“…The advantage of the method of finite coupled elementary lines or FCEL [3,4] formulated originally by means of voltage wave matrices is its capability to analyze an arbitrary shaped patch antennas. Another possible representation is based on currents and voltages of the four port network, and it uses the ABCD matrix which is well suited to the infinitesimal two port networks approach.…”

“…One frequently used cross-coupled QVCO uses four coupling transistors either in parallel to [1] or in series with the resonator [2]. Recently, the injection-locked techniques have been used as a coupling mechanism for implementing QVCOs [3][4][5].…”

“…The differential VCO is used as an injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD), where the bodies of the cross-coupled transistors are used as the injection ports. The present QVCO requires no extra coupling network as other existing QVCOs [1][2][3][4][5], the power and die area can be saved. The proposed QVCO circuit was implemented in the TSMC 0.18 m CMOS technology and operated in the 5.44 GHz band.…”

occurred, and the surface currents on the microstrip line is stopped by the tuning stub which leads to a notched band at 5-6 GHz. As f ϭ 9 GHz, the surface current on the microstrip feeder can avoid the tuning stub, as shown in Figure 6(c). Moreover, the proposed band-notch microstrip design has no effect on the current distribution of the rectangular monopole. RESULTSThe simulated and measured VSWR curves of proposed antenna are shown in Figure 7. It is noted that the simulated impedance bandwidth for VSWR Յ 2 is from 2.7 to 11.5 GHz with a notched band ranging from 5.1 to 5.9 GHz, whereas the measured impedance bandwidth is from 2.9 to 11.6 GHz with a notched band of 5.0 -5.9 GHz, which covers the desired 3.1-10.6 GHz and avoids WLAN/HIPERLAN/2 interference. The measured radiation patterns at the operating frequencies of 3.2, 7.5, and 10.5 GHz are shown in Figure 8. The H-plane radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are omni-directional. These results meet the characteristic of UWB systems, which may receive information signals from all directions. Figure 9 shows the measured gains of the proposed antenna. A sharp decrease of maximum antenna gain in the notched frequency band at 5.5 GHz is observed. CONCLUSIONSA novel band-notch rectangular monopole antenna has been investigated in this article, which presents a band-notch performance in the WLAN band by embedding a tuning stub in the microstrip feeder. The effect of the tuning stub and the current distribution on the monopole is also investigated. The measured impedance bandwidth is sufficient to cover the requirement of UWB band and a notched band to avoid the WLAN/HIPERLAN/2 systems interference. The proposed antenna provides a good omni-directional radiation with a compact size. With these features, this antenna is attractive for the UWB communication applications. ABSTRACT: The method of finite coupled elementary lines (FCEL) is used in the analysis of a microstrip disk antenna with a larger parasitic director. A closed form expression of the effective radius forthe used structure is proposed. The obtained numerical results are compared with published measurements and good agreement is noticed. ABSTRACT: This article presents a CMOS quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO). The LC-tank QVCO consists of two crosscoupled nMOS divide-by-2 injection-locked frequency divider (ILFDs) with a tail transistor, which serves the role of frequency doubler. The output of the tail transistor in one ILFD is injected to the bodies of the nMOSFETs in the other ILFD. The proposed CMOS QVCO has been implemented with the TSMC 0.18 m CMOS technology and the die area is 0.595 ϫ 0.896 mm 2 . At the supply voltage of 0.6 V, the total power consumption is 2.4 mW. The free-running frequency of QVCO is tunable from 5.44 to 5.8 GHz as the tuning voltage is varied from 0.0 to 0.6 V. The measured phase noise at 1 MHz frequency offset is Ϫ115.62 dBc/Hz at the oscillation frequency of 5.44 GHz and the figure of merit (FOM) of the proposed QVCO is Ϫ186.6 dBc/Hz.

We describe a new model that yields the transverse component of the conduction current as well as the radiation pattern of the cross‐polar component of a multilayered radiating structure. The structure is com‐posed of a microstrip patch antenna with an arbitrary shape, associated with a director having the same shape and the same axes of symmetry. Losses, dispersion, strip thickness and roughness, and edge diffraction are taken into account. Calculated results agree very well with experimental results previously obtained for a circular shape. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
