This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

The wideband annular ring slot antenna with concentric radiating structure and low impedance feedline has been presented. This antenna has been analyzed in compensation for FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity 4.3 and thickness 1 mm. As the measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 127.2%(2.17∼9.76 GHz), its bandwidth is much broader than maximum 82% bandwidth of a conventional annular ring slot antenna. Experimental results from 2 to 10 GHz are shown to be in good agreement with the simulation. And this antenna has a high gain above 4 dBi from 2 GHz to 10 GHz as well as a 24% size reduction and 42% area reduction than a circular slot antenna.

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.

In this paper, the compact CPW-fed antenna with triple folded patch for dual-band WLAN applications is proposed. As the conventional double inverted-L antenna is changed into the C-shaped patch and double inverted-L antenna, the antenna overcomes the narrow-band characteristics according to the miniaturization of the antenna. The proposed antenna with the size of only $16.5mm{\times}29.5mm{\times}1.0mm$ is designed and fabricated by optimized parameters to be operated at 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. The antenna is fabricated into FR-4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB at dual-band.

In this paper, a 8bit 10Ms/s CMOS Folding and Interpolation analog-to-digital convertor is proposed. The architecture of the proposed ADC is based on a Folding & Interpolation using FR(Folding Rate)=8, NFB(Number of Folding Block)=4, IR(Interpolation Rate)=8. The proposed ADC adopts a preamplifier sharing method to decrease the number of preamplifier by half comparing to the conventional ones. This chip has been fabricated with a 0.35[um] CMOS technology. The effective chip area is $1.8[mm]{\times}2.11[mm]$ and it consumes 20[mA] at 3.3 power supply with 10[MHz] clock. The INL is -0.57, +0.61 [LSB] and DNL is -0.4, +0.51 [LSB]. The SFDR is 48.9[dB] and SNDR is 47.9[dB](ENOB 7.6b) when the input frequency is 100[kHz] at 10[MHz] conversion rate.

A 3 dB coupler has been designed and implemented using the most commonly used double-sided FR4 boards. The coupling and the bandwidth of the coupler are enhanced with the enlarged overlapped area of the coupler. Major design parameters are plotted as a design guide and the parameters are verified by simulation and measurement. The size of the manufactured coupler is $30{\times}14mm^2$. Its measured insertion loss and phase difference are 0.6 dB and $90.5^{\circ}$ at center frequency of 2.5 GHz, respectively. The operating frequency range is 1.72 GHz to 3.08 GHz for $3.6{\pm}0.5dB$ insertion loss. The coupler has the performance similar to that of conventional Lange coupler, and implementation of the coupler is easy and cheap with wide metal width and spacing and no additional wire bonding process.

In this paper, the characteristics of a series-fed dipole pair antenna with an end-aligned strip pair director are studied. In the proposed SDP antenna, two strip dipole antennas with different lengths and a ground reflector are connected trough a coplanar stripline. The strip pair director placed above the second dipole element are two rectangular-shaped strips and is aligned at the ends of the two arms of the second dipole. The variations on the antenna performance for different lengths and widths of the director are analyzed, and optimal design parameters for the enhancement of the bandwidth are obtained. The optimized SDP antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experimental results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 1.65-2.95 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which shows enhanced bandwidth compared to the conventional SDP antenna.

The proposed antenna shows improved performance at the measurement especially in the ratio of S/N compared with conventional monopole of 300 mm. The proposed antenna is well able to adapt into handhold gadgets for receiving T-DMB.

In this paper, a design method for a compact CPW-fed slot antenna using SRRs is studied. The structure of the proposed slot antenna is a rectangular slot antenna loaded with SRR conductors inside the slot to reduce the antenna size. Optimal design parameters are obtained by analyzing the effects of the gap between the SRR conductors and slot, and the width of the SRR conductors on the input VSWR characteristic. The optimized compact slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 36 mm by 30 mm. The length of the proposed compact slot antenna is reduced to 14.3% compared to that of a conventional rectangular slot antenna. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.4-2.49 GHz for a VSWR < 2, and measured gain of 2.3 dBi at 2.45 GHz.
