In this paper, the modeling and design of high-Q multilayer passives have been investigated, and multilayer diplexer for GSM/DCS applications has been designed and fabricated using the passives. Modeling of a multilayer inductor was performed by the subsystems of distributed components, and using the modeling the optimal structures of the high-Q multilayer inductor could be designed by analyzing parasitics and couplings which affect their frequency characteristics. Multilayer diplexers for GSM/DCS applications have been designed and fabricated using LTCC technology. LPF for GSM band had the passband insertion loss of less than 0.55 dB, the return loss of more than 12 dB, and the isolation level of more than 26 dB. HPF for DCS band had the passband insertion loss of less than 0.82 dB, the return loss of more than 11 dB, and the isolation level of more than 38 dB.

본 논문에서는 SoP-L(System on Package-Laminates) 기술을 이용하여 이종의 유전율을 가진 유기물 적층 기반의 수동소자를 이용한 GSM/DCS 대역 분리용 diplexer를 설계, 제작하였고 그 특성을 고찰하였다. SoP-L 기술은 LTCC기술과 같은 타 SoP 기술과 비교해서 이종의 물질을 접합하는데 용이하고 공정비용이 저렴하다. 이러한 장점을 이용하여 캐때시터는 유전율 40의 고유전율 재료를 사이에 두고 구성하였고, 인덕터 부문에는 유전율 4률 적용, 정방혈 스파이럴 구조로 두 개 층으로 구성하여 소형화를 이룰 수 있었다. 제작 시에 구리와 유기물을 적층, patterning 하였고, 수직 via hole 을 형성하고 구리의 무전해, 전해 도금 과정을 거쳐 각 소자를 연결하였다. 이러한 과정을 거쳐 제작된 diplexer의 GSM 저역 통과 필터는 0.52 dB이하의 삽입손실과 20 dB 이상의 반사손실을 가지고 DCS 통과 대역 부근에 notch 가 존재하도록 설계함으로써 DCS 통과 대역에서 17 dB 이상의 저지특성을 나타내었다. DCS 고역 통과 필터는 1.2 dB 이하의 삽입손실과 16 dB 이상의 반사손실을 가지며 GSM 통과 대역 부근에 notch를 가지도록 설계하여 GSM 통과대역에서 32 dB 이상의 저지특성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, the bandpass filter for ITS system of 5.8 GHz is proposed by using the dual-mode resonator with the radial stub. As alternating the open stub with the radial stub, the size of the dual mode resonator can be reduced about 39.6% and the out-of-band characteristics of the bandpass filter using dual mode resonator can be enhanced from 19.4 dB to 29.1 dB by using the stub of $6.9{\Omega}$ i.e. realized by parallel two radial stubs with $60^{\circ}$ angle. The fabricated bnadpass filter using the dual mode resonator has the center frequency of 5.72 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 4.1%. Also, the filter has the insertion loss and return loss of 1.79 dB and 19.4 dB, respectively.

In this paper, the extended inverse Chebyshev function have been derived from Chebyshev function. We presented normalized biquads coefficients of n=5, 6 for passband attenuation Ap(dB)=0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and stopband frequency Ws(rad/s)=1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6. A designed low-pass filter from extended inverse Chebyshev transfer function produces the magnitude haracteristic which is maximally flat in the passband and equalripple in the stopband as shown in fig. 3(c), (d). Finally, it showed the magnitude and loss characteristics through realistic circuit simulation, and presented element values.

In general, the earlier methods for the design of MAXFLAT FIR filters have existent problems due to the approximation algorithms used to approach MAXFLAT(maximally flat) response in the passband and the stopband.. The proposed approach advanced by using of MAXSHCUT(maximally sharp cutoff) condition in this paper clearly overcomes these problems. In this approach, we use a key parameter represented with filter-order and cutoff-frequency parameters for obtaining the lowpass filters with the MAXFLAT and MAXSHCUT characteristics in the frequency domain. Consequently, this design technique leads to new MAXFLAT and MAXSHCUT FIR digital filter, which can achieve sharp-cutoff responses with the stopband attenuation exceeding 100 dB almost everywhere.

In this paper, a filter is proposed to compensate droop of the CIC filter for SDR. The proposed compensation filter has almost linear-phase characteristic, requires low operational complexity, and is cost-effective due to its second-order characteristic and lowest operational rate in the baseband.. Especially, it compensates droop in the passband with little performance degradation in the stopband. It is shown, by a design example and its performance analysis, that the proposed compensation method gives performance enhancement in communication systems. It is also shown that the proposed method is superior to conventional ones in view of memory usage and computational load.

In the RFID system using ISM-band, The tag mounted at the object has used the DC power by rectifying the RF signals of the small antenna for operating the micro-controller and memory. The performance of the tag would be reduced because of the second harmonics generated by the nonlinearity of the semiconductor and the spurious signal excited the high order mode of the antenna. This paper has realized the novel type low-pass filter with "the Stub-I type DGS slot structure" to improve the efficiency of the tag by suppressing the harmonics. The optimized frequency character at the pass-band/stop-band has obtained by tuning the stub width and slit width of I type slot. The measured result of the LPF has the cutoff frequency 3.25 GHz, the insertion loss about -0.29~-0.3 dB at pass-band 2.4 GHz~2.5 GHz, the return loss about -27.688~-33.665 dB at pass-band with a good performance, and the suppression character is about -19.367 dB at second harmonics frequency 4.9 GHz. This DGS LPF may be applied the various application as the RFID, WLAN to improve the efficiency of the system by suppressing the harmonics and spurious signals.

In this paper, we designed a highly suppressed sidelobe ladder type RF SAW bandpass filter based on 1-port resonator, for 800 MHz mobile communication system. In order to get the highest device characteristics, we optimized some important parameters such as the electrode thickness, electrode lambda weghting of the reflectors, and static capacitance ratio. Furthermore, we fabricated the Tx and Rx. filter using optimized parameters. Implemented filters can be used in 800 MHz mobile communication system and external impedance matching circuits are not needed. RF filter was fabricated on 36$^{\circ}$LiTaO$_3$ substrates with Al-Cu (W 3 %)and mounted 3.8mm$\times$3.8mm$\times$1.5mm SMD package. Developed filters has 2.3 dB insertion loss in the 25 MHz pass-band, 33MHz with 3-dB insertion loss, stop-band rejection of 30 dB, passband ripple is less than 0.5 The power durability of the filters measured about 3.5W and the maximum temperature variation within -2$0^{\circ}C$~8$0^{\circ}C$ was 0.09 dB/$^{\circ}C$ of 3-dB insertion loss.

A simple iterative design method is presented for the miniaturized dielectric filter with finite transimmission zeros. Circuit-network transformations are used to place transission zeros in the stop band. This method is simple and quick compared with conventional pole-synthesis methods. the design of the coupling EM patternof the filter needs the much computation time because its design is carried out through the field simulatior. In this paper, an efficient implementation technique of coupling circuit parameters is presented. This technique uses a linear mapping function between the circuit parameter domain and EM parameter domain to save the high computational time of EM simulator. A narrow band asymmetric filter with a transmission zero is designed and fiblicated through these technique in 1900 MHz band.
