This paper presents an overview of recent advances in radio frequency and microwave filter topologies for satellite communication systems. Many types of filters have been developed during the last years in order to satisfy the demands of modern applications in both terrestrial systems and onboard spacecrafts, leading to a great variety of aspects such as transfer functions, resonator implementations or coupling structures. This paper revisits some of the last advances in this area, including the modeling and full-wave simulation. Some recent designs using dual-mode cavities along with other novel implementations in ridge waveguide will be shown.

논문에서는 전원부에서 노이즈가 발생되어 신호선에 노이즈가 유기될 때, 유전체의 손실 특성이 노이즈에 미치는 영향에 관해서 연구를 하였다. 이를 분석하기 위해 Full-wave 시뮬레이터인 Ansoft사의 HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulation)와 CST사의 MWS(MicroWave Studio)의 계산 결과와 측정 결과를 비교하여 신뢰성을 확보하였고, 실제 사용되고 있는 4가지의 상용 기판에 대한 유기되는 노이즈를 해석하였다. 또한, TLM(Transmission Line Method)를 이용해서 전원면의 회로 모델 구성 시 기판의 유전체 손실을 반영할 수 있는 Debye 모델을 적용하여 주파수에 대한 임피던스를 분석할 수 있는 모델을 적용 측정 결과와 3 GHz까지 일치하는 모델을 얻었다.

A new approach, using MEMS, for improving the performance of high efficiency amplifiers is proposed in this paper. The MEMS tuning element is described as a variable-length shorted CPW stub. Class-E amplifiers can be optimally tuned by these MEMS tuning elements because their operation varies with the impedance of the output tuning circuit. A MEMS tuning element was simulated using full-wave EM simulators to obtain its S-parameters. A Class-E amplifier with the MEMS was designed at 8GHz. The non-linear operation of this amplifier was simulated to explore the effect of the MEMS tuning. Comparing the initially designed amplifier without MEMS, the Power Added Efficiency (PAE) of the amplifier with MEMS is improved from 46.3% to 66.9%. For the amplifier with MEMS, the nonlinear simulation results are PAE = 66.90%, $\eta$(drain efficiency) = 75.89%, and $P_{out}$ = 23.37 dBm at 8 GHz. In this paper, the concept of the MEMS tuning element is successfully applied to the Class E amplifier designed with transmission lines.
