In this paper, the short-open calibration (SOC) technique, which was originally proposed, developed and self-contained in a research-oriented full-wave method of moments (MoM) simulator, is imbedded for the first time in a commercial simulator for the modeling and parameter extraction of planar integrated circuits and discontinuities. The SOC technique requires only two standards, namely short and open standards, which can be easily realized in commercial MoM simulators. By removing inherent numerical noise and errors, accurate equivalent circuit model of the circuits can be extracted and developed. Two examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in conjunction with a commercial package of choice.

This paper introduces new compact defected ground structure (DGS). The equivalent circuit parameters have been extracted using circuit analysis. The proposed DGS has smallest rectangular occupying area and it is 15.3% more compact than the previously reported structure in the literature. A novel low pass filter has been designed using the etched radial slot and the proposed DGS. The LPF have sharp rejection in the stop band.

Surface wave launchers have been used to feed leaky wave antennae. We present here for the first time measured results of a two element CPW-fed surface wave launcher array. It was shown at 22 GHz that this array can beam steer the surface wave 40deg. Array fabrication, measurement set-up and signal processing will also be described in the paper.

I/O cells operating up to 10 Gb/s, are now becoming standard blocks in complex integrated circuits (ICs). Integration of these multiple I/O cells in conjunction with other cores (e.g. mixed-signal) and higher power requirements has increased the pin count for some devices to above one thousand pins. This presents tough challenges for the automated test equipment (ATE) industry, in terms of developing solutions to address the data rate and routing density. This paper demonstrates a novel approach for designing a high density Pogo pin transition to a multilayer planar PCB structure that achieves not only the required 10 Gb/s performance but also maintains the necessary density, and cost requirements that are inherent to an ATE solution.

This paper proposes a quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) using 0.18-mum 1P6M standard CMOS process. The QVCO is realized by combining two differential oscillators via the bulk terminals. Using this approach, we can reduce the power dissipation and remove the noise from the additional coupling transistors compared with conventional QVCOs. To improve the phase noise, the oscillator is composed of Colpitts topology for lower phase noise than its cross-coupled counterpart. Moreover, the Colpitts oscillator adopts only PMOS to achieve a better phase noise performance because PMOS has less 1/f noise than NMOS. The VCO operates from 4.9 to 5.5 GHz with more than 11% tuning range. The measured phase noise at 600-kHz offset is -117 dBc/Hz at 5.2 GHz. The QVCO dissipates 10.8 mW at 1.8 V and achieves a good FOM of 185 dB.

This paper presents an ultra-low voltage UWB LNA in a commercial 0.18mum CMOS technology. The technique of inductive degeneration is used in a two-stage conventional distributed amplifier to achieve broadband and low noise. The common source single-stage amplifier is cascaded to the conventional distributed amplifier to improve the gain at high frequency. The measured gain of the integrated LNA is 10dB with the 3dB bandwidth from 2.7 to 9.1 GHz. The average noise figure is 4.65dB and the IIP3 is OdBm. Operated at 0.6V, the UWB CMOS LNA consumes 7mW.

Based on the theory of vibration modal analysis, first 5 natural vibration frequencies and their mode shapes were calculated with ANSYS finite element analysis software. Their stress distributions of some modes, where cracks are formed easily to make microwave equalizer invalidation, were analyzed also. And, the reasons of phase noise, which influence the electric parameter characters of equalizer, induced by random vibration of the equalizer were explained.

This paper proposes a filter with on transmission zero based on a combination of a vertically stacked and a horizontally arranged planar dielectric waveguide with cross coupling and low insertion loss were developed for 60 GHz band applications. The fabricated BPF exhibited one transmission zero at the higher frequency side of the pass band due to the post gap coupled waveguide. At the center operation frequency of 57.7 GHz, the 20 dB bandwidth of the BPF is 1.0 GHz, which is almost 2% of the center operation frequency, and the insertion loss is 1.12 dB. One transmission zero reach approximately 25 dB at 59.0 GHz. Unlike shifted frequency, demanded specifications were satisfied with the measured result.
