Abstract

In this paper, a compact dual-mode filter structure without coupling gaps is proposed. The novel design is achieved by embedding a pair of equal crossed slots and spur-lines. Without coupling gaps between feed lines and patch resonator, the new filter can provide low insertion loss. It is found that this design has wide coupling range for dual-mode operation. It means that these characteristics of the proposed filter can reduce uncertainty in fabrication. By using two PIN diodes mounted inside a pair of spur-lines, the proposed structure works as a switchable filter. Also, it has a size reduction of about 34.7 %, compared with conventional dual-mode filters.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 공진기에 엇갈린 슬롯과 한 쌍의 spur-line을 삽입한 소형 이중모드(dual-mode)여파기를 제안하였다. 제안한 여파기는 급전선과 공진기 사이에 존재하는 급전 갭(coupling gap)을 없앰으로써 삽입손실의 특성이 향상되었다. 엇갈린 슬롯만 가진 기존의 이중모드 여파기와 비교할 때, 엇갈린 슬롯과 spur-line을 동시에 갖는 이중모드 여파기는 이중모드 특성을 나타내는 섭동의 범위가 상당히 넓기 때문에 이중 모드 여파기의 설계가 용이해졌다. 또한, 제안된 구조의 가장자리에 존재하는 spur-line에 2개의 PIN다이오드를 삽입하여 개폐기 특성을 갖는 여파기로의 응용도 가능하였다. 또한 제안한 구조는 공진기에 삽입된 슬롯과 spur-line에 의해 전기적인 길이가 길어지므로 기존의 구조에 비해 34.7 %의 크기 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
