We implemented a PLDRO(Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) using the concept of the feedback property of PLL(Phase Locked Loop) for Ku-band(10.95-11.70 GHz). The conventional approaches to a PLDRO design use varactor diode tuning method.. But in theis paper, the PLDRO has the advantage of the frequency sensitivity to changes in the supple voltage of the oscillating device without the frequency-variable part by varactor diode voltage-control. and uses a SPD(Sampling Phase Detector) for phase-comparision. The PLDRO is composed of the DRO phase-locked to the reference signal of UHF band by using a SPD for high frequency stability and can be available for European FSS(Fixed Satellite Service) at 10.00GHz. The PLDRO generates the output power of 8.67 dBm at 10.00 GHz and has a phase noise of -81 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from carrier. The hamonic and spurious characteristics have -42.33 dBc and -65dBc respectively. This PLDRO has much better frequency stability, lower phase noise, and more economical effect for a satellite system than conventional DRO.

In this paper, W-band Waveform Generator for compact radar has been designed and fabricated. DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) is applied to generate CW (Continuous Wave) and FMCW (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) waveform at high speed. We designed two LO (Local Oscillator) paths for functions of distance delay and distance tracking tests at the prpposed system without extra test equipment. Two mode selections are provided by switch. It is observed that fabricated waveform generator performs -91 dBc/Hz phase noise at offset 1 kHz and -63.2 dBc spurious. Proposed W-band Waveform Generator is expected to apply for W-band compact radar transceiver module.

In this paper, low phase noise VCO using novel compact microstrip spiral resonator is proposed. A spiral resonator has super compact dimension, low insertion losses in the passband and high level of rejection in the stopband with sharp cutoff and a large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced the phase noise. To increase the tuning range of VCO, varactor diode has been connected at the tunable negative resistance in VCO. This VCO has presented the oscillation frequency of $5.686{\sim}5.841GHz$, harmonics -29.83 dBc and phase noise of $-115.16{\sim}-115.17dBc/Hz$ at the offset frequency of 100 KHz.

In this paper, a method of designing a Vivaldi type phased array antenna (PAA) which operates at S-band (2.8-3.3 GHz) is presented. The presented antenna uses broadside coupled split ring resonators (BC-SRRs) for high isolation, wide field of view, and good active S-parameter characteristics. As an example, we design a $1{\times}8$ array antenna with various BC-SRR structures using theory and EM simulations. The antenna is fabricated and measured to verify the design. With the BC-SRR implemented between the two radiating elements, the isolation is shown to be enhanced by 6 dB, up to 23 dB. The scan angle is shown to be within ${\pm}53^{\circ}$ based on a -10 dB active reflection coefficient. The operation of the scan angle is possible within ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ with a little larger reflection coefficient (-7 dB to -8 dB). The proposed design with BC-SRRs is expected to be useful for PAA applications.

In the proposed paper, we designed low noise frequency synthesizer with compact size for Multi-Band. The proposed frequency synthesizer consists of fundamental frequency band(2 GHz) and harmonic frequency band(4 GHz). To improve the phase noise and spurious level of frequency synthesizer, we analyze how the configuration of frequency synthesizer affect the phase noise and design the multi-band's structure. The implemented frequency synthesizer reduce both the phase noise and spurious level. The phase noise is -92.17 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 2 GHz and -90.50 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 4 GHz. All spurious signals including fundamental frequency are suppressed at least 20 dBc than the second harmonic frequency.

In this paper, mutually coupled oscillator is employed to improve phase noise. Mutually coupled structure oscillator couples two oscillator's phase shifted output signals, that is fabricated using teflon board which has dielectric constant of 2.5 and Surface Mount Gallium Arsenide FET devices. And this paper proposed the structure to bias adjustment for the phase condition of mutually couples. When one oscillator has bias point of 4.4 V and 37 mA, it's output signal has phase noise characteristic of -96.37 dBc(@9305 MHz, offset frequency 100 KHz), -73.46 dBc(10 kHz). and After it's output signal mutually coupled the other's output signal that has bias point of 8.1 V and 69 mA, it has superior phase noise characteristic of -106.7 dBc(@9305 MHz, offset frequency 100 kHz), -81 dBc(10 kHz).

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the metamaterial broadside coupled spiral resonators(BC-DSRs) is presented for reducing the phase noise. For reducing of the phase noise, the series spiral structures have been applied for the signal plane and ground plane at each in order to have the large coupling. Compared with the conventional VCO, the proposed VCO has the larger coupling coefficient constant, which makes a higher Q-factor and has reduced the phase noise of the VCO. The proposed VCO has the phase noise of $-121{\sim}-117.16\;dBc$/Hz at 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.749{\sim}5.853\;GHz$. The figure of merit(FOM) of this VCO is $-198.45{\sim}-194.77\;dBc$/Hz at 100 Hz in the same tuning range, respectively.

The environmental dependence of the morphology of dwarf galaxies in isolated satellite systems is analyzed to understand the origin of the dwarf galaxy morphology using the visually classified morphological types of 5836 local galaxies with $z{\leq}0.01$. We consider six sub-types of dwarf galaxies, dS0, dE, $dE_{bc}$, dSph, $dE_{blue}$, and dI, of which the first four sub-types are considered as early-type and the last two as late-type. The environmental parameters we consider are the projected distance from the host galaxy ($r_p$), local and global background densities, and the host morphology. The spatial distributions of dwarf satellites of early-type galaxies are much different from those of dwarf satellites of late-type galaxies, suggesting the host morphology combined with $r_p$ plays a decisive role on the morphology of the dwarf satellite galaxies. The local and global background densities play no significant role on the morphology of dwarfs in the satellite systems hosted by early-type galaxies. However, in the satellite system hosted by late-type galaxies, the global background densities of dE and dSph satellites are significantly different from those of $dE_{bc}$, $dE_{blue}$, and dI satellites. The blue-cored dwarf satellites ($dE_{bc}$) of early-type galaxies are likely to be located at $r_p$ > 0.3 Mpc to keep their cold gas from the ram pressure stripping by the hot corona of early-type galaxies. The spatial distribution of $dE_{bc}$ satellites of early-type galaxies and their global background densities suggest that their cold gas is intergalactic material accreted before they fall into the satellite systems.

This paper presents IM model which is produced in 3 port RF passive component. We calculated forward and reflect PIM of 3 port component by using the model. And they are reasonable agreement with measurement result like below. In the case of forward IM, calculated result is -122 dBc(at 43 dBm), which differ 2.5 dB with measurement result. And reflected IM, the average calculated result is -130 dBc(at 43 dBm), which differ 3 dB with measurement result. The results which are calculated and measured under various condition(IM source level, frequency sweep, contour length, etc.) show that forward method gets more fixed result than that of reflect. Consequently, PIM of 3 port component is predicted and analyzed for desensitizing by the proposed model.
