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.

In this paper, the low pass filter with harmonics suppression and rejection using parallel coupled-line and radial type open stub is presented. And the resultant characteristic of the proposed low pass filter is that the harmonics are suppressed and rejected in wide bandwidth due to the parallel coupled-line structure. The open stub of a low pass filter is constructed in radial type which can be used to adjust the size of filter. The size of the proposed low pass filter is $6.98{\times}7.60mm2$ and the cut off frequency is 2.45 GHz. And the filter is economical in unit cost and can be constructed easily and has the merit of mass product because the filter is composed of distributed element. Also, the widely rejected harmonics is 128 % in the bandwidth and the insertion and return losses of the low pass filter are 1.07 dB and 19.5 dB, respectively.

In this paper, the Low Pass Filter (LPF) using the equivalent circuit of T-junction microstrip line is proposed. And we derived the formulas for lumped-elements of the equivalent circuit of T-junction microstrip line to solve the frequency shift characteristic. T-junction microstrip line is de-embedded by Electromagnetic simulation tool and exact lumped element value of T-junction microstrip line is calculated by the equation of Z-parameter. We can get excellent agreement between lumped-element LPF frequency response and transmission line LPF frequency response.

In this paper, we present a compact Ultra-Wideband band-pass filter using a high-pass filter and low-pass filter. The structure of our proposed band-pass filter is very simple and the DGS(Defected Ground Structure) structure is used to get the low-pass filter characteristic. Our proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded filter. As a result of measurement the insertion loss is less than 0.5dB throughout the pass-band of $2.1GHz{\sim}10.56GHz$, the return loss is more than 20dB and the group delay maximum variation is 0.23ns from 0.12ns to 0.35ns.

In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using slot on the ground plane and microstrip shunt open stub. The microstrip shunt open stub and slot exhibit the different stopband response. The combined characteristics of these structures gives the ultra-wide stopband characteristics and the coupling effect between slots on the ground plane makes the prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 20.1 mm ${\times}$ 18.7 mm has -3 ㏈ cutoff frequency at 1.187 ㎓ and -20 ㏈ stopband from 1.33 ㎓ to over 20 ㎓ and the insertion loss in the passband is less than -0.4 ㏈ form DC to 1 ㎓.

In this paper, a 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler with both power division and harmonic rejection characteristics is presented by applying a LPF characteristic to a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid. Since a conventional 90$^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler operates as a power divider/combiner using phase difference, it does not suppress higher order harmonics when it is incorporated with nonlinear amplifier. This requires an additional filter to take into account of the harmonics. The proposed 90$^{\circ}$hybrid coupler power provides the division capability and proper phase difference, as well as harmonic suppression characteristic by integrating LPF characteristic.

In this paper, a novel waveguide low pass filter for satellite communication is proposed. The proposed low pass filter is designed to obtain wideband characteristics without the interference of higher order modes, sufficient attenuation in the stop-band and small sized lightweight characteristics by evanescent-mode ridge structure. To improve return loss and rejection loss, rectangular ring is inserting around the ridges in the waveguide. Input and output ports of the low pass filter is designed by using the impedance step structure for the impedance matching of the filter. The proposed waveguide low pass filter is fabricated and then measured as return loss over 19.5 dB, insertion loss less than 1.41 dB at the pass-band of 7.25 ~ 8.4 GHz and rejection loss over 67.2 dB at the stop-band of 12.25 ~ 14.5 GHz.

본 논문에서는 5.8Ghz ISM대역 평행 결합선로 대역통과 여파기를 설계 제작하였다. 긴본적인 설계는 저역통과 여파기에서 대역통과 여파기로 변환한 후, 직 병렬 공진기를 이용한 설계와 J-인버터를 이용해 평행 결합선로 대역통과 여파기를 구현하였다. 2개의 공진 주파수를 실제로 구현하기 어렵기 때문에 하나의 공진기만을 사용하기 위해 인버터를 사용하였다. 또한 실제적인 마이크로스트립 라인의 layout크기를 결정하기 위해 우수 기수 모드 임피던스를 해석하고 근사식을 통해 스트립라인의 치수를 결정하였다. 이런 과정을 토대로 5.8GHz ISM밴드용 평행 결합선로 대역통과 여파기를 설계, 제작하였다.

본 논문에서는 $90^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기에 여파기 특성을 결합하여 전력분배와 하모닉 저지특성효과를 보여주고 있다. 일반적인 $90^{\circ}$ 하이브리드 결합기는 위상차를 갖고 전력을 분배, 합성하는 데에만 쓰이고 있기 때문에 비선형 소자와 결합함으로써 생기는 하모닉 성분을 억제하려면 여파기를 따로 설계해야 하는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 하이브리드에 저역통과 여파기 특성을 결합함으로써 위상차와 전력분배는 물론 여파기 특성인 감쇠효과를 이용하여 하모닉 성분을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 구조를 연구하였다.

본 논문에서는 매우 넓은 저지대역과 우수한 cutoff 특성을 갖는 저역통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 접지면 슬롯과 급전면 개방 스터브의 특성을 결합한 기존의 광대역 여파기에서 전송선의 길이를 ${\lambda}_g/4$로 변형함으로써 기존의 여파기보다 더 작은 크기로 넓은 저지대역과 급격한 cutoff 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 설계한 단위 여파기를 특정 간격로 배열하여 더 깊은 저지대역과 향상된 cutoff 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.
