A pressure measuring system based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors is presented. Since SAW sensors are powered by the energy of the RF field no battery is required, which is a major drawback of conventional microcontroller based telemetry systems. A successful combination of a SAW reflective delay line with a high-Q capacitive pressure sensor is shown. With a new way of matching the sensor impedance to the SAW reflector impedance both a high signal-to-noise ratio and a high signal dynamic are achieved which supports accurate signal evaluation. As an example of realization the prototype of a tyre pressure sensor unit is presented.

In this paper, a novel coupled line bandpass filter with a DGS (Defected Ground Structure) is proposed to realize a compact size with low insertion loss characteristic. The proposed bandpass filter can provide an attenuation pole due to the resonance characteristic of the DGS. The equivalent circuit parameters for the DGS are extracted by using an EM simulation process and the circuit analysis method. The design method for the proposed 3-pole bandpass filter is derived based on coupled line filter theory and the derived equivalent circuit of the DGS. The experimental results show an excellent agreement with theoretical simulation results.

An analysis method, based on congruent transformation and model reduction, is described for evaluation of frequency and time domain sensitivity of networks which include lossy coupled transmission lines. The sensitivity can be calculated with respect to network components and parameters of transmission lines. The proposed algorithm provides a significant decrease in computational expense for sensitivity analysis.

We use a resistive-reactive crosscoupling within elliptic high- and low-pass filters to provide sharp-cutoff highpass or lowpass responses, which then reach an almost constant stopband attenuation value a short distance from the passband. This almost-constant stopband is maintained down to DC for highpass types and to at least twice the cutoff frequency for lowpass configurations. Similar resistive-reactive crosscoupling configurations can be used to provide constant stopband levels for bandpass and bandstop networks.

Resonator and filter topologies are introduced which rely on the geometric deformation of a guiding structure resulting in the establishment of resonant conditions in more compact structures. Conceptually, the structures are analogous to Mobius strips. The path length of the edge in a Mobius strip is twice an length of the edge of the rectangle deformed in creating the Mobius strip geometry. Analogously, this means the structure can be at resonance even though the length of the line, before deformation, was a half wavelength long. The concept has been demonstrated in planar geometries and in wire-loaded cavity structures. The dual-mode nature of the fundamental resonance is readily apparent.

This paper demonstrates a hybrid-distributed amplifier based on four-cascaded single stage distributed amplifiers (4-CSSDA). The amplifier produces an available power gain significantly higher than conventional distributed amplifiers (CDA) using the same number of active devices. Simulation results show the advantage of the proposed amplifier over the conventional one. Measured results for two versions of the 4-CSSDA were achieved and show a good performance of high gain, gain flatness, input and output matching, flat group delays and low noise figure across 1-10 GHz bandwidth. The two versions of the CSSDA proved that the available power gain can be increased by increasing the interstage characteristic impedance of the amplifier stages.

An internally ground-equalized coplanar branch line coupler (BLC) is fabricated by post-processing 2poly/2metal analog CMOS chips. First level metallization is used to equalize the ground planes, hence to suppress the unwanted coupled-slot-line mode propagation. This addition necessitates additional compensation of signal lines to improve the return losses. Fabricated CMOS chips are post-processed with a two-step procedure. First, a thick polyimide film is screen-printed on the devices as a stress-compensation. Then, the silicon substrate is selectively removed underneath the devices. The measured responses show very good agreement with simulations. Fabricated devises exhibit return losses less than 10 dB and maximum of 1 dB amplitude difference in the frequency range of 25-30 GHz.

Low phase noise characteristic can be in a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) by using a high Q SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) device. In this type of VCO, new method for obtaining both wide tuning range and low phase noise characteristic is proposed and experimentally verified. This paper also shows the feasibility of single chip VCOs using PLIC (Poly-Lithic Integrated Circuit) technology compatible with CMOS integrated circuit technology, which allows us to develop a true single chip mobile communication system.

This paper presents two superconducting filters for IMT-2000 band with a 20 MHz bandwidth and a 1930 MHz center frequency. One aimed at not only steep skirt but also low insertion loss and low group delay deviation by 16 resonators, while another focused on extreme steep skirt performance by 32 resonators. These filters were fabricated using YBCO films on a half area and on a full area of a 3-inch diameter MgO wafer respectively. An excellent insertion loss less than 0.4 dB for a 16-pole filter and an excellent attenuation more than 30 dB apart 420 KHz from lower band-edge for a 32-pole filter.
