A Fabry-Perot resonator cavity antenna for Ku-band application is presented in this paper. The Fabry-Perot cavity is formed by a ground plane and a frequency selective surface (FSS) made of a circular hole array. The cavity resonance is excited by a single-feed microstrip patch located inside the cavity. The measured results show that the proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of approximately 13% ($VSWR{\leq}2$) and a 3-dB gain bandwidth of approximately 7%. The antenna produces a maximum gain of 18.5 dBi and good radiation patterns over the entire 3-dB gain bandwidth. The antenna's very thin profile, high directivity, and single excitation feed make it promising for use in wireless and satellite communication applications in a Ku-band frequency.

In this paper a four-pole elliptic function bandpass filter is designed with two ground slots. A research of microstrip bandpass filters (BPF) using defected ground structures (DGS) is presented. DGS technique allows designs of tight couplings without the necessity of using very narrow coupling gaps. The simulator Sonnet is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficient of the basic coupling structure. Compared to similar microstrip filters without defected ground structure, the simulated performances of these novel structures indicate some technological advantages.

This paper reveals the impact of the insertion of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures on the performance of circularly polarized (CP) patch-slot antenna with offset slot. Several optimizations are necessary to precise physical parameters in the aim to fix the resonance frequency at 3.2 GHz. The proposed antenna possesses lightweight, simplicity, low cost, and circular polarization ensured by two feeding sources to permit right-hand and left-hand circular polarization process (RHCP and LHCP). The measured results compared with simulation results of the proposed circularly polarized EBG antenna with offset slot show good band operations with –10 dB impedance bandwidths of 9.1% and 36.2% centered at 3.2 GHz, which cover weather radar, surface ship radar, and some communications satellites bands. Our investigation will confirm the simulation and experimental results of the EBG antenna involving new EBG structures.

In this paper, a new technique to reduce the phase noise in microwave oscillators is proposed using the resonant characteristics of the Photonic Bandgap(PBG). We applied PBG structure to ground of the microstrip line resonator with the low Q(Quality factor). Therefore, we improved about 10 dBc in contrast to phase noise characteristic of the conventional microstrip line oscillator at 2.4 GHz ＠ 100 MHz offset. Output power is 7.09 dBm.

For the purpose of decreasing intermodulation distortion, a new multi-harmonic suppression band-pass filter based on a microstrip radial stub is studied. Compared with traditional resonator filters, the new filter can suppress the second, third, and even fourth harmonics directly. The dimension of the filter is about $0.3\;{\lambda}_{g^0}{\times}0.13\;{\lambda}_{g^0}$ (${\lambda}_{g^0}$ is the guiding wavelength at the resonant frequency). Only one gap was introduced, so lower insertion loss can be obtained. Basic agreement between the measured and simulated results has been achieved.

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.

A new measurement method of coupled transmission line characteristics is described. This method presents precision values of even-and odd-mode impedances as well as effective dielectric constants of symmetric parallel coupled microstrip lines from the scalar quantities obtained by transmission coefficients at two different resonance frequencies. Especially these values include dispersion effects in the measured frequency band. The measured impedances and effective dielectric constants of actually fabricated coupled lines on the Teflon substrates with low dielectric constants are good agreement with predicted values. And the experimental pass band characteristics of single section resonator by using previously designed coupled lines agree well with theoretical values.

A novel lowpass filter with a very sharp transition band and wide stopband is proposed. The proposed filter is based on T-shaped patches which are etched in symmetrical structures and folded open stub. To obtain a wide stopband, we have used stub loaded semi-circle stepped-impedance structures. By designing the resonator with high inductance and capacitance, a very sharp transition band is achieved. The proposed filter has a 3-dB cutoff frequency at 2.37 GHz and a 40-dB rejection at 2.44 GHz. The stopband with an attenuation level better than -13.2 dB is up from 2.4 GHz to 16 GHz, and consequently we have reached the high and wide rejection in stopband with compact size. Good agreements between the simulated and the measured results are presented.

In this paper, the authors present the simulation results and the experimental considerations on the effects of the effects of the VCO oscillation characteristics caused by varying the length of the MSL and the composition capacitance of LC resonation circuity. Simulation was accomplished by nonlinear RF circuit simulator for designing and analyzing the RF characteristis of VCO. The samples with 3 different MSL lengths of which the length is 140mil, 280mil and 560mil respectively were fabricated by screen printing process. The oscillation frequency of each sample(VCO) was tuned to UHF band (750MHz~900MHz) by varying the capacitance of LC resonator circuit. The experimental results showed that the values of phase noise were -82, -93, -97[dBc/Hz] at 50[kHz] offset frequency, the pushing figures were 114, 94, 318[kHz] at applied voltage of $3\pm0.15$[V] and the harmonics were -21, -16, -13[dBc] for MSL lengths of 140mil 280mil, 560mil respectively. The frequency and output variation width were 779~898[MHz], -36~-33[dBm] for MSL with 140mil length; 818~836[MHz], -27.19~27.06[dBm] for 280mil; 751.54~751.198[MHz], -33.44~-33.31[dBm] for 560mil.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the dielectric constant of a planar substrate is proposed. To this end, a band-stop filter was created by adding a H-shaped resonant aperture to the ground plane of a microstrip transmission line. A planar substrate of 2 mm thickness was placed behind the ground plane of the microstrip transmission line and the change of the resonant frequency with the change of the dielectric constant of the substrate was investigated. It can be seen that the change ratio of the frequency to the reference resonant frequency is larger than that of the conventional complementary split ring resonator structure.
