UWB(Ultra Wide Band) system for high speed and high accurate location has been studying actively. This paper presents the design and implementation of RF transceiver for DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access) UWB device. Major components of RF transceiver such as Low Noise Amplifier(LNA) and Band Pass Filter(BPF) are designed and then fabricated to meet wideband characteristics. The RF transceiver was implemented by the use of the fabricated components and commercial devices after carrying out performance simulation. Through the performance evaluation of the UWB RF transceiver with W-CDMA signal, the approach of design, implementation and evaluation of RF transceiver which is available to DS-CDMA UWB system is verified.

In this paper, the CPW-fed Ultra-wideband antenna is designed and fabricated for UWB communications. To achieve ultra-wide bandwidth of the antenna, we propose the mutual coupling of two planar monopole antennas. The mutual coupling of monopole pair of the proposed antenna is optimized by adjusting the parameters, the widths of the planar monopoles and the space between two monopoles. Two UWB antennas with different horizontal sections of the CPW-fed monopole antenna are fabricated and measured to examine the mutual coupling effects on the monopole pair antenna. The measured result show that two antennas are satisfied with UWB communication band(3.1$\sim$10.6Ghz).

This paper presents a coplanar waveguide fed L-planar type monopole antenna which covers ultra wideband(UWB) region of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The proposed UWB L-planar type monopole antenna is designed and implemented on the organic substrates( ${\varepsilon}_{r}=3.38,\;@10\;GHz$). The radiation elements, feed line, and ground planes of the antenna are printed on the same conductive layer of the substrates. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is measured in the range of 3.0 GHz to 11.0 GHz. The measured radiation patterns are symmetrical in E-plane and omni-directional in H-plane. Antenna gains ranges from 1.4 dBi to 4.6 dBi. The proposed UWB antenna shows that the structure is adequate for the design of RFIC.

The combined structure of both an annular dielectric resonator and a quarter-wave monopole is proposed to generate an omnidirectional radiation pattern over the wideband frequency range. The monopole works at the lower frequency band and excites the cylindrical dielectric resonator along its center point by electrical coupling mechanism. The rectangular shape of the DR is cut to generate the wideband operation of 4.7-18.2 GHz. The geometrical parameter of cylindrical dielectric resonator is 5.8 mm, 11.6 mm and 6.0 mm in inner diameter, outer diameter and height, respectively.

A recent technology trends in synthetic aperture radar(SAR) requires the ultra high resolution performance in detecting and precisely identifying the targets. In this paper, as a technique for enhancing the radar range resolution, the wideband chirp connection algorithm is presented by stitching the several chirp modules with unit bandwidth based on the linear frequency modulated chirp signal waveform. The principles of the digital chirp signal generation and its architecture for implementation is briefly described, and the wideband chirp signal generator, modulator, and demodulator are designed. The performance analysis for the presented algorithm is given with the simulation results.

This paper describes a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS RF switch for $3{\sim}5$ GHz UWB band(mode 1). It can improve isolation characteristics between ports by using deep n-well RF devices while their source and body terminals are separated. From the measurement results, the proposed T/R switch is comparative to the on-wafer probing measurement results of the series-shunt T/R switches. When the proposed T/R switch operates as Tx mode, measured insertion loss from Tx to output port is less than 1.5 dB and isolation between Tx and Rx is more than 27 dB for $3{\sim}5$ GHz. Return loss for the Tx port is more than -10 dB and input P1dB is +10 dBm.

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna with a compact parasitic patch to overcome radiation performance degradations in the high-frequency band is proposed. For this purpose, a double asymmetric trapezoidal parasitic patch is designed and added to the aperture of an antipodal Vivaldi antenna. The patch is designed to efficiently focus the beam toward the end-fire direction at high frequencies by utilizing field coupling between the main radiating patch and the inserted parasitic patch. As a result, this technique considerably improves the gain and stability of radiation patterns at high frequencies. The proposed antenna has a peak gain greater than 9 dBi over the frequency range of 6-26.5 GHz.

Microwave radiometry, as a non-invasive technique which doesn't pierce inside human and can measure the temperature, is to diagnose early the disease or abnormality by measuring the temperature inside human. In this paper, as an antenna for measuring human radiometric signals, we simulated and measured a dipole-type antenna with circular loops. As a measured result has a ultra wideband characteristic of $130%(0.8\sim3.8GHz)\;for\;511\leq-10dB$, it is considered to be suitable to detect the position and size of human tissue having various diseases.

This paper describes a study of terrestrial digital TV transmission systems using wideband opto-electronic techniques such as electro-absorption modulators, wavelength division multiplex to support cost effective, high speed, flexible and interactive digital TV networks including ultra-high speed subscriber networks. In particular, the national DTV networks to be installed is required huge amount of cost. Therefore, the network should be carefully designed for DTV, communication and multimedia services in the future. In this paper, wideband optoelectronic DTV systems are suggested.

This paper proposes and experimentally tests a modified circular slot antenna fed by a fork-like tuning stub for ultra-wideband (UWB) operation. The proposed antenna consists of a modified circular slot model and fork-like tuning stub. The proposed antenna is printed on a 34.0 mm × 30.0 mm FR4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm and relative permittivity of 4.4. The effect of various parameters of the circular slot and fork-like tuning stub is investigated for UWB operation. The modified circular slot and fork-like tuning stub are fabricated on the substrate to achieve wideband operation and good impedance matching. Experimental results demonstrated that the measured return loss exhibits an acceptable agreement with the simulated return loss and satisfies the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the UWB bands. In addition, the proposed antenna shows good radiation characteristics and gains in the UWB bands.
