In this paper, a novel ultra wideband (UWB) planer antenna is proposed. The antenna is composed of a circle ring radiator and partially grounded, which occupies about 3 GHz bandwidth covering 6-9 GHz. A quasi-omnidirectional and quasi- symmetrical radiation pattern in y-z plane in the whole frequency band is also obtained. The results validated that the antenna satisfies the requirements of UWB communications, and will be a good solution for UWB applications.

This paper mainly presents the frequency and temperature characteristics of a W-band attenuator, which include the correlation of signal frequency to attenuation and ambient temperature to attenuation respectively. Since the attenuation has dependence on input frequency and ambient temperature, the investigation on these characteristics is helpful to the application of the attenuator. With the adoption of the EncoderDrivetrade micro-positioner [1], the frequency and temperature characteristics of W-band attenuator may then be quickly explored despite the short system stability. The setup and the experimental results are discussed in details as well.

An accurate procedure is proposed to characterize distributed parameters of silicon-based patterned shield and patterned ground shield coplanar waveguides (PS-and PGS-CPWs), where skin and proximity effects are treated appropriately. These interconnects can include symmetrical, asymmetrical, non-uniform, and even differential transmission lines. Numerical investigations are carried out to show the influence of various geometrical and physical parameters on the frequency-dependent distributed parameters, which is important in the design of silicon-based microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuits.

The application of an array of circular polarized log periodic dipole antennas (LPDA) as feed array for a multiple-beam antenna to cover 3.5:1 bandwidths is described. Meanwhile, the use of an array of log-periodic antennas for two kinds of arrangement: rectangular grid and hexagonal grid illumination is also presented. In comparison with the rectangular grid, hexagonal grid is more efficient in beam coverage area for synchronous-orbiting communications satellites. Enhanced feed concept is used in the LPDA feed array in order to increase gain in coverage area. Finally, the simulated results for beam contour which is excite by right-hand circular polarized LPDA of both grids and enhanced beam contour over the frequency range of 0.8 GH to 2.5 GHz are demonstrated.

Antenna element and array with harmonic suppression ability are desired in compact and integrated RF front-end systems, because they can lead to remove the additional bandpass filter. This paper presents a microstrip antenna element with the operation frequency of 35 GHz. A good second order harmonic suppression performance is obtained by a compact co-planar structure. A 1times4 array constructed by this element is also studied. The antenna array is fed by a corporate-feed network without using quarter-wavelength impedance transformers. Element and array gain of 5.4 dB and 11.4 dB are achieved, respectively. Compared to the traditional antenna array, the studies indicate that the array obtains a gain suppression of 9.1 dB and 7.0 dB at the frequency of 46 GHz (corresponding to TMn of the reference antenna array) and the second order harmonic frequency of 70 GHz, respectively.

Based on the coupled mode theory of the 1D coaxial Bragg structure, numerical analysis is carried out to study the band-gap peculiarity of an overmoded coaxial Bragg reflector. Results indicate that, usually, the band-gap overlapping becomes very serious under the overmoded operation; however, it can be controlled by tuning the relative initial corrugation phase shift between the outer wall and the inner rod of the Bragg structure. Especially, the serious overlapping can be well improved by setting the phase shift to pi.

The laser scattering characteristic of spheroidal interstellar dust moving with a high speed is investigated numerically. The coordinate and vector transformations have been presented to establish a theoretic basis for studying the laser scattering of a moving spheroidal interstellar dust. The laser differential scattered section (DSS) of a moving spheroidal interstellar dust is explained by the electric and magnetic field from Mie scattering theory in detail. Assuming the laser length of 2.2 mum, we had computed the ratio of the laser DSS of the moving spheroidal interstellar dust to that of the static interstellar dust, which changes with radii and scattering angles of the particle. The numerical results showed that the laser DSS of the moving spherical particle is tightly connected with its speed and scattering zenith angle. If a spheroidal interstellar dust moves with high speed, it has a strong forward scattering .The speed of the moving spheroidal interstellar dust is higher, the laser DSS value is larger. If a spheroidal interstellar dust moves with a low speed, the Influence of a high-speed spheroidal interstellar dust's movement on its scattering characteristics will be neglected.

A novel millimeter wave filter based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is presented. TE301 mode cavity is used in the design in order to improve the quality (Q) factor of the filter. Some corrective measures are taken to compensate for the unsymmetrical transmission response produced by parasitic coupling from the non-resonant mode. Measured results show that the stopband rejection of this filter is better than -45 dB. Sharp transition characteristic in both the lower side and the upper side demonstrates high selectivity of this filter.
