In this paper, a new parallel-coupled-line microstrip BPF(BandPass Filter) improving the suppression performance of 2nd harmonic signals is studied. Using the consecutive pattern in coupled-line, the desired passband performance is improved and harmonic passband signal is rejected. Recalculation of classical filter design parameters(space-gap between lines, line widths and lengths) is not required. That is, after using the classical design methodology for parellel-coupled-line BPF, new filters can be easily realized by inserting periodic patterns in coupled-line. To investigate the validity of this novel technique, order-3 Butterworth BPF centered at 2.5 GHz with a 10 % FBW(Fractional Bandwidth) and order-5 Chebyshev BPF centered at 10 GHz with a 15 % FBW were used. When five and three square grooves are used, over 30 dB harmonic suppression at 2nd harmonic is achieved in simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a monopole antenna applicable to WLAN standardization is designed, fabricated, and tested. The proposed antenna is designed to have three microstrip lines based on microstrip feeding method and inserted one stub to enhance impedance characteristics. Then, it obtained triple band characteristics of the proposed antenna. We adjusted and optimized the lengths and width of the three microstrip lines and one inserted stub to obtain the required impedance bandwidth for this paper. The proposed antenna has $23.0mm(W){\times}53.1mm(L1)$ on a dielectric substrate of $24.0mm(W1){\times}60.0mm(L){\times}1.0mm$ size. From the fabrication and measurement results, bandwidths of 158 MHz (841 to 1000 MHz) for 900 MHz band, 630 MHz (2.32 to 2.95 GHz) for 2400 MHz band, and 1,040 MHz (4.95 to 5.99 GHz) for 5000 MHz band were obtained based on the impedance bandwidth. The fabricated antenna also obtained the measured gain and radiation pattern characteristics in the required triple band of the proposed antenna.

of a microstrip transmission line, this transmission line can operate as the microstrip line or the coplanar line according to open or short connection between the ungrounded copper plane and grounded plane on the base plane. Two different type operation of the transmission line means that one transmission line can have two different characteristic impedances. This paper proposes and fabricates the circuit to be operated 2-ports power transmission line or 2-way power divider with the stable input matching characteristic by using this dual-impedance transmission line. The proposed circuit operates 2-ports power transmission line in case of the coplanar line or 2-way power divider line in case of the microstrip line. The fabricated circuit shows $S_{21}$ > -0.2 dB and $S_{11}$ < -15 dB above 700 MHz when the circuit operates 2-ports power transmission line. And, it is $S_{21}$ > -3.8 dB, $S_{11}$ < -10 dB and $S_{21}/S_{31}$ < ${\pm}0.3dB$ above 700 MHz when the circuit operates 2-way power divider.

A method for designing a DDQYA fed by a CPW is proposed in this paper. The proposed CPW-fed DDQYA consists of two series-connected strip dipoles, a ground reflector, and a strip-pair director. Instead of the conventional microstrip feed line in which the signal line is located on the substrate opposite to the antenna, a CPW is used because CPW is located on the same side with the antenna, and so the fabrication is easy. The strip-pair director is composed of two horizontally-separated strips, and it is added above the second dipole to enhance the gain in the high frequency region. A prototype of the proposed CPW-fed DDQYA is fabricated on an FR4 substrate. The fabricated antenna has a frequency band of 1.66-3.38 GHz(68.3%) for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, and measured gain ranges 5.0-7.3 dBi over a frequency band of 1.60-2.90 GHz.

본논문에서는 현재 다 핀용 패키지로 주종을 이루고 있는 기존의 PQEP의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 스트립 라인 배선 구조를 갖는 새로운 PQEP를 제안하였다. 기존의 208 핀 PQFP와 제안한 208핀 PQFP의 전기적 특성을 Ansoft사의 Maxwell TMA사의 Raphael 과 Avanti사의 HSPICE를 이용하여 시뮬레이션하여 비교하였다. 새로운 패키지에서는 신호 선과 파워버스라인을 스트립 구조로 만들고 감결합커패시터를 장착하여 크로스톡 잡음과 스 위칭 잡음을 크게 감소시켰다. 패키지의 리드프레임을 스트립구조로 만들기 위하여 구리가 도포된 유연성 쿠폰을 리드프레임의양측면에 부착하였다. 신호선의 특성 임피던스는 쿠폰의 유전층 두께변화를 조절함으로써 최적화하였고 유전층 두께가 100$\mu$mdlfEo 45$\Omega$의 값을 얻 었다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정결과 32개의 소자가 동시에 스위칭하고 전원/접지핀이 전체 리드 수의 33%일 때 동작주파수가 330Mhz됨을 확인하였으며 이는 기존 PQFP의 최대 동 작주파수인 100MHz에 비하여 3배 이상 향상됨을 보였다.

The impedance matching network with the simplfied real frequency technique (SRFT) is proposed as a method for bandwidth enhancement of microstrip antenna. The validity of the technique is based on the relative frequency insensitivity of the radiation pattern and gain characteristics as compared to the resonant behaviour of the input impedance. The most significant feature of this technique is that there is no need to find any analytical description of the antenna and generator, and it only utilizes directly real frequency generator and load data over the prescribed frequency band. Furthermore, it is not necessary to invent an analytic form of the system transfer function to assume a matching network topology in advance. In this paper, the transmission line model is used to investigate the rectangular microstrip antenna, and based on the Fano's bandwidth-enlargement theory, the SRFT is introduced to design the matching networks of microstrip antennas in order to obtain a constant gain over the frequency band of interest. Two representative microstrip antnnas with different structure are fabricated and tested. From these procedures, it is obtained that the proposed impedance matching networks of microstrip antenna improve the impedance bandwidth nearly three times compared to the antenna without them.

In this paper, the slot coupled stacked microstrip antenna, which has wide bandwidth characteristics because of the double tuning effects from the interactions between two patches and feeding slot and improves distortions of radiation patterns due to spurious radiation from feeder, is analyzed. For the analy- sis Green function in the spectrum domain and Galerkin method is applied with an accurate analysis mode for slot coupled feeding structure using the scattering analysis method. The basis functions are 3 EB modes for patches and 5 PWS modes for feeder. The slot coupled stacked microstrip antennas are designed and fabricated with the center frequency of 11.5 Ghz and 12.0 GHz. The experimental results show the wide bandwidth characteristics of 1.9 ~ 2.2 GHz and agree well with the simulation results which have 15~20% bandwidth.
