In this study, we investigate measurement of the magnetic permeability in a ferrite core at RF frequencies when bias current is superimposed on an RF signal with a view to adaptively controlling performance of RF transformers using ferrite cores. A measurement arrangement used comprises a short microstrip line (MSL) circuit including a coaxial conductor (CC) structure consisting of an electrica...

A planar millimeter-wave third-harmonic mixer with low conversion loss is proposed. The mixing circuit consists of a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) balun, a pair of diodes, a diplexer and microstrip matching circuit. The mixer is ideal for use as down-converter and up-converter. For a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) of 2 GHz, the mixer has an up-conversion loss of 14.5-15.6 dB and a dow...

Abstract—Design of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) filter over 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz using broad side coupled and spur lines in microstrip medium suitable for UWB communications has been presented in this paper. Parameters of broad side coupled lines have been appropriately chosen to achieve ultra wide band response. Spur lines have been incorporated at the input and output feed lines of the filter to imp...

A novel planar dual-band microstrip power divider is proposed in this paper. The circuit is composed of two sections of transmission line, short-circuited stub line and planar resistor, which can provide high isolation and good amplitude balance simultaneously at two frequencies. The closed-form equations are derived, and the design procedures of dual-band power divider are given. To certify th...

In this era of the Internet of Things, we designed a rectenna working at 5.8 GHz in order to solve the finite things about battery-powered wireless sensor. First, an E-shape embedded microstrip feed antenna by HFSS software has been designed, then a technique called “offset correction” to balance the deviation between theory and simulation was proposed. It effectively spanned the gap between si...

The model of Antenna uses the capacitive feed strip which is fed by coaxial probe using equivalent circuit approach. The proposed antenna has the impedance bandwidth of 58% in the frequency range 3.9GHz to 7.14GHz which shows wideband characteristics. Gain is almost constant in the entire b...

In this paper, a matching circuit for RF diplexer for mobile communication is proposed. Most wanted bands in wireless technologies like GSM and DCS is used. Both bands are designed by using stepped impedance resonators with single order and matching between this two are implemented by Yjunction method. Cutoff frequency for GSM and DCS band are 925 MHz and 1795 MHz. Microstrip Technology is prop...

In this paper, different configurations of transmission lines loaded with stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) are reviewed. This includes microstrip lines loaded with pairs of SIRs, and coplanar waveguides (CPW) loaded with multi-section SIRs. Due to the high electric coupling between the line and the resonant elements, the structures are electrically small, i.e., dimensions are small as compar...

Rectifier system for better RF to DC conversion is designed using a bridge rectifier. The proposed rectifier system provides a maximum efficiency of 50%. The impedance matching network improves the overall system performances sign...
