A novel bandpass filter using the cascaded CPW/slotline ring resonators with tapered step impedance CPW fed structure is proposed. This fed structure not only provides two transmission zeros for the bandpass filter at the lower and upper passband edges but also makes the filter with very compact size. The CPW/Slotline ring resonators utilize a pair of anti-coupled lines to create poles. Moreover, the central frequency and coupling coefficient can be obtained by adjusting the anti-coupling gap. In this paper, two kinds of bandpss filters with CPW/Slotline ring resonators are demonstrated which have fabricated on conventional FR-4 substrate. The measured insertion loss is less than 3 dB and the return loss is better than 15 dB across 10% bandwidth. The measured results show good agreement with HFSS simulated results.

This paper reports on microwave characteristics of micromachined GaN-based thin-film bulk acoustic resonator devices. The 2.2 micron active piezoelectric layer was epitaxially grown on (111)-oriented high-resistivity silicon substrate. Bulk micromachining techniques were used for the release of the resonating GaN membrane structure. S-parameter measurements have shown a fundamental mode resonance around 1.2 GHz. Extracted material parameters such as acoustic velocity and effective coupling coefficient are in good agreement with those reported in the literature using other methods. These are, to our knowledge, the first FBAR results with GaN-based active layers.

In this paper, the separately arranged suppression patterns are investigated. The suppression band of SSN is critically influenced from the size of patterns rather than the periodicity. By arranging the suppression patterns separately on the power plane, SI problems can be reduced, as well as good suppression characteristics are achieved.

A new method based on artificial neural networks (ANN) for solution of the inverse problem for reconstruction of the complex Bragg gratings, precisely, is proposed. The Runge-Kutta method for calculation of spectrum of the reflection coefficient based on the Riccati equation in a fiber Bragg gratings is used and the application of the multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) in inverse scattering problem is considered. The training of the MLPNN is based on the back propagation algorithm. The simulated results of the complex Bragg gratings for given non-uniformity are used as training data. Finally, after training the simulated results of the output of ANN shows effectiveness of the proposed methodology. In this paper the proposed idea is examined for some examples.

In this paper, a novel compact internal wide-band planar inverted F-antenna (PIFA) is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a main patch with stubs and folded plate and occupies a total volume of 36 times 16 times 6 mm3. The dual bands characteristic can be achieved by changing the length of a main patch. A wide impedance bandwidth characteristic was obtained by optimizing the length of folded patch, stubs and shorting strip. The measured impedance bandwidth, determined by 6 dB return loss, of the operating bands reach 10.85% at 922.5 MHz and 58% at 2115 MHz, respectively. The maximum gains at the frequencies of 915, 1576, 1785, 2170, 2400 and 2630 MHz were 1.0, 2.7, 5.43, 4.65 and 1.52, 2.95 dBi, respectively. The overall shapes of the radiation patterns are suitable for mobile communication application.

In this paper we show an edge-fed 4- port microstripline integrated antenna that has the dual function of power combining as well as being a radiator. The radiation pattern is similar to a two element microstrip half-wave patch array. The edge-feeding allows transistors of an amplifier to be connected directly to the antenna thereby eliminating interconnecting lines. The antenna provides ease of transistor biasing without the need for extra bias circuitry. Experimental results have validated simulations for a prototype operating at 2.47 GHz.

An InGaP/GaAs HBT upconversion mixer and VCO is designed by current injection and harmonic noise frequency filtering technique to improve linearity and phase noise performance. The VCO which is combined with mixer, is designed and fabricated with low phase noise of -133.96 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. Since VCO output and mixer input impedances are matched to 50Omega, there is no need an extra matching circuit. The measured conversion gain of the upconversion mixer is 0 dB. It shows the effective gain flatness of 1.2 dB from 1.6 GHz to 1.8 GHz. Also, it has third-order input intercept point (IIP3) of +18 dBm, and a third-order output intercept point (OIP3) of +19.2 dBm. An integrated differential cascode output amplifier generates the input and output-referred 1-dB compression point (PldB) as 1 dBm and 1.2 dBm. The high linearity mixer-VCO is fabricated within a total chip area of 2560 x 900 mum.

RF CMOS amplifier design technique using the carrier velocity saturation region on the drain current of the MOS transistor aggressively has been proposed. By setting the transistor gate bias to the power supply voltage (Vdd), stable operation against Vdd variations can be achieved with a simple circuit configuration. By using the technique, a 5 GHz amplifier has been designed and fabricated by using 0.18-μm CMOS process technology. The chip has been operated with a gain variation less than 1 dB having a peak gain of 13.5 dB when Vdd has been changed from 1.2 to 2.9 V. Input and output matching variations are 1 dB and 3 dB with minimum values of ™10.2 dB and ™ 11.5 dB respectively.
