This paper presents a compact power divider using microstrip-slotline transition technology. By using the microstrip-slotline transition, the ${\lambda}/4$ transmission lines of the divider can be changed to two ${\lambda}/8$ transmission lines in the multilayer structure. In the microstrip-slotline transition, we have used via holes to make a short circuit at the microstrip line and embedded spiral configuration stubs to reduce the electrical length of an open circuit at the slotline end point. For validating the microstrip-slotline technique, we have simulated and implemented the power divider with embedded spiral and via hole configuration circuits at a frequency of 2 GHz. Good agreement between the simulation and the measurement results is obtained at the operating frequency.

This paper proposes a design for microstrip patch antenna with dual resonance and dual polarization fed by proximity coupled quarter wavelength stub. The antenna characteristics are analyzed by the FDTD method with Mur's 2nd order ABC. From the simulation results based on the FDTD method, frequency characteristics of structure parameters such as the patch size and the offset feed are investigated. The numerical results are compared with the experimental results, and the comparison shows reasonable agreement for a design frequency.

In this letter, a novel compact duplexer which consists of Tx and Rx Filter using microstrip line ${\lambda}/4$ resonators with a pair of tap-connected open-ended stepped impedance stubs is designed. The tapped open stubs not only work as K-inverters but also introduce attenuation poles, attenuation poles are located at upper and lower side of the passband by adjusting the open stub length and width. The result of measurement duplexer has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional bandpass filter and similar to those of simulation results.

Dual-band microstrip antenna is designed for industrial-scientific-medical(ISM) band of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz using finite-difference time-domain method(FDTD). Cross patch 130 by aperture in the ground plane of microstrip line is proposed as radiation element of antenna which is 2 rectangular patch is overlapped. To design antenna, change of input impedance is examined by length change of aperture and stub. And center frequency and - 10 dB bandwidth are investigated by change of length and width in radiation element. Measured result about reflection loss confirm that agree well with simulation results of FDTD and IE3D. And 3 dB beam width, front to back ratio and maximum gain is presented by measuring radiation pattern of antenna in frequency 2.43 GHz and 5.79 GHz.

In this paper, the broadband microstrip antenna with small size, thin-profile, conformability and ease of manufacture is proposed for providing PCS(down link: 1.75GHz∼1.78GHz, up link: 1.84GHz∼1.87GHz) '||'&'||' IMT-2000(down link: 1.92GHz∼1.98GHz, up link: 2.11GHz∼2.17GHz) services simultaneously. By using double U-slots and matching stub, the bandwidth and operating performance of printed antenna was significantly improved, with need for a complex fabrication procedure. We have also studied the various parameters of the U-slot$_2$for the performances of the antenna. Impedance bandwidth of the wideband microstrip antenna with the double U-slots is about 30.45% (VSWR<2)

In this paper, we propose a wideband band-stop filter (BSF) in order to extend the stopband of the band-stop filter using a symmetric dual spurline and the coupled open stub. First, we know that the symmetric dual spurline structure is advantageous in widening the stopband, as compared to the asymmetric dual spurline structure. So we designed a band-stop filter that combines the electrically coupled open stub (ECOS) band-stop filter with a symmetric dual spurline. We can greatly extend the stopband, when it is combined with the dual spurline and electrically coupled open stub on a microstrip transmission line, without any size increment. The stopband of the proposed band-stop filter is extended by approximately 244% (rejection depth: -20 dB) compared with a band-stop filter without a dual spurline.

In this paper, single, two, and three-section microstrip directional couplers are implemented for realizing the high directivity characteristics. The achievement of the high directivity with microstrip configuration is carried out by the distributed capacitor to decrease the even and odd mode phase difference. Capacitive compensation is performed by gap coupling of open stub formed in sub-coupled line. Therefore, insertion loss and power handling capability are not affected by the gap coupling. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate and incorporate another microwave device due to the planner microstrip. We designed and fabricated single, two, and three-section directional coupler with 20 ㏈ coupling. In spite of microstrip structure, the capacitive compensation structure shows 30 ㏈, 27 ㏈, and 25 ㏈ of directivity in single, two, and three-section directional couplers, respectively.

A design method for minimizing transmission loss of a broadband right-angle transition from a coaxial cable to a microstrip line is presented. The right-angle transition has been widely used where printed circuit applications need to be fed from behind the ground plane using coaxial line. To obtain the minimized transmission loss over the whole operating frequency range of the transition, design parameters such as ground aperture and probe diameters, ground aperture offset, and stub length are optimized using a commercial electromagnetic simulation software. Results are presented for the optimum right-angle transition from an SMA connector to a microstrip line on common reinforced 0.787 mm thick PTFE substrates. Measurements of a fabricated transition show that reflection coefficient is less than -22 dB and insertion loss is less than 0.45 dB over $0.05{\sim}20GHz$.

In this paper, a novel CRLH-TL unit cell with controllable transmission zeros was proposed. Proposed composite right/left handed transmission line(CRLH-TL) unit cell is implemented in the form of the metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitors, the microstrip stub inductors, and the co-planar waveguide(CPW) inductor. And this proposed CRLH-TL generates two transmission zeros in lower/upper passband by the effort of electromagnetic couplings between each MIM capacitors and microstrip stub inductors. Using this proposed CRLH-TL, broad bandpass filter for UWB system was designed and fabricated. The measured results reveal that the two transmission zeros are observed in lower/upper passband and the overall size of the filter, excluding the feed line is about 8 mm$\times$8 mm, less then $\lambda_g$/4 on electric size.
