In this paper, a planar transistor oscillator for X-band using a newly proposed L-shaped monopole slot resonator is proposed. For planar design, an L-shaped monopole slot with an open-end is used as a resonator for a transistor oscillator. As a result of the simulated design of the resonator in three stages, a high Q value of 1169.84 and a high insertion loss of 49.934 dB were identified. The results of the final design and manufactured oscillator measurements confirmed that the oscillation output is greater than 7 dBm and has good phase noise characteristics of -58 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. The proposed oscillator is planar and has the advantage of being directly applicable to microwave integrated circuit technology. It also has the advantage of being able to reduce its size as it can only be implemented in microstrip form without additional devices such as metal cavities and tuning screws in 3D structures, as in the case of a DRO (dielectric resonance oscillator).

In order to enhance satellite communication system performance, filters are required with the characteristics of sharp skirt, low insertion loss, and high power handling capability. But the performance of microwave passive filters is significantly declined by the conduction losses, especially in case of planar structures using film conductors. By using high temperature superconducting(HTS) film material as the conductor, higher performance could be expected. We have designed and developed narrow bandpass filters using haripin-type superconducting microstrip line for satellite communication. High quality superconducting YBCO thin films have been grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) The deposited YBCO films were patterned by conventional wet-etching process. The transition temperatures of these films had shown 86 - 89 K. The film thicknesses were about 500 nm. Experimental results are presented for the insertion loss and return loss of the filter at 60 K.

An antenna was designed and manufactured for the DBS receiver system. This antenna is a planar or flat antenna which shows many advantages over the conventional parabolic antenna such as higher aperture efficiency, easier installation and improved aesthetics to name a few. The antenna is a novel design employing microstrip annular ring resonating antenna elements and a radial waveguide feeder network. The LNB(Low Noise Blockdown Converter) is can integrate with the antenna iしt the back of the radial waveguide. The 35cm diameter antenna works at 31.8dBi minimum gain which implies an aperture efficiency of around $80\%$.

Strongly motivated by the need for significant reduction in the optics-to-antenna interface circuitry used in a Photonically controlled array, it has proposed the design development of a novel 'true photonic antenna' consisted of optical fiber and micro-strip antenna. To clarify the design capability of the geometry, modal transmission-line theory including the discontinuity property between circular i,nd planar guiding structures is defined, md the optical power coupling of a slot-coupled microstrip antenna directly fed from an optical fiber using photoconductive effect is evaluated numerically. The numerical results reveal that the maximum power transfer between the two different guiding structures occurs at a new point in which the guiding powers of two rigorous modes are equally partitioned.

A novel microstrip circular slot antenna fed by a spiral line is presented in this paper. This antenna is a planar equivalent structure of an eccentric spiral antenna generates a circularly-polarized wave. We have investigated the input impedance and radiation characteristics of this antenna by using an EM (electromagnetic) simulator, and obtained a design method [or optimum structure. The main characteristic of the antenna is that the main beam direction is off-normal to the antenna plane and moves linearly into ${\theta }$ and ${\phi }$ direction as the frequency increases. This feature allows one to predict the main beam direction easily for a given operating frequency. This antenna has axial ratio lower than 3 dB in the direction of main beam over one octave bandwidth.

In this paper, an antenna for telematics is proposed. It operates at GPS/GSM frequency-bands and it can be installed inside of a vehicle. There is a great difference between the proposed antenna and commonly used antennas. It needs not to use a dielectric with a high permittivity since it is formed on a sheet of FR4 with only 1mm thickness. Thus, it is possible to cut costs and make process of manufacture simple. Planar inverted-F antenna(PIFA) for GSM and microstrip antenna(MSA) for GPS is designed and PIFA-MSA antenna is proposed. The height is lower than that of commonly used antennas. And polarization of the PIFA and MSA is arranged perpendicularly for isolation improvement of each port, thus isolation of these two antennas is improved. Also, it is sufficient for the all specifications.

A design and its experimental result of a wideband self-complementary spiral antenna for UWB USPR(Ultrashort-Pulse Radar) system applications is presented. By utilizing the planar-type ultra-wideband microstrip-to-CPS balun, ultra-wideband characteristics of the inherent spiral antenna are retrieved. Also, the design procedure of the spiral antenna is simplified by performing simple impedance matching between separately designed balun and antenna. The proposed spiral antenna is equiangular self-complementary spiral antenna. The implemented antenna demonstrates widebaad performance for frequency ranges from 2.9 to 12 GHz with the relatively flat antenna gain of 2.7 to 5.3 dB and broad beamwidth of more than $70^{\circ}$. From these result, the possibility of a spiral antenna using a ultra-wideband microstrip-CPS balun is verified.

In this letter, we designed monopole microstrip antenna for WLAN / WiMAX system. The monopole antenna is designed by FR-4 substrate with size is $30mm{\times}40mm$. The proposed antenna is based on a planar monopole design which cover WLAN and WiMAX frequency bands. To obtainthe optimized parameters, we used the simulator, CST's Microwave Studio Program and found the parameters that greatly effect antenna characteristics. Using the obtained parameters, the antenna is designed. Thus the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. And characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are obtained for WLAN/WiMAX frequency bands.

Conduction noise attenuation by composite sheets of high magnetic and dielectric loss has been analyzed by using electromagnetic field simulator which employs finite element method. The simulation model consists of microstrip line with planar input/output ports and noise absorbers (magnetic composite sheets containing iron flake particles as absorbent fillers). Reflection and transmission parameters $(S_{11}\;and\;S_{21})$ and power loss are calculated as a function of frequency with variation of sheet size and thickness. The simulated value is in good agreement with measured one and it is demonstrated that the proposed simulation technique can be effectively used in the design and characterization of noise absorbing materials in the RF transmission lines.
