In this paper, planar duplexer module combined with power amplifier is described. This new scheme is to enhance power efficiency as well as to minimize the size of RF circuit in CDMA phone. Each filter which was a part of duplexer, was realized with planar type and rearranged into the power amplifier module on the multilayer board. Each electrical specifications of existing power amplifier and duplexer were satisfied. Especially, ACPR performances measured at output power of 24dBm which is 2dB lower than that of a conventional one, meet IS-95 for a power amplifier of CDMA phone. Overall current about 80mA has been successfully saved as a result of new scheme. In addition, the module size has been reduced to be as small as 1.08CC.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of the duplexer for a Ka-band satellite transponder which is analyzed transmission characteristics by calculating the generalized scattering matrix using mode matching method. It is composed of 2 bandpass filters, coupled with H-plane T-junction having symmetrical inductive iris and E-plane metal insert structures. Compared with the size and weight of the Rx and Tx filter loaded with a transponders respectively, those of the duplexer can be effectively reduced. In a high power transmission, the variation of the filter characteristics is minimized by the scheme that irises are extended to the exterior of H-plane of the waveguide. This scheme needs no extra heat sinks for dissipating high power. The duplexer is designed to improve the simplification, durability and reliability by eliminating tuning screws, which have been used to compensate for the characteristics of fabricated filters. The bandpass filters of the duplexer show the insertion loss of less than 1.2 dB and the return loss in excess of 15 dB. The isolations of more than 65 dB have been achieved between Rx and Tx filter.

In this paper, we have investigated the design technique and fabricated the surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter for duplexer, which consists of Tx. and Rx. filter, and antenna terminal. For Tx. and Rx. bandpass filters we used the one-port SAW resonators with n-section ladder structure. The structure is composed of couples of series-arm resonators and parallel-arm resonators. RF filter using ladder structure was designed and fabricated on 36$^{\circ}$Y-X LiTaO$_3$ substrates. Designed filters, insertion loss is less than 1.5dB, the bandwidth is more than 25MHz, rejection band level is less than -30dB and center frequency is 820MHz.

In the previous study, a new LTCC material in the $PbWO_{4}-TiO_{2}-B_{2}O_{3}-CuO$ system was introduced. The developed material can be sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ and its dielectric properties are $\varepsilon_{r}=20-25$, $Q{\times}f_{o}=30000\sim50000GHz$, and $\tau_{f}=0.2{\sim}30ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore this material can be used as a LTCC substrate material for fabrication of multilayered high frequency communication module set. In present study, using this material, tape casting condition was established. With this condition, a multilayered resonator was fabricated and its electrical properties were examined. In present study, an antenna-duplexer module was also fabricated. Frequency characteristics of as-fabricated antenna-duplexer module was compared with simulation results.

이중 통신(Duplexer) 필터를 설계 및 개발하기 위한 최적조건을 구하기 위해 36° LiTaO3 기판 표면에 빗살무늬 변환기를 사용한 모의 실험을 수행하였으며, 전극 재료로는 Cu-Al(W3%)합금을 이용하였다. 제작한 듀플렉스 필터의 사다리(Lader)형 구조로서 직렬 공진기와 병렬 공진기의 결합으로 필터를 구성하였다. 적절한 통과대역과 저지대역을 형성 하기 위하여 직렬 공진기와 병렬 공지기의 주파수 차이를 30MHz로 했으며, 낮은 저지대역 을 형성하기 위하여 두 공진기의 전기용량의 비는 1로 하였고, 전극의 두께는 2,500Å으로 하였을 때 설계 조건과 일치하는 주파수 응답을 얻었다. 제작한 듀플렉서 필터의 주파수 특 성은 중심 주파수는 836.5MHz와 881.5MHz, 통과대역 폭은 25MHz, 삽입손실은 2.5dB 이하 및 저지대역은 -35dB이하로 나타났다.

In this study, we analyzed and experimented micro-strip line inductors and capacitors for a SAW duplexer, an important devise for mobile communication. For SAW duplexers, micro-strip line lumped elements must have small impedance values, below several tens of nH or several tens of pF, and a small area pattern. In this study, we performed theoretical analysis of flat line type, meander line type, and spiral line type inductors and interdigital capacitors on a LiTaO$_3$ Piezo-crystal. We proposed a measurement method to evaluate small values of lumped elements accurately with network analyzer. In experiments, we confirmed validity of the theoretical analysis method through fabrication and characterization of micro-strip line lumped elements. The analysis method in this paper can be applied to SAW duplexers well as other microwave devices.

In this paper, the design and implementation of the novel RF front end circuit for CDMA based PCS phone is described. This novel scheme is realized by building the power amplifier module combined with duplexer. The dielectric filters which are parts of duplexer are broken up and relocated into the module. Electromagnetic analysis for via holes and coupling between narrow transmissio lines is icluded to design a circuit. The combined moule has been minimaturized to be as small as 1.5CC. It has satisfied IS-95 requirements for linearity performances of CDMA signal at 24-dBm output power as well as played apart as a duplexer. The operating current of about 95mA has been saved owing to both rearranging dielectric filters and limiting operating point to class-B by considering real working power range of CDMA phones.
