In this paper, the phase locked harmonic oscillator(PLHO) using the analog PLL(Phase Locked Loop) is designed and implemented for a wireless LAN system. The harmonic oscillator is consisted of a ring resonator, a varactor diode and a PLL circuit. Because the fundamental fiequency of 8.5 GHz is used as the feedback signal for the PLL and the 2nd harmonic of 17.0 GHz is used as the output, a analog frequency divider for the phase comparison in the PLL system can be omitted. For the simple PLL circuit, the SPD(Sampling Phase Detector) as a phase comparator is used. The output power of the phase locked harmonic oscillator is 2.23 dBm at 17 GHz. The fundamental and 3rd harmonic suppressions are -31.5 dBc and -29.0 dBc, respectively. The measured phase noise characteristics are -87.6 dBc/Hz and -95.4 dBc/Hz at the of offset frequency of 1 kHz and 10 kHz from the carrier, respectively.

In this paper, a novel flexible microfluidic metamaterial absorber is proposed for remote chemical sensor applications. The proposed metamaterial absorber consists of a periodic of split-ring-cross resonators(SRCRs) and a microfluidic channel. The SRCR patterns are inkjet-printed using silver nanoparticle inks on paper. The microfluidic channels are laser-etched on polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) material. The proposed absorber can detect change of the effective permittivity at different liquids. Therefore, the absorber can be used for a remote chemical sensor by detecting change of the resonant frequencies. The performance of the proposed absorber is demonstrated with full-wave simulation and measurement results. The experimental results shows that the resonant frequency is 10.49 GHz at the empty channel. When ethanol and DI-water are injected into the channel, the resonant frequencies are 10.04 GHz and 8.9 GHz, respectively.

In this paper, a design method for a compact CPW-fed slot antenna using SRRs is studied. The structure of the proposed slot antenna is a rectangular slot antenna loaded with SRR conductors inside the slot to reduce the antenna size. Optimal design parameters are obtained by analyzing the effects of the gap between the SRR conductors and slot, and the width of the SRR conductors on the input VSWR characteristic. The optimized compact slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 36 mm by 30 mm. The length of the proposed compact slot antenna is reduced to 14.3% compared to that of a conventional rectangular slot antenna. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.4-2.49 GHz for a VSWR < 2, and measured gain of 2.3 dBi at 2.45 GHz.

We designed an x-band radar for motion detector using a frequency tunable hairpin ring resonator. The proposed doppler radar sensor can vary the oscillation frequency by applying a hairpin resonator using a varactor diode to the oscillator, and this can also reduce the size by transmitting and receiving a signal from Tx/Rx dual antenna. The fabricated doppler radar sensor was fabricated in $30{\times}24mm$, and it was confirmed that the pulse width difference occurred according to the distance from the object. The measurement results showed oscillation at 10.525GHz. We confirmed that it is enough to use as radar for motion detection from the measured results.

We designed and constructed an extremly high power s-band traveling wave resonator for the test of high power microwave components using 80MW pulsed klystron with $4{\mu}s$ pulse width. The 10dB directional coupler for the input power coupling was used, and the ring consists of phase shifter, tuner, H-band, and other microwave components. The designed total electrical length of the system is 10 times of the waveguide wavelength, ${\lambda}_g$=15.3cm, and the measured total insertion loss is 0.15dB. The low power test measurment showed the power multiplication of 14.69. The design goal is to achieve the peak power of 300MW, pulse width $4{\mu}s$ with 30 pulse repetition rate. In this article we discuss the treveling wave resonant ring constructed at the PAL laboratory together with the test results.

In this paper, new bandpass filters that are composed of microstrip ring resonators with the center frequency of 5.775 GHz and the bandwidth of 100 MHz are presented. For the suppression of the unnecessary harmonics, lowpass filters are inserted into the feedlines and ring resonator itself, respectively These bandpass filters show good microwave characteristics with the harmonic suppression ratio of about 39 dB and 35 dB, respectively. Also, the varactor-tuned microstip ring bandpass filter with harmonic suppression is suggested and the tuning bandwidth of more than 450 MHz is obtained.

In this paper, microstrip ring with a narrow gap is characterized and used as a tunable microwave bandgap (MBG) structure. The center frequency of MBG is mainly determined by the mean circumference of the ring and coincides with odd mode resonance frequency of the ring resonator. The stop band formation by the proposed microstip MBG ring is due to the reflection of electromagnetic waves at the narrow gap introduced in the ring, and the reactive component mounted on the gap makes the stop band vary according to its value. The mounting of capacitor (inductor) is observed to decrease (increase) the center frequency of the stop band. The varactor-mounted microstrip MBG ring is expected to be useful in microwave switches and microwave amplifier circuits.

An integrated photonic microwave bandpass filter has been proposed and demonstrated incorporating a coherently coupled microring resonator in low-loss polymers. The proposed device may feature compact site, simple structure, tuning via the thermooptic and electrooptic effect, and flexible integration with other electrical and optical devices. The resonator was designed to have an extremely small bandwidth so that it could be used to selectively pass the optical signal carrying the microwave signal to attain efficient bandpass filtering. We made and tested two resonators with a single ring and double rings, and performed a theoretical fitting of their measured transfer curves to predict the performance of the microwave filters based on them precisely. It was found that as the number of the rings used for the resonator increases, the bandwidth gets smaller, the rolloff sharper, and the band rejection higher. Finally our filter exhibited the center frequency of 10GHz, the 3-dB bandwidth of 1.0GHz, the corresponding quality (Q) factor of 10, and the rejection outside of the passband of more than 25dB.

In this paper, a new dual-band bandpass filter(BPF) that has resonators and feed lines with Stepped-Impedance Resonator(SIR) structures is proposed. Feed lines with SIR structure provide maximum magnetic field points which occur at the same locations of the input and output feed lines, so the insertion loss of BPF was reduced. Applying the SIR structure to the BPF for the first passband improves rejection characteristics between the first passband and the second passband. It reduces the coupling between the BPF for the first passband and the BPF for the second passband, so it makes the dual-band BPF more compact. The proposed design method provides independent changes of both the center frequency and the bandwidth for each resonator, and also improves filtering characteristics. The validity of the proposed design method is confirmed by comparisons between the designed parameters and the measured results satisfying WLAN specifications.
