본 논문에서는 3차원 FDTD를 이용하여 진행파형 흡수 CPW(Coplanar waveguide) 광 변조기의 마이크로파 특성을 분석하여 최적화 설계하였다. 진행파형 구조에 있어서 마이크로파의 특성은 진성 영역의 두께와 폭에 영향을 받게 되고 신호전극과 접지전극의 위치와 신호전극의 폭에도 영향을 받게 된다. 진성 영역이 InAsP/InGaP (1.3Q) 의 양자우물로 구성되었을 때, 도파관의 폭이 $2{\mu}m$, 진성영역의 두께가 $0.9{\mu}m$ 신호전극과 접지전극 사이의 간격이 $3{\mu}m$일 때 마이크로파 손실을 최소화 하며 광파와의 속도정합을 이루었으며 이때의 임피던스는 약 50${\Omega}$으로 광 변조기의 최적화를 이룰 수 있었다. FDTD를 이용하여 다양한 구조의 변화가 마이크로파에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였으며 이를 이용한 보다 정확한 소자 설계가 가능함을 보였다.

This paper presents the design and performance of low pull-in voltage MEMS switches for commercial cellular/PCS applications. The switches have all-metal (3 ${\mu}m$ thick Au) movable plates over CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) transmission line. The stress gradient in a movable plate is considered in mechanical design to obtain an accurate pull-in voltage. Series metal-to-metal contact switches are fabricated and evaluated. Those switches exhibit the low loss(<0.2 dB @1.9 GHz) with good isolation(55 dB @1.9 GHz).

This paper proposes the planar-type modified monopole antennas of loop structure. This antenna has an opened center of a conventional closed loop structure with an inside-folded terminal of the loop microstrip line. The size of the proposed antenna was minimized by folding the end of the loop. Also, the reactance value has been minimized by increasing capacitances between the coupled microstrip line. Therefore the proposed antenna has been compacted to about 20% from a conventional loop antenna and has increased its efficiency. The proposed antennas have an omni-directional pattern, the antenna gain was 3.67 [dBi] and the bandwidth was 900 MHz (2.6~3.56 GHz) with VSWR$\leq$2 from the simulated and the measured results. The frequency utilization coefficient was 29.9%. These properties could satisfy the S-DMB band.

This paper introduces a low-cost, high-performance mmWave antenna array module at 77 GHz. Conventional waveguide transitions have been replaced by 3D CPW-microstrip transitions which are much simpler to realize. They are compatible with low-cost substrate fabrication processes, allowing easy integration of ICs in 3D multi-chip modules. An antenna array is designed and implemented using multilayer coupled-fed patch antenna technology. The proposed $16{\times}16$ array antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 8.4% (6.5 GHz) and a 23.6-dBi realized gain at 77 GHz.

