A novel planar polarization-agile microstrip subarray is proposed and its performance assessed by a thorough numerical investigation. The subarray consists of five square patches with a central element, directly coupled to a pair of microstrip feed lines by a cross-shaped aperture, which spreads the power outwards to the other patches through a network of suitable connections. By properly exciting the antenna at its input ports, any kind of polarization of the radiated field can be accomplished with fairly low cross-polarization levels. Moreover, since only two feed lines are required to drive the whole subarray, polarization agility is simply and attractively achieved by a single phase-shift circuit. The design concept is described and the results of the analyses and simulations performed by two completely independent full-wave approaches are presented and discussed.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립선의 전송선로 특성을 이용하여 5선으로 선간 간격의 폭을 조정한 값으로 시뮬레이션하여 다이플렉서 특성을 구하고 이를 실현하였다. 제작한 다이플렉서를 실험한 결과 기존의 균등한 선간 간격 배열 구조에서의 특성보다 선간 간격을 각기 다르게 한 경우 통과 대역에서 평탄 특성이, 저지 대역에서는 감쇠량이 약 15dB이상 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 두 마이크로스트립 라인으로 이루어진 압축된 마이크로스트립 PBG 링 구조에서 두 마이크로스트립 라인간의 간격변화에 따른 삽입손실 특성을 연구하였다. 두 라인이 가까워짐에 따라 라인간의 커플링으로 인하여 두 개의 감쇄폴이 생겨 넓은 저지대역을 가지며 갭 간격이 매우 가까워지면 2개의 감쇄폴이 3개로 늘어나 저지대역은 매우 넓어지고 cutoff특성 또한 향상된다.

We present an analysis of microstrip coupled lines (MCLs) used to improve the stability of a 60 GHz narrowband amplifier. The circuit has a 4-stage structure implementing MCLs instead of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors for the unconditional stability of the amplifier and yield enhancement. The stability parameter, U, is used to compare the stability of MCLs with that of MIM capacitors. Experimental results show that MCLs are more stable than MIM capacitors with the same capacitances as MCLs because the parasitic parallel resistances of MCLs are lower than those of MIM capacitors. Moreover, the bandwidth of an amplifier using MCLs is narrower than one using MIM capacitors because the parasitic series inductances of MCLs are higher than those of MIM capacitors.

In this paper we analyze the reflection characteristics of a dielectric microstrip line with an open-end termination containing optically induced plasma region, which are analyzed by the assumption that the plasma is distributed homogeneously in the laser illumination. The characteristics impedances resulting from the presence of plasma are evaluated the transmission line model. To estimate theoretically the characteristic response of same systems in the time domain, the Fourier transformation method is evaluated. The reflection characteristics of time response in microwave systems have been calculated.

본 논문은 마이크로스트립과 슬롯라인 천이기술을 이용한 소형 전력분배기 설계를 제안하였다. 마이크로스트립과 슬롯라인 천이기술은 전력 분배기를 구성하는 ${\lambda}/4$ 전송선로를 멀티 레이어 구조 PCB를 이용하면 두개의 ${\lambda}/8$ 전송선로로 작게 구현할 수 있다. 여기서는 마이크로스트립과 슬롯라인 천이 지점에서 마이크로스트립 전송선로는 via를 사용하여 단락시켰고, 슬롯라인은 스파이럴 구조를 이용하여 전송선로의 길이를 짧게 사용하였다. 이러한 마이크로스트립과 슬롯라인 천이기술의 타당성을 보기위해서 중심주파수 2 GHz 에서 동작하는 전력분배기의 마이크로스트립 선로를 천이기술을 이용한 방법으로 구현하여 그 특성을 시뮬레이션, 제작 및 측정을 하여 기존의 전력분배기와 동일한 특성을 얻었다.

The recent development of high temperature superconducting epitaxial thin film offer great potential for planar passive microwave application such as ring resonator, filters, transmission lines, and antennas.

The pad pitch of modern radio frequency integrated circuits is in the order of few tens of micrometers. Connecting a large number of high-speed I/Os to the outside world with good signal fidelity at low cost is an extremely challenging task. To cope with this requirement, we need reflection-free transmission lines from an on-chip pad to on-board SMA connectors. Such a transmission line is very hard to design due to the difference in on-chip and on-board feature size and the requirement for extremely large bandwidth. In this paper, we propose the use of narrow tracks close to chip and wide tracks away from the chip. This narrow-to-wide transition in width results in impedance discontinuity. A step change in substrate thickness is utilized to cancel the effect of the width discontinuity, thus achieving a reflection-free microstrip. To verify the concept, several microstrips were designed on multilayer FR4 PCB without any additional manufacturing steps. The TDR measurements reveal that the impedance variation is less than 3 ${\Omega}$ for a 50 ${\Omega}$ microstrip and S11 better than -9 dB for the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz when the width changes from 165 ${\mu}m$ to 940 ${\mu}m$, and substrate thickness changes from 100 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$.

Using high quality high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTS) YBCO thin films, we designed and fabricated 3-pole, 5-pole, and 7-pole lowpass filters consisting of microstrip transmission lines and open-stub lines. We measured the microwave response of the filters in the temperature range of T=85 K to 27 K. AtT=30 K, the observed inband insertion loss was 0.14dB and 0.02dB for the 5-pole and 7-pole filters, respectively. The cut-off frequency was 4.7 GHz for the 5-pole filter and 7.9GHz for the 7-pole filter. To the authors' knowledge, the measured inband insertion losses are the best values reported so far for the open-stub line type HTS multipole lowpass filters. The skirt property of the 5-pole filter showed a large improvement over that of the 3-pole filter as predicted from the simulation. We found that, to obtain a stable performance, the HTS multipole lowpass filters should be operated at the temperatures between 60% and 70% of $T_c$.

A new measurement method of coupled transmission line characteristics is described. This method presents precision values of even-and odd-mode impedances as well as effective dielectric constants of symmetric parallel coupled microstrip lines from the scalar quantities obtained by transmission coefficients at two different resonance frequencies. Especially these values include dispersion effects in the measured frequency band. The measured impedances and effective dielectric constants of actually fabricated coupled lines on the Teflon substrates with low dielectric constants are good agreement with predicted values. And the experimental pass band characteristics of single section resonator by using previously designed coupled lines agree well with theoretical values.
