Tx/Rx dual microstrip array antennas for satellite communications are designed, fabricated, and measured in this paper. They have a Right Handed Circular Polarization (RHCP) for Tx and Left Handed Circular Polarization (LHCP) for Rx. Two stacked patches are used for wideband characteristics and corner-truncated square patches are adopted for a circular polarization. To enhance bandwidth characteristics of a circular polarization, 2${\times}$1 sequential rotation mays are applied. From the measured results, 8${\times}$1 microstrip may antennas have a good agreement with those of the simulation. Therefore the array antennas are applicable to satellite communication antennas, active phased may antennas, and radiators in other antennas.

In this paper, we described about methods and results to verify the Tx/Rx beam characteristics of a planar active phased array antenna as using a near-field measurement. The near-field system can effectively measure multiple beams and predict the performance degradation due to the partial failure of individual elements. Also, it can accurately predict the EIRP relating to detection performance of the active phased array radar. We briefly described the near-field measurement method to verify the Tx/Rx beam characteristics, and then verified the effectiveness of measurement method by analyzing the measured results.

This paper presents a cost-effective and high-performance film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) duplexer module for US-PCS handset applications. The FBAR device uses a glass wafer level packaging process, which is a more cost-effective alternative to the typical silicon capping process. The maximum insertion losses of the FBAR duplexer at the Tx and Rx bands are of 1.9 and 2.4 dB, respectively. The total thickness of the duplexer module is 1.2 mm, including the glass-wafer bonded Tx/Rx FBAR devices, PCB board, and transfer molding material.

A hybrid-integrated SAW(surface acoustic wave) douplexer including transmitter(Tx) filter, receiver(Rx) filter an dantenna terminal has been studied. The prototype duplxer was designed for CDMA system application in the 800 MHz-band. Ladder type SAW filters consisting of one port SAW resonators wer integrated on epoxy substrate to demonstrate the feasiblity of antenna duplexer. In order to perform the duplexing function, a strip line for impedance transformaton with length of .gamma./4 was inserted at rx path. The fabricted duplexer has an insertion loss of 3.0 dB at Tx path and 3.7 dB at Rx path. The attenuation has more than 40dB.

By using the clock timing control at transmitter (TX), the crosstalk-induced jitter (CIJ) is compensated for in the 2-bit parallel data transmission through the coupled microstrip lines on printed circuit board (PCB). Compared to the authors' prior work, the delay block circuit is simplified by combining a delay block with a minimal number of stages and a 3-to-1 multiplexer. The delay block generates three clock signals with different delays corresponding to the channel delay of three different signal modes. The 3-to-1 multiplexer selects one of the three clock signals for TX timing depending on the signal mode. The TX is implemented by using a $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measurement shows that the TX reduces the RX jitters by about 38 ps at the data rates from 2.6 Gbps to 3.8 Gbps. Compared to the authors' prior work, the amount of RX Jitter reduction increases from 28 ps to 38 ps by using the improved implementation.

In this paper, the cancellation or suppression of the feedback interference from Tx antenna using the same frequency is studied. The major problems on the wireless communication system using the same frequency or on-frequency repeater (OFR) are the coupling and isolation between Rx and Tx antenna. In order to increase the isolation between Rx and Tx antenna and to Prevent the self-oscillation of the receiver system, this paper is verified the possibility of the application of interference cancellation system and proposed the design method of the OFR using interference cancellation system.

Insertion loss, ripple, and return loss were -1.7093dB, 0.9162dB, and -24.762dB with Cellular Rx(824~849 MHz), -1.8021dB, 0.9615dB, and -22.258 with Tx(869~894 MHz), repectively.

In this paper, a waveguide antenna is designed and fabricated for side and rear radar sensor of vehicles in UWB (Ultra Wide Band) high band (center frequency : 9.5 GHz, -10 dB bandwidth : 600 MHz (6.4 %)). For the radar antenna, a probe fed rectangular waveguide antenna having simple structure and wide bandwidth is used. An important performance factor in this antenna is the isolation between transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX) waveguide antennas because this radar system uses TX and RX antennas separately. Thus the isolation between two antennas was simulated for E-plane and H-plane array. As a result, it was verified that the isolation of the H-plane array of the antennas is better than E-plane array, due to the TE10 mode. Therefore, H-plane arrayed waveguide antennas were mounted on a T-shaped radar module and performance of antennas was investigated. The -10 dB bandwidth of the TX and RX antenna mounted on T-shaped radar module was measured as 1000 MHz (10.52 %) and 1090 MHz (11.47 %) respectively and the isolation is less than -50 dB in the operation band. The peak gain is 7.65 dBi for the TX antenna and 7.26 dBi for the RX antenna and the beamwidth of H-plane of TX and RX antenna was measured as $64^{\circ}$ and $65^{\circ}$ respectively. Consequently, we verified that the proposed waveguide antenna is appropriate for a vehicle radar applications.

In this paper, the novel shipboard Active Phased Array Antenna(APAA) system for maritime mobile satellite communications is introduced. The antenna uses novel technologies like wide range hybrid tracking, single antenna elements with both of Rx and Tx, asymmetrical array structure, interference isolation between Rx and Tx, and error correction method from frequency scan effect. The antenna has single aperture for both of Rx and Tx with 32 $\times$ 4 two-dimensional array. The antenna has two beams. Its frequencies are 7.25 ~ 7.75 GHz for Rx and 7.9 ~ 8.4 GHz for Tx. The antenna gains are 35.4 dBi for Rx and 35.7 dBi for Tx, those are 54 % of efficiency. The electrically steering ranges are $\pm$35$^{\circ}$ of elevation direction and $\pm$4$^{\circ}$ of azimuth direction. The mechanical control ranges at hybrid tracking capability are continuous 360$^{\circ}$ of azimuth direction and $\pm$10$^{\circ}$ of elevation direction. The antenna has 2.2$^{\circ}$ of 3 dB beamwidth, -14 dB of sidelobe level, and 21 dB of cross-pol suppression. The antenna performance was measured by near field measurement set. Its system performance was tested on the ship motion simulator and with the satellite transponder simulator. The test result showed that its tracking error was within -3 dB from its peak gain under motion condition. The antenna system was tested by real modulated Direct Broadcasting Satellite(DBS) signals to check its communication processing function.

Using the notch and isolation, we investigated the insertion loss and isolation characterics of the fabricated dielectric duplexers and bandpass filters for CDMA and W-CDMA dualband. Insertion loss(Tx band) and isolation(between Tx and Rx) of duplxer were about -2.1708dB and 45dB at CDMA band, respectively. Also, in the case of W-CDMA, the insertion loss(Tx band) and isolation(between Tx and Rx) showed about -2.6946 and 100dB, respectively. Summering the aboved results, fabricated the dielectric duplexers and bandpass filters will be contributed the increase of atttenuation and the decrease of interference at CDMA and W-CDMA dualband.
