This paper analyzed the phase noise characteristics of frequency-shifting module by figuring out the relationship between the phase noise components of 1st and 2nd local oscillator composing the frequency-shifting module and those of RF output signals shifted in frequency. Also, frequency-shifting module with the improvement of the phase noise performance was designed and implemented by means that the phase noise components of 1st local oscillator were cancelled in the output signal. Output signal has been affected by only phase noise of 2nd local oscillator, which had excellent phase noise performance than that of the 1st local oscillator.

In this paper, we present the simulation results of multi-layer VCO(voltage controlled oscillator), which is composed of resonator, oscillator, and buffer circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for obtaining the EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing the multi-layer VCO. Obtained EM characteristics were used as real components in nonlinear RF circuit simulation. Finally the overall VCO was simulated by the nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was Dupont 951AT, which will be applied for LTCC process. The structure of multi-layer VCO is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 4.5 [dBm], the phase noise was -104 [dBc/Hz] at 30 [kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8 dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30 [MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of 9.5 [mA]. The size of VCO is $6{\times}9{\times}2 mm$(0.11 [cc]).

This paper presents a novel defected ground structure (DGS) and its application to a microwave oscillator. The presented oscillator is designed so as to use the suggested defected ground structure as a feedback loop inducing a negative resistance as well as a frequency-selective circuit. Applying the feedback loop between the drain and the gate of a FET device produces precise phase conversion in the feedback loop. The equivalent circuit parameters of the DGS are extracted by using a three-dimensional EM calculations and simple circuit analysis method. The implemented 1.07 GHz oscillator exhibits 0 dBm output power with over 15% dc-to-RF power efficiency and -106 dBc/Hz phase noise at 100 kHz offset from carrier.

본 논문에서는 발진기의 위상잡음을 개선하고 MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)에 적용 가능하도록 설계된 분리된 링형 DGS(Defected Ground Structure)공진기를 제안한다. 이것은 평면형 공진기로서 소형화 설계가 용이하고 상대적으로 높은 Q 값을 갖는다. 공진기를 이용하여 초고주파 발진기를 설계할 때 공진기의 등가 파라미터를 모델링하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 발진기의 설계에 필요한 공진기의 등가회로 파라미터를 공진기의 측정된 특성 값으로부터 수식적으로 계산하는 방법을 나타내었다. 방법을 검증하기 위해 공진주파수가 5.8 GHz인 링형 DGS 공진기를 제작하여 특성을 측정하고 등가 파라미터를 계산하였고, 이 결과를 ADS 도구를 이용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과와 비교하여 일치함을 보였다.

The objective of this study was to develop a real-time soil moisture meter using RF impedance. The impedance suchas capacitance and resistance (or conductance) was analyzed using parallel cylinder type capacitance probe(C-probe) and Q-meter (HP4342). The capacitance and conductance of soil increased as volumetric water content increased. The 5 MHz of modified Colpitts type crystal oscillator was designed to detect the capacitance change of the C-probe with moist soil. A third order polynomial regression model was proposed to describe the relationship between RF impedance and volumetric water content. The prototype real time moisture meter consisted of the C-probe, sample container, oscillator, frequency counter and related signal processing units. The calibration equation for measurement of volumetric moisture content of soil was developed and validated. The correlation coefficient and root mean square error between measured volumetric water content by oven method and predicted values by prototype moisture meter for unknown soil samples were 0.984 and 0.032$cm^3$$cm\^3$, respectively.
