A WLAN dual band dipole antenna with parasitic elements and a reflector is presented for high gain operation. The parasitic elements are used for practical application and high gain operation of the radiation pattern at the WLAN dual band. The proposed antenna consists of three layers, and has dimensions of $74mm{\times}40 mm{\times}31.4mm$. From the experimental results, the achieved impedance bandwidths were 1035 MHz (2.031-3.066 GHz) and 1119 MHz (5.008-6.127 GHz), respectively. The measured maximum gain at each WLAN band was 6.69 dBi and 7.81 dBi, respectively.

A 5-GHz band Low Noise Amplifier(LNA) using SOI MOSFET is designed. To improve the noise performance, depletion-type SOI MOSFET is adopted, and it is designed by the two-stage topology consisting of common-source and common-gate stages for low-voltage operation. The fabricated LNA achieved an S11 of less than -10dB, voltage gain of 21dB with a power consumption of 8.3mW at 5.5GHz, and a noise figure of 1.7dB indicated that the depletion-type LNA improved the noise figure by 0.3dB compared with conventional type. These results show the feasibility of a CMOS LNA employing depletion-type SOI MOSFET for low-noise application.

In this paper, a planar half-circle shape ultra-wideband(UWB) antenna fed by CPW is designed, fabricated and measured for UWB communications. Within the UWB band(3.1 GHz${\~}$10.6 GHz), 5.15 GHz${\~}$5.825 GHz frequency band is used by IEEE 802.1la WLAN applications. It may be necessary to notch out this band to avoid interference with IEEE 802.1la WLAN. Therefore, we have proposed three kinds of UWB antennas having a notch function, such as a rectangular slot, a hat-shaped slot a circle-shaped slot. The notch frequency of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by controlling the slot length or slot width. From the measured results, the proposed antennas show a good gain flatness except the IEEE 802.1la WLAN frequency band and have a reasonable agreement with simulated results.

This paper presents the design of dual-band VCO using PBG structure for IEEE 802.11A/B. By adding switch circuit to the single-band VCO, we could achieve a dual-band VCO. The center frequencies of dual-band VCO are 5.93GHz(-13dBm) and 2.37GHz (3.50dBm). The phase noise is improved about l0dB by using PBG Structure.

In this paper, FG-CPW (Finite-Ground Coplanar Wave-Guide) balanced diode mixer is presented. Frequency bandwidth is selected for a C-band, which is 5.72~5.82 GHz for RF, 5.58~5.68 GHz for LO, and 140 MHz for IF signals. A rat-race hybrid is designed for the accomplishment of single balanced type. A low pass filter (LPF) with CPW structure is used far good conversion loss and unwanted harmonics suppression. When LO signal with the power of 4 dBm at 5.635 GHz is injected, a conversion loss of 6.2 dB is obtained for the mixer. Also, the LO to RF and LO to IF isolation of 30 dB and 40 dB are obtained, respectively. This mixer can be used in the area on wireless LAN application.

In this paper, the relay antenna was designed in consideration of the performance of the 28GHz band 5G mobile communication relay horn antenna, such as radiation pattern and return loss. A horn array for 5G mobile communication repeater was designed by arranging the antenna elements in phase, and the performance was analyzed. Unlike conventional WCDMA (3G) and LTE (4G), in millimeter wave band communication, high path loss occurs between transmission and reception. In the design of a 5G millimeter wave horn antenna, antenna performance such as isolation and gain between antenna elements as well as gain and bandwidth of the antenna must be additionally considered. The antenna gain of the single horn antenna (1×1) and the array horn antenna (2×4) in the 28GHz band is about 10.44d Bi and 19.58dBi, respectively, and the return loss is designed to be less than -18dB. It has proven its validity and has been shown to be suitable for application to 5G mobile communication relay system.
