Abstract

This paper proposes a novel concept for a microstrip resonator that can function as a filter and as an antenna at the same time. The proposed structure consists of an outer ring, an open loop-type inner ring, a circular patch, and three ports. The frequencies where the proposed structure works as a filter and as an antenna, respectively, are determined primarily by the radius of the inner ring and the circular patch. The measured results show that, when the microstrip resonator operates as a filtering device, this filter has about 15.1 % bandwidth at the center frequency of 0.63 GHz and a minimum insertion loss of 1.5 dB within passband. There are three transmission zeros at 0.52 GHz, 1.14 GHz, and 2.22 GHz. In the upper stopband, cross coupling - taking place at the stub of the outer ring - and the open loop-type inner ring produce one transmission zero each. The circular patch generates the dual-mode property of the filter and another transmission zero, whose location can be easily adjusted by altering the size of the circular patch. The proposed structure works as an antenna at 2.7 GHz, showing a gain of 3.8 dBi. Compared to a conventional patch antenna, the proposed structure has a similar antenna gain. At the resonant frequencies of the filter and the antenna, high isolation(less than -25 dB) between the filter port and the antenna port can be obtained.

본 논문에서는 여파기와 안테나 기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 마이크로스트립 공진기를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 구조는 바깥쪽 링, 안쪽 링, 원형 패치, 그리고 3개의 포트로 이루어져 있다. 제안하는 구조가 여파기와 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 각각 주로 안쪽 링과 원형 패치의 반지름에 의해 결정된다. 측정 결과를 통해 마이크로스트립 공진기가 여파기로 동작할 경우 공진 주파수는 0.69 GHz에서 3 dB 대역폭 15.1 %에 삽입 손실이 -1.4 dB의 특성을 보였다. 이 때, 통과 대역 아래 부분에 전달 영점은 0.52 GHz에, 윗부분의 전달 영점은 1.14 GHz와 2.22 GHz에 위치하였다. 위쪽 저지 대역에서 바깥쪽 링의 스터브에 의한 교차 결합(cross coupling)과 안쪽 링에 의해 각각 1개의 전달 영점이 형성된다. 원형 패치는 이중 모드(dual-mode) 특성을 형성하며, 또 다른 전달 영점을 유도한다. 제안한 구조가 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 2.7 GHz이고, 이득은 3.8 dBi 였다. 여파기와 안테나의 공진 주파수에서 격리도 특성(isolation)이 각각 -25 dB 이하의 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.
