Abstract

In this paper, 2.4 GHz WLAN BPF(Band Pass Filter) using LTCC(Low temperature cofiring ceramic) multilayer technology was simulated and manufactured. A modified ${\lambda}/4$ Hair-pin resonator with shunt-to ground loaded capacitor is used to shorten resonator length and improve circuit Q factor. Proposed BPF has a combline structure. Electro-magnetic Coupling between coupled strip-line resonators is controlled to provide attenuation poles at finite frequencies. The overall size of the filter is $3.2{\times}1.6{\times}1.3mm^3$. The measured result shows good agreement with simulated data.
