In this paper, a systematic design of a low phase noise voltage-tuned dielectric resonator oscillator(VTDRO) using loop group delay is proposed. Designed VTDRO is closed-loop type and consists of a cascade connection of a resonator, phase shifter, and amplifier. Firstly, a reference VTDRO is fabricated and its phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range are measured. Both the phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range depend on the loop group delay. Then, a required value of loop group delay for a new VTDRO with a low phase noise can be systematically computed. In addition, its phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range can be theoretically estimated using those obtained from the measurement of the reference VTDRO. When the loop group delay increases, the phase noise decreases and the electrical frequency tuning range also decreases. The former predominantly depends on the resonator structure. Therefore we propose a systematic design procedure of a resonator with high group delay characteristics. The measured loop group delay of the new VTDRO is about 700 nsec. The measured phase noise of the new VTDRO show a state-of-the-art performance of 154.5 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz frequency offset and electrical frequency tuning range of 448 kHz for a voltage change of 0~10V. The oscillation power is about 4.39 dBm.

A voltage controlled oscillator using dielectric resonator for 2.4 GHz WLL System is designed and fabricated. To improve the phase noise characteristic resonator is used as an inductor of VCO. At the bias condition of 5 V and 10 mA, the output power and phase noise in the operating frequency range of 2210~2240 MHz are 0 dBm and 100 dBc/Hz 10 kHz offset from the carrier, respectively. The phase noise and harmonic response of fabricated VCO are suitable for WLL system.

An analytic method of computation of the coupling coefficients between a microstripline and a die-lectric resonator is showen in this paper. The relationships among the substrate material, the ground plane, the diele-lents. The theoretically computed values of Qext are compared with the experimentally measured values of Qext in there is no dieletric spacer between them, As a result, the reflection coefficients with the dielectric spacer between the dieletric resonator and the substrate are decreased more than the reflection coefficients without the didlectric spacer between them.

Layered-type dielectric waveguide filters were designed. As the order of layers increased the fabrication process for dielectric waveguide filters which the resonator parts were connected by the lateral direction has many difficulties. The proposed structure in this report was designed based on the layered-type for the some parts of resonators. The size of layered-type dielectric waveguide filters installed on the PCB surface were reduced at 25% as compared with the usual waveguide filters by using a relative dielectric constant 22.

Recently, sensors which use the infrared light, supersonic waves, and electromagnetic waves have been used for many applications to detect information of the object. For these sensors, the accompanying system which utilizes the sensor should be systematically developed. In this paper, a general microwave radar sensor system is briefly described, and then basic applications of a CW doppler radar sensor system are introduced. For the CW doppler radar sensor applications, a highly-stable, low-cost Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO) has also been designed and implemented, which can be used for commercial microwave sensor systems. The implemented DRO has output power of +5.33 dBm at 12.67 GHz and phase noise of -108.5 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset frequency.

The output power of 11.53 dBm, and the second harmonic suppression of 55.33 dBc for the DRO are obtained. This DRO with high stability of the phase noise characteristic can be used for the system in DSRC.

A push-push voltage controlled dielectric resonator oscillator (VCDRO) with a modified frequency tuning structure using broadside couplers is investigated. The push-push VCDRO designed at 16 GHz is manufactured using a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology to reduce the circuit size. The frequency tuning structure using a broadside coupler is embedded in a layer of the A6 substrate by using the LTCC process. Experimental results show that the fundamental and third harmonics are suppressed above 15 dBc and 30 dBc, respectively, and the phase noise of push-push VCDRO is -97.5 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz from the carrier. The proposed frequency tuning structure has a tuning range of 4.46 MHz over a control voltage of 1-11 V. This push-push VCDRO has a miniature size of 15 mm×15 mm. The proposed design and fabrication techniques for a push-push oscillator seem to be applicable in many space and commercial VCDRO products.

In this study, microstructural, dielectric and electrical properties of (Pb$\sub$0.83/) (La$\sub$0.2/Ce$\sub$0.8/)$\sub$0.08/TiO$_3$(PCT) ceramics as a function of MnO$_2$ addition and electrode size variation were investigated for 30 MHz high frequency ceramic resonator application. Grain size was gradually increased according to the increase of MnO$_2$ addition amount. Moreover, the density showed a constant value with increasing MnO$_2$ addition amount. Dielectric constant was decreased with increasing MnO$_2$ addition amount. Curie temperature of all the composition ceramics was nearly constant around 330$^{\circ}C$. The maximum D.R.of 50.5 dB and maximum Q$\sub$mt3/ of 1842 in the 3$\^$rd/ overtone vibration mode were appeared at the composition of 0.3wt% MnO$_2$, respectively.
