A design method for a multisection impedance transforming branch-line hybrid using a genetic algorithm suitable for MMIC applications is proposed. In contrast to the previous design methods, an asymmetric structure is introduced to optimize the hybrid. Optimization is performed within the impedance range to achieve the realizable hybrids with a microstrip line in a desired frequency range. This design method is applicable to the hybrid which has the arbitrary power division ratio, impedance transforming ratio, isolation, directivity and bandwidth. The hybrid designed by the proposed method has 3∼10％ more bandwidth than the previous results.

In this paper, we propose a microstrip line fed printed monopole antenna which has an ultra-wideband characteristic. Proposed antenna can improve the bandwidth characteristic with the taper structure formed by modified ground plane and radiating element. Measured impedance bandwidth ratio of the antenna is more than 30:1; from the lower frequency of 0.89 GHz to the upper frequency of more than 30 GHz for VSRW$\leq$2. The antenna has conical radiation pattern that has low radiation gain to $\theta$=0$^{\circ}$ direction and higher radiation gains as $\theta$ increases.

Low cost patch array antenna for high sensitivity electromagnetic(EM) sensor is presented. The operating frequency band of the antenna is 24.05~24.25 GHz. Array structure is the symmetrical pattern by Chebyshev polynomial and the feed point is located in the middle of the array. Also, the gain of the array antenna can be increased by the side wings which are connected with the ground plane. It is proved through simulation and the measurement results that the operating frequency and the side-lobe level(SLL) are rarely changed when the inclined angle of the side wings is varied.

In this paper, microstrip antenna to enhance the isolation between transmitting port and receiving port under the proximity objects is proposed, and applied to the Doppler radar sensor working at 5.8GHz ISM band which detects vital signals of a human body. Two 3dB quadrature hybrids are placed around radiation patch to form a balanced structure between transmitting port and receiving port, such that it consistently provides enhanced Tx/Rx isolation and excellent return loss over nearby objects. It is theoretically analyzed and simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The fabricated antenna that is 2mm away from the human body, has more than 16 dB return loss and at least 30dB isolation over ISM frequency band of 5.8GHz.

In this paper, we propose a new near-field reader antenna for 900 MHz RFID. The proposed antenna consists the micro-strip antenna with the periodic structure. The overall dimension of the antenna is $313mm{\times}152mm{\times}14mm$. The antenna has the uniform E-field distribution in near field region and the heart-shaped radiation beam pattern (Peak gain=-2 dBi). The transmitted power range is from 17 dBm to 23 dBm. We focus on minimizing the detected error by suppressing the reflected power from the metal, which is attached to the surface by tag, and by reducing the transmitted power from tag.

In this paper, we have designed 800[MHz] broad band antenna that is improves a narrow bandwidth problem of microstrip antenna and it will be able to integrate GSM, TRS band including the CDMA band. It had L-shaped feeding structure and added the U-slot it used a duplex resonance effect. Also for the improvement of profit the stack it did with the perpendicular. It seems to be good quality that design and manufactured antenna frequency bandwidth(VSWR 2:1) is 789~1086[MHz] with 297[MHz](33%). Also the E-plan and H-plan all profit 9.4[dBi] above, 3[dB] beam width was visible the quality which above $61^{\circ}$ is improved.

A novel folded dipole type microstrip patch antenna designed for ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is presented in this paper, which can be used on the metallic objects. The presented antenna is fabricated on a very thin Rogers 5880 substrate with a thickness of 0.508 mm. The structure consists of two folded dipole and two symmetrical shorting pins placed at both sides of feed point. An adjustable frequency response can be easy obtained via modify the location and radius of the shorting pins. The antenna has been analyzed by full wave simulations soft. The simulated bandwidth is about 67.2 MHz, which covers the Europe and North America UHF RFID frequency range. A manufactured prototype has been fabricated and measured to demonstrate the antenna performances. The simulation results agree with the measurement data well. The measured maximum reading range of the prototype can be reached 4.1 m in free space, and 3.2 m on a metal plate whose size is $150{\times}150{\times}8mm^3$.

A new low phase noise Dielectric Resonator Parallel Feedback Oscillator(DRPFO) that is proposed in this paper has a simple structure so that it can be fabricated in low cost and with high performance. The proposed DRPFO is in a feedback loop oscillator configuration, which is composed of a low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, a power attenuator, a power divider and a parallel resonator feedback element that consists of a dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. The measured phase noise of DRPFO was less than -81 dBc/Hz at offset frequency 1 kHz of 10.75 GHz carrier frequency, and the frequency stability of DRPFO was less than $\pm$200 kHz over the temperature range of -40$^{\circ}$C to +60$^{\circ}$C.

This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even-odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri-band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.

A new analytical VLSI interconnect delay model is presented and its accuracy is experimentally verified. In the model, the transmission line parameter variations due to skin effect, proximity effect, and silicon substrate effect are taken into account. That is, the circuit model of the interconnect line that includes these effects is newly developed and analyzed. For the model verification, test patterns combined the coplanar structure with microstrip were designed by using 0.35${\mu}m$ CMOS process technology. It is shown that the accuracy of the model is less than about 10% error.
