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.

In this paper, the linear tapered slot(LTS) antenna and linear constant tapered slot(LCTS) antenna are optimized for millimeter-wave antenna by the finite difference time domain(FDTD) method and then fabricated and measured. The microstrip-to-slot transition is proposed with the widen $\lambda$/4 open stub as feeder for wide bandwidth of 16.5GHz($VSWR\leq2$). The results of the calculation and measurement, the bandwidth of LTS antanna is 8.3GHz(26.47%) and 7.1792GHz(22.4%) respectively. Also, the bandwidth of LCTS antenna is 8.1GHz(26.47%) and 6.3243GHz(20.43%) respectively.

A 26.4 GHz phase locked oscillator(PLO) for communication satellite transponder is developed. The PLO consists of fundamental frequency generation module(FFGM) and frequency multiplication part(FMP). The signal of 26.4 GHz is generated through frequency tripling process of 8.8 GHz fundamental frequency. Phase locking technique using sampling phase detector(SPD) is adopted to design the FFGM. The MMIC tripler and amplifier are also designed for the reduction of the size and mass of FMP. The phase noise characteristics are exhibited as -96 dBc/Hz at 10 tHz offset frequency and -105 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency, respectively, with the output power over 11 dBm. All performance parameters are complied with the design requirements.

In this paper, a low phase noise frequency synthesizer used to TX local oscillator in BWLL RF tranceiver is presented. The phase-locked stable 25GHz-band frequencies in BWLL TX LO are obtained by using 2 GHz baseband frequency synthesizer, sixth-harmonic frequency multiplier and frequency doubler at 12 GHz band frequency input. The 25 GHz band frequency synthesizer presented in this paper has 3-output frequencies at 24.92 GHz, 25.10 GHz, 25.26 GHz. At 24.92 GHz frequency the synthesizer has 0.44 dBm output power and shows -87.93 dBc/Hz(a 10 KHz), -109.54 dBc/Hz (a100 KHz) phase noise characteristics .

This paper describes design of a variable-N frequency synthesizer for RF PLL with $0.13{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the UWB system like MBOA. To get good performance of speed and noise super dynamic circuits was used, and to get variable-N division ratio MOSFET switching circuits was used. Especially to solve narrow bandwidth problem of the dynamic circuits load resistance value of unit divider block was varied. Simulation results of the designed circuit shows very fast and wide operation characteristics as 5~26GHz frequency range.

This paper presents the characteristics of a half-bowtie-shaped meander-type antenna for the 5-GHz band. Its design is based on a modified meander line width and bowtie shape with coaxial feeding. Its maximum measured impedance bandwidth (-10 dB below) is approximately 1.055 GHz (5.01-6.065 GHz) or 19.05%. Radiation patterns at different frequencies are presented. The measured gain was 2.26-8.86 dBi.

In this paper, we developed a 94 GHz waveguide VCO(voltage controlled oscillator) using a GaAs-based Gunn diode and a varactor diode. The cavity is designed for fundamental mode at 47 GHz and operated at second harmonic of 94 GHz. Bias posts for diodes operate as LPF(low pass filter) and resonator. The fabricated waveguide VCO achieves an oscillation bandwidth of 760 MHz. Output power is from 12.61 to 15.26 dBm and phase noise is -101.13 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from the carrier.

In this paper, a compact 4-bit chipless RFID(radio frequency identification) tag using a modified ELC(electric field-coupled inductive-capacitive) resonator and multiple slot resonators is proposed. The modified ELC resonator uses an interdigital-capacitor structure in the conventional ELC resonator to lower the resonance peak frequency of the RCS. The multiple slot resonators are designed by etching three slots with different lengths into an inverted U-shaped conductor. The resonant peak frequency of the RCS for the modified ELC resonator is 3.216 GHz, whereas those of the multiple slot resonators are set at 4.122 GHz, 4.64 GHz, and 5.304 GHz, respectively. The proposed compact four-bit tag is fabricated on an RF-301 substrate with dimensions of 50 mm×20 mm and a thickness of 0.8 mm. Experiment results show that the resonant peak frequencies of the fabricated four-bit chipless RFID tag are 3.285 GHz, 4.09 GHz, 4.63 GHz, and 5.31 GHz, respectively, which is similar to the simulation results with errors in the range between 0.78% and 2.16%.
