본 논문은 824-849MHz 주파수용 무선통신 단말기의 송신전력을 모니터링하는 역할을 위한 소형화된 LTCC(low temperature to-fired ceramics) 전력검출부에 대하여 기술한다. 제안된 LTCC 전력검출부는 검출기 다이오드, 정합회로를 위한 집중 소자들, 그리고 LTCC 스트립선로 방향성결합기로 구성된다. 소형화를 위하여 실제로 점유된 면적을 줄이기 위해서 다수의 벤드(bend) 소자를 지닌 스트립선로 방향성합기가 설계, 제작되며, 최소 손실과 고속 동작을 위하여 제로 바이어스 쇼트키 다이오드가 사용된다. 제작된 LTCC 전력검출부의 측정결과는 유효 RF 입력 전력영역에서 우수한 선형성을 지니며 예측 결과와 잘 일치한다.

A coupler is a microwave passive component used for power coupling or dividing. Regarding the trend of current telecommunication systems it is highly desirable for monolithic integration of passive components as such LTCC(Low temperature cofired ceramics) technology offers potential advantage in size, cost and performance. Utilizing LTCC technology a 2012 size type dual band coupler for DCS and EGSM band was fabricated. Its characteristics such as coupling, insertion loss, isolation and directivity was measured and compared with simulation results

Nowadays, the study on the ceramic components and modules used in telecommunication system is being performed. Coupler is a microwave passive component used for power coupling or dividing and directional coupler is designed to be possible optional dividing percentage. In our research, We developed 14dB and 19dB directional couplers of EGSM band. The good characteristics, the target insertion loss and high isolation, of couplers is obtained by LTCC processing using a ceramic material.

현재의 LTCC 필터는 주파수 대역이나 서비스의 종류에 따라서 다르지만 대개 LPF, BPF, x-plexer 등 단품에서 Balun, Antenna, Coupler, RF-lC Chip, Matching회로 등과의 복합부품화, 복합모듈화의 형태로 진행되고 있다. LTCC기술을 간단히 요약하고 LTCC 필터 설계의 주요 측면을 살펴본 후, 휴대 단말기 분야뿐 아니라 최근의 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.8 GHz의 WLAN의 LTCC 필터, Waveguide형 LTCC 필터, Module화 등의 예를 보인다. 최신의 시장 예측기관의 조사 자료도 같이 살펴보고 향후 전망을 해 본다.

A push-push voltage controlled dielectric resonator oscillator (VCDRO) with a modified frequency tuning structure using broadside couplers is investigated. The push-push VCDRO designed at 16 GHz is manufactured using a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology to reduce the circuit size. The frequency tuning structure using a broadside coupler is embedded in a layer of the A6 substrate by using the LTCC process. Experimental results show that the fundamental and third harmonics are suppressed above 15 dBc and 30 dBc, respectively, and the phase noise of push-push VCDRO is -97.5 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz from the carrier. The proposed frequency tuning structure has a tuning range of 4.46 MHz over a control voltage of 1-11 V. This push-push VCDRO has a miniature size of 15 mm×15 mm. The proposed design and fabrication techniques for a push-push oscillator seem to be applicable in many space and commercial VCDRO products.

전력 결합기 및 전력 배분기는 마이크로파 수동 소자의 일종으로 전력을 결합하거나 나눌 때 쓰이는 것이다. 최근의 정보통신 시스템의 추세를 보아 수동 소자의 집적화 및 소형화가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 추세를 감안하여 2012 크기의 다층 구조를 적용한 양대역 방향성 결합기를 저온 동시소성 기술을 활용하여 제작하였다. DCS(Digital communication system)와 EGSM(European global system for mobile) 대역에서 각기 원하는 커플링을 얻기 위해서 수직 결합 패턴들을 다층 구조에 적용하였다. 제작된 방향성 결합기의 결합성, 삽입 손실, 격리성 및 방향성 등의 특성들을 측정하였고 시뮬레이션 결과들과 비교 고찰하였다.

In this paper, a novel lumped equivalent circuit for a conventional parallel directional coupler is proposed. The equivalent circuit and design formula for the presented lumped element coupler is derived based on the even-and odd-mode properties of a parallel-coupled line. By using the derived design formula, we have designed the 3㏈ and 10㏈ lumped element directional couplers at the center frequency of 100Mhz. Furthermore, a chip type directional coupler has been designed to fabricate with multilayer configurations by employing the Low Temperature CofiredCeramic (LTCC) process. Designed chip-type directional coupler has a 10㏈-coupling value at the center frequency of 2㎓. Excellent agreements between simulations and measurements on the designed directional couplers show the validity of this paper

The sintering behavior of LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramics) chip couplers was investigated in relation with Ag diffusion at the interface of glass ceramic substrate-Ag electrode. Sintering temperature was in the range of 825$^{\circ}C$-975$^{\circ}C$. The commercial green sheet and silver electrode were used. Below 875$^{\circ}C$ the diffusion of the Ag ion into the substrate and the penetration of glassy phases into the electrode occurred due to an increase of fluidity. Thus the lectrode line was severely deformed and damaged. At 975$^{\circ}C$ the transformation of crystalline phases into glassy phases and the melting of the Ag electrode resulted in the diffusion of the considerable amount of Ag ions.
