Frequency-multiplication technology based on microwave photonic principles can be used to generate microwave and millimeter wave signals with a wide frequency tuning range. However, the existing cascaded external modulation frequency-tupling scheme needs to ensure the phase coherence of the modulated Radio Frequency (RF) signal, while the phase modulation directly limits the frequency tuning range of the external modulation frequency multiplication. In this paper, a novel approach for generating an incoherent frequency 12-tupling signal with cascade modulation is proposed. The structure of cascaded dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators can generate a frequency 12-tupling signal. The proposed structure uses no filter or phase control of the RF driving signal. Microwave photonic frequency-tupling was realized under incoherent conditions. Software simulations and experiments validated the proposed structure and proved that it can generate frequency 12-tupling microwave signals under incoherent conditions. Both the frequency range and reliability of the frequency-tupling system has been improved by the proposed structure.

The coliform group, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus were analyzed for eliminating of microorganism spore which could be embeded in honey and eradication of studied for heat resistance of thermoacidophilic bacteria was studied for marketing of honey after producing honey drink. The method for analyzing of heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria was membrane-seperated cell culture with $0.45\;{\mu}m$ micro-filter and vacuum aspirator. The results of bacteria, coliform group, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus was negative, but normal method such as sterilization with electrolyzed water, normal micro-filter, high-temperature heating and microwave did not have effect on heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria. Also, absolute type micro-filter of $0.45\;{\mu}m$ and $0.8\;{\mu}m$ microfilteration showed higher effect on heat resistance thermoacidophilic bacteria than micro-filter of normal type, showing negative results at all treatments.

In this paper, we proposed novel multilayer photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using DSL(Descended Signal Line). From measurement result, the proposed PBG structure using DSL is reduced 72 % at size and increased 13 % at bandwidth compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). It is also reduced 42 % at size and increased 23 % at bandwidth compared to PBG structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane). In case of measurement for manufactured six PBG patterns, all patterns have the same cutoff frequency and bandstop characteristics. So it can be used for bandstop filter having very precise tolerance of below 300 MHz at 20 ㎓ if it is applied to real product and this filter will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

This article presents a band-stop filter (BSF) by using a periodic structure property of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) embedded in a microstrip transmission line. The proposed BSF is designed with FSS unit cells modifying the cross-loop slots. The BSF is interpreted with an equivalent circuit model and a dispersion diagram. The center frequency (fo) of the BSF is 6.6GHz. Proposed filter increases the number of unit cell. As a result, 3dB bandwidth is wider and insertion loss is reduced. Also, Facbricated BSF exhibits uniplanar geometry, simple fabrication.

A 2 stage 6-pole bandpass filter (BPF) is designed and implemented by using K-band triple-mode cavity. The BPF has an 100MHz bandwidth at the center frequency of 18.5GHz and the response of the filter is Chebyshev function. The cavity filter uses two orthogonal $TE_{113}$ modes and one $TM_{012}$ mode. To obtain a Chebyshev response, the intercavity coupling between the adjacent cavities is accomplished by H-field component of TE modes parallel to slot plate. In this paper, the size and location of intercavity slot are determined by the detailed coupling equation from H-field of TE resonant modes in circular cavity. The measured results agree well with the theoretical one.

In this paper, the method of design of the waveguide band-pass filter and limiter in radar system is proposed. First, we design a self-resonant iris, which can behave as a band-pass filter by mounting the PIN diode on the iris. When low power microwave is incident on the proposed element, the element behaves as a band-pass filter. Under a high power microwave condition, however, the element behaves as a limiter having wide band stop characteristics. The fabricated element has a pass band with -0.7 dB insertion loss at 10 GHz under the low power condition and isolation about 25 dB under the high power condition.

One of the most important design parameters in a microwave radio transmitting system is to reduce spurious response from the output spectrum of the transmitting system. A Local oscillator (LO) is seldom totally pure and at the least contain some LO harmonic signals. A LO or any oscillator is a transmitter if provided with a suitable radiator, conduction, or leakage path. Where mixer is employed in the output of the LO mixer generated spurs can be increased by RF amplifier. To reduce LO leakage, notch filter or band pass filter has been conventionally used. In this paper, the leakage reduction(LR) signal, which has the same magnitude and the opposite phase with respect to LO leakage signal, is added to the output of mixer of the wireless LAN system. The LO leakage is reduced by 30 dB more than the conventional methods do. The proposed method is potentially suitable for low-cost, reliable, and simple application of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)

Narrowband bandpass waveguide filters using inducive post obstacles are designed and constructed to have an equal-ripple bandwidth of 50MHz at a center frequency of 9GHz. Both the triple-post and the single-post configurations are realized and compared. The measured results for both filters show good agreement with the theoretical calculations. When the two filters are compared, the performance of the triple-post filter is better than that of the single-post filter.

Many communication systems require bandpass filters with sharp skirt frequency characteristics in order to avoid the interferencce, which results in more order in the filter design. However, because of the limited Q values bandpass filters made of small sized ceramic resonators suffer from relatively large ripples at the band edges as the order of the filter increases. In order to compensate the large ripples while maintaining the sharp skirt frequency we propose a new RF amplitude equalizer. The equalizer made of two pole bandpass filter and an amplifier whose amplitude characteristics are the reverse of those of the bandapss filter. At the cellular band 9-pole bandpass filter with 10 MHz bandwidth exhibits 3 dB ripple when 8mm*8mm ceramic coaxial resonators are used. We added the RF equalizer to this filter and the flatness is improved as less than 1 dB.