본 논문은 초광대역 코프래너 급전 모노폴 안테나를 이용한 능동 안테나 다이플렉서 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 다이플렉서 구조는 초고주파 시스템 집적 패키지 기술(RF System on Package: RF-SoP)을 이용한 것으로서 평면형 초광대역 모노폴 안테나와 능동 소자를 직접 연결법에 의해 연결하여 다이플렉서(diplexer)를 형성하는 방식이다. 이는 안테나 회로 성분과 능동 소자의 패키지 회로 성분으로 형성되는 통과 대역을 이용함으로써 별도로 추가된 대역 통과 필터 등의 회로 구조 없이 다이플렉서를 내장하여 구성하는 방식이다. 따라서 입력된 수신 신호의 주파수 대역에 따라 동작 회로가 분리되며, 분리된 수신 신호가 능동 소자의 동작에 의해 증폭되는 능동 안테나 다이플렉서(diplexer)로서 구성된다. FR-4 에폭시 기판 위에서 제작된 능동 안테나 다이플렉서의 특성을 측정한 결과, 2.4 GHz 수신 단자에서는 0.9 dB의 삽입 손실(insertion loss), 1.1 GHz(2.0{\sim}3.1\;GHz)$ 대역폭, 17.0 dB의 수신 신호 증폭 특성을 보여주었으며, 5.8 GHz 수신 단자에서는 0.8 dB의 삽입 손실, 650 MHz$(5.25{\sim}5.9\;GHz)$ 대역폭, 15.0 dB의 수신 신호 증폭 특성을 보여주었다 또한 -10.0 dB 이상의 주파수 분리(isolation) 특성과 -20.0 dB 이상의 고조파 성분(harmonics) 감쇄 특성을 나타내어, 제시된 능동 안테나 다이플렉서 구조가 설계된 동작을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated high conversion gain Q-band active sub-harmonic mixers for a receiver of millimeter wave wireless communication systems. The fabricated active sub-harmonic mixer uses 2nd harmonic signals of a low local oscillator (LO) frequency. The fabricated mixer was successfully integrated by using $0.1{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (PHEMTs) and coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures. From the measurement, it shows that maximum conversion gain of 4.8 dB has obtained at a RF frequency of 40 GHz for 10 dBm LO power of 17.5 GHz. Conversion gain from the fabricated sub-harmonic mixer is one of the best reported thus far. And a phase noise of the 2nd harmonic was obtained -90.23 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The active sub-harmonic mixer also ensure a high degree of isolations, which are -35.8 dB from LO-to-IF and -40.5 dB from LO-to-RF, respectively, at a LO frequency of 17.5 GHz.

We report on a low-cost V-band wireless transceiver with no use of any local oscillator in the receiver block using a self-heterodyne architecture. V-band Microwave monolithic IC (MMIC) modules were developed to demonstrate the wireless transceiver using coplanar waveguide (CPW) and GaAs PHEMT technologies. The MMIC modules such as the MMIC low noise amplifier (LNA), medium power amplifier (MPA) and the up/down-mixer were installed in the transceiver system. To interface the MMIC chips with the component modules for the transceiver system, CPW-to-waveguide fin-line transition modules of WR-15 type were designed and fabricated. The fabricated LNA modules showed a $S_{21}$ gain of 8.4 dB and a noise figure of 5.6 dB at 58 GHz. The MPA modules exhibited a gain of 6.9 dB and a $P_1$ $_{dB}$ of 5.4 dBm at 58 GHz. The conversion losses of the up-mixer and the down-mixer module were 14.3 dB at a LO power of 15 dBm, and 19.7 dB at a LO power of 0 dBm, respectively. From the measurement of V-band wireless transceiver, a conversion gain of 0.2 dB and a P $_{1dB}$ of 5.2 dBm were obtained in the transmitter block. The receiver block showed a conversion gain of 2.1 dB and a P $_{1dB}$ of -18.6 dBm. The wireless transceiver system demonstrated a successful data transfer within a distance of 5 meters.

본 논문에서는 낮은 LO 입력으로 저 변환손실 특성을 갖는 MIMIC(Millimeter-wave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) V-band up-mixer를 설계 및 제작하였다. Up-mixer는 0.1 ㎛ GaAs PHEMT와 coplanar waveguide (CPW) 전송라인을 사용하여 제작되었다. Up-mixer는 60.4 GHz의 RF 주파수, 2.4 GHz의 IF 주파수와 58 GHz의 LO 주파수에서 동작되도록 설계되었다. Up-mixer는 표준 MIMIC공정을 사용하여 제작되었으며 칩 크기는 2.3 mmxl.6 mm이다. 제작된 up-mixer의 측정결과 입력신호가 -10.25 dBm 이고 LO의 입력 전력이 5.4 dBm 일 때 1.25 dB의 양호한 변환손실 특성을 얻었다. 58 GHz에서 LO 와 RF의 격리특성은 -13.2 dB를 나타내었다. 제작된 V-band up-mixer는 기존에 발표된 밀리미터파 up-mixer에 비하여 낮은 LO 입력 전력과 양호한 변환손실 특성을 나타내었다.
