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.

70GHz-band high gain array antenna is developed for automotive short range radar sensor. In Short-rangeradar, the gain must be high in order to increase the resolution, and the angle width must be set to secure the field of view(Fov). The proposed antenna operates at 76~81GHz and satisfies angle width $60^{\circ}$, antenna gain 15dB and the input reflection coefficient of less than -10dB within the operating frequency. Wave guide WR-10 was used to measure the antenna and results similar to the simulation results were obtained.

60GHz band RF transceiver was made with the NRD waveguide structure for the point- to-point communication. A dielectric line that of comprising NRD waveguide was the milling process was not easy because a material gets soft, and also compression and expansion according to a temperature were serious, so this line was not suitable for the device in which the resonance characteristic was important. In addition, the thing for comprising amplification module was difficult in the NRD waveguide structure. In this paper, a way in which to overcome mentioned in upper part, the transceiver was made by below technology. Components in which the resonance characteristic was not important were made with the NRD waveguide hybrid IC, and components in which the resonance characteristic was important were made with waveguide. An amplifier packaged and modularizing the bare chip, it equipped at the NRD waveguide within. Manufactured transceiver communicated with FDD method, and it had 10dBm output power, and -60dBm minimum receive sensitivity.

This letter proposes a band-pass filter (BPF) with two transmission zeros based on a combination of parallel coupling and end coupling of half-wave transmission lines. The fabricated BPF exhibited a narrow bandwidth and two transmission zeros near the pass-band due to the end-coupled and shielding waveguide. At the center operation frequency of 60 GHz, the 20 dB bandwidth of the BPF is 1.0 GHz, which is almost 2% of the center operation frequency, and the insertion loss is 3.12 dB. Two transmission zeros reach approximately 40 dB at 58.5 and 62.5 GHz. The simulation results almost agree with the measured results.

In this paper, the performance of Au / $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BST) / Magnesium oxide (MgO) two-layered electrically tunable band-pass Filters (BPFs) is demonstrated. The devices consist of microstrip, coplanar waveguide (CPW), and conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CBCPW) structures. These BST thin film band-pass filters have been designed by the 2.5 D field simulator, IE3D, Zeland Inc., and fabricated by thin film process. The simulation results, using the 2-pole microstrip, CPW, and CBCPW band-pass filters, show the center frequencies of 5.89 GHz, 5.88 GHz, and 5.69 GHz, and the corresponding insertion losses are 2.67 dB, 1.14 dB, and 1.60 dB, with 3 %, 9 %, and 7 % bandwidth, respectively. The measurement results show the center frequencies of 6.4 GHz, 6.14 GHz, and 6.04 GHz, and their corresponding insertion losses are 6 dB, 4.41 dB, and 5.41 dB, respectively, without any bias voltage. With the bias voltage of 40 V, the center frequencies for the band-pass filters are measured to be 6.61 GHz, 6.31 GHz, and 6.21 GHz, and their insertion losses are observed to be 7.33 dB, 5.83 dB, and 6.83 dB, respectively. From the experiment, the tuning range for the band-pass filters are determined as about 3 % ~ 8 %.

In this paper, sub-harmonically pumped single balanced resistive mixers are presented . Frequency bandwidth is selected for a Ku-band, which is 11.75-12.25GHz for RF, 5.375∼5.625 GHz for LO, and 1 GHz for IF signals. A rat-race hybrid is designed for the accomplishment of single balanced type. A low pass filter (LPF) with photonic band gap(PBG) structure is used for good conversion loss and unwanted harmonics suppression. Two types of mixers are suggested, which are one with no gate bias for no DC power consumption and the other with the IF amplifier for conversion gain. When a LO signal with the power of 6 dBm at 5.5 GHz is injected, a conversion loss of 12.17dB and a conversion gain of 7.83 dB are obtained for each mixer. For the both mixers , LO to RF isolation of 20 dB and LO to IF isolation of 60dB are obtained. With the RF power of -30dBm to -3dBm, the mixer shows linear characteristics region of IF. this mixer can be applied for Ku-band and other microwave communication systems.

A novel 60GHz optical carrier generator with a polarization domain-inverted structure is suggested and is demonstrated. The two arms of the Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide are periodically poled for quasi-phase velocity matching between the optical wave at 1550nm and the RF wave at 30 GHz. The center frequency of band-pass modulation and the 3 dB bandwidth of the fabricated modulator were measured to be 30.3 GHz and 5.1 GHz, respectively. Sub-carriers with the frequency difference of 60GHz waeregenerated under appropriate DC biac voltage application while the carrier was suppressed to lead to the power ratio between the modulated sub-carrier and the suppressed fundamental carrier of 28 dB, which proves that double sideband- suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) operation can be realized by the suggested single device.

Allow me to introduce the development of an FM transmitter. The transmitter uses millmeter waves at the frequency of 60 GHz, and it can produce as much as 20 mW power with the band width of 1 GHz. The great feature of the FM transmitter is that it has been created by the special technique of utilizing the NRD (non radiative dielectric) waveguide. The advantage of adopting the NRD waveguide is that it can significantly reduce transmission loss. We can construct a small-size NRD guide transmitter in a simple way that has superb transmission performance. The NRD guide transmitter is very useful for CATV transmission or transmission over a wide range. In addition, the transmitter has almost the same band width as optical communication, and the data transmission speed of the transmitter is faster than that of optical communication. A transmitter with these merits would be highly appreciated as a way of ultra-highspeed communication network over short distances.
