In this study, a short-wavelength coplanar-type transmission line employing periodic ground structure (PGS) was developed for application to miniaturized on-chip passive component on Si Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC). The transmission line employing PGS showed shorter wavelength and lower characteristic impedance than conventional coplanar-type transmission line. The wavelength of the transmission line employing PGS structure was 57 % of the conventional coplanar-type transmission line on Si substrate. Using the theoretical analysis. basic characteristics of the transmission line employing PGS (e.g., bandwidth. loss, impedance, and resonance characteristics) were also investigated in order to evaluate its suitability for application to a development of miniaturized passive on-chip components on silicon RFIC. According to the results. the bandwidth of the transmission line employing PGS was more than 895 GHz as long as T is less than 20${\mu}m$, and the resonance characteristic was observed in 1239 GHz, which indicates that the PPGM structure is a promising candidate for application to a development of miniaturized on-chip passive components on Si RFIC.

In this work, the coplanar waveguide is fabricated on a PES (poly[ether sulfone]) substrate for application to a flexible monolithic microwave integrated circuit, and its RF characteristics were thoroughly investigated. The quality factor of the coplanar waveguide on PES is 40.3 at a resonance frequency of 46.7 GHz. A fishbone-type transmission line (FTTL) structure is also fabricated on the PES substrate, and its RF characteristics are investigated. The wavelength of the FTTL on PES is 5.11 mm at 20 GHz, which is 55% of the conventional coplanar waveguide on PES. Using the FTTL, an impedance transformer is fabricated on PES. The size of the impedance transformer is $0.318mm{\times}0.318mm$, which is 69.2% of the size of the transformer fabricated by the conventional coplanar waveguide on PES. The impedance transformer showed return loss values better than -12.9 dB from 5 GHz to 50 GHz and an insertion loss better than -1.13 dB in the same frequency range.

본 논문에서는 10 Gbps급 데이터 전송을 위한 CPW(coplanar waveguide) 피드라인(feed-line)을 이용한 세라믹 스템(stem) 기반의 TO 패키지를 제안하였다. 기존의 금속 기반 TO 패키지에서 사용되는 실린더형 피드라인의 주파수 특성과 세라믹 패키지에서 사용되는 CPW 피드라인의 주파수 특성의 차이를 이론적으로 분석 비교하였다. 그리고 이들 패키지에 DFB 레이저다이오드(laser diode: LD)를 실장하여 측정된 3 dB 주파수 대역폭은 각각 3.5 GHz와 7.8 GHz로 사용된 패키지에 따라 큰 차이를 갖는 것을 밝혔다. 이러한 측정결과는 등가회로를 이용한 이론적인 계산결과와 잘 일치함도 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 LD 광모듈의 주파수 특성을 개선하기 위한 방안으로 세라믹 재질의 비전도성 유전체를 스템으로 이용한 세라믹 스템 기반의 CPW 피드라인을 장착한 새로운 TO 패키지를 제안하였다. 제안된 패키지는 HFSS(high frequency structure simulator)를 이용하여 추출된 S 파라미터 값으로부터 기존의 금속 기반의 TO 패키지보다 월등히 넓은 주파수 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A thin-film transmission line (TFTL) employing a microstrip line/coplanar waveguide (ML/CPW) was fabricated on a silicon substrate for application to a miniaturized on-chip RF component, and the RF characteristics of the device with the proposed structure were investigated. The TFTL employing a ML/CPW composite structure exhibited a shorter wavelength than that of a conventional coplanar waveguide and that of a thin-film microstrip line. When the TFTL with the proposed structure was fabricated to have a length of ${\lambda}/8$, it showed a loss of less than 1.12 dB at up to 30 GHz. The improvement in the periodic capacitance of the TFTL caused for the propagation constant, ${\beta}$, and the effective permittivity, ${\varepsilon}_{eff}$, to have values higher than those of a device with only a conventional coplanar waveguide and a thin film microstrip line. The TFTL with the proposed structure showed a ${\beta}$ of 0.53~2.96 rad/mm and an ${\varepsilon}_{eff}$ of 22.3~25.3 when operating from 5 to 30 GHz. A highly miniaturized impedance transformer was fabricated on a silicon substrate using the proposed TFTL for application to a low-impedance transformation for broadband. The size of the impedance transformer was 0.01 mm2, which is only 1.04% of the size of a transformer fabricated using a conventional coplanar waveguide on a silicon substrate. The impedance transformer showed excellent RF performance for broadband.

This paper presents a method for line segment extraction for 3-d building reconstruction. Building roofs are described as a set of planar polygonal patches, each of which is extracted by watershed-based image segmentation, line segment matching and coplanar grouping. Coplanar grouping and polygonal patch formation are performed per region by selecting 3-d line segments that are matched using epipolar geometry and flight information. The algorithm has been applied to high resolution aerial images and the results show accurate 3-d building reconstruction.

본 논문에서는 접힌 스텝 임피던스 공진기(SIR)를 사용한 CPW 대역통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 한쪽 끝이 접지된 접힌 스텝 임피던스 공진기의 길이는 coplanar waveguide의 동일 평면상 접지면을 이용하면 λ/8까지 줄일 수 있다. 이것은 일반적인 λ/4 스텝 임피던스 공진기를 사용한 대역 통과 여파기와 비교하여 크기를 거의 반으로 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 여파기의 등가회로를 유도하고 이를 이용하여 중심주파수 f$_{0}$=5GHz이고 대역폭이 3%인 대역통과 여파기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 4 폴 대역통과 여파기에 대한 측정치가 IE3D의 시뮬레이션 결과 및 등가회로로 계산된 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 제작된 대역통과 여파기는 하모닉 주파수가 2.5f$_{0}$에서 발생하는 좋은 스퓨리어스 특성을 가진다. 제안된 접힌 스텝 임피던스 공진기를 이용한 대역 통과 여파기는 MMIC 및 고온 초전도체 여파기 등에 응용될 수 있다.다.

In this paper, basic characteristics of transmission line employing PPGM (periodically perforated ground metal) were investigated using theoretical and experimental analysis.According to the results, unlike the conventional PBG (photonic band gap) structures, the characteristic impedance of the transmission line employing PPGM structure showed a real value, which exhibited a very small dependency on frequency. The transmission line employing PPGM structure showed a loss (per quarter wave length) higher by $0.1{\sim}0.2\;dB$ than the conventional microstrip line. According to the investigation of the dependency of RF characteristic on ground condition, the RF characteristic of the transmission line employing PPGM structure was hardly affected by the ground condition in the frequency lower than Ku band, but fairly affected in the frequency higher than Ku band, which indicated that coplanar waveguide employing PPGM structure was optimal for RF characteristic and reduction of size. Considering above results, impedance transformer was developed using coplanar waveguide with PPGM structure for the first time, and good RF characteristics were observed from the impedance transformer. In case that {\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer with a center frequency of 9 GHz was fabricated for a impedance transformation from 20 to10 {\Omega}$, the line width and length were 20 and $500\;{\mu}m$, respectively, and its size was only 0.64 % of the impedance transformer fabricated with conventional microstrip lines. Above results indicate that the transmission line employing PPGM is a promising candidate for a development of matching and passive elements on MMIC.

By using the point matching method, the coplanar waveguide shielded by the rectangular waveguide has been analyzed. The particular potential solution of C.P.W has been obtained from the boundary condition by using the point matching method. The line capacitance has been obtained from the total charge of the center conductor per length. The effective dielectric constant and the line impedance have been obtained from the line capacitance of C.P.W.
