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). Microstrip line resonator has the low Q(Qaulity factor). Therefore, as PBG structure was applied, we examined that the phase noise of the oscillator has been reduced.

The Impcdance Matching Condition for maximum power out-pilt cf an Impact oscillator is calculated using the Van der pol's equation. From this calculation, it is found that the load impedance of the oscillator must be one half of the diode impedance for the maximum power output. To get an experimental proof for this result, tole impedance of the Impatt-diode was measured and accordingly the microwave oscillator designed and fabricated. The data obtaiped from the experiments agree fairly closely with the theoretical values.

We propose a new type of spin torque nano-oscillator structure with an exchange- biased free rotating layer. The proposed spin torque nano-oscillator consists of a fixed layer and a free rotating layer with an additional anti-ferromagnetic layer, which leads to an exchange bias in the free rotating layer. The spin dynamics of the exchange-biased free rotating layer can be described as an additional exchange field because the exchange bias manifests itself by the existance of a finite exchange bias field. The exchange bias field plays a similar role to that of a finite external field. Hence, microwave generation can be achieved without an external field in the proposed structure.

Recently, sensors which use the infrared light, supersonic waves, and electromagnetic waves have been used for many applications to detect information of the object. For these sensors, the accompanying system which utilizes the sensor should be systematically developed. In this paper, a general microwave radar sensor system is briefly described, and then basic applications of a CW doppler radar sensor system are introduced. For the CW doppler radar sensor applications, a highly-stable, low-cost Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO) has also been designed and implemented, which can be used for commercial microwave sensor systems. The implemented DRO has output power of +5.33 dBm at 12.67 GHz and phase noise of -108.5 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset frequency.

One of the error sources for microwave ranging is the instability of the oscillator that drives the microwave signals. Dual one-way ranging (DOWR) minimizes the oscillator effect by combining two one-way carrier phase signals from two transmitter/receiver instrument. The DOWR is first implemented in the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellites. Direct evaluation of the DOWR is not possible due to its extremely high accuracy. The flight performance of the GRACE DOWR is analyzed by applying several indirect methods. Comparison with the design noise level is discussed.

This paper presents a novel microwave oscillator incorporating a simple microstrip ring type resonant cell as its terminating resonance component. Reduced chip size, higher dc-ac power efficiency, superior harmonic characteristics can be achieved from the introduction of a compact microstrip ring resonator cell. The oscillator provides a second harmonic suppression of 26.51 dB and the output power of 2.046 dBm at 2.11 GHz.

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)

In this paper, sub-microwave oscillator sensor is proposed to non-invasively monitor the glucose concentration level of the human biological tissue by oscillation frequency variation. Inductive slot in the ground plane of the microstrip line is combined with the biological tissue, to realize the resonator as a part of the oscillator sensor. The phantom box mimicking the human tissue is introduced for simulation of the resonator which resonance frequency correspondingly shifts up on three step glucose concentration levels(0, 400, 800 mg/dL). Oscillator sensor circuit is fabricated as a prototype. Pig tissues instead of human is used. Oscillation frequency shift of about 14 MHz per glucose level of 400 mg/dL has been successfully measured around 1,100 MHz. This proves that the proposed sensor is applicable to a blood glucose sensor.

This paper proposes a frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator employing a novel three-arm dual-output Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). One output of the MZM generates the fundamental-frequency signal which is recycled by the microwave optical fiber link for oscillation, and the other output can generate the frequency-doubled signal. Experiment was conducted using a commercial two-arm MZM, a phase modulator, and an optical fiber link of 89 meters in length. A 19-GHz frequency-doubled signal was successively obtained with fundamental signal suppression more than 36 dB.
