This paper proposes new configuration for the dual power amplifier that operates at 5.8 GHz for the wireless LAN and 1.8 GHz for the PCS. It dose not select the input signal but amplify the dual band signals simultaneously. Broadband diplexer is used at the input to separate the dual band signals. Output power of each amplifier is 1 W. The PBG is employed to improve the performance of power amplifier. Generally, the PBG is employed at the end of output matching network. But in this paper, the PBG is employed in the load pull output matching circuit of amplifer to maximize the output power.

This paper presents the design of dual-band VCO using PBG structure for IEEE 802.11A/B. By adding switch circuit to the single-band VCO, we could achieve a dual-band VCO. The center frequencies of dual-band VCO are 5.93GHz(-13dBm) and 2.37GHz (3.50dBm). The phase noise is improved about l0dB by using PBG Structure.

In this paper, the PAE (Power Added Efficiency) and the linearity of the Doherty amplifier has been improved using dual bias control and PBG (Photonic BandGap) structure. The PBG structure has used to implement on output matching circuit and dual bias control has applied to improve the PAE of the Doherty amplifier at a low input level by applying it to a carrier amplifier. The Doherty amplifier using the proposed structure has improved PAE by 8% and 5dBc of IMD3 (3rd Inter-Modulation Distortion) compared with those of the conventional class AB amplifier. In addition to, it has been evident that the designed the structure has showed more than a 30% increase in PAE for flatness over all input power level.

In this paper, dual bias control circuit and PBG(Photonic BandGap) structure have been employed to improve PAE(Power Added Effciency) of the Doherty amplifier on Input power level. The gate and drain bias voltage has been controlled with the envelope of the input RF signal and PBG structure has been employed on the output port of Doherty amplifier. The proposed Doherty amplifier using dual bias controlled circuit and PBG has been improved the average PAE by 8%, $IMD_3$ by -5 dBc. And proposed Doherty amplifier has a high efficiency more than 30% on overall input power level, respectively.

In this paper, we proposed the effective serial connection methodology of PBG resonator with defect mode. We use the big difference of impedance ratio in connection region, for example dual PBG, for serial connection. This method reduces the PBG cells and is able to control the pole of bandpass filters. This result in flexibility in design of bandpass filter. Our PBG bandpass filter is modeled by using the ideal transmission line model. This model is very easy, fast, and effective for PBG structure.

In this paper, the low-phase dual-band VCO, by adding switching circuit with PIN diode at feedback loop of the oscillation part having negative-resistance, is realized. In order to reduce the phase noise of the VCO, PBG structure applied to the ground plane of the resonator. When applying for PBG structure, output power is -9.17㏈m and phase noise is -102㏈c/Hz at 5.25㎓, output power is -5.17㏈m and phase noise is -101㏈c/Hz at 1.8㎓, respectively.
