In this paper we discuss narrow-band interference rejection schemes for spectrum overlay communications where direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) communication system and narrow-band communication systems share the same frequency band. In this case, it is essential to reject the narrow-band signals to guarantee the performance of DS/SS system, while it is not necessarily required to reject the DS/SS signal to recover the narrow-band signal. We discuss several schemes such as time domain processing, frequency domain processing and exploiting the device characteristics to reduce the effect of narrow-band signal on DS/SS communication systems. Furthermore, we suggest a structure of tunable notch filter using gyrator that can easily be customized to ASIC.

The double mode SAW resonator filters have the serious shortcoming that out-of-band rejection above the passband is quite poor. Hence a new structure of the double mode filter is designed with the COM (Coupling Of MOdes) theory with better out-of-band rejection characteristics while keeping all the beauties of the conventional type. The second goal of the design is to reduce the planar size of the structure so that mass productivity of low frequency devices can be improved. For those purposes, several IDT's and relfector gratings are added to or subtracted from the conventional structure so that the modification can lead to better overall performance as a filter. As results of the investigation, several new double mode SAW resonator filter structures are developed. A new structure shows 10dB more out-of-band rejection that the conventional type with 25% reduced device size. Good agreement is demonstrated between the analytical results and experimental results for an illustrative 325MHz four pole resonator filter on 64°YX LiNbO3.

In this paper, a compact-narrow open stub band-pass filter with parasitic-signal of low frequency range and second harmonics rejected using the parallel coupled line and FLCLM(Frquency Locked Controlled Length Method) is proposed. The characteristic of the parallel coupled line can be rejection for parasitic-signal of low frequency range and second harmonics. In last filter of experimental results show that insertion loss is 1.2 dB and return loss is 14.8 dB, and the fractional bandwidth is 10 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz. In additional, the rejection for parasitic-signal of low frequency range and second harmonics are 28.9 dB and 28.8 dB, respectively.

In this paper, Image Rejection Interdigital Filter(IRIF) for 5.8GHz wireless LAN was designed and implemented. When the input signal is -30dBm in the 4~8㎓ frequency band, the insertion loss including all kinds of loss is 6.3dB in the center frequency 5.775GHz. Therefore, it was showed practically insertion loss of about -3.3dB. Especially, image signal rejection is about -l7dB in the image frequency 6.475GHz. and skirt characteristics of the high frequency band is very excellent. Therefore, it was confirmed that the proposed IRIF is suitable for RF image signal rejection in the 5.8GHz wireless LAN system.

This paper presents a high gain and high harmonic rejection low-noise amplifier (LNA) for software-defined radio receiver. This LNA exploits the high quality factor (Q) series resonance technique. High Q series resonance can amplify the in-band signal voltage and attenuate the out-band signals. This is achieved by a source impedance transformation. This technique does not consume power and can easily support multiband operation. The chip is fabricated in a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS. It supports four bands (640, 710, 830, and 1,070MHz). The measured forward gain ($S_{21}$) is between 12.1 and 17.4 dB and the noise figure is between 2.7 and 3.3 dB. The IIP3 measures between -5.7 and -10.8 dBm, and the third harmonic rejection ratios are more than 30 dB. The LNA consumes 9.6 mW from a 1.2-V supply.

In this paper, we designed more improving a dual-band power amplifier than the transceiver of RFID reader that operates at 910 MHz and 2.45 GHz. A dual-band power amplifier has two circuits. One matching circuit is composed lumped element in the band of 910 MHz. The other matching circuit using distributed element in the high band of 2.45 GHz. So, this dual-band power amplifier works as Band Rejection Filter in the band of 910 MHz but in the high band of 2.45 GHz works as Band Pass Filter. Therefore, this is composed a microstrip transmission line. A power amplifier is showed gains of 8 dB output power at 910 MHz and 1.5 dB output power at 2.45 GHz. If input power is 10 dBm, both of bands output 20 dBm.

The aim of the study is to scrutinize the relationship between the area of resonance and insertion loss by analyzing the characteristics of 2-port resonator. This was done through designing an air-gap type Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) by using CAD model for the application of bandpass filter of high-frequency band with piezoelectric thin film. Moreover, through the design of ladder-type BPF, we were able to observe changes in bandwidth, resonation, out-of-band rejection depending on the number and area of resonator.
