In this paper, the UWB (Ultra Wide Band) band-pass filter (BPF) with compact-size using impedance mismatching in transmission line and SIR (Stepped Impedance Resonator) instead of open stubs is presented. The proposed BPF have 103 % of bandwidth and 11.2 GHz of center frequency, respectively. In additional, the operation frequencies of the suggested BPF are 4.8 GHz to 16 GHz. In this structure, the length of the transmission line is reduced to half compared with the original one by impedance mismatching technique with low frequency band (sub harmonics) and harmonic components. Also, the open stub can be used for SIR due to reduced size. Experimental results show that the insertion and return losses are 0.35 dB and 15.1 dB, respectively and the filter size is $8.92{\times}10.6mm^2$. The proposed BPF is in good agreement.

Common-mode noise (CMN) is an unresolved problem in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) systems. In a WCE system, CMN originates from various electric currents found within the human body or external interference sources and causes critical demodulation performance degradation. The differential operation, a typical method for the removal of CMN rejection, can remove CMN by subtracting two signals simultaneously received by two reception sensors attached to a human body. However, when there is impedance mismatching between the two reception sensors, the differential operation method cannot completely remove CMN. Therefore, to overcome this problem, we propose an enhanced CMN rejection method. The proposed method performs not only subtraction but also addition between two received signals. Then a CMN ratio can be estimated by sufficient accumulation of division operation outcomes between the subtraction and addition outputs during the guard period. Finally, we can reject the residual CMN by combining the subtraction and addition outputs.

Planar electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter has significant engineering significance to power electronic system integration and miniaturization. However, the value of differential mode capacitance cannot meet the demand of noise suppression because of the size limit of ceramics. In this case, the EMI filter of novel multilayers is recommended to address this issue. A novel integrated structure of EMI filter based on multilayer ceramic is proposed in this study. The inductance and capacitance of the new structure can be designed separately, which is an advantage in manufacturing. Insertion loss is measured more closely to the actual situation in this study, which is different from the condition where source and load impedances are both 50 Ω. In the process of designing a novel EMI filter, noise impedance is considered. Moreover, the prototype is created and applied to a small switching power supply, which verifies the effectiveness of the developed EMI filter.

In this paper, we proposed an HF-band wireless power transfer system with adaptive frequency control circuit for efficiency enhancement in a short range. In general, a wireless power transfer system shows an impedance mismatching due to a reflected impedance, because a coupling coefficient is varied with respect to separation distance between two resonating loop antennas. The proposed method can compensate this impedance mismatching by varying input frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator adaptively with respect to separation distance. Therefore, transmission efficiency is enhanced in a short distance, where large impedance mismatch occurs. The adaptive frequency circuit consists of a directional coupler, a detector, and a loop filter. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed system, a wireless power transfer system with adaptive frequency control circuits is designed and implemented, which has a pair of loop antennas with a dimension of 30${\times}$30 $cm^2$. From measured results, the proposed system shows enhanced efficiency performance than the case without adaptive frequency control.

In this paper, SI(Signal Integrity) characteristic of the 4-layer PCB(Printed Circuit Boards) with a through-hole via was analyzed by impedance mismatching between the through-hole via and the transmission line, and deterioration of clock pulse response characteristic due to the P/G plane resonances which are generated between the power and the ground plane. The minimized impedance mismatching between the through-hole via and the transmission line for the improving of SI characteristic is confirmed by the TDR(Time Domain Reflector) simulation and lumped element modeling of the through-hole via. And the cancellation method of P/G plane resonances for improvement of the SI characteristic is represented by simulation result.

Accurate material information is very important in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design. In an integrated mast of a battleship, heat reduction is essential for stealth functionality. So heat dissipation from internal control equipments should be reduced as much as possible. Control equipments mostly consist of PCBs, but it often suffers from impedance mismatching due to imprecise Dk (Dielectric Constant), which significantly increases heat dissipation. In this paper, measurement methods of Dk is investigated. Also, effects on impedance mismatch by Dk variation with operating frequency is investigated.

A small monopole antenna with a novel impedance matching structure is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is designed for W-LAN(IEEE 802.11b). The antenna design concept is based on a ${\lambda}/8$ folded monopole antenna with a self-impedance matching structure. The size of the proposed antenna is smaller than the resonant length, thus the impedance at the terminal of the antenna becomes very capacitive. To compensate fur this impedance mismatching, the proposed antenna employs a novel self-impedance matching structure. The self-impedance matching structure is located on the top of the antenna; it improves the impedance matching and ultimately the efficiency of the antenna. The measured results of the proposed antenna show reasonable agreement with prediction.

Traveling-wave electrodes for the high-speed Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ modulators are designed. For a solution to the problems of 1) phase-velocity mismatching between the optical wave and the Modulating M/W, 2) M/W electrode characteristic impedance mismateching, we assume devices with 1$\mu$m thick SiO$_{2}$ buffer layer between the electrode and the Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ substrate. The electrode analyses are performed by the FEM using the second-order triangular elements. The optimum design parameters to satisfy the phase-velocity matching and the characteristic impedance matching are sought for. By use of the analyses' results, a Mach-Zehnder optical modulator with a CPW electrode is designed as an example. the band-width estimation is also illustrated.

In this paper, the narrow band-pass filter with compact-size using the ${\lambda}g/2$ open stubs is proposed. The filter size is reduced by realization of transmission line at second harmonics and at the same time the power can be transferred to the output by using the fundamental wave generated in the resonator and the transmission line in which the impedance mismatch technique is adopted. Thus, the proposed filter can be reduced to half-length of horizontal transmission line than the conventional one. The experimental results show that insertion loss is 1.58 dB and return loss is 9.86 dB, and the fractional bandwidth is 10 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz. The filter size is $10.34{\times}18.56\;mm2$.

We report microwave properties of high-T$_c$ superconducting (HTS) microstrip antennas without impedance matching circuits, where the impedance mismatching is obvious under the critical temperature (T$_c$). The superconducting thin films used in this report were YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) films deposited on MgO substrates produced by pulse laser deposition (PLD) technique. At around T$_c$, 86 K the reflection coefficient rapidly drops, and the standing wave ratio (SWR) becomes almost unity, and the characteristic impedance based on the Smith chart is nearly 50 ${\Omega}$. The reflection coefficient and the SWR of the HTS microstrip antenna were - 62.52 dB and 1.0015, respectively, at the resonant frequency of 11.812 CHz at 86 K.
