A novel miniaturized CMOS C-Band bandpass filter based on diagonally end-shorted coupled lines and interdigital capacitors is proposed. The utilized coupled lines structure reduced the configuration in size, as small as a few degrees. Moreover, the characteristic of interdigital capacitor, relatively high Q and good capacitance tolerance, accounts for the satisfied performance of this new filter. A two-stage bandpass filter was designed and fabricated with chip surface area only $1.02{\times}1.4\;mm^2$.

Microstrip directional couplers using microstrip lines do not have good directivity characteristics because the dielectric constant of the substrate is different from that of air. To solve this problem, a compensation capacitor is sometimes attached between the coupling lines to improve directivity. This paper proposes a directional coupler with high directivity using interdigital capacitors implemented with transmission lines instead of lumped capacitors. The directional coupler designed and fabricated using the proposed method showed a coupling factor of 20 dB and a directivity of higher than 30 dB at 2.14 GHz. This directional coupler can be used as two directional couplers because it has two coupling ports and two isolated ports.

In this paper, the multilayer actuator is investigated by using the finite element method. The material is taken to be piezoelectric. The capacitor and interdigital wlfloating type actuator are compared to the stress field distribution under the uniform electric field. As the length of the floating electrode in the interdigital wlfloating actuator changes, the stress field around the edge of electrode is studied.

For the purpose of developing capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrodes, interdigital electrode was modeled and simulated to obtain capacitance and sensitivity as a function of geometric parameters like the structural gap and thickness. For the development of ASIC, switched capacitor signal processing circuits for capacitive humidity sensor were designed and simulated by Cadence using $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameters. The signal processing circuits are composed of amplifier for voltage gain control, and clock generator for sensor driving and switch control. The characteristics of the fabricated sensors are; 1) sensitivity is 9fF/%R.H., 2) temperature coefficient of offset(TCO) is $0.4%R.H./^{\circ}C$, 3) nonlinearity is 1.2%FS, 4) hysteresis is 1.5%FS in humidity range of $3%R.H.{\sim}98%R.H.$. The response time is 50 seconds in adsorption and 70 seconds in desorption. Fabricated process used in this capacitive humidity sensor having interdigital electrode are just as similar as conventional IC process technology. Therefore this can be easily mass produced with low cost, simple circuit and utilized in many applications for both industrial and environmental measurement and control system, such as monitoring system of environment, automobile, displayer, IC process room, and laboratory etc.

This paper was studied the double-band monopole antenna design with Mu-negative metamaterial unit cell, which operates at 700MHz and 2.45GHz band. Mu-negative unit cell made of the interdigital capacitor structure to operate a double-band antenna by inserting it into an antenna radiator unit. In addition, the parasitic conductor is implemented on the back side of the antenna radiation part, so that the resonance point of the antenna can be controlled and the bandwidth is improved. Finally, we implemented an antenna operating in the 750MHz UHD band and the 2.45GHz WiFi band. The designed antenna has a size of $200{\times}100mm^2$. Experimental results show that the 8dB bandwidth and gain characteristics at 750MHz band are 320MHz(42.7%), 5.28dB, 6dB bandwidth and gain at 2.45GH are 540MHz (21.6%), -0.46dB. From the experimental results, we confirmed that the resonance point with theoretical value is in agreement with experimental value, and the radiation patterns are have the omnidirectional characteristic in both bands.

Li이 첨가된 0.7(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$-0.3MgO 후막 interdigital 커패시터를 연구하였다. Li이 첨가된 0.7(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$-0.3MgO의 후막을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 형성하기 위하여 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용하였다. $BaSrTiO_3$의 세라믹 물질은 높은 유전율(1MHz에서 500이상)과 낮은 유전 손실(1MHz에서 0.01)값을 가지고 있는 반면, $1350^{\circ}C$의 높은 온도에서 소결되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $BaSrTiO_3$ 세라믹 물질의 유전특성을 향상시키고 $1350^{\circ}C$의 높은 소결온도를 낮추기 위해서, MgO(30wt%)와 Li(3wt%)을 $BaSrTiO_3$에 첨가하였다. 그리고 10um의 후막을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 스크린 프린팅 방법을 통해 형성한 후, 50um finger gap의 interdigital 커패시터를 Ag 전극을 이용하여 제작하였다. 샘플을 제작하기 전에, Frequency와 유전율의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 3D simulator를 통해 시뮬레이션 하였고, 주파수와 온도별 유전 특성, 구조와 전암-전류에 대한 특성을 본 연구의 결과를 통해 토의 할 것이다.

In this paper, we proposed flexible T-DMB dipole-shaped antenna that has strength of glass antenna and also has portability and ease of production. The input impedance of antenna according to vehicle body-effect was considered in order to install the antenna on the top of the front window. Installation position of on-glass antennas are changeable defends on driver, so we proposed Interdigital capacitor in feeding point to achieve matching characteristic with no position limit. The measurement result showed good return loss characteristic-below -6 dB in the T-DMB frequency band and maintained fixed resonant frequency.

In this paper, we have studied on the possibilities of the biomaterial detection using single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) based on interdigital capacitors. For the four different configurations, such as interdigital capacitor, SWNT in the $5\;{\mu}m$ gap interdigital capacitor, biotinlated SWNT, and biotin and sreptavidin immobilization cases, the resonant frequency has been measured as 10.02 GHz, 11.02 GHz, 10.82 GHz, and 10.22 GHz, respectively. Assuming that the resonant frequency reflects the capacitance changes due to binding of two-different permittivity biomaterials, we have suggested an equivalent circuit model based on measured results, confirming the capacitance changes. For biotinlated SWNT and biotin-streptavidin immobilization cases, the capacitances are $C_b=0.55\;pF$ and $C_s=0.95\;pF$. In this work, we experimentally demonstrated that the specific biomaterial binding causes the capacitance change and therefore this gives rise to resonant frequency. In conclusion, we confirmed the sufficient possibility as CNT biosensor because an analyte biomaterial(streptavidin) binding arouses a considerable resonant frequency change.

The new structure method of GaAs microwave amplifiers using DC block function and impedance transforming property of DC block/transformer(non-symmetrical two - microstrip coupled line and interdigital three - microstrip coupled line), instead of chip capacitor, is presented. The newly structured microwave amplifier showed wideband characteristics(bandwidth, 3.5 GHz) and flat frequency response. Interdigital three - microstrip coupled line which is used for microwave amplifier can be used to match amplifiers as well as DC blocking.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of distributed analog phase shifter circuit. The phase shifter consist of coplanar waveguide(CPW) lines that are periodically loaded with voltage tunable (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$ thin film interdigital(IDT) capacitors deposited by the pulsed laser deposition(PLD) on (001) MgO single crystals. The phase velocity on these IDT loaded CPW lines is a function of applied bias voltage, thus resulting in analog phase shifting circuits. The measured differential phase shift is 48$^{\circ}$ and the insertion loss decreases from -5㏈ to -3㏈ with increasing bias voltage from 0 to 40 V at 100㎐.
