  • This paper proposes a dual-band balun which is based on Wilkinson power divider. By inserting $\lambda/2$ transmission line between port 2 and 3, this balun shows good matching at all ports and improved isolation. We use matamaterial(CRLH, D-CRLH) structure for a miniaturization of the circuit implementation and dual-band operation at TDMB frequency range(195MHz) and DVB-H frequency range(670MHz). The proposed balun is designed with return loss larger than -12.98dB at all port, and isolation larger than -12.4dB, the amplitude imbalance between output signals less than 0.08dB, also phase differences of outputs less than $2.8^{\circ}$.

  • In this paper, electrically small square loop antenna with SRR (Split Ring Resonator) cover structure is built and tested. The proposed antenna has very small size, ka = 0.34 by Chu limit. The experimental result shows that the resonant frequency and impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) are 906MHz and 5.8MHz (901.7 - 907.5MHz), respectively. The proposed antenna is matched and designed by equivalent circuit model. The proposed antenna is fabricated simple structure without additional matching network and printed on a Teflon substrate without ground plane. Therefore, it has advantages of low cost, small size, and light weight and will be applied to wireless communication systems where small antennas are required.

  • A turnstile antenna using the parasitic monopole has been developed for STSAT-2 TT&C application. The antenna consists of two radiating elements; a bow-tie dipole and a parasitic monopole. The bow-tie dipole is main radiating element, used a bow-tie structure for bandwidth improvement and size reduction. The parasitic monopole improved beamwidth and axial ratio. The input impedance of the antenna is about 50 ohm without a matching circuit. The proposed antenna has beamwidth of $>140^{\circ}$, axial ratio of < 3 dB and VSWR of < 1.5 in the band of $2.075{\sim}2.282GHz$.

  • In this paper, using low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) based system-in-package(SiP) technology, a very compact power amplifier LTCC module was designed, fabricated, and then characterized for 60 GHz wireless transmitter applications. In order to reduce the interconnection loss between a LTCC board and power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC), bond-wire transitions were optimized and high-isolated module structure was proposed to integrate the power amplifier MMIC into LTCC board. In the case of wire-bonding transition, a matching circuit was designed on the LTCC substrate and interconnection space between wires was optimized in terms of their angle. In addition, the wire-bonding structure of coplanar waveguide type was used to reduce radiation of EM-fields due to interconnection discontinuity. For high-isolated module structure, DC bias lines were fully embedded into the LTCC substrate and shielded with vias. Using 5-layer LTCC dielectrics, the power amplifier LTCC module was fabricated and its size is $4.6{\times}4.9{\times}0.5mm^3$. The fabricated module shows the gain of 10 dB and the output power of 11 dBm at P1dB compression point from 60 to 65 GHz.

  • An objective of this study is to develop a voltage measuring device that uses a gas-filled switch (GS) on 22.9 kV-y extra-high voltage distribution lines. The voltage measuring device proposed in this paper is a kind of capacitive divider which consists of a detecting electrode attached outside of the bushing of GS, an impedance matching circuit, and a voltage buffer. It can be easily installed in an established GS without changing the structure. For the calibration and application investigations, the voltage measuring device was set up in the 25.8 kV 400 A GS, and a step pulse generator having 5 ns rise time is used. As a result, it was found that the frequency bandwidth of the voltage measuring device ranges from 1.35 Hz to about 13 MHz. The error of voltage dividing ratio which is evaluated by the commercial frequency voltage of 60 Hz was less than 0.2%. In addition, voltage dividing ratio in the commercial frequency voltage and in a non-oscillating impulse voltage were compared, and their deviation were less than 0.7%.

  • This paper presents a power detector circuit which monitors the transmitting power for the application in CDMA cell phones. The proposed power detector are composed of coupler for coupling output power and detector fur monitoring output power. The designed coupler has low loss characteristic because it adopts the stripline structure which consists of two ground planes at both sides of signal plane. The design frequency is 824-849MHz which is the Tx band fur CDMA mobile terminal, and the coupling factor of the stripline coupler is -20dB. A schottky barrier diode is adopted for detector design because of its high speed operation with minimized loss. The required impedance matching is performed to improve the linearity and sensitivity of output voltage at relatively low detector input level where the nonlinear characteristic of diode exists. The package parasitics as well as intrinsic diode model are considered for simulation of the detector. The predicted performances agree well with the measured results.

  • In a split beam echo sounder, the transducer design needs to have minimal side lobes because the angular position and level of the side lobes establishes the usable signal level and phase angle limits for determining target strength. In order to suppress effectively the generation of unwanted side lobes in the directivity pattern of split beam transducer, the spacing and size of the transducer elements need to be controlled less than half of a wavelength. With this purpose, a 50 kHz tonpilz type transducer with a half-wavelength diameter in relation to the development of a split beam transducer was designed using the equivalent circuit model, and the underwater performance characteristics were measured and analyzed. From the in-air and in-water impedance responses, the measured value of the electro-acoustic conversion efficiency for the designed transducer was 51.6%. A maximum transmitting voltage response (TVR) value of 172.25dB re $1{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1m was achieved at 52.92kHz with a specially designed matching network and the quality factor was 10.3 with the transmitting bandwidth of 5.14kHz. A maximum receiving sensitivity (SRT) of -183.57dB re $1V/{\mu}Pa$ was measured at 51.45kHz and the receiving bandwidth at -3dB was 1.71kHz. These results suggest that the designed tonpilz type transducer can be effectively used in the development of a split beam transducer for a 50kHz fish sizing echo sounder.

  • In this paper, we have studied the improvement of gain and bandwidth characteristics by using double feeding and L-shaped inset feed line matching circuit in microstrip stacked patch antenna which is widely used to broaden the gain of general microstrip antenna. The proposed structure is composed of two feeding edges of the main patch antenna, each of them are connected to a feeding line having an L shaped inset feeder. And the parasitic patch is placed at a proper distance above the main patch. The size of the main patch is designed so that the resonance frequency is close to the center frequency of the target frequency band. The experimental results show that the bandwidth was increased more than 180MHz in the 2.3-2.7 GHz band, which is more interesting than the single feed, and the gain improvement of 2.5dBi was obtained at 2.7GHz.

  • In this paper, a high-efficiency power amplifier was designed by applying the operating point Class J using LDMOS(laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor) and optimizing the output matching circuit so that the second harmonic impedance becomes the reactance impedance. The designed power amplifier has a frequency of 108 ~ 110 MHz, Characteristics of PAE(power added efficiency) is 71.5% at PSAT output (54.5 dBm), 55.5% at P1dB output (51.5 dBm), and 24.38% at 45 dBm. The CSB(carrier with sideband) amplifier, which is the reference signal in the spatial modulation method, has an operating output of 45 dBm ~ 35 dBm, and linear SDM(sum in the depth of modulation) characteristics(40% ± 0.3%) were obtained. We measure the characteristics in amplitude modulation according to the bias operating point of the power amplifier for CSB and propose the optimal operating point to obtain linear modulation characteristics.
