This paper proposes a new design method for narrow bandpass filters using two cascaded hairpin step impedance resonators (SIRs) with wideband harmonic suppression. The proposed bandpass filter utilizes a suspended strip line (SSL) to maximize the characteristic impedance ratio, thereby maximizing the harmonic suppression bandwidth. As an example of the proposed design method, the SSL bandpass filter with a center frequency of $f_0=1.4GHz$ and fractional bandwidth of 5 % was implemented, and proved to suppress harmonics up to $7.5f_0$ with a passband insertion loss of approximately -0.9 dB. This result implies that the proposed SSL narrow bandpass filter (NBPF) can suppress the harmonic bandwidth more than two times as compared with the filter design on a microstrip line (MSL).

In this paper, the reduced size in horizontal sizes of the narrow band pass filter (BPF) with λg/4 short stub using S shaped folded coupling structure is presented. This BPF with narrow bandwidth show flexible bandwidth with variation of the position of the stubs using the Qe(external quality factor) without changing the impedance value. On the other hand, by replacing the horizontal quarter-wavelength transmission lines with the equivalent S shaped coupled line, the BPF with reduced the size of horizontal can be realized. The proposed BPF shows the insertion loss of 1.46 dB and the return loss of 16.5 dB with bandwidth of 3.4 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz, respectively.

Wideband speech, characterized by a bandwidth of 50∼7000 ㎐, sounds more natural and intelligible, and is less tiring to listen to when compared to narrowband speech characterized by a bandwidth of 300∼3400 ㎐. Wideband speech coders, however, have not been as successful as the narrowband speech coders because of their higher bit rate. In this paper, we propose a new wideband speech coder which combines the European standard of a narrowband speech coder, i.e., GSM-EFR, and a transform coder using the discrete wavelet transform. The proposed wideband speech coder operates as follows input speech is first split into two subbands with equal bandwidth and the two subband signals are coded and decoded by each subband coder. A GSM-EFR is adopted as a lower subband coder and a subband coder with wavelet transformed speech is designed for a upper subband coder. The total bit rate of the proposed coder is 18.9kbps (12.2 kbps for lower band coder and 6.7 kbps for upper band coder), and informal listening test results have shown that the proposed coder has comparable speech quality to that of G.722 with 56 kbps.

In this paper, the flexible narrow bandpass filters (BPFs) with ${\lambda}$g/4 short and ${\lambda}$g/2 open stubs by microstrip line on duroid substrate are suggested. These BPFs with narrow bandwidth show flexible bandwidth with variation of the position of the stubs using the Qe (external quality factor) without changing the impedance value at microwave range. On the other hand, by replacing the series quarter-wavelength connecting lines with the equivalent T-shaped line of bandstop filter(BSF), the compact stub bandpass filter with harmonics suppression can be realized. The BPF with ${\lambda}$g/4 short stubs shows the insertion loss of 2.1 dB and the return loss of 18 dB and BPF with ${\lambda}$g/2 open stubs shows the insertion loss of 1.2 dB and the return loss of 21.9 dB at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz and the bandwidth of 10 %.

This paper presents in details channel and noise characteristics over narrow bands below 500kHz based on the field tests over underground low voltage(LV) power lines in residential areas in Korean grid. We show that the channel characteristics of narrowband signals over underground LV power line are decent. We first describe methodology of channel characteristic measurements including channel frequency response, noise, and line impedance, and obtain channel characteristics over the underground LV lines in the residential areas. Also based on the measurement results, we adopt the IEEE P1901.2 standard on the FCC High band, and bring up narrow band power line communication network.

In this thesis, a narrowband bandpass filter using HTS is proposed for the multiplexer of the satellite communication subsystems. The proposed structure using HTS provides the narrower band and the lower insertion loss characteristics than the conventional parallel-coupled-line bandpass filter. The filter structure using hairpin-line only cause the spurious modes due to the surface waves. But these modes can be lessened by using the hybrid hairpin-line/parallel-coupled-line proposed in this thesis. The narrowband bandpass filters using HTS at the operation frequency of 14.25 GHz are fabricated to have the narrow bandwidth less 1% and the insertion loss less 3dB in comparison with the normal metal microstrip filter with the same three poles. The experimental results show that the filter using HTS has the characteristics of the narrower bandwidth and less insertion loss and can be fabricated with more compact size in comparison with the bandpass filter using normal metal.

In this paper, we propose a new SC-FDE (single carrier frequency domain equalization) structure to cope with narrow band interference signals or jammers and reduce pilot overhead. The conventional SC-FDE structure has a problem that the receiver performance degrades severely due to difficulty in time-domain channel estimation when narrow band jammers exist. In addition, the spectral efficiency is lowered by transmitting pilot at every SC-FDE block to estimate channel response. In order to overcome those problems, the proposed structure is devised to estimate frequency domain channel directly without time domain channel estimation. To reduce the pilot overhead, several data blocks are transmitted between two pilots. The channel estimate of each data block is found through linear interpolation of two channel estimates at two pilots. By performing frequency domain channel equalization using this channel estimate, the distortion by the channel is well compensated when narrow band jammers exist. The performance of the proposed structure is confirmed by computer simulation.
