The BPF designed by the formula based on strip line shows the center frequency shift and distortion in filter response and this becomes more significant with higher frequency. In this paper, the novel design based on EM simulation is proposed. In the design, the filter is decomposed into individual resonators and, for each resonator, the reactance slope and the inverter values are measured and tuned to desired design values for a inverter BPF prototype. The filter composed with such resonators shows the desired filter response without further tuning. This is because possible effects of discontinuities and dispersion are included in the filter parameter extraction. The method can generally apply to all filters that can be transformed into inverter BPF prototype. The procedure is verified by designing a 5th-order SIR filter and quite general to adapt into the design of a parallel coupled line filter, and hair-pin filter.

본 논문에서는 접지면에 어퍼쳐를 갖는 협대역 hairpin-comb 대역 통과 여파기를 제안하였다. Hairpin-comb 공진기는 두 공진기 사이의 간격이 매우 좁더라도 약한 커플링을 유지하는 특성이 있으므로 협대역 대역통과 여파기 제작시 여파기의 전체적인 크기를 작게 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 일반적인 마이크로스트림에서는 공진기 사이가 최소한의 거리가 되더라도 커플링이 너무 미약하여 사용할 수 없다, 그러므로 접지면의 어퍼쳐를 사용하여 약한 커플링을 보상함으로써 일반 마이크로 스트립에서도 협대역을 대역통과 여파기를 제작할 수 있었다. 또한 공진기 사이의 거리변환 없이 어퍼쳐의 크기에 의해서 커플링을 조절함으로써 전체 여파기의 크기를 고정시킨 상태에서 대역폭을 조절할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 중심 주파수가 1.78 ㎓ 이고 대역폭이 62MHz(3.5%)인 여파기를 제작하였다.

In this paper a novel dielectric resonator (DR) bandpass filter (BPF) with flexible arrangement of attenuation poles is proposed. This DR filter is similar to a conventional DR filter except adding a microstrip line below a DR, which not only shifts the location of attenuation poles, but also improves skirt characteristics. The duplexer with the proposed DR BPF has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional DR filter. The implemented duplexer has shown a good performance and been well agreed with the simulation.

본 논문은 낮은 품질계수의 공진기를 사용한 여파기의 통과대역 평탄도를 개선하기 위한 2단 상보 여파기의 설계를 연구하였다. 품질계수로 인해 상보 여파기 평탄도 특성 변화를 고려하여 낮은 품질계수의 공진기를 사용하고, 기존의 여파기 설계공식에 그대로 적용할 수 있는 상보 여파기의 설계변수를 제시하였다. 제시한 설계변수로 상보 여파기를 설계하여 전체적인 통과 대역 평탄도를 1dB 이내로 만들 수 있었다.

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless minimal complexity FIR filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed for narrowband communication systems. Assuming that an FIR filter consists of a cyclotomic polynomial(CP) prefilter and an interpolated second order polynomial(ISOP) equalizer, in the proposed method the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designed using mixed integer linear programming(MILP). The resulting filter is a cascaded filter with minimal complexity. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed methods produce a more computationally efficient cascaded prefilter-equalizer than other existing filters.

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless IIR filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed for narrowband applications. Assuming that an U filter consists of a cyclotomic Polynomial (CP) prefilter and an all-Pole equalizer based on interpolated first order polynomial (IFOP), in the proposed method the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designed using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). The resulting filter is a cascaded filter with minimal complexity. In addition, MtP tries to minimize both computational complexity and phase response non-linearity. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed methods produce a more efficient cascaded prefilter-equalizer than existing methods.

In this paper, we designed a cascaded microstrip lowpass filter using the lowpass filters previously proposed. The previously proposed lowpass filters have a ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using the combined characteristics of slot and microstrip open stub, respectively, and they are catagorized into 2 types by the method that determining their passband characteristics. The first type is determined its passband characteristics by open stub characteristics and the second is by slot characteristics. By cascading these structures with impedance adjustment of each element, the deeper out-of-band rejection and the sharper skirt response were achieved. The fabricated cascaded lowpass filters have -3㏈ cutoff frequencies at 1.035㎓ and 1.286㎓ respectively and -20㏈ stopband is over 20㎓ for both structures.

The resonator using two layer microstrip structure was proposed and the bandpass filter was designed using this resonator in this paper. The proposed resonator structure is constructed by placing a U-shape of resonator in the first layer and then placing a broadside coupling strip in the second layer just above of the U-shape of resonator's edge part. Because these structure has various design parameters than general single layer coupled line structure, filter design is more flexible. In this paper, the narrow band filter was designed using multi-layer structure that had been applied to broadband filter because it's high coupling nature. The filter was designed to have 4MHz center frequency and 3 % fractional bandwidth, and finally confirmed that can be realizable narrow band filter by using multi-layer structure through fabrication and measurement.

LTCC filters have been widely used to wireless terminals. They generally adopt the multilayer structure. Some of multilayer LTCC filters are made of symmetrical parallel-coupled lines and anti-symmetrical parallel-coupled lines to reduce the length of resonators. The equivalent circuit of parallel-coupled lines was analyzed and applied to bandpass filters using multilayer parallel-coupled line resonators. The three-pole bandpass filter with the center frequency of 2.45 GHz is designed by using the proposed equivalent circuit and the measured results have good agreement with the design results.

본 논문에서는 기존의 RF 여파기가 대역 내에서만 정합이 되는 특성을 개선하여 대역 외에서도 50$\Omega$ 정합 특성을 가지는 여파기 설계 기술을 제안하였다. 대역 외에서 정합 시켜 주는 방법으로 결합기와 대역 통과 여파기로 구성된 Balance Type과 결합기와 대역 저지 여파기로 대역 통과 여파기 특성을 가지는 Reflection Type을 제시하여 그 특성을 확인하였다. 각각의 형태는 광대역 90도 3-㏈ 결합기를 사용한 것으로 결합기의 대역폭과 진폭 및 위상 오차에 따라 저지 대역에서의 정합 특성이 좌우되며, 이에 광대역의 3-㏈ 결합기를 설계 및 적용하여 광대역의 반사 손실 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 제작 결과 Balance type의 경우 1.2 GHz~2.6GHz까지 대역 내에서 -10㏈에서 -15 ㏈의 반사 손실 특성을 가지고 대역 저지 특성이 우수하며, Reflection type은 DC에서 3.3GHz까지 반사손실이 -15 ㏈ 내외로 광대역 정합 특성을 가진다. 특히, 저주파 반사 특성이 우수하여 저주파 발진 가능성이 큰 회로 설계에 유용하다.
