Nowadays, the study on the ceramic components and modules used in telecommunication system is being performed. Duplexer is the one of the most important components and has the role of dividing Rx and Tx signal. Duplexer including the FBAR is being done vigorously LTCC is used for package like SAW package, duplexer package. In our research, LTCC material is used for FBAR duplexer package and photo-lithography for the fine line phase shifter. The good characteristics, low loss and good isolation, of duplexer is obtained by the fine line phase shifter having high characteristic impedance of stripline.

The purpose of this study is to develop the miniaturized duplexer filter for mobile communications using high dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}$r > 100, 180) ceramic resonators. Duplexer filter was ocmposed of ceramic resonators which has been developed using BNT system and SCT system, respectively. Developed duplexer filter was formed to have Tx frequency band at 836.5 (($\pm$12.5)MHz and Rx frequency band at 881.5 ($\pm$12.5)MHz. Insertion loss at Tx frequency band was 1.41dB and 1.46dB, insertion loss at Rx frequency band was 3.49dB and 3.65dB, respectively. Especially, duplexer filters using dielectric cermaics with ${\varepsilon}$r = 180 were 8% smaller than commercially manufactured duplexer filters using dielectric ceramics with ${\varepsilon}$r = 90 by murata.

This paper presents the designing scheme of the duplexer for ground station using rectangular waveguide. The duplexer consists of 2-channel bandpass filters having asymmetrical inductive window and inductive post obstacles, coupled with H-plane Apertured-coupled junction, and operating in the frequency ranges of 14.5∼14.8GHz and 11.7∼12.0 GHz which are the DBS up/downlink for the domestic Ku-band ground station.

A balanced RF duplexer with low interference in an extremely narrow bandgap is proposed. The Long-Term Evolution band-7 duplexer should be designed to prevent the co-existence problem with the WiFi band, whose fractional bandgap corresponds to only 0.7%. By implementing a hybrid bulk acoustic wave (BAW) structure, the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) value of the duplexer is successfully reduced and the suppressed interference for the narrow bandgap is performed. To achieve an RF duplexer with balanced Rx output topology, we also propose a novel balanced BAW Rx topology and RF circuit block. The novel balanced Rx filter is designed with both lattice- and ladder-type configurations to ensure excellent attenuation. The RF circuit block, which is located between the antenna and the Rx filter, is developed to simultaneously function as a balance-tounbalance transformer and a phase shift network. The size of the fabricated duplexer is as small as $2.0mm{\times}1.6mm$. The maximum insertion loss of the duplexer is as low as 2.4 dB in the Tx band, and the minimum attenuation in the WiFi band is as high as 36.8 dB. The TCF value is considerably lowered to $-16.9ppm/^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we have designed the duplexer using non-radiative dielectric(NRD) guide in millimeter wave band. The designed duplexer is composed of two stepped-impedance filters and T-junction. Stepped-impedance filters we designed with an equivalent circuit model of evanescent waveguide and the T-junction is optimized to minimize return loss of -20 dB or more. The characteristics of duplexer show good agreements with the expected results.

Conventional SAW duplexer filters employ a 1/4 wavelength transmission line, which causes difficulty in fabrication of the strip line on the package. Its manufacturing process is also complicated, because it needs integrating process of the separate transmitting filter, receiving filter and isolation circuits. This paper concerns development of a new structure of the duplexer filter that has all the transmitting filter, the receiving filter and the isolation circuit as a one chip device. For composition of the duplexer, we design the component SAW ladder filters and the isolation network consisting of lumped inductor and capacitor elements. Performance of the whole duplexer is optimized by the nonlinear multivariable minimization of a proper target function, and the result is compared with that of commercial filters.

This paper presents a cost-effective and high-performance film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) duplexer module for US-PCS handset applications. The FBAR device uses a glass wafer level packaging process, which is a more cost-effective alternative to the typical silicon capping process. The maximum insertion losses of the FBAR duplexer at the Tx and Rx bands are of 1.9 and 2.4 dB, respectively. The total thickness of the duplexer module is 1.2 mm, including the glass-wafer bonded Tx/Rx FBAR devices, PCB board, and transfer molding material.

In this paper, a small duplexer is designed and implemented using a H-plane T-junction and Transmitting/Geceiving filte with a dual mode cavity resonator for Ku-band. Transmitting(TX) filter is designed at center frequeny 12.5 GHz and Receiving(RX) filter, at center frequency 14.5 GHz. Both filters have a 100 MHz bandwidth. This duplexer is reduced to about 40% by the conventional duplexer of cavity bandpass filter structure in size. Operating characteristics of duplexer is optimized in order not to distors matching characteristics of each filter when interfaced to a H-plane T-junction. Consequently, the responses of filter with H-plane T-junction nearly coincide with that of filter itself.
