A novel balanced-to-unbalanced filtering power divider using ring resonators is proposed. Due to the symmetry of the circuit model, even/odd-mode analysis method is applied to deduce the design equations at the operating frequency. The ring resonators can bring two transmission zeros in each side of the passband for differential-mode, which can improve frequency selectivity and out-of-band suppression. A fabricated prototype (εr = 2.65, h = 1 mm, tan δ = 0.003) with 4-dB bandwidth of 12.5% is designed and measured to prove the proposed methods.

A Fresnel Zone Plate Lens designed for the Mid-IR is modified for acting as a THz Antenna. This proposal is the base for a dual band detector consisting of a Silicon (Si) substrate with a quasi-spiral antenna detector working at THz frequencies which acts also as a modified Fresnel Zone Plate Lens for an IR detector. The focal properties of the proposed lens have been studied numerically, and its behavior as a submillimeter wave receiver has been demonstrated by a 3D full-wave simulator.

China is planning to build a 5-m THz telescope named DATE5 at Dome A in Antarctica. The telescope will operate in 0.85 THz and 1.5 THz frequency bands. A waveguide superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer is developed for the 0.85 THz frequency band by utilizing parallel-connected tunnel junctions (PCTJ) with Nb/AlN/NbN trilayer and NbTiN/SiO2/Al microstrip tuning circuit on quartz substrate. Its frequency response is measured by a Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS), showing an FWHM frequency coverage of 762–925 GHz. The measured uncorrected double sideband (DSB) receiver noise temperature is approximately equal to 450 K at 840 GHz. With the vacuum window and beamsplitter losses corrected, the receiver noise temperature is less than five times the quantum-limited noise. Detailed mixer design and measurement results will be presented.

A novel systematic synthesis method for negative group delay(NGD)structure is proposed in this paper. Transfer functions are obtain from synthesised characteristics polynomials which provides higher design flexibility. An optimum design condition is derived to reduce the number of resonators being equal to the highest degree of polynomial. Different synthesis examples are discussed with different orders and NGD responses. The exact agreement between the polynomial and coupling matrix based responses illustrate the proposed synthesis method.

A dual-polarized wideband substrate-integrated-waveguide fed aperture-coupled slot antenna array for 60 GHz is proposed. By cutting a semicircle shape on the edge of the crossed-slot antenna, the impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is effectively widen and achieves overlapped bandwidth of 16.7% for simulated |S11| and |S22|. In addition, over 35 dB isolation between two polarization and low cross-polarization level are achieved for dual-polarization operations. A gain up to 11.4 dB is obtained for 2×2 array. Most importantly, the proposed antenna array uses the aperture coupling method to enable the connection between PCB layers. It could be fabricated by stacking three layers of standard printed circuit board (PCB) laminates. With the advantages of low-cost, convenience of fabrication and desired performances, the proposed antenna is suitable for the millimeterwave antenna applications.

A compact dual-frequency antenna with two-port excitation and large frequency ratio is presented. It consists of a circularly-polarized (CP) microstrip patch antenna at 2.4 GHz and a linearly-polarized (LP) substrate-integrated cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) at 60 GHz, resulting in a large frequency ratio of as high as 25. The two antenna parts are designed on a single substrate, giving a very compact structure. Slot-coupled source and probes are used to excite the upper-band DRA and the lower-band patch antenna, respectively. ANSYS HFSS was used to simulate the S-parameters, radiation patterns, antenna gains, and axial ratio (AR) (patch antenna part only) of the two antenna parts. The lower-band patch antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 17.3% and AR bandwidth of 15.3%, whereas the upper-band has an impedance bandwidth of 13.15%.

In this paper, we present a millimeter-wave sequential power amplifier (SPA) at the frequency of 26GHz for the first time. The proposed SPA consists of a 3dB power divider, two GaAs power amplifier chips acting as the main and peaking amplifier respectively, and an 8dB output coupler. Measurement results show 6dB back-off efficiency of 18.5% and peak output power of 24.4dBm at 26GHz. The frequency response from 26GHz to 27GHz is also given, and 6dB back-off efficiency better than 18% is achieved from 26GHz to 27GHz.

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional antenna resonator consisting of a pair of inverted L-shaped wires sharing a common part, a continuous metallic ground slab, and a coaxial port loaded with a lumped matching resistor to mimic the input impedance of a rectifier. Such a resonator array can function as an efficient RF energy receiving aperture in the long-distance wireless power transmission system. Unlike the conventional receiving array, where the distance between adjacent elements is half wavelength to reduce the mutual coupling, here the distance between the receiving elements is electrically very small to achieve good impedance matching between free space and energy output port. An equivalent circuit model is proposed to explain the energy capture mechanism. Simulation results show that near unity energy capture efficiency at resonant frequency is obtained under incidence of both normal and oblique incident wave.
