This letter presents a new microstrip diplexer with self-packaged and wide bandwidth based on substrate-integrated suspended line (SISL) technology. Diplexer consists of D-CRLH filters which include mixed coupling. The electromagnetic interaction is canceled out in the filter, generating two transmission zeros and giving the filter good stopband suppression. Diplexer utilizes a T-junction to make filters work in parallel. Each channel filter can be individually controlled. To validate the proposal, a diplexer operating at 1.88 GHz and 2.64GHz with fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 14.6% and 19.1% is designed and fabricated. A good agreement is perceived between measured and simulated.

This paper presents a lowpass filter for 5.8 GHz Doppler radar with an intermediate frequency signal hold function, which significantly reduces system power by interrupt mode operation. Additionally, it proposes a novel complementary push-pull DC offset calibration method to calibrate the DC voltage of the lowpass filter with the common mode voltage. Compared to traditional methods, the proposed scheme effectively stabilize the quiescent operating point of the receiver. The experimental results show that the power consumption of the proposed filter is 0.019 mW, calibrated DC voltage is 1.65 V, and residual DC voltage is less than 1 mV.

A low phase noise low power ring voltage-controlled oscillator (Ring-VCO) is proposed for phase-locked loops (PLLs) in the 802.11ah communication protocol band. A three-stage Ring-VCO with dual-path structure delay cells is designed to meet the high performance requirements of Internet of Things. The main noise source in the differential delay cell can be eliminated at the differential output, thus reducing phase noise. Implemented in an old TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS process, the Ring-VCO achieves a tuning range of 343.56-974.56 MHz. The phase noise at 1 MHz offset varies from -116.28 to -108.74 dBc/Hz, and the current consumed is 2.27 mA.

In this letter, a high-efficiency 2.45 GHz class-F voltage doubler rectifier is proposed for radio frequency energy harvesting (RFEH). In the proposed topology, two harmonic termination circuits are employed to shape the current waveform to half sine wave and voltage waveform to square wave by yielding short termination at even harmonics and open termination at odd harmonics. Compared with previous class-F voltage doubler rectifiers, the proposed rectifier achieves a higher RF-DC power conversion efficiency (PCE). To validate the proposed approach, a 2.45 GHz voltage doubler rectifier has been designed and implemented. The measurement results show that the peak RF-DC PCE is 76% with a 15.6 dBm input power range. In addition, the measured PCE is higher than 50% over the input power range from 2 to 18 dBm.
