본 논문에서는 PHEMT의 소 신호 산란계수를 이용하여 일본에서 사용하는 X-band 대역의 차량 속도 사전 제한 경보기용(Radar Detector) 전압제어 발진기를 설계 제작하였다. 전압 제어 발진기를 구현하기 위해서 넓은 동조 범위와 직렬저항이 0옴인 바렉터 다이오드를 사용하였고, 트랜지스터의 작동전압과 공진 주파수를 결정하는 마이크로 스트립 선로와 바렉터 소자와의 반사계수를 조정하여 위상잡음은 10kHz 오프셋에서 -85 dBc/Hz, 기본 주파수 신호 출력 크기는 +4.5 dBm, 제2고조파 억제는 -25.6 dEc를 얻었다. 본 논문에서 제작한 샘플이 감도에서 기존 제품들보다 우수한 특성이 나오는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

본 논문에서는 UHF ISM 대역의 일정 범위 내에서 공진 주파수를 연속적으로 제어할 수 있는 반 파장 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계, 제작하였다. 반 파장 안테나에서 전계가 가장 강한 양끝 부분과 접지면 사이에 바랙터 다이오드를 장착하고 인가되는 전압을 변화시켜 안테나의 전기적 공진 길이를 연속 조정함으로써 주변 환경에 의하여 변화된 공진 주파수와 입력 임피던스의 능동 복원을 가능하게 할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 안테나(중심 공진 주파수: 425 MHz)를 제작 시험한 결과, 각각의 제어 전압을 DC 0.6 에서 3.0 volt 까지 인가시켰을 시 반사손실 20 dB 이하의 공진 주파수를 385 MHz에서 465 MHz까지 가변할 수 있었다. 최대 이득(peak Bain)은 -0.2 dBd이었으며, 반사 손실 -10 dB 대역폭(bandwidth)는 3.3 MHz(0.8 %)를 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 2 GHz 선형 위상 천이 특성을 갖는 위상천이기를 설계 및 제작하여 보였다. 소형의 위상 천이기 구현을 위해 집중소자로 구성된 전통과 회로망(all pass network)을 기반으로 위상천이기를 구성하고, 박막세라믹 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다. 또한, 선형의 위상 천이 특성을 얻기 위해 버랙터(varactor) 다이오드에 직렬 커패시터를 연결하여, 전압에 대한 커패시턴스를 선형화함으로써 비선형성을 개선하였다. 전통과 회로망에 나타나는 인덕터는 스파이럴 인덕터로 구현하고, 이를 다이오드 바이어스 회로에 활용하여 $4\;mm{\times}4\;mm$ 면적을 가지는 소형 위상천이기를 구성할 수 있었다. 또한, 온-웨이퍼(on wafer)로 측정을 위해 입출력은 CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) 형상으로 구현하였으며, 제작된 위상천이기는 버랙터 조정 전압 0~5 V에 대하여, 2 GHz에서 삽입 손실은 약 4.2~4.7 dB, 위상 변화량은 약 $79^{\circ}$였으며, 예상한대로 선형 위상 천이 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, a tunable bandpass filter with mutual inductive coupling circuits is newly designed and demonstrated for UHF TV tuner ranged from Ch.14(473MHz) to Ch.69(803MHz) applications. Conventional HF tuning circuit with an electromagnetic bandpass filter has several problems such as large size, high volume and high cost, since the electromagnetic filter is comprised of several passive components and air core inductors to be assembled and controlled manually. To address these obstacles, peaking chip inductor was newly applied for constructing the mutual inductive coupling circuit. The proposed circuit was newly and optimally designed, since the chip inductor showed lower components Q-value than the air core inductor. A varactor diode has been also used to fabricate the proposed tunable bandpass filter for RF tuning circuit. The fabricated tunable filter exhibited low insertion loss of approximately -3dB, high return loss of below -10dB, and large tuning bandwidth of 330MHz.

This paper deals with extending the variable natural oscillation frequency range of an active integrated FET oscillator. In this paper, we conform experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency is expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When the frequency difference is given to the oscillators in the two element antenna system, phase difference appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-element patch antenna arrays are composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas show good phased array characteristics. The range of the scanning angle is about $30^{\circ}$, and the radiation power is gradually increased from $50{\mu}W\;to\;200{\mu}W$. The radiation patterns we sharpened as the number of elements is increased.

In this paper, A VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in use of clock recovery/data regeneration circuit for 10 Gbps fiber optic receivers was developed. The improved hair-pin resonator with a parallel coupled lines, which has been applied to microstrip filters, was used as a resonance part. As a frequcncy tuning device by substituting 3-terminalMESFET vaaractor for varactor diode, an MMIC manufacturing process will be simplified. Since a hair-pin resonator is planar type compared to the dielectric resonator and has a relatively flat reactance verus frequency, it will be favorable to apply a hair-pin resonator to an MMIC, in addition wideband frequency tuning range is able to be obtained.

In this paper, We have designed and fabricated VCO in two way, the common source and common gate circuit for I local oscillator of 60 GHz wireless LAN system. The VCO employed a GaAs MESFET for negative resistance and a varactor diode for frequency tuning. The common gate VCO was measured the phase noise -112 dBc/Hz at the 1 MHz frequency offset. The output power and the second harmonic frequency suppression were 7.81 dBm and -29.3 dBc when tuning voltage was 3V, respectively. The total size of VCO was 28.6$\times$12.14 $\textrm{mm}^2$.
