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.

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.

A finite-element method is used to analyze loss generation and electromagnetic noise absorption characteristics of a coplanar waveguide transmission line integrated with a magnetic thin film. Parameters used in the analysis are the electrical resistivity of the magnetic layer and the thickness of both magnetic and insulating layers. The results indicate that L-C resonance is the main loss mechanism of the electromagnetic noise absorption.

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.

A non-integrated type noise filter on a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) transmission line is demonstrated by using a highly resistive $Co_{41}Fe_{38}Al_{13}O_8$ nanogranular thin film with the dimensions of $4\;mm (\iota)\times4\;mm(\omega)\times0.1\;{\mu}m(t)$. The noise suppression characteristics are evaluated without placing an insulating layer between the CPW line and the magnetic thin film. The insertion loss is very low being less than 0.3 dB and this low value is maintained up to 2 GHz. At a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 3.3 GHz, the power loss is very large and the degree of noise attenuation is measured to be 3 dB. This level of noise attenuation is still small for real applications; however, considering the small magnetic volume used in this work, further improvement is expected by simply increasing the magnetic volume and by integrating the magnetic thin film into the CPW transmission line.

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.

마이크로스트립 선로 형태의 전송선로 밑면에 플로팅 동판을 위치시키면 플로팅 동판과 접지면 사이의 단락 또는 개방 연결에 따라 전송선로는 마이크로스트립 선로 또는 코플라나 선로 형태로 동작하게 된다. 이러한 동작은 하나의 전송 선로 폭에 대해 서로 다른 두 개의 특성 임피던스를 가질 수 있음을 의미한다. 플로팅 동판이 존재하는 마이크로스트립 전송 선로를 이용하여 안정적인 입력 정합 상태를 가지며 조건에 따라 단순히 신호를 전달하는 2-단자 전력 전송 선로 또는 전력 분배가 가능한 2-way 전력 분배 회로로 동작할 수 있는 가변 전송선로를 제안 및 제작하였다. 제안된 회로는 코플라나 선로로 동작하는 경우에는 전력 전송 선로로 동작하고, 마이크로스트립 선로로 동작하는 경우에는 2-way 전력 분배 회로로 동작한다. 제작된 가변 전송 선로는 700 MHz 이상의 주파수에서 전력 전송 선로로 동작하는 경우 -0.2 dB 이내의 전달 손실($S_{21}$)과 -15 dB 이하의 반사 계수($S_{11}$)를 보였으며, 전력 분배 선로로 동작하는 경우에는 -10 dB 이하의 반사 계수($S_{11}$), -3.8 dB이내의 전달 손실($S_{21}$ or $S_{31}$), ${\pm}0.3dB$이내의 출력 전력차($S_{21}/S_{31}$)를 보였다.

High speed probe for measurement of sin91e flux quantum circuits is comprised of coaxial cables and microstrip lines in order to carry high speed signals without loss. For the impedance matching between coaxial cable and microstrip line, we have determined the dimension of the microstrip line with 50${\Omega}$ impedance by simulation and then have investigated the effect of line width and cross-sectional shape of signal line, dielectric material, thickness of soldering lead at the coaxial-to-microstrip transition Point, and the an91c between dielectric material and end part of the signal line on the characteristics of signal transmission of the microstrip line. From the simulation, we have found that these all parameter's had influenced on the characteristic of signal transmission on the microstrip line and should be reflected in fabricating high speed probe, We have also determined the dimension of coplanar waveguide to fabricate testing sample for performance test of high speed probe.
