In this study, we designed, measured, and analyzed a rearranged L-shape magnetic resonance coupling wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system for practical applications with laptops. The typical four resonator MR-WPT (Tx part: source loop and Tx coil; Rx part: Rx coil and load loop) is difficult to apply to small-sized stationary and mobile applications, such as laptop computers, tablet-PCs, and smartphones, owing to the large volume of the Rx part and the spatial restrictions of the Tx and Rx coils. Therefore, an L-shape structure, which is the orthogonal arrangement of the Tx and Rx parts, is proposed for indoor environment applications, such as at an L-shaped wall or desk. The relatively large Tx part and Rx coil can be installed in the wall and the desk, respectively, while the load loop is embedded in the small stationary or mobile devices. The transfer efficiency (TE) of the proposed system was measured according to the transfer distance (TD) and the misaligned locations of the load loop. In addition, we measured the TE in the active/non-active state and monitor-open/closed state of the laptop computer. The overall highest TE of the L-shape MR-WPT was 61.43% at 45 cm TD, and the TE decreased to 27.9% in the active and monitor-open state of the laptop computer. The conductive ground plane has a much higher impact on the performance when compared to the impact of the active/non-active states. We verified the characteristics and practical benefits of the proposed L-shape MR-WPT compared to the typical MR-WPT for applications to L-shaped corners.

In this paper, a new dual-band bandpass filter(BPF) that has resonators and feed lines with Stepped-Impedance Resonator(SIR) structures is proposed. Feed lines with SIR structure provide maximum magnetic field points which occur at the same locations of the input and output feed lines, so the insertion loss of BPF was reduced. Applying the SIR structure to the BPF for the first passband improves rejection characteristics between the first passband and the second passband. It reduces the coupling between the BPF for the first passband and the BPF for the second passband, so it makes the dual-band BPF more compact. The proposed design method provides independent changes of both the center frequency and the bandwidth for each resonator, and also improves filtering characteristics. The validity of the proposed design method is confirmed by comparisons between the designed parameters and the measured results satisfying WLAN specifications.

In this paper, we present an ultra miniaturized voltage tuned oscillator, with HMIC-type amplifier and phase shifter, using LTCC artificial dielectric resonator. ADR which consists of periodic conductor patterns and stacked layers has a smaller size than a dielectric resonator. The design specification of ADR is obtained from the design goal of oscillator. The structure of the ADR with a stacked circular disk type is chosen. The resonance characteristic, physical dimension and stack number are analyzed. For miniaturization of ADRO, the ADR is internally implemented at the upper part of the LTCC substrate and the other circuits, which are amplifier and phase shifter are integrated at the bottom side respectively. The fabricated ADRO has ultra small size of $13{\times}13{\times}3mm^3$ and is a SMT type. The designed ADRO satisfies the open-loop oscillation condition at the design frequency. As a results, the oscillation frequency range is 2.025~2.108 GHz at a tuning voltage of 0~5 V. The phase noise is $-109{\pm}4$ dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and the power is $6.8{\pm}0.2$ dBm. The power frequency tuning normalized figure of merit is -30.88 dB.

The Ultra-miniature and low phase noise Colpitts VCO of 0.06㏄ in size has been developed using the high Q resonator and phase compensation technique. This type is one transistor VCO without a buffer. To design and simulate the VCO accurately, nolinear model parameters of a bipolar transistor are extracted using the measured I-V data and S parameters based on the Gummel-Poon model. Design and simulation have been done by Serenade 7.5 design tool using the extracted nonlinear model parameters. The wideband VCO has been designed using two varactor diodes and open loop gain compensation technique to improve the operating frequency range. The ultra-miniature VCO has shown the phase noise of -91㏈c/Hz at 10KHz offset and output power of -3㏈m The wideband VCO has shown the tuning frequency bandwidth of 150MHz phase noise of -95㏈c/Hz at 10KHz offset and output power of 5㏈m.

Ship's wireless LAN was in the limelight as equipment of ease, cost reduction, various func tion al i ty. In the paper, a dual-bandpass filter for wireless LAN has proposed, which was designed by using dual-mode square loop resonator with square patch in compliance with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band of wireless LAN. The dual-bandpass filter could be designed by adjusting sizes of one perturbation element and three of reference elements in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, Furthermore, new dual-bandpass filter was also designed by adjusting stopband of using open stubs in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The measured results for the fabricated dual-bandpass filters agreed well with the simulated ones, and hence, it was confirmed that the proposed design method is valid.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit is presented for improving the phase noise property. The phase noise suppression is achieved through the harmonic control circuit having the short impedances for both second-harmonic and third-harmonic components, which has been connected at the output matching network. Also, we have used the microstrip square open loop multiple split-ring resonator(OLMSRR) having the high-Q property to further reduce the phase noise of VCO. Because the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit has been used for reducing the phase noise property instead of the High-Q resonator, we can obtain the broad tuning range by the low-Q resonator. The phase noise of the proposed VCO using the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit and the microstrip square OLMSRR has been $-127.5{\sim}126.33$ dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.744{\sim}5.839$ GHz. Compared with the reference VCO using the output matching network without the harmonic control circuit and the microstrip line resonator, the phase noise property of the proposed VCO has been improved in 26.66 dB.
