Abstract:
novel design of at internal PIFA integrated with an
RF-shielding metal case for application in a clamshell or fielder-tvpe
mobile phone is presented. The integrated PIFA has a bent and tapered
radiating arm in order to easily fit in the casing of the clamshell mobile
phone as an internal antenna. The integrated PlEA can also provide a
wide operating bandwidth fir UM7S (1920-2170 MHz) operation. In
addition, for the clamshell mobile phone in either the talk or standby
condition, only a small effect on the operating bandwidth of the integrated
PIFA is obtained. The experimental results of the proposed design are presented

Abstract:
patch resonator with a via connecting ground plane is
proposed and studied experimentally. The resonant frequency of this
patch resonator is tunable up to about 34 % by adjusting the via position

A microwave dielectric ceramic resonator based on BaCe2Ti5O15 and Ba5Nb4O15 have been prepared by conventional solid state ceramic route. The dielectric resonators (DRs) have high dielectric constant 32 and 40 for BaCe2Ti5O15 and Ba5Nb4O15, respectively. The whispering gallery mode (WGM) technique was employed for the accurate determination of the dielectric properties in the microwave frequency range. The BaCe2Ti5O15 and Ba5Nb4O15 have quality factors (Q X F) of 30,600 and 53,000 respectively. The quality factor is found to depend on the azimuthal mode numbers. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (Tr) of BaCe2Ti5O15 and Ba5Nb4O15 have been measured accurately using different
resonant modes and are + 41 and + 78 ppm/K, respectively
The microwave dielectric properties of (I -x)CaTiO3-xSm(Mg1/2Tit,2)O3(0.1 <-x< 1.0) have been investigated. The
system forms a solid solution throughout the entire compositional range. The dielectric constant decreases from 86 to 25 as x
varies from 0.1 to 1.0. The Qxf varies non-linearly and increases for composition with x> 0.6. The nonmonotonic variation
with composition x is more pronounced in Tt than in er. The microwave dielectric properties indicate the possibility of a phase
transformation for x between 0.4 and 0.5
microwave dielectric properties of ceramics based on Ba(Mgv3Ta(2-2x)t3W,t3Tixt3)O3 is investigated as a function of x. The

17 reasonably good (Qu x f = 80,000-90,000 GHz). The Ba(Mg1,3Ta(2_,013W,13Ti,,13)03 with x = 1.0 has e, = 15.4, rf= -25.1 ppm/

Abstract:
Single-phase polycrystalline ceramics in the MO-La2O3-Ti02 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba)
system, such as cation-deficient hexagonal perovskites CaLa4Ti4O15, SrLa4Ti4O15,
BaLa4Ti4O15, and Ca2La4Ti5O18 and the orthorhombic phases CaLa4Ti5O17 and
CaLa8Ti9O31, were prepared through the solid-state ceramic route. The phases
and structure of the ceramics were analyzed through x-ray diffraction and scanning
electron microscopy. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied
using a network analyzer. The investigated ceramics show high Er in the range 42 to
54, high quality factors with Q x f in the range 16,222 to 50,215 GHz, and low Tf in
the range -25 to +6 ppm3/°C. These high dielectric constant materials with high Q x f
up to 50,215 GHz are suitable for applications where narrow bandwidth and extremely
low insertion loss is necessary, especially at frequencies around 1.9 GHz
Microwave dielectric ceramics based on RETiTaO6 (RE = La, Cc, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu,
Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Yb, Al, and In) were prepared using a conventional solid-state
ceramic route. The structure and microstructure of the samples were analyzed using
x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The sintered samples
were characterized in the microwave frequency region. The ceramics based on Ce, Pr,
Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy, which crystallize in orthorhombic aeschynite structure,
had a relatively high dielectric constant and positive T f while those based on Ho, Er,
and Yb, with orthorhombic euxenite structure, had a low dielectric constant and
negative Tf. The RETiTaO6 ceramics had a high-quality factor. The dielectric constant
and unit cell volume of the ceramics increased with an increase in ionic radius of the
rare-earth ions, but density decreased with it. The value of Tf increased with an
increase in RE ionic radii, and a change in the sign of Tf occurred when the ionic
radius was between 0.90 and 0.92 A. The results indicated that the boundary of the
aeschynite to euxenite morphotropic phase change lay between DyTiTaO6 and
HoTiTaO6. Low-loss ceramics like ErTiTaO6 (Er = 20.6, Qxf = 85,500), EuTiTaO6
(Er = 41.3, Qxf = 59,500), and YTiTaO6 (Er = 22.1, Q„xf = 51,400) are potential
candidates for dielectric resonator applications

Abstract:
A new microstrip antenna geometry with considerable reduction
in size, with similar radiation characteristics to those of an
equivalent rectangular patch antenna is proposed. A relationship
has been suggested for fmding out the resonant frequency of the
new geometry, and its validity has been established by the
experimental results. Without increasing the aperture area, this
geometry also offers a facility for considerably reducing the
resonant frequency compared to conventional patches.
New dielectric ceramics with formula BaTi3Nb4, O„ and Ba6Til4Nbz039 have been prepared and characterized. BaTi3Nba017 was densified to 92% of TD after firing at 1310 oC for 4 h. However, Ba6Ti 1 4Nb2O39 fired under optimized conditions (1260 ` C for 4 h) showed only 85% TD together with secondary phase. The crystal system of both of the compositions is orthorhombic
