In this paper, we report on a high performance 94 GHz MMIC mixer module using 0.1-um metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs). A modified resistive mixer with a RF amplifier was proposed in this work for low conversion loss and high LO-RF isolation. The MMIC mixer module was fabricated using a MMIC chip and CPW-waveguide transitions. The fabricated mixer chip and module showed a low conversion loss of 6.3 dB and 9.5 dB, and LO-RF isolations of 24.8 and 30.4 dB at 94 GHz, respectively. This results are superior to those of previously W-band (75-110 GHz) MMIC mixers.

In this paper, a double lorentz composite right left handed(DL-CRLH) transmission line is designed using defected ground structure (DGS) and varactor diodes. Previously, the diode has been adopted only selectively for one of parallel or series resonators, and the balanced frequency as well as triple band frequencies were fixed. However in the proposed DL-CRLH transmission line, the balanced frequency, where the resonant frequencies of the series-connected parallel resonator and shunt-connected series resonator are the same, is adjustable. In addition, the triple band frequencies are controlled, too. The measured balanced frequency varies between 3.42~4.8GHz according to the controlled bias voltage. Under the same bias condition for the balanced frequency, the adjusted frequencies are 2.22~2.77GHz, 3.7~5.2GHz, 7.32~8.23GHz, 3.42~4.8GHz, and 4.44~5.92GHz for the conditions that ${\beta}d=+0.5{\pi}$, $-0.5{\pi}$, 2nd $+0.5{\pi}$, ${\omega}_{\infty}$, and ${\omega}_o$, respectively.

In this paper, a compact CPW-fed antenna for 5 GHz (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.825 GHz) band WLAN applications is presented. The designed antenna's shape is step structure. The antenna is fabricated and measured into FR-4 substrate of dielectric comstant 4.2 and thickness 1.0 mm with optimized parameters obtained by simulation. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB in 5.133-5.982 GHz. The dimensions of the antenna ($20.0{\times}16.0{\times}1.0mm^3$) shows an compactness of about 67.17% with respect to a conventional folded slot antenna.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed super-wideband semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna operating in a frequency band of 2.4 GHz or higher. To feed the antenna, a CPW feed line was appended to the center of the lower arm of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna. For miniaturization, square patches were added to the ends of the two arms of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole, whereas the slot width of the CPW feed line at the center of the dipole antenna was increased to improve impedance matching in the 5.4-6.3 GHz band. The simulated frequency band of the proposed antenna for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 was 2.369-30 GHz(170.7%), whereas the fabricated antenna was maintained VSWR less than 2 in the frequency range of 2.378-20 GHz when measured using a network analyzer operating up to 20 GHz so it can be applied as a super-wideband antenna for next-generation mobile communications.

For dual­band operation, it can be done by loading two pair of slits in the equilateral­triangular patch, one embeded close to the side edges of the patch and the other inserted at the bottom edge of the patch. The frequency ratio of the two operating frequencies can be tuned by varing the positions and lengths of the inserted slots at the bottom edge of the patch. While the calculated frequency ratio of the antenna by Ensemble 5.0 is $1.66 ({f_10}=1.928GHz, {f_20}=3.2GHz)$, the measured one is 2.04 $({f_10}=1.6806 GHz, {f_20}=3.435 GHz)$. The error in the frequency ratio is due on the fabrication dimension and feeding position error as well as on the permittivity dispersion effect.

Two Ka-band 3-stage power amplifiers were designed and fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. For low loss matching networks for the amplifiers, two substrate-shielded transmission line structures, having good modeling accuracy up to 40 GHz were used. The measured insertion loss of substrate-shielded microstrip-line (MSL) was 0.5 dB/mm at 27 GHz. A 3-stage CMOS amplifier using substrate-shielded MSL achieved a 14.7-dB small-signal gain and a 14.5-dBm output power at 27 GHz in a compact chip area of 0.83$mm^2$. The measured insertion loss of substrate-shielded coplanar waveguide (CPW) was 1.0 dB/mm at 27 GHz. A 3-stage amplifier using substrate-shielded CPW achieved a 12-dB small-signal gai and a 12.5-dBm output power at 26.5 GHz. This results shows a potential of CMOS technology for low cost short-range wireless communication components and system.

In this paper, an inverted-triangle patch UWB antenna with an uneven ground planes and an inverted T-slot for 5 GHz WLAN band rejection is presented. The operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna fed with the CPW line is expanded from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for about -10 dB return loss using three angular parameters correlated to the main patch and the ground plane. The fabricated antenna on Taconic RF-60A substrate with 6.16 relative dielectric constant and 0.64 mm thickness has a main antenna patch size of 36 mm${\times}$19.5 mm. The measured results show return losses of about -10 dB and nearly omni-directional radiation patterns. The proposed UWB antenna has advantages of easily adjustable impedance characteristics by the three angular parameters and easily accomplishable band rejection characteristics by the inverted T-slot.
