In this paper, a compact UWB (Ultra Wideband) BPF(Band-Pass Filter) with dual notched bands is proposed using a hybrid Composited Right-Left Handed (CRLH) and Defected Ground Structure (DGS). To avoid the interferences such as Wireless LAN (Center frequency: 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz), the CRLH is employed to obtain the dual notched bands and the DGS is used to obtain the wide stop-band above the pass-band. The fabricated filter has good performance and has more than 30dB rejection at the center frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5.8GHz. The dual notched bands are easily movable by changing the CRLH parameter. Also the insertion loss is less than 0.4dB in the lower pass-band and 0.7dB in the upper pass-band, and it has small group delay variation less than 0.6ns. The size of the fabricated filter is very compact (17mm*17mm).

In this paper, we propose the receiver algorithms suitable for the VHF (Very High Frequency) digital link mode-2(VDL Mode-2) system. Unlike conventional digital communication systems using the root raised cosine filter as a transmit and receive filter, raised cosine filter is used as a transmit filter in the VDL Mode-2 system. Hence, it is crucial to design and implement the optimum lowpass receive filter by considering inter-symbol interference and noise performance. On the other hand, due to the short preamble pattern, it is crucial to develop an efficient packet detection algorithm for reliable communication link for the VDL Mode-2 system. Also, frequency offset due to the carrier frequency difference between transmitter and receiver and doppler frequency shift must be estimated and compensated for reliable communication. In this paper, the optimum receive filter, packet detection and frequency offset compensation algorithms are proposed and the performance of the VDL system employing the proposed algorithms are evaluated.

This paper presents a new design method of the Ultra-Wide-Band BandPass Filter using the CRLH-TL(Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line) having the Metamaterials' properties. Instead of the periodic type or many cells of the CRLH-TL, only the unit cell is used to miniaturize the target component, which can not be realized by the conventional quarter guided-wavelength resonator-based filters. Particularly, the strong coupling essential to the Ultra Wide Band is enabled by the interdigital coupled lines between the grounded stubs. The proposed design scheme is validated by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter which shows the total size of 'the guided-wavelength/9.4', the 100 % fractional bandwidth for the UWB, the insertion loss of less than 1 dB and the flat group-delay.

Employing indefinite admittance matrix analysis method, a novel synthesis procedure of general active-RC filters using 2 operational amplifiers has been shown in this paper. With this procedure, a stable active-RC bandpass filter hart been designed, which provides for independent adjustment of the uning and band-width control. The predicted and actual performance is in good agreement.

This paper examines the performance of adaptive filtering algorithms in relation to the asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of estimators. The adaptive filtering algorithms are Hybrid II and modified zero forcing (MZF) algorithms. The Hybrid II and MZF algorithms are simplified forms of the LMS algorithm, which use the polarity of the input signal, and polarities of the error and input signals, respectively. The ARE of estimators for each algorithm is analyzed under the condition of the same convergence speed. Computer simulations for adaptive equalization are performed to check the validity of the theory. The explicit expressions for the ARE values of the Hybrid II and MZF algorithms are derived, and its results have similar values to the results of computer simulation. It also revealed that the ARE values depend on the correlation coefficients between input signal and error signal.

A novel 200 MHz CMOS transconductor using translinear cells is proposed. The proposed transconductor consists of voltage followers and current followers based on translinear cells and a resistor. For wide applications, a single-input single-output, a single-Input differential-output, and a fully-differential transconductor are systematically designed, respectively. The theory of operation is described and computer simulation results are used to verify theoretical predictions. The results show that the fully-differential transconductor has a linear input voltage range of ${\pm}2.7$ V, a 3 dB frequency of 200 MHz, and a temperature coefficient of less than 41 $ppm/^{\circ}C$ at supply voltages of ${\pm}3$ V. In order to certify the applicability of the fully-differential transconductor, A ladder-type 3th-order cllitic low pass filter is also designed based on the inductance simulation method. The filter has a ripple bandwidth of 22 MHz, a pass-band ripple of 0.36 dB, and a cutoff frequency of 26 MHz.

In this paper, we proposed novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane) and via in ceramic substrate of microstrip line. From analysis result, the proposed PBG structure is reduced 52.5% at size and increased 45 % at bandwidth compared to typical planar PBG structure. It is also reduced 32 % at size and improved more than 8 dB at power loss compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). The proposed PBG structure also can be used bandstop and lowpass filter and it will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

In this paper, we derive a spectral function and a new impedance profile of non-uniform tapered transmission lines by applying the Fourier transform to a linearized Riccati equation. We compensate the error which is from a linearized Riccati equation by adding a Taylor series to the impedance profile. Added terms remove discontinuities In the impedance profile at both ends of the non-uniform section. We show that a calculated spectrum approaches to a target spectrum of filter by an iterative method and numerical examples are given to illustrate the role of the phase function. As the design method which is shown in present paper provides a excellent adaptability for the design of non-uniform tapered transmission lines, the present method can be applied to design filters and impedance matching circuits with various passband characteristics.
