In this paper, miniaturization of an elliptic-response open-loop resonator filter and design flexibility using similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. Moreover, the filter with wider fractional bandwidth is designed by the proposed method. In order to verify the proposed method, three 4th-order elliptic-response open-loop resonator filters with a relative bandwidth of 4 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz are designed. One is realized with constant-width microstrip line resonator and the others are implemented with different-width microstrip line resonator. Compared with the former one, the latter have shown the size reduction of 13 % and 25 %, respectively. Since it may not be possible to implement the resonators with very narrow spacing for the required coupling coefficient filters with two different configurations representing same response characteristic through similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. From this design flexibility, a filter with a relative bandwidth of 8 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz is designed with realizable design parameters.

Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) has adopted a new rule that can provide a 1,200 MHz unlicensed spectrum to maximize the public benefits in the 5.925 ~ 7.125 GHz(6 GHz) band by expanding unlicensed broadband into the 6 GHz band while also ensuring that licensed services that operate in the band continue to thrive. In Korea, the M/W band of 6 GHz has been reallocated to introduce unlicensed services in the 6 GHz band. Considering the national interests, the entire 1,200 MHz will be supplied for the indoor uses, but only the 500 MHz of the lower bandwidth (5925 ~ 6425 MHz) will for the outdoor uses under the limited power to protect the incumbent services. The introduction of unlicensed devices is being actively promoted through the reallocation of the 6 GHz M/W band, but since it is desperately necessary to prepare technical requirements to operate them in Korea. In this paper, the US 6 GHz unlicensed rules has been analyzed, these results will be utilized for establishing Korean technical standards with the unlicensed spectrum expansion.

고주파 마그네트론 스펏터링법을 이용하여 ZnO막을 제조하고 유리기판 위에 ZnO-SAW필터를 제작하였다. ZnO막의 제조 조건은 고주파 전력 150W, 기판온도 $200^{\circ}C$, 분위기압 5mTorr 및 O2/(Ar+O2)비 50%였다. 한편 IDT(Inter-digital transducer)전극은 전극 폭을 2.56mm, 전극 거리를 2,936mm, λ/8폭을 $8mu$m로 설계하였다. 제작된 ZnO-SAW필터의 주파수 응답을 측정하기 위해 소자는 mount(TO8)에 고정시켰다. ZnO SAW필터의 통과 대역(3 dB대역폭)은 345.2~44.8 MHz로 9.6MHz의 대역 폭을 나타내었으며 중심주 파수는 40 MHz를 나타내었다. 또한 삽입 손실은 39 dB, 통과 대역에서의 리플(ripple)은 $\pm$ 0.8 dB 및 rejection은 17 dB를 나타내었다.

The cymbal transducer is a miniaturized version of the Class V flextensional transducer. It has low resonant frequency and high output pressure characteristics compared with its size. However, since it has high quality factor and low energy conversion efficiency as well, it is often used as an array rather than single. When used as an array, a big change in the frequency characteristics occurs in comparison with that of the single transducer due to the interaction between constituent transducers. In this study, we designed a pattern of cymbal array with a view to having broadband characteristics. Three transducers having different center frequencies were designed first. The designed cymbal transducers were used to construct all possible patterns of a 3 × 3 planar array. After analyzing frequency characteristics of these patterns, based on the results, we derived the most effective pattern to achieve a higher fractional bandwidth. The derived array pattern showed an improvement of the fractional bandwidth by 24.9 % in comparison with the reference model.

일반적으로 초음파현미경에서 획득한 초음파 영상은 단일 동작주파수를 사용하여 획득하였으며, 분해능은 동작주파수와 초음파변환기에 의해 결정되는 공간주파수 대역에 의하여 제한되어 졌다. 본 연구에서는 초음파현미경에서 동작주파수를 변화시키면서 획득한 영상들을 합성하여 공간주파수의 축 방향 대역을 확장시킨 개선된 고체 내부의 진폭영상을 얻는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 실험에서는 동작주파수가 5MHz이고 비대역폭이 $35\%$인 초음파변환기를 사용하여 초음파현미경 시스템을 구성하였고, 이러한 처리를 위해서는 진폭과 위상영상 데이터가 필요하기 때문에 진폭과 위상을 동시에 획득할 수 있도록 검출기로서 쿼드러춰 검출기를 사용하였다. 시편으로는 알루미늄을 선택하였고, 시료의 표면으로부터 깊이를 다르게 하여 내부에 4개의 원형결함을 제작하였다. 실험결과 단일 주파수를 사용한 경우에는 결함의 형태는 나타났으나, 고체 내부 결함의 깊이와 영상 강도의 변화가 비례하여 나타나지 않는 반면에, 개선된 영상에서는 깊이 변화에 대해서 영상 강도의 변화가 비례하여 출력되었다.

It was shown that the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna is wider than many of the conventional feeding structures. In this paper, we proposed a new method of enhancing the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna with a shunt open stub, and analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method. We have computed waves and electric field distribution in the time domain, and VSWR, input impedance and radiation pattern in the frequency domaim by Fourier transforming the time domain results. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna depend on the position(L$_1$) and length(L$_2$) of a shunt open stub. When these parameters are L$_1$=30 mm and L$_2$=33mm, we obtained the maximum bandwidth at the center frequency of 2.3 GHz. From the computed results, the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. The fractional bandwidth of this antenna was 53.9 %. The measured results were in relatively good accordance with computed values.

In this paper, 2D array transducers using a conductive backer similar to 1-3 composites have been designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The conductive backer was based on well known manufacturing process of 1-3 composites with affordable ingredients. The 2D array transducer had 4,096 elements designed to have 3.5 MHz center frequency and a fractional bandwidth over 60 %. Fabricated prototype of the transducer satisfied the specifications in the center frequency and bandwidth. Performance over the entire elements was so uniform that the standard deviation was less than 0.81 dB. Thus applicability of the conductive backer proposed in this work to 2D array transducers was verified.

T-모양의 급전구조를 갖는 마이크로스트립 슬롯 안테나는 정합을 쉽게 이룰 수 있고, 대역 폭이 기존의 슬롯을 가로지르는 급전구조에 비하여 넓었다. 본 논문에서는 역 L-형 마이크로스트립 급전구조를 제안하여 FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain)법으로 해석하여 안테나를 최적화 설계하였다. 슬롯 폭이 16 mm일 때, 전압 정재파비가 2.0 이하인 조건에서 대역폭은 2.3 GHz를 중심으로 약 48 % 정도의 광대역 특성을 얻었다. 제안된 급전구조는 기존의 슬롯 가로지르는 급전구조의 복사 저항보다 매우 낮았다. 또한 역 L-형 급전구조의 대역폭 특성을 기존의 급전구조의 슬롯릇 안테나들과 비교하였다.

In this paper, the novel method is proposed to realize the parallel coupled line band pass filter using defected ground structure(DGS) inverter. This method provides simple solution which easily resolves the limit of line width happened due to high impedance on the occasion of designing filter composed of line inverter. On the basis of the proposed method and conventional method, the band pass filters haying 13.3% fractional bandwidth were designed and implemented. The measured data of two filters show usually good agreement with each other, but on the other hand the length of proposed filter become shorten about 15mm and the width of inverter line was expanded two times or more in comparison with conventional filter.
