Abstract

In this paper, the performance of Au / $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BST) / Magnesium oxide (MgO) two-layered electrically tunable band-pass Filters (BPFs) is demonstrated. The devices consist of microstrip, coplanar waveguide (CPW), and conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CBCPW) structures. These BST thin film band-pass filters have been designed by the 2.5 D field simulator, IE3D, Zeland Inc., and fabricated by thin film process. The simulation results, using the 2-pole microstrip, CPW, and CBCPW band-pass filters, show the center frequencies of 5.89 GHz, 5.88 GHz, and 5.69 GHz, and the corresponding insertion losses are 2.67 dB, 1.14 dB, and 1.60 dB, with 3 %, 9 %, and 7 % bandwidth, respectively. The measurement results show the center frequencies of 6.4 GHz, 6.14 GHz, and 6.04 GHz, and their corresponding insertion losses are 6 dB, 4.41 dB, and 5.41 dB, respectively, without any bias voltage. With the bias voltage of 40 V, the center frequencies for the band-pass filters are measured to be 6.61 GHz, 6.31 GHz, and 6.21 GHz, and their insertion losses are observed to be 7.33 dB, 5.83 dB, and 6.83 dB, respectively. From the experiment, the tuning range for the band-pass filters are determined as about 3 % ~ 8 %.

본 논문은 $Ba_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$(BST) 박막을 이용한 대역 통과 여파기를 설계, 제작한 것으로 마이크로스트립 과 코플래너 웨이브가이드(CPW), CBCPW 전송 선로 구조에서 각 구조의 여파기 특성을 비교하였다. 제작된 여파기는 전압 0V 인가시 각각 6.4 GHz, 6.14 GHz, 6.04 GHz의 중심 주파수와 6 dB, 4.41 dB, 5.41 dB의 삽입 손실이 측정되었으며, 40V 인가시 중심 주파수 6.61 GHz, 6.31 GHz, 6.21 GHz와 삽입 손실 7.33 dB, 5.83 dB, 6.83 dB로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제작된 각각의 대역 통과 야파기는 가변 범위가 약 3 % - 8 %이며, 무선랜 대역에 응용할 수 있도록 설계 및 제작되었다.다.
