation results are consistent with measurement results. The filter is designed far X-band satellite communication and ITS applications.

In this paper, compact linear dual polarized series-fed $1{\times}2$ linear and $2{\times}2$ planar arrays antennas for airborne SAR applications are proposed. The proposed antenna design consists of a square radiating patch that is placed on top of the substrate, a quarter wave transformer and $50-{\Omega}$ matched transformer. Matching between a radiating patch and the $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip line is accomplished through a direct coupled-feed technique with the help of an impedance inverter (${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer) placed at both horizontal and vertical planes, in the case of the $2{\times}2$ planar array. The overall size for the prototype-1 and prototype-2 fabricated antennas are $1.9305{\times}0.9652{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$ and $1.9305{\times}1.9305{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$, respectively. The fabricated structure has been tested, and the experimental results are similar to the simulated ones. The CST MWS simulated and vector network analyzer measured reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) results were compared, and they indicate that the proposed antenna prototype-1 yields the impedance bandwidth >140 MHz (9.56-9.72 GHz) defined by $S_{11}$<-10 dB with 1.43%, and $S_{21}$<-25 dB in the case of prototype-2 (9.58-9.74 GHz, $S_{11}$< -10 dB) >140 MHz for all the individual ports. The surface currents and the E- and H-field distributions were studied for a better understanding of the polarization mechanism. The measured results of the proposed dual polarized antenna were in accordance with the simulated analysis and showed good performance of the S-parameters and radiation patterns (co-pol and cross-pol), gain, efficiency, front-to-back ratio, half-power beam width) at the resonant frequency. With these features and its compact size, the proposed antenna will be suitable for X-band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications.

This letter proposes a novel calibration method for a multiport amplifier (MPA) to achieve optimum port-to-port isolation by correcting both the amplitude and phase of the calibration signals. The proposed architecture allows for the detection of the phase error and amplitude error in each RF signal path simultaneously and can enhance the calibrated resolution by controlling the analog phase shifters and attenuators. The designed $2{\times}2$ and $4{\times}4$ MPAs show isolation characteristics of 30 dB and 27 dB over a frequency range of 19.5 GHz to 22.5 GHz, respectively.

In this paper, a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna in order to improve the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna with high relative dielectric constant is proposed. Low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity consisted of several ground planes with closely spaced metallic vias connected. It is shown that the size of a low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity has the effects on the performances of radiation and bandwidth for the antenna. The proposed 2x4 low temperature co-fired ceramic cavity backed antenna is $10{\times}20\;mm^2$ in size. Measured results show antenna gain of $11.8{\sim}14.1\;dBi$ and bandwidth of 13 %(7.9 GHz) in the $57{\sim}64\;GHz$ band.

This paper deals with the design of a microstrip line feed toppled T shaped microstrip patch antenna that gives dualband characteristics at 4 GHz and 6.73 GHz respectively. The simulation of proposed antenna geometry has been performed using method of moment based IE3D simulation software. A radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is used for the estimation of bandwidth for dualband at 4 GHz and 6.73 GHz respectively. In RBFNN model, antenna parameters such as dielectric constant, height of substrate, and width are used as input and bandwidth of first and second band is considered as output of the network. To validate the RBFNN output, an antenna has been physically fabricated on glass epoxy substrate. The fabricated antenna can be utilized in S and C bands applications. RBFNN results are found in close agreement with simulated and experimental results.

Applications in present-day mobile communication systems particularly require miniaturized dimensions and low-profiles of antenna in order to meet the mobile units. Thus, size reductions and bandwidth enhancements are becoming crucial design considerations for practical applications of microstrip antennas. The motivation of further experiments have been stepped to follow those studies for achieving compact and broadband, even multiplied operation modes, which are greatly increased with much attentions recently. To obtain broadband, single-feed, circularly polarized characteristics of microstrip antennas, a design with feed-line ought to be a factor of two. Usually, diagonally balanced-line feeds with hybrid coupler are employed to attain circular polarizations. We firstly formulated DGS (Defected Ground Structures) based operation principles of the entire microstrip components and therefore were able to derive impedance variance of feed-lines. After verifying corresponding experimental results, we targeted the frequency bands of UHF RFID (Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency IDentification) and approximately of 0.4-2.4GHz have exhibited remarkable two resonance amplitudes as a dual band antenna. Our secondary researches were aimed to design quad band microstrip antenna which represents four resonance characteristics within the identical frequency bands as well. Microstrip patch has been meandered to lengthen the electrical paths, and the other design criteria with respecting physical parameters including radiation patterns and impedance bandwidths measurements will be described for verification. Advisable applications of these antennas can be GSM850, GSM900, GPS (L1-1575 and L2-1227) and UMTS-2110 of cellular systems, which extremely desire multiband and minimum size.

This paper describes RF front-end transceiver chipset for the dual-mode operation of PCS-Korea and IMT-2000. The transceiver chipset has been implemented in a $0.25\mutextrm{m}$ single-poly five-metal CMOS technology. The receiver IC consists of a LNA and a down-mixer, and the transmitter IC integrates an up-mixer. Measurements show that the transceiver chipset covers the wide RF range from 1.8GHz for PCS-Korea to 2.1GHz for IMT-2000. The LNA has 2.8~3.1dB NF, 14~13dB gain and 5~4dBm IIP3. The down mixer has 15.5~16.0dB NF, 15~13dB power conversion gain and 2~0dBm IIP3. The up mixer has 0~2dB power conversion gain and 6~3dBm OIP3. With a single 3.0V power supply, the LNA, down-mixer, and up-mixer consume 6mA, 30mA, and 25mA, respectively.
