Novel design equations are proposed for the 3-dB microstrip branch-line coupler with a wide passband, utilizing multisectional branch lines. In addition, the proposed method makes it possible to reduce the internal impedance levels of branch-line couplers so they may be physically constructed by microstrip lines. Further, in terms of measured results, there is a wide bandwidth >70%. Synthesis of...
A novel compact coupled planar resonator (CCPR) based VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) using mode-coupling technique was developed in response to expensive high Ceramic and SAW resonators based signal source for wireless communications. One of the problems related to the conventional Ceramic/SAW based resonators (with high Q and low phase noise) is the challenge for integration in IC form. Instead...
Microstrip Antennas (MSAs) consist of a metallic radiating patch on one side of thin dielectric substrate and other side is ground plane. Most important advantages of MSAs are low profile, light weight and compatibility with integrated circuit technology. MSAs are used in mobile communication, satellite communication, radar, direct broadcasting, global positioning systems and remote sensing. The major...
The major limitations of microstrip antennas (MSAs) are their narrow impedance bandwidth, small gain and low power handling capability. A half U-slot MSA with shorting wall has been designed and experimentally verified. Its center frequency is observed at 2.66 GHz. The bandwidth is 688 MHz and percentage bandwidth is 25.6% has been obtained while radiation efficiency is above 94% for the operating...
A high intercept points, cost-effective, and power-efficient switching FET double balanced mixer (DBM) is reported. The Switching FET DBM demonstrated in this work offers input intercept points (IIP3) and conversion loss typically 44 dBm and 8.5 dB respectively with 15 dBm LO power for the frequency band (RF: 900-2150 MHz, LO: 850-1950 MHz, IF: 50-200 MHz). The measured interport isolation is typically...
