A coupler is a microwave passive component used for power coupling or dividing. Regarding the trend of current telecommunication systems it is highly desirable for monolithic integration of passive components as such LTCC(Low temperature cofired ceramics) technology offers potential advantage in size, cost and performance. Utilizing LTCC technology a 2012 size type dual band coupler for DCS and EGSM band was fabricated. Its characteristics such as coupling, insertion loss, isolation and directivity was measured and compared with simulation results

This paper presents a new PWM DC/DC converter with dual output power using single power stage, which has the isolation characteristics between each dual output. The proposed converter topology consists of two switches ($S_B$ and $S_F$) and only single secondary winding. Therefore, the proposed converter has better advantages of not only low cost and small size but also high power density because of using minimum components and devices compared with conventional methods which use multi winding transformers or several converters. The operating principle of the proposed converter topology, which includes the conventional auxiliary ZVT (Zero-Voltage-Transition) circuit to implement soft switching of the main switch, is illustrated in detail and the validity of the proposed converter is verified through several simulated and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 2.4[GHz]/5.8[GHz] 대역의 이중대역 스위치 설계에 대하여 논한다. 이 스위치는 TDD시스템에 적용 가능하며, 광대역 특성을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 구조를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적의 구조로 설계하였다. 2.4[GHz]/5.8[GHz] 이중대역 스위치는 현재 상용화되고 있는 802.11a/b/g 시스템에 응용할 수 있는 광대역, 고출력, 높은 격리도를 갖는 구조를 연구하였다. 스위치의 송신부는 2개의 FET를 스택 구조로 병렬 스위칭 소자로 동작하도록 설계하였다. 수신부는 기본적인 직/병렬 FET에 추가로 직렬 FET를 삽입한 비대칭 구조를 갖도록 수신부를 설계하였다.

이 논문은 CRLH 전송선로의 이중대역 특성을 이용하여 비대칭 전력 분배기를 제안하였다. 이 분배기는 이중대역 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기, 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트의 연결 선로 그리고 ${\lambda}/4$ 변환기로 구성되어 있다. 이것의 동작은 이중대역의 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기를 이용하여 입력 신호를 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트에 연결할 때 서로 다른 길이의 전송선로를 연결함으로서 하이브리드 결합기의 두 출력 포트에서 동위상을 갖고 비대칭으로 출력되도록 하였다. 이것은 기존의 비대칭 윌킨슨 분배기의 단점을 보완한 것으로 시뮬레이션 결과가 0 dB ~ 20 dB 까지의 출력비를 나타내도록 설계하였다. 이와 같은 기능이 동작하는지 확인하기 위하여 880 MHz 와 1850 MHz에서 동작하는 이중대역 비대칭 전력분배기를 제작하여 각각의 주파수에서 3.2 dB ~ 8.8 dB, 2.5 dB ~ 14.0 dB까지 분배되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a novel unequal broadband out-of-phase power divider (PD) is presented. Double-sided parallel-strip lines (DSPSLs) are employed to achieve an out-of-phase response. Also, an asymmetric dual-band matching structure with two external isolation resistors is utilized to obtain arbitrary unequal power division, in which the resistors are directly grounded for heat sinking. A through ground via (TGV), connecting the top and bottom sides of the DSPSLs, is used to short the isolation components. Additionally, this property can efficiently improve the broadband matching and isolation bandwidths. To investigate the proposed divider in detail, a set of design equations are derived based on the circuit theory and transmission line theory. The theoretical analysis shows that broadband responses can be obtained as proper frequency ratios are adopted. To verify the proposed concept, a sample divider with a power division of 2:1 is demonstrated. The measured results exhibit a broad bandwidth from 1.19 GHz to 2.19 GHz (59.2%) with a return loss better than 10 dB and port isolation of 18 dB.

A dual-band dual-polarized microstrip antenna array for an advanced multi-function radio function concept (AMRFC) radar application operating at S and X-bands is proposed. Two stacked planar arrays with three different thin substrates (RT/Duroid 5880 substrates with $\varepsilon_r$=2.2 and three different thicknesses of 0.253 mm, 0.508 mm and 0.762 mm) are integrated to provide simultaneous operation at S band (3~3.3 GHz) and X band (9~11 GHz). To allow similar scan ranges for both bands, the S-band elements are selected as perforated patches to enable the placement of the X-band elements within them. Square patches are used as the radiating elements for the X-band. Good agreement exists between the simulated and the measured results. The measured impedance bandwidth (VSWR$\leq$2) of the prototype array reaches 9.5 % and 25 % for the S- and X-bands, respectively. The measured isolation between the two orthogonal polarizations for both bands is better than 15 dB. The measured cross-polarization level is ${\leq}-21$ dB for the S-band and ${\leq}-20$ dB for the X-band.

In this paper, a redundancy management system for aircraft is studied, and FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) algorithm of inertial sensor system is proposed. UAV system cannot allow triple or quadruple hardware redundancy due to the limitations on space and weight. In the UAV system with dual sensors, it is very difficult to identify the faulty sensor. Also, conventional FDI method cannot isolate multiple faults in a triple redundancy system. In this paper, hardware based FDI technique is proposed, which combines a parity equation approach with the wavelet based technique, which is a model-free FDI method. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed FDI method, numerical simulations are performed.

A novel fully-printed microstrip antenna with negative first resonance and dual polarization is proposed. The radiator is printed on the 1-layer substrate instead of multilayers. The -1st resonance results from a composite right- and left-handed(CRLH) structure that has a circumferentially interlocked gap capacitively coupling a patch with a shorted-ring. This compact antenna is provided with a dual-polarization capability by creating two orthogonal linear polarizations in one body with coaxial feeds. The design is carried out by doing full-wave EM field simulation which is compared with the measurement of the fabricated antenna prototype. The measured results give the gain of 5 dBi and the efficiency of 78% at the -1st resonance mode as the center frequency of a downlink channel of the bandwidth over 20 MHz with 29 dB polarization isolation for mobile communication.

This paper presents the design of a broadband hybrid mixer using dual-gate FET topology with a low-pass filter which improves return loss of output to isolate RF and LO signal. The low-pass filter shows the isolation whose RF and LO signal is better than 40 dBc at 2 GHz and 5 GHz band. The dual-gate mixer which has been designed by using cascade topology operates when the lower FET is biased in linear region and the upper FET is in saturation. The input matching circuit has been designed to have conversion gain from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The designed mixer with low-pass filter shows the conversion gain of better than 7 dB from 2 GHz to 6 GHz at a low LO power level of 0 dBm with the fixed IF frequency of 21.4 MHz.
