In this paper, we propose a microstrip slot antenna that works in Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMAX and WLAN frequency bands($2.4{\sim}5.825\;GHz$). To get the wide bandwidth from the microstrip antenna proposed, we insert a pair of parastic strips along the feed line on the FR-4 dielectric substance(${\varepsilon}_r=4.8$). Furthermore, a simple geometrical rotation with quadrilateral slot is designed to maximize the bandwidth and to gain a wider frequency band than the conventional rectangular slot antenna. A additional design of the loop type is added to a cactus-shaped patched for 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. The total measured bandwidth of the antenna is from 2.4 GHz to 6 GHz and the maximum gains of the antenna are 3.82 dBi, 4.48 dBi, 6.41 dBi and 6.65 dBi at the frequencies of 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.25 GHz and 5.77 GHz.

In this paper, 2.4GHz RF Module using Even Harmonic Mixer(EHM) was designed and fabricated for Direct conversion(DC) system. By minimizing performance degradation of DC system with DC offset and LO radiation, the capability of minimization and one chip solution in wireless system was proposed. The designed EHM using anti-parallel diode pair represented 9dB conversion loss and about -60dBm 2LO leakage radiation in RF port, and output reflection and reverse transmission characteristic of low noise amplifier was improved. So superior DC offset suppression characteristic is expected. RF Module which consists of EHM, LNA, RF amplifier, Frequency synthesizer and Duplexer was designed and fabricated.

Wireless LANs in the 2.4 ㎓ ISM- band create a new Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problem. We investigated the interference characteristics between such wireless LANs in the case of identical systems, systems with different technical parameters for modulation and demodulation, and using a Gaussian noise source as a disturbance source. Experimental results show that higher throughput is obtained when adjacent wireless LANs use different systems, and that interference characteristics can be evaluated experimentally using a Gaussian noise source. Calculated BER characteristics for the interference agree with experimental measurements, indicating that this calculation method can be used for the design of the wireless LAN network to avoid interference. It is possible to construct an efficient wireless LAN network by combining different wireless LAN systems.

In the RFID system using ISM-band, The tag mounted at the object has used the DC power by rectifying the RF signals of the small antenna for operating the micro-controller and memory. The performance of the tag would be reduced because of the second harmonics generated by the nonlinearity of the semiconductor and the spurious signal excited the high order mode of the antenna. This paper has realized the novel type low-pass filter with "the Stub-I type DGS slot structure" to improve the efficiency of the tag by suppressing the harmonics. The optimized frequency character at the pass-band/stop-band has obtained by tuning the stub width and slit width of I type slot. The measured result of the LPF has the cutoff frequency 3.25 GHz, the insertion loss about -0.29~-0.3 dB at pass-band 2.4 GHz~2.5 GHz, the return loss about -27.688~-33.665 dB at pass-band with a good performance, and the suppression character is about -19.367 dB at second harmonics frequency 4.9 GHz. This DGS LPF may be applied the various application as the RFID, WLAN to improve the efficiency of the system by suppressing the harmonics and spurious signals.

A low-power 2.4GHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer has been designed for 2.4GHz ISM band applications such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and WLAN. To achieve low-power characteristic, the design has been focused on the power optimization of power-hungry blocks such as VCO, prescaler, and ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator. An NP-core type VCO is adopted to optimize both phase noise and power consumption. Dynamic D-F/Fs with no static DC current are employed in designing the low-power prescaler circuit. The ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator is designed using a modulus mapping circuit for reducing hardware complexity and power consumption. The designed frequency synthesizer which was fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process consumes 7.9mA from a single 1.8V supply voltage. The experimental results show that a phase noise of -118dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset, the reference spur of -70dBc at 25MHz offset, and the channel switching time of $15{\mu}s$ over 25MHz transition have been achieved. The designed chip occupies an area of $1.16mm^2$ including pads where the core area is only $0.64mm^2$.

The CBTC(Communication based Train Control) system employed on 2.4GHz ISM band adopt the IEEE802.11.x standard. Therefor communication time delay, distortion and data losses will be produced. To overcome these problems, CPSK(Continuous Phase shift keying) modulated DS/SS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) transmitter with 908MHz carrier frequency is proposed. Through the eye diagram and scatter diagram the performance is analysed. And the phase noise characteristic of the local oscillator is measured about 60dBc/Hz, this means that the phase noise performance is very good compared to the signal. Reference frequency suppression of the 2nd local oscillator is 50dB below compared to the signal. Through the polarities of the complementary signal equally probable, the line spectrum of the output spectrum is eliminated. The nonlinear effects which introduce the spectral spreading or spectral regeneration is reduced remarkably.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for implementing a microstrip patch antenna with circular polarization characteristics through an asymmetric inset feed structure. The proposed method involves designing an antenna by taking advantage of the length difference of the asymmetric inset slots inserted into the antenna, as well as the lengths of additional slots incorporated into the design to achieve circular polarization characteristics. Using this approach, we designed and fabricated an antenna operating at 2.4 GHz in the S-band for satellite communication systems, utilizing a 1 mm thick FR-4 dielectric substrate. The measurement results confirmed a gain of 2dBi, an axial ratio of less than 3dB, and a reflection coefficient below -10dB in the frequency range of 2.35 to 2.43 GHz. Based on these results, it is expected that by employing the proposed method, circularly polarized antennas utilizing inset feeds can be realised, thereby making them applicable in small satellite communication systems and various wireless IoT environmental service applications that use the ISM band.
