Our approach is based on a novel symmetric hybrid-based topology. The general method to design this kind of shaping network is described. It demonstrates that by properly tuning the dimension of the hybrid topology one may compensate the unbalanced effects exhibited by a conventional T-junction shaping network topology. Microstrip technology is used to implement two pulse shaping networks. Measurement results show good agreement with simulation.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":"137 1","pages":"1339-1342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86009751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This novel configuration makes use of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity as a resonator in the feedback loop to stabilize the fundamental oscillating frequency. This allows the possibility of building a complete planar receiver, with improved phase noise, as an integrated front-end for millimeter wave systems such as radar and wireless sensor network. It is also an attractive structure for MMIC design. A convenient method free from FET amplifier design is proposed in the work for this kind of self-oscillating mixer, which can also be applied in SIW oscillator design. The circuit, implemented as a down-converter, exhibits an average conversion loss of 8.6dB, and an IF phase noise of -86dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset. The effects of DC variation on the oscillating frequency and the output P/sub 1dB/ gain compression are measured and demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":"46 1","pages":"4 pp.-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77121439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method is proposed to excite electric and magnetic surface current densities within an inhomogeneous filled cavity using the TLM method to determine the Green's functions in terms of impedance and admittance functions. It is shown how to deduce equivalent circuits for these impedance and admittance functions, which can be used in commercial circuit simulators.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":"57 1","pages":"1103-1106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77827656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
