Abstract

The need for multiband RF front-end in modern communication system is growing rapidly. For example, satellite system always uses a complex arrangement of frequency plans and consequently needs filters for each communication channel and it will be ideal to have a single filter module that does jobs of all those channel filters to reduce the size and payload of the system. In this paper, a new method to transform four-port self-feedback balanced dual-band bandpass filter into two-port is proposed. The two-port balanced dual-band bandpass filter which has baluns at the input and output ports and the fundamental frequency at 2.5 GHz and the first harmonic frequency at 5.7 GHz is fabricated and measured. Good agreement between measured and simulated results was achieved.

현대 통신 시스템에서 다중대역 RF 프론트엔드의 필요성은 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 예를 들면, 위성시스템의 주파수 배치가 복잡하기 때문에, 각 통신 채널에 적합한 많은 필터가 필요하게 된다. 하지만, 시스템의 크기와 탑재체를 줄이기 위하여 전체 채널 필터 기능을 대신할 수 있는 하나의 필터 모듈로 대체하는 것이 이상적이다. 본 논문에서 기존 4단자 평형 이중대역 대역통과 여파기에 발룬을 이용하여 2단자 대역통과 여파기로 변환하는 방법을 제안한다. 입력과 출력에 발룬이 위치하고, 기본 주파수가 2.5 GHz이고, 첫 번째 고조파가 5.7 GHz인 2단자 평형 이중대역 대역통과 여파기를 제작하고 측정하였다. 계산된 결과와 측정된 결과가 잘 일치한다.
