  • This paper reports a miniaturized conductor-backed CPW (CBCPW) bandpass filter based on a thin film polyimide layer coated on CMOS-grade silicon. With a 20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick polyimide interface layer and back metallization on the CMOS-grade silicon, the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the lossy silicon substrate has been isolated, and as a result a low-loss and low-dispersive CBCPW line has been obtained. Measured attenuation constant at 20 GHz is below 1.2 ㏈/cm, which is compatible with the CPW on GaAs. In addition, by using the proposed CBCPW geometry, miniaturized BPF for Ku band application is designed and its measured frequency response shows excellent agreement with the predicted value with validating the performances of the proposed CBCPW geometry for RFIC interconnects and filter applications.

  • To improve the color gamut of a liquid-crystal display (LCD), we propose a bandpass filter that is added to the backlight unit to optimize the backlight spectrum. The bandpass filter can only transmit red, green and blue light in the visible range, while reflecting the unwanted light. We study the optical properties of the bandpass filter using the transfer-matrix method, and the effect of the bandpass filter on the color gamuts of LCDs is also investigated. When a bandpass filter based on a 5-layer configuration comprising low and high refractive indices ((HL)2H) is used in phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diode (pc-WLED), K2SiF6:Mn4+ (KSF-LED), and quantum-dot (QD) backlights, the color gamuts of the LCDs improve from 72% to 95.3% of NTSC, from 92% to 106.7% of NTSC, and from 104.3% to 112.2% of NTSC respectively. When the incident angle of light increases to 30°, the color gamuts of LCDs with pc-WLED and KSF-LED backlights decrease by 2.9% and 1% respectively. For the QD backlight, the color gamut almost does not change. When the (HL)2H structure is coated on the diffusion film, the color gamut can be improved to 92.6% of NTSC (pc-WLED), 105.6% of NTSC (KSF-LED), and 111.9% of NTSC (QD). The diffusion film has no obvious effect on the color gamut. The results have an important potential application in wide-color-gamut LCDs.

  • In this paper we present approximated constrained least squares filter for real-time directionally adaptive image restoration. The proposed method makes a hardware implementation easier for real-time image restoration because of reducing the filter size. Furthermore, for directional adaptive image restoration, this paper estimates the local orientation by analyzing the covariance matrix and applies to approximated constrained least squares filter. Experimental results show that the proposed method is sharper and less artifacts than existing methods.

  • This paper describes the development of a new $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ SAW filter bank which is consist of 12 L, C matching components and 4 SAW bare chips on PCB substrate with CSP technology. We improved the manufacturing cost by removing the ceramic package through direct flip bonding of $LiTaO_3$ SAW bare chip on PCB board after mounting L, C passive element on PCB board. After that we realized the hermitic sealing by laminating the epoxy film. To confirm the confidentiality and durability of the above method, we have obtained the optimum flip bonding & film laminating condition, and figured out material property and structure to secure the durability & moisture proof of PCB board. The newly developed super mini $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ filter bank shows the superior features than those of existing products in confidence, electrical, mechanical characters.

  • This paper presents the simulation of Au / $Ba_{x}$S $r_{1-x}$ Ti $O_3$(BSTO) / Magnesium oxide (MgO) multi-layered and electrically tunable band-pass filters (BPFs) by using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). This model is a two-pole microstrip edge coupled filter. The filter was designed fur a center frequency about 5.8 GHz. The tunabillity of the filter is achieved using the nonlinear dc electric-field dependence on the relative dielectric constant of BSTO frroelectric thin film. This work seems very promising for future wireless communication systems....

  • In this paper, a highly miniaturized and performed UWB bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive elements into a multi-layered PCB substrate with high dielectric $SrTiO_3$ composite film for 3.1 - 4.75 GHz compact UWB system applications. The high dielectric composite film was utilized to increase the capacitance densities and quality factors of capacitors embedded into the PCB. In order to reduce the size of the filter and avoid parasitic EM coupling between the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a $3^{rd}$ order Chebyshev circuit topology and a capacitive coupled transformation technology. Independent transmission zeros were also applied for improving the attenuation of the filter at the desired stopbands. The measured insertion and return losses in the passband were better than 1.68 and 12 dB, with a minimum value of 0.78 dB. The transmission zeros of the measured response were occurred at 2.2 and 5.15 GHz resulting in excellent suppressions of 31 and 20 dB at WLAN bands of 2.4 and 5.15 GHz, respectively. The size of the fabricated bandpass filter was $2.9{\times}2.8{\times}0.55(H)mm^3$.

  • The primary purpose of port filming is to verify the treatment volume under treatment. Although the image quality with the megavoltage x-ray beam is poorer than with the diagnostic or the simulator film. This paper proposes an edge-adaptive Kalman filter for the image enhancement of port films. Suggested filtering procedure preserves edge information and eliminates edge noise and inside and outside treatment area preserving treatment boundary.

  • In this paper, we present a novel digital multifocusing approach using adaptive region-based histogram equalization for the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system with insufficient amount of incoming light. From the image acquired by the MCA system, we can estimate the depth information of objects at different distances by measuring the amount of misalignment among the RGB color planes. The estimated depth information is used to obtain multifocused images together with the process of the region-of-interests (ROIs) classification, registration, and fusion. However, the MCA system results in the low-exposure problem because of the limited size of the apertures. For overcoming this problem, we propose adaptive region-based histogram equalization. Based on the experimental results, the proposed algorithm is proved to be able to obtain in-focused images under the low light level environment.

  • The structure and properties of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings depend on the main process parameters and bending angles of the magnetic field filter used in the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA). During the process, it is possible to effectively control the plasma flux of carbon ions incident on the substrate by controlling the arc discharge current, thereby influencing the mechanical properties of the coating film. Furthermore, we can control the size and amount of large particles mixed during carbon film formation while conforming with the bending angle of the mechanical filter mounted on the FCVA; therefore, it also influences the mechanical properties. In this study, we consider tribological characteristics for filtered bending angles of 45° and 90° as a function of arc discharge currents of 60 and 100 A, respectively. Experiment results indicate that the frictional behavior of the ta-C coating film is independent of the bending angle of the filter. However, its sliding wear behavior significantly changes according to the bending angle of the FCVA filter, unlike the effect of the discharge current. Further, upon changing the bending angle from 45° to 90°, abrasive wear gets accelerated, thereby changing the size and mixing amount of macro particles inside the coating film.
