2.45GHz 대역 LTCC Balun-BPF의 설계

A Design of LTCC Balun-BPF for 2.45GHz Band

This paper presents a LTCC Balun-BPF, which is a BPF(band pass filter) with a Balun in a single LTCC chip for the direct interface with a MMIC chip having balanced inputs. The physical dimension of the designed Balun-BPF is $2.4{\times}2.0{\times}0.88mm^3$ and the used dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$ is 36. A Balun of three-lines structure with striplines and a BPF of comb-line structure was combined into the Balun-BPF. The simulated result shows 4.8㏈ of insertion loss, 178~179 degree of the phase imbalance, 14㏈ of the return.
