A novel metallic wire substrate (MWS) is proposed for miniaturized planar microwave circuits. This MWS consists of a dense array of vertical metallic wires embedded in a regular host substrate. It is demonstrated experimentally to exhibit magneto- dielectrics properties with simultaneously enhanced effective permittivity and permeability in a broad frequency range. Consequently, a substrate of higher effective refractive index is obtained, which allows size reduction in planar components and antennas. The extracted permittivity and permeability are about 5.5 and 1.7 (compared to the host substrate with epsivr = 2.94), respectively, from DC to 10 GHz.

Microwave plasma is widely used for plasma processing, especially plasma chemistry and chemical dry etching. Its main advantages are operation at wide pressure ranges, low plasma potentials, absence of high-energy ion flax at the substrate and chamber walls, relatively small damage at the processed surface and clean plasma environment provided by the absence of extensive wall abrasion. However, standing-wave mode jumps make continuous plasma density control problematic. The present contribution reports one effective solution to this problem: a mode-jump free internal dielectric microwave applicator.

Based on multi-path design, a new method is proposed for design of stepped- impedance low-pass filters (LPFs) with improved attenuation levels and rejection bandwidth by creating transmission zeros. In a third-order circuit, an extra short microstrip section is introduced to shunt with the low-Z section and provides a second signal path. Two-port network analysis is formulated to predict the zeros. Design parameters include the electric length and characteristic impedance of the shunt section. Measured results show good agreement with simulation.

In motion slot array antenna for receiving satellite broadcasting is presented. To reduce the loss of feed line and to reduce the coupling between the slots, we use the waveguide feeding network and the circular groove. By using two cross-type polarizers, which are implemented on a single layer film, the proposed antenna can receive RHCP or LHCP by mechanical switching system. The gains of 4x8 and 8x16 slot array antennas are 27.5dB, 31.5dB respectively. Also, in satellite broadcasting band of 11.75~12.75GHz, the axial ratio is smaller than 5dB.

A low-loss LIGA-fabricated conductor- backed coplanar waveguide and filter are presented. The copper transmission lines are 517 mum thick and are fabricated directly on quartz in a uniplanar X- ray lithography process. The conductor-backed CPW achieves a measured attenuation of 0.090 dB/cm at 18 GHz with low dispersion over the bandwidth of interest. A bandpass filter is realized using the thick-metal CPW with with two shorted quarter-wave resonators, which provide a passband between 6 and 11 GHz and a loss of -1 dB at 8.5 GHz.

A novel miniaturized ring resonator is presented to achieve a dual-mode bandpass filter with wide rejection bandwidth. By utilizing periodical loadings inside the square ring resonator, it not only can compact size of 48%, raise the first spurious to 2.4 times of its fundamental passband, but facilitate the practical realization of dual-mode bandpass filter, simultaneously. The fractional bandwidth of 6% is achieved. The designed structure is quite simple. Moreover, both simulated and measured results demonstrate good agreement.

Usually the digital phase shifters are used to steer the beam of a phased array antenna, and the accuracy of beam steering and other properties of the radiation pattern is dependent on the number of bits of the phase shifter and its resolution. In this paper the results of simulations, accomplished using a number of phase feeding methods in order to reduce the phase quantization error effects are presented and three new methods are introduced and compared with the previous works.

In this paper an interesting high-precision optical displacement sensor based on fiber optics and intensity modulation is presented. The proposed sensor has below nm precision and so excellent for high precision measurement and instrumentation systems design and implementation. The proposed method is so easy for implementation and based on diffractive optics. With variation of the barrier the reflected intensity is varied and this is a measure for distance.

Coupled-line filters (CLFs) with a 180deg phase shift are analyzed and coupling compensated design equations are derived. They can be applied for arbitrary termination impedances and arbitrary coupling coefficients. To verify the design equations reasonable, a microstrip CLF with a coupling coefficient of -7 dB is fabricated on a substrate (epsivr = 3.5 ,H = 30 mil, tan delta = 0.04) and tested for 100 Omega and 70 Omega termination impedances. The measured results show good agreement with the simulated ones.
