The folded monopole antenna for applying mobile communications equipment and wireless devices is presented in this paper. By using the coplanar waveguide feed the operating bandwidth has improved. In addition, each individual resonant elements has occurred different capacitance through asymmetrical left and right ground planes; therefore, the bandwidth has kept and the impedance matching has stabilized. By measurement results, the impedance bandwidth under VSWR< 2.5:1 are $824{\sim}890$ MHz and the $1,500{\sim}2,170$ MHz, also radiation patterns has omni-directional characteristics. The maximum gains of the proposed antenna are 5.52, 0.64, 3.00, 0.94 and 1.85 dBi at 850, 1,575, 1,790, 1,930 and 2,050 MHz respectively. The proposed antenna will be adapted to the internal antenna of the mobile communication devices.

We use conformal mapping method to derive the analytical expressions for calculating electrostatic fields and electric potentials surrounding the conductor-backed coupled coplanar waveguide(CBCCPW) structure. Using the derived expressions, the electrostatic fields and potentials are computed at various points of the CBCCPW's geometry and the field and potential distributions are analyzed. The proposed method provides a faster and simpler calculation of the field distributions than the full-wave analysis method because no iterations are required. This method can be widely applied to the analysis of microwave integrated circuits using coupled line, such as coupler, filter, and microstrip antenna.

A conducting polymer, poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) is characterized with the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) measurement method and the high frequency planar circuit method. From the MIS measurement method, the relative dielectric constant of the P3HT film is estimated to be 4.4. For the high frequency planar circuit method, a coplanar waveguide is fabricated on the P3HT film. When applying +20 V to the CPW on P3HT film, the P3HT film is in accumulation mode and becomes lossy. The CPW on P3HT film is 1.5 dB lossier than the CPW on $SiO_2$ film without P3HT film at 50 GHz.

In this paper, a CPW-fed monopole antenna using inverted L-type DGS structures is proposed and investigated experimentally. The proposed antenna is fabricated into FR4 substrate with dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r=4.5). Measured results show that the impedance bandwidth, determined from 10-dB return loss, for frequencies between 5.7250Hz-5.825CHz under the condition of VSWR$\leqq$2 is about 540MHg.

In this paper, a new design for a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) fed wide-band slot antenna is presented. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the slot antenna, we proposed the tapering slot structure. A various resonance modes are generated in the tapering slot. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is about 12:1 ($2.0GHz{\sim}24.3GHz$) with $VSWR{\le}2$. Simulation results for return loss and radiation pattern are presented.

We design and fabricate 3-dB tandem directional coupler using the coplanar waveguide structure which is applicable to balanced amplifiers and mixers for 60 GHz wireless local area network system. The coupler comprises the multiple-sectional parallel-coupled lines to facilitate the fabrication process, and enable smaller device size and higher directivity than those of the conventional 3-dB coupler employing the edge-coupled line. In this study, we adopt the structure of two-sectional parallel-coupled lines of which each single-coupled line has a coupling coefficient of -8.34 dB and airbridge structure to monolithically materialize the uniplanar coupler structure instead of using the conventional multilayer or bonded structure. The airbridge structure also supports to minimize the parasitic components and maintain desirable device performance in V-band (50$\~$75 GHz). The measured results from the fabricated couplers show couplings of 3.S$\~$4 dB and phase differences of 87.5$^{\circ}{\pm}1^{\circ}$ in V-band range and show directivities higher than 30 dB at a frequency of 60 GHz.

This paper proposes a $10\;{\mu}m$ thick oxide air-bridge structure which can be used as a substrate for RF circuits. The structure was fabricated by anodic reaction, complex oxidation and micromachining technology using TMAH etching. High quality films were obtained by combining low temperature thermal oxidation ($500^{\circ}C$, 1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$) and rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process ($1050^{\circ}C$, 2 min). This structure is mechanically stable because of thick oxide layer up to $10\;{\mu}m$ and is expected to solve the problem of high dielectric loss of silicon substrate in RF region. The properties of the transmission line formed on the oxidized porous silicon (OPS) air-bridge were investigated and compared with those of the transmission line formed on the OPS layers. The insertion loss of coplanar waveguide (CPW) on OPS air-bridge was (about 2dB) lower than that of CPW on OPS layers. Also, the return loss of CPW on OPS air-bridge was less than about -20 dB at measured frequency region for 2.2 mm. Therefore, this technology is very promising for extending the use of CMOS circuitry to higher RF frequencies.

An optical switch composed of identical, equally-spaced $Ti:LiNbO_3$ three-waveguides was designed and fabricated. Patterned Ti was diffused into z-cut $LiNbO_3$ substrates. $SiO_2$ buffer layer was evaporated to reduce the propagation loss of TM mode, and Al electrodes of CPW structure were built on the layer for switching of the guided beam. The optical switching phenomenon was confirmed when a beam of ${\lambda}=1.3{\mu}m$ was launched into the center waveguide and an electric field was applied to detune the three waveguides symmetrically.

This paper presents a high dividing ratio unequal dualband divider using coplanar waveguide (CPW) and shunt connected open stub transmission lines. In order to implement transmission lines for a dualband divider using design equations, the low impedance lines of divider can be realized a shunt connected open stub transmission line. Also, the high impedance lines are realized by CPW transmission lines. To certify the validity of an unequal dualband divider using CPW and shunt connected open stub transmission lines, the 10:1 unequal dualband divider is implemented at operating frequency of 1 and 2 GHz. Good experimental performance at each frequency are obtained, which are in good agreement with the simulated results.
