Abstract

In this paper, for improving the performance of selecting and the sensitivity of the L-Band microwave radiometer for remote sensing of soil-moisture, the harmonic-suppressed hairpin bandpass filter is described. As the harmonic frequencies of the SIR can be controlled by the ratio of the impedance and electrical length, SIRs are used in the hairpin BPF for suppressing harmonics. Manufactured harmonic-suppressed hairpin BPF has the SIRs of three types and its harmonic is suppressed under 35 [dB] until 5 times of the center frequency of 1390 [MHz].

본 논문은 토양 수분 함유량 검출을 위한 L-band 마이크로파 라디오미터의 주파수 선택 및 우수한 수신감도를 위한 하모닉 억압의 헤어핀 필터에 관한 것이다. 전형적인 반파장 공진기가 공진주파수의 배수에서 하모닉을 가지는 것에 비해, 각 부분의 임피던스 비와 전기적 길이 비로써 하모닉 주파수를 조절할 수 있는 SIR을 이용하여 하모닉 억압 특성을 구현하였다. 필터의 하모닉을 효율적으로 억압하기 위해 5단의 헤어핀 필터에는 서로 다른 임피던스 비를 갖는 3종류의 SIR이 사용되었고, 제작된 필터는 1390 [MHz]의 중심주파수의 5배 주파수까지 35 [dB] 아래로 하모닉을 억압하는 특성을 가진다.
