The six-port correlator is comprised of a power divider and three hybrid couplers. In this paper, the six-port phase correlator using three-arm branch $90^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler were designed with the center frequency of 11.85 GHz. The performances for the six-port phase correlator was analyzed by using ADS2003A tool. Three-arm six-port phase correlator provides more wide dynamic frequency range than that of six-port using the conventional hybrid coupler in range of circa five times, which is range of 10.8 to 12.3GHz (1.5 GHz). The phase errors among the output ports of the six-port phase correlator are below $5^{\circ}$. The six-port Phase correlator was fabricated to evaluate the Performance of the proposed six-port phase correlator. The measured performance of the six-port phase correlator shows the good accordance with the simulation data.

A newly advanced method of characterizing large signal S-parameters of TR using the overall gain of normally operating TR is proposed based on the load pull method which gives the matching network only. Large signal S-parameters of TR are characterized from the circuit which consists of TR and 3dB Coupler Tuners at the input and output ports, and which is B class biased with 0dBminput signal. Amplifier can be designed to have 8.5dB gain at 770MHz using the calculated large signal S-parameters with the resulting gain of 8.786dB.

In this paper, a novel design and implementation of a dual-band directional coupler based on RF IPD(Integrated Passive Device)-on-glass technology is proposed, which can be adopted in GSM/GPRS cellular phones for closed loop power control at the output of the power amplifier. The proposed coupler has a compensation capacitor to improve the directivity, and was designed using a new diplexing structure to minimize the cross-band isolation.

The proposed variable pawer divider in this paper is composed of one equal power 2-way Wilkinson power divider, two variable phase shifters with 90-degree phase variation to be connected two output paths of the 2-way power divider, and one branchline coupler to combine output signals of two variable phase shifter. The proposed variable power divider can theoretically have an arbitrary power division ratio ranging from ${\infty}:1$ to ${\infty}:1$ due to 90-degrees phase variation of two phase shifter. The proposed power divider circuit fabricates on laminated TLX-9(h=20 mil, er=2.5; Taconic) with a center frequency of 1.7 GHz. The power division ratio of the fabricated prototype varies from about 1:100 to 200:1, with an input reflection characteristic(S11) of below -16 dB, an insertion loss of about -1.0 dB, and an isolation characteristic of below -17 dB between two output ports in the range 1.65-1.75 GHz.

This paper propose a new taegeuk shaped directional couper and verify the possibility of high power division rate in those directional coupler through the experiments. We took the taegeuk shaped structure in those proposed directional coupler to utilize a $3\lambda/4$ section of hybrid ring directional coupler actively, and calculated the branch admittances, which satisfied the condition of perfect matching and isolation in the center frequency, by even odd mode analyzing methodes. On the result, we knew that it can be realized a much higher power division rate than reported result in same circuit area within the producible resistance limit in the microstrip line, made the taegeuk shaped directional couplers with 0, 8, 16 dB power split ratio in the 10 GHz frequency using CGP - 502 plate, and confirmed the validity of theory through the experiments.

Generally, the output matching circuit has the most influence to the output power of oscillator and existing method for output matching has difficulty for making the optimum output matching circuit because the matching has to be done nearby the infinite impedance area of the Smith Chart. In this paper, it is studied for the output matching circuit of the microwave oscillator to get the maximum output power. The maximum output point can be found by adjusting the position of moving short in the Tuner while the oscillator is operating after connect the 3-dB coupler Tuner to the oscillator without output matching circuit. To design the oscillator for the maximum output power can be done easily with the microstrip line which is realized from the measured S-parameters of Tuner. In compare the oscillator by the existing method with another one by the suggested method in this paper, the first one has 6.45 dBm output power and second one has 9.71 dBm which is 3.26 dBm higher than the first one at the oscillation frequency 1.0338 GHz.

Electronic/hybrid car and electroplating rectifier should have switching devices such as SCR, MOSFET, IGBT. And those switching devices should be operated by gate driver. In this paper, we propose high power gate driver that contains H-Bridge using 4 BJTs. H-Bridge and transformer generate isolate power. And gate control signal is transferred to isolated one by photo coupler and operate real switching device. We designed H-Bridge and 555-Timer by PSpice simulation and manufactured real product. Finally we succeed to operate 27V 50,000A electroplating rectifier using proposed gate driver.

In the conventional star coupler, a certain amount of loss should be expected because lateral diffraction is used for the power distribution. In this paper, we propose a new design of a low loss star coupler which employs UV-written tapered waveguides and an AWG based on the low loss star couplers, and investigate their various characteristics. The loss of the UV-written star coupler is lower than that of the conventional star coupler, and the AWG device based on the UV-written star couplers shows low loss characteristics.
