A new low phase noise Dielectric Resonator Parallel Feedback Oscillator(DRPFO) that is proposed in this paper has a simple structure so that it can be fabricated in low cost and with high performance. The proposed DRPFO is in a feedback loop oscillator configuration, which is composed of a low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, a power attenuator, a power divider and a parallel resonator feedback element that consists of a dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. The measured phase noise of DRPFO was less than -81 dBc/Hz at offset frequency 1 kHz of 10.75 GHz carrier frequency, and the frequency stability of DRPFO was less than $\pm$200 kHz over the temperature range of -40$^{\circ}$C to +60$^{\circ}$C.

In this paper, a new CMOS RF model for RF IC design including the capacitance effect, the skin effect, and the proximity effect between metal lines on the Si surface is proposed for tile first time for accurately predicting the RF behavior of CMOS devices. The capacitances between metal lines on the Si surface are modeled with the layout. And the skin effect is modeled with a parallel branch added in equivalent circuit of metal line. The proximity effect is modeled by adding the mutual inductance between cross-coupled inductances in the ladder circuit representation. Compared to the BSIM 3v3. the proposed RF model shows good agreements with the measured data and shows well the frequency dependent behavior of devices in GHz ranges.

In this paper, the parallel coupled line(PCL) band-pass filter satisfying IEEE 802.11a (a:$5.15{\sim}5.25$, b:$5.25{\sim}5.35$, c:$5.725{\sim}5.875$ [GHz]) has been designed for 5[GHz]band W-Lan RX-System applications. The designed PCL Band-Pass filter is of advantage to make a design formula that is small, light and approximate accuracy. It choose a microstrip plane figure because it is possible that a multiplicity of resonator was designed. It was shown that bandwidth was 14% from 5.15GHz to 5.92GHz at the -3dB designed filter. As a result, it is enough to use the designed filter at W-LAN RX-system of the 5GHz band.

The demands for the various type of directional coupler, which is for the sampling of the signal levels in mobile communication baseband or transceiver systems, are growing. The proposed dual directional coupler, which has three parallel coupled transmission lines, can provide the dual coupling and good isolation characteristics between the coupling ports. In this paper, the novel analysis method and the design equation of even and odd mode for the dual directional coupler, which is employing the asymmetrically coupled transmission lines, are proposed. Using the proposed method, the dual directional coupler for PCS system has been designed and fabricated. We obtained the desired coupling value and the high directivity of 40dB. Measured results show the validity of this design method.

In this paper, A VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in use of clock recovery/data regeneration circuit for 10 Gbps fiber optic receivers was developed. The improved hair-pin resonator with a parallel coupled lines, which has been applied to microstrip filters, was used as a resonance part. As a frequcncy tuning device by substituting 3-terminalMESFET vaaractor for varactor diode, an MMIC manufacturing process will be simplified. Since a hair-pin resonator is planar type compared to the dielectric resonator and has a relatively flat reactance verus frequency, it will be favorable to apply a hair-pin resonator to an MMIC, in addition wideband frequency tuning range is able to be obtained.

본 논문에서는 N개의 평행 결합선로를 이용한 3dB 결합기를 해석하였으며, 유도된 식에 의하여 최소의 단수와 크기로 3dB 결합기를 설계하였다. 기존의 Spectral Domain상에서 N단 평행 결합선로의 복잡한 관계식 유도를 S 파라미터 관계식으로 간단히 유도 하였으며, 유도된 식의 타당성을 위해 실제 제작 검증하였다. 제작된 결합기는 Loose coupling의 평행 결합 선로의 광대역 특성을 그대로 이용하기 때문에 Lange Coupler와 같은 높은 임피던스와 Tight coupling을 구현 할 필요가 없으며, wire bonding도 용이하게 된다. 최소의 단수로 구현하기 위해 RT/Duroid의 R06006과 같은 높은 유전율과 두꺼운 기판을 사용하여 2단으로 3dB 구현이 가능하게 하였다. 제작결과 3.6GHz에서5.5GHz로 대략 42%(0.5dB imbalance) 정도의 광대역특성을 가지고 위상오차도 1$^{\circ}$내외의 결합기를 구현할 수 있었고 격리도 특성 또한 대역 내에서 15dB 내외의 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, a broadband phase shifter structure using a new switched network was proposed. A new reference network is composed of coupled lines and 45$^{\circ}$open and short stubs, which are shunted at the edge points of a main line, respectively, A delay network is composed of only a standard transmission line. It is possible to design a broadband 180$^{\circ}$phase shifter that phase dispersive characteristics by an impedance ratio R of coupled lines and greater phase dispersive characteristics by characteristic impedances Zm, Zs of a main line and stubs are used together. By considering a structure symmetry, the even and odd mode analysis was performed to obtain theoretical S-parameters of the proposed phase shifter. Also, through computer simulation on the basis of derived equations, design graphs were presented to optimally design a 180$^{\circ}$broadband phase shifter. Design graphs provide the values of characteristic impedances Zm, Zs, and I/O match and phase bandwidths. To verify electrical performances of the broadband phase shifter proposed in this paper, low different 180$^{\circ}$phase shifters, operated at the center frequency 3 GHz were designed and fabricated using design graphs, and were experimented. One of them was designed as a standard Schiffman structure to compare with electrical performances. Measured results of each phase shifter to satisfy simultaneously design conditions of I/O match （VSWR=1.15:1) and maximum phase deviation $({\varepsilon}_{{\Delta}{\phi}}＝{\pm}2^{\circ})$ were well in agreement with corresponding simulation results over impedance match and phase error bandwidths, and showed broadband characteristics.
