Design of MMIC oscillators using GaAs 0.2 μm PHEMT technology

We propose a feedback type oscillator and two negative resistance oscillators.These microwave oscillators have been designed in the S band frequency.A relatively symmetric resonator is used in the feedback type oscillator.The first negative resistance oscillator uses a simple lumped element resonator which is substituted by a microstrip resonator in the second oscillator to improve results.The negative resistance oscillator produces 4.207 dBm and 7.124 dBm output power with the lumped element resonator and microstrip resonator respectively,and the feedback type oscillator produces ?10.707 dBm output power.The feedback type oscillator operates at 3 GHz with phase noise levels at-83.30 dBc/Hz and-103.3 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset frequencies respectively.The phase noise levels of the negative resistance oscillator with the lumped element resonator are-94.64 dBc/Hz and-116 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset frequencies respectively,at an oscillation frequency of 3.053 GHz.With the microstrip resonator the phase noise levels are-99.49 dBc/Hz and-119.641 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset frequencies respectively,at an oscillation frequency of 3.072 GHz.The results showed that both the output power and the phase noise of the negative resistance oscillators were better than those of the feedback type oscillator.     

A piezoelectric transducer‐tuned microstrip‐ring resonator oscillator operating at the second resonant mode of the ring resonator

A microstrip open‐loop resonator oscillator operating at even modes is proposed. The even mode of the ring circuit can be predicted by using a simple transmission‐line model. The new oscillator has a characteristic similar to that of a push‐push oscillator. In addition, in comparison with the push‐push oscillator, the new oscillator with one active device can minimize the size and lower the cost. A voltage‐controlled piezoelectric transducer (PET) is used to vary the resonant frequencies of the ring resonator, which in turn tunes the oscillator with a good tuning range of 4.9% at around 12.1 GHz. This tuned oscillator should have many applications in wireless systems. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2005.     

A balanced dual‐band bandpass filter with a wide stopband and controllable differential‐mode frequencies and fractional bandwidths

In this article, a balanced microstrip dual‐band bandpass filter (BPF) is designed. The proposed filter is achieved by employing a microstrip U‐shape half‐wavelength resonator, a folded stub‐loaded resonator and balanced microstrip/slotline transition structures. The center frequencies and the fractional bandwidths of the two differential‐mode (DM) passbands can be controlled independently by changing the physical lengths of the two resonators and the gaps between each resonator, respectively. The balanced microstrip/slotline transition structures can achieve a wideband common‐mode (CM) suppression. Meanwhile, the DM passbands are independent from the CM responses, which significantly simplify the design procedure. In addition, a wide DM stopband is also realized. In order to validate the design strategies, a balanced dual‐band BPF centered at 2.57 and 3.41 GHz was fabricated and a good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.     

Hilbert‐shaped complementary ring resonator and application to enhanced‐performance low pass filter with high selectivity

In this article, a novel single negative metamaterial (MTM) transmission line (TL) consisting of a Hilbert‐shaped complementary ring resonator (H‐CRR) on the ground plane is initially presented and studied in depth. Then based on the proposed MTM TL, a novel six‐section Hi‐Lo microstrip low‐pass filter (LPF) with a cut‐off frequency 2.5 GHz is developed, fabricated, and measured. Measurement results indicate that: by integrating H‐CRR, the selectivity has been significantly improved which is 77.3 dB/GHz due to the single negative permittivity; by etching a crown square on low‐impedance section, the bandwidth characterized by 20 dB return loss was obviously enhanced by 26.2% and the maximal sidelobe level of in‐band return loss was reduced from 22 to 24.6 dB. What' more, the developed LPF achieved a 36.3% size reduction with respect to its conventional counterpart. The design concept, which was confirmed by the measurement data, is of practical value and can be popularized in other microwave devices where high selectivity is requested. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design of high selectivity tri‐band bandpass filter with wide upper stopband

This article presents a dual‐plane structure high selectivity tri‐band bandpass filter (BPF) which consists of a pair of T‐shaped microstrip feed lines with capacitive source‐load coupling as well as spur lines embedded, and three resonators, i.e., a dual‐mode stub‐loaded stepped impedance resonator and two nested dual‐mode defected ground structure resonators. Using the intrinsic characteristics of the resonators and feed lines, nine transmission zeros near the passband edges and in the stopband can be generated to achieve high selectivity. An experimental tri‐band BPF located at 2.4/5.7 GHz [wireless local area networks (WLAN) application] and 3.5 GHz [worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) application] has been simulated and fabricated. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results validates the design approach. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2013.     

Design of wideband slot‐coupled microstrip vertical transition

A wideband slot‐coupled microstrip‐to‐microstrip vertical transition is presented in this paper. The transition consists of upper/lower microstrip patch, a metallized via, a wide slot, and a CPW patch on the ground plane. The CPW patch is connected to the upper microstrip patch through the metallized via. The upper microstrip patch, the CPW patch, and the metallized via together constitute a hybrid resonator. By introducing the fundamental resonance of the hybrid resonator into the passband, a broadband microstrip vertical transition can be realized. A sample transition has been designed and measured. Experimental results indicate that a broad frequency range of 2.3 to 8.4 GHz with return loss better than 10 dB can be obtained.     

Design,analysis, and measurement of a new dual‐band compact hybrid resonator antenna

A new dual‐band compact hybrid resonator antenna is proposed in this article. The analysis is based on electric‐field and magnetic‐field integral equations. In the proposed design, the structure uses a combination of a thin circular disk dielectric resonator (DR) and a microstrip‐fed dog‐bone slot. This dog‐bone slot works as a half‐wavelength radiator and as a feed circuit for the DR. By optimizing the structure's parameters, the hybrid structure allows not only the DR to resonate at one frequency band but also the dog‐bone slot to resonate at the other one with the required frequency separation. Based on the above design concept, an antenna prototype for wireless communication applications centered at 1.9 and 2.45 GHz is successfully designed, fabricated, and tested. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hybrid wideband dual‐cylindrical circularly polarized dielectric resonator antennas excited with S‐shaped microstrip feed for sub‐6 GHz frequency range

In this article, a hybrid microstrip fed dual‐cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (dual‐CDRA) has been proposed for the sub‐6 GHz band application with a wide circular polarization band. The proposed hybrid microstrip feed cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna utilizes an S‐shaped microstrip feed line to excite fundamental HE_11δ like mode and hybrid mode in dual‐CDRAs. The presented antenna structures are acting as monopole antenna separately with 48.75% (3.88‐6.38 GHz) bandwidth whereas both radiators called dual‐CDRAs enhances the bandwidth up to 93.06% (2.16‐5.92 GHz) in addition with an axial ratio bandwidth of 15.2% (3.52‐4.1 GHz). The proposed antenna is applicable for WiMAX (3.4‐3.69 GHz), and WLAN application of 802.11d and 8.02.11e IEEE standard. For validation of simulated results, an antenna prototype has been fabricated and experimentally verified. A good agreement between simulation and measured results are obtained. The simulation results have been carried out by using Ansys HFSS 14.0 version software.
