Transmission spectra are measured from waveguide-coupled ring resonators fabricated with SiN_x on SiO₂. By using ring resonators with various radii and several index contrasts, the behavior of the quality factors is investigated. As the index contrast decreases, the dominant loss is from scattering for a large resonator, while that changes from scattering loss to bending loss for a small resonator. We verify that the quality factor can be drastically improved by reducing the index contrast in large ring resonators.

In this paper, a Balun-BPF with the balun and BPF characteristics is proposed by using dual-mode ring resonator of $1{\lambda}$. We obtained the property of balun with the phase imbalance by symmetrically placing each output of ring resonator. The dual mode has been made by impedance difference between input and output lines. The fabricated Balun-BPF shows bandwidth of 40 MHz and insertion loss of 2.4 dB at a center frequency of 2.45 GHz. It shows the phase imbalance of $180{\sim}184$ degree and the magnitude imbalance of within 1 dB. The measured frequency responses agree well with simulated ones.

In this paper, the size of the dual-mode microstrip ring resonator is reduced by adding four open stubs, and bandpass filters having 100 MHz bandwidth are designed at the center frequency of 2 GHz. The size of the ring resonator can be controlled by varying the capacitance of the stubs, and the bandpass filter can be designed in two cases, which are two combinations of the stubs. Two bandpass filters are designed and fabricated by using the two-stage bandpass filter circuit model of the proposed structure, and the measured results show good agreement with the simulated results.

An integrated photonic K-band microwave bandpass filter has been proposed and demonstrated by incorporating a polymeric ring resonator. Its transfer characteristics were adjusted by shilling the resonance wavelength of the ring resonator via the thermooptic effect. The achieved performance of the filter includes the center frequency of 20 GHz, the attenuation of ${\sim}15dB$, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the corresponding quality factor of 10. The microwave output power within the passband of the device was adjusted at the rate of about 6.7 dB/mW in the range of 27 dB. This kind of device with electrically controllable transfer characteristics can be applied to implement microwave switches and other devices.

In this paper, the phase noise of 900 MHz VCO is improved using modified strip line square ring resonator. In order to demonstrate the phase noise improvement of the proposed VCO, the same circuit was manufactured using shorted-circuit resonator. In condition of the same bias current, the phase noise of the proposed VCO with modified square ring resonator is suppressed by 7 dB as - 103 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset compared to the conventional VCO with short-circuit resonator. From the proposed VCO, we achieved output power of - 4.8 dBm, harmonics suppression of 16 dB, and tuning bandwidth of 100 MHz. The proposed VCO consumed 5 mA at 3 V, and its size is 1.2 cm ${\times}$ 1.0 cm.

In this paper, broadband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using electronically controlled metamaterial transmission line based on varactor-loaded split-ring resonator (VLSRR) is presented. First, it is demonstrated that VLSRR coupled to microstrip line can lead to metamaterial transmission line with tuning capability. The negative effective permeability is provided by the VLSRR in a narrow band above the resonant frequency, which can be bias controlled by virtue of the presence of varactor diodes. The VCO with 1.8 V power supply has phase noise of $-108.84\;{\sim}\;-106.84\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 Hz in the tuning range, $5.47\;{\sim}\;5.84\;GHz$. The figure of merit (FOM) called power-frequency-tuning-normalized (PFTN) is 20.144 dB.

A radius of ring resonator is determined by the resonant frequency. Resonant frequencies of resonators with the circumference which is integer times of wave length are not same the expected. In this paper, we suggest the design method of a ring resonator with coupling gap, which has the resonant frequency of desire. The equation which can make reduction of the radius of the resonators depending on the gap space is derived by the method of transmission line analysis. The criterion is suggested to determine the radius of the resonator in accordance with relative permittivity. A ring resonator by the proposed method is as small as one-third of basic ring in size and it has the resonant frequency of desire. T-type coupling line is designed to obtain large attenuation of $S_{11}$ at pass-band. These coupling line capacitances are very lower than the gap capacitances, it does not affect the resonant frequency.

In this paper, electrically small square loop antenna with SRR (Split Ring Resonator) cover structure is built and tested. The proposed antenna has very small size, ka = 0.34 by Chu limit. The experimental result shows that the resonant frequency and impedance bandwidth($VSWR{\leq}2$) are 906MHz and 5.8MHz (901.7 - 907.5MHz), respectively. The proposed antenna is matched and designed by equivalent circuit model. The proposed antenna is fabricated simple structure without additional matching network and printed on a Teflon substrate without ground plane. Therefore, it has advantages of low cost, small size, and light weight and will be applied to wireless communication systems where small antennas are required.

In this paper, a small double ring resonator reflector was designed and fabricated using a polymer waveguide, and the measurement result was discussed. A widely tunable characteristic of the small double ring resonator caused by the Vernier effect, which results from the difference of the ring radii, was observed. The insertion loss of the double ring reflector was reduced by minimizing the device length to be as short as possible, and thus the output power and the SMSR (side mode suppression ratio) was greatly enhanced. The hybrid integrated laser based on the small double ring resonator reflector lased with the SMSR of 45 dB. In addition, the wide tuning range of 40 nm could be obtained by injecting a current of 30 mA to an electrode on top of the reflector.
