In this paper, a micro balanced filter in magnetically coupled LC resonators is proposed, designed, simulated by using FR-4 PCB substrate for low cost, small volume IEEE 802. 11a wireless LAN application. Two pair of coupled LC resonators using magnetic coupling of embedded inductors are applied to obtain bandpass transmission response and improve their phase and magnitude imbalance characteristics. In addition, high dielectric composite film is applied to fabricate the high Q MIM capacitors with small size and high capacitance density. It has an insertion loss of 1.4 dB, a return loss of 10 dB, a phase imbalance of 0.25 degree, and magnitude imbalance of 0.17 dB at frequency bandwidth of 200 MHz ranged from 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz, respectively. The proposed balanced filter has a small volume of $1.1mm{\times}1.3mm{\times}0.6mm$ (height).

A wireless power transfer system based on magnetically coupled two resonators is analysed using the filter theory. Design equations for each lumped parameter circuit components are derived. As a result, change of coupling coefficient between the resonators and/or change of load resistance are easily responded. Effect of circuit loss to the design theory is also addressed. After designing a power transfer system, a real system is constructed using spiral and loop coils. Dependence of circuit elements on their dimensions is measured in advance and used to cope with the designed element values. Simulated response by use of designed element values and measured result are compared, indicating the validity of the theory.

This paper presents a semi-lumped balun transformer using conventional PCB process and its design theory and geometry for the maximally flat response and wide bandwidth using magnetically coupled LC resonators. The proposed balun is comprised of two pairs of coupled resonators which share one among three LC resonators. It provides an identical magnitude and phase difference of 180° between two balanced ports with DC isolation and an impedance transformation characteristic. Theoretical design and analysis were performed to optimize the inductance and capacitance values of proposed balun device for obtaining the wide bandwidth and maximally flat response in its pass-band. Three balun transformers with a center frequency of 500 MHz were demonstrated for proving the concept of design proposed. They were fabricated by using lumped chip capacitors and planar inductors embedded into a conventional 4-layered PCB substrate. They exhibited a maximum magnitude difference of 0.8 dB and phase difference within 2.4 degrees.

We have proposed and analyzed an equivalent circuit for a magnetically coupled wireless power transmission (WPT) system between two loop resonators by considering its coupling coefficient and radiation-related parameters. A complete formulation is provided for all the necessary circuit parameters. The mechanism of radiation loss is sufficiently explained. The circuit and electromagnetic (EM) simulation results have been shown to be in good agreement. Based on the proposed circuit formulation, a specific load impedance for maximum WPT efficiency was found to exist. The proposed modeling of the WPT in terms of circuit characterizations provides sufficient insight into the problems associated with WPT.

본 논문에서는 두 루프(공진체)를 이용한 자계 결합 무선 전력 전송 방식의 결합계수(k)와 공진기의 Q 값 그리고 수신부의 최적 부하($R_{L,opt}$)에 대하여 제한되는 전송 효율의 문제점을 극복하기 위해 메타 물질(SRR 또는 RR), 도체, Relay 방법 등을 무선 전력 전송 시스템에 삽입 또는 시스템 주변에 위치시켜 전송 효율 증가하는 방법을 연구하였다. 위 방법을 통해 각 Case 결과에 따라 11~60 % 이상의 효율 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 각기 다른 물질을 이용하여 전송 효율이 증가되는 최적의 방법을 관찰하였으며, EM 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검증 및 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 자계 집속을 위해 메타 물질 slab을 포함하는 무선 전력 전송 성능을 공진기의 유효 Q-factor와 결합계수 예측식을 사용하여 요소적으로 분석하였다. 구체적으로, 메타 물질이 갖는 손실을 고려한 등가회로를 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 무선 전력 전송 시스템을 분석하였다. 손실이 없는 이상적 또는 저손실 메타 물질이 시스템에 삽입될 경우, 음의 투자율로 인한 자계 집속으로 인해 전송 효율이 대폭적으로 개선될 수 있다. 하지만 음의 투자율을 구현하기 위해 RR (Ring Resonator) 또는 SRR(Split Ring Resonator)로 메타 물질을 설계할 경우, 구조에 의한 손실로 효율 증가에 악영향을 끼치게 된다. 점 자하 소스가 아닌 실제의 루프 공진기에 손실이 있는 메타 물질을 사용하여 전송 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는, 메타 물질의 폭을 송수신 공진기 간 거리의 반 이하에서 최적화하여야 한다. 손실 탄제트가 0.001인 메타 물질이 두 공진체 사이에 삽입되었을 때는 그 폭과 두 공진기 사이의 거리의 비가 약 0.35일 때 전송 효율이 93%(메타물질 사용하지 않은 경우는 53 %)로 최대가 되었으며, 손실 탄젠트가 0.2(실제 손실과 유사)를 갖는 메타 물질이 삽입될 경우, 그 비가 약 0.25에서 약 61 %의 최대 전송효율을 나타내었다.

In this paper, PCB embedded balanced-to-unbalamced duplexer using coupled LC resonator was introduced for low cost dualband WiMax front-end-module application. In order to obtain the function of bandpass filter and balun transformer, proposed duplexer was configured by using magnetically coupled LC resonator. Out-of-band suppression was enhanced by applying two m-Derived transform circuits to obtain transmission zeros at 2GHz and 4.8GHz. In order to reduce the size of embedded duplexer, BaSrTiO3 (BST) composite high Dk RCC film was applied to improve the capacitance density. This high Dk film provided the capacitance density of 12.2 pF/mm2. The simulation results shows that fabricated duplexer had an insertion loss of 2.9dB and 5.5dB and return loss of 15dB and 16dB for 2.5GHz~2.6GHz and 3.5GHz~3.6GHz, respectively. The maximum magnitude and phase imbalance were 0.01dB and 0.17dB, and 1degree and 2degree in its passband, respectively. The out-of-band suppression was observed approximately 29dB and 40dB below 1.9GHz and over 4.5GHz, respectively. It has a volume of 6 mm $\times$ 7 mm $\times$ 0.7 mm (height).
