In this paper, we proposed the dual-mode stepped impedance ring resonator bandpass filter for MMIC (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) applications using the dielectric-supported air-gapped microstrip line (DAML). The ring resonator fabricated by surface micromachining technology. This filter consists of a DAML resonator layer and a CPW feed line. The DAML ring resonator is elevated with $10{\mu}m$ height from GaAs substrate surface. This bandpass filter is $1-{\lambda}g$ type stepped impedance ring resonator including dual-mode resonance. From the measurements, we obtained attenuation of over 15 dB and insertion loss of 2.65 dB at the center frequency of 97 GHz. Relative bandwidth is about 12 % at 97 GHz. Furthermore, the proposed bandpass filter is useful to integrate with conventional MMICs.

A flat conversion loss in microwave mixer is hard to achieve if integrating with an image rejection filter(IRF). This is due to the change of termination condition with respect to the LO and IF frequency at RF port where the filter has 50 ohm termination property only in the RF band. This paper describes a flatness maintenance in the down mixer concerning a diode matching condition as well as an electrical length of embedding line at RF port. The implemented single balance diode mixer is suitable for a 23 ㎓ European Terrestrial Radio. RF, LO and fixed IF frequency chosen in this paper are 21.2∼22.4 ㎓, 22.4∼23.6 ㎓ and 1.2 ㎓, respectively. The measured results show a conversion loss of 8.5 ㏈, flatness of 1.2 ㏈ p-p, input P1㏈ of 7㏈m, IIP3 of 15.42 ㏈m with nominal LO power level of 10㏈m. The return loss of RF and LO port are less than - 15 ㏈ and - 12 ㏈, respectively and IF port is less than - 6 ㏈. LO/RF and LO/IF isolation are 18 ㏈ and 50 ㏈, respectively. This approach would be a helpful reference for designing up/down converter possessing a filtering element.

In this paper, the technique of analysis and optimization on the Passive intermodulation(PIM) in a filter using coaxial transmission resonator, is presented. The developed simulation technique can reduce PIM power without the degradation of the linear filter response, through the variation of filter dimensions. The increase of PIM in filter is depended on currents flowing through each resonator forming filter. The reduction of these currents therefore makes the reduction of PIM power.

A high-temperature superconducting 1.78 GHz bandpass filter, designed for PCS applications, is presented. The structure consists of microstrip pseudo-lumped elements, which enables miniaturization of the filter. A 5-pole microstrip filter could be realized on a 37 mm $\times$ 9 mm $LaAlO_3$ substrate, using double-sided high-temperature superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O{7-\delta}$ thin film. This filter showed 0.7 % fractional bandwidth, 0.3 dB insertion loss, and 12 dB return loss in the passband at 60 K.

A magnetic-field tunable 2.4 GHz microwave bandpass filter having insertion loss < -5dB on an FR4 substrate with the flaky magnetic material was designed and characterized. The tunability in the designed bandpass filter was achieved by adhering soft magnetic materials on top of the device. This soft magnetic material can be composed of ferromagnetic substance or ferrimagnetic substance. The performance of the designed bandpass filter under its influence is investigated. The frequency offset ratio changes over 30 %. There is over 20 % change in the center frequency towards the lower frequency region due to this application. These magnetic material layers achieved the center frequency shift and bandwidth extension without actually changing the original structure of the device.
