A RF tunable bandpass filter using dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is redesigned to improve the passband flatness. Since the tunable liters are generally of narrow bandwidth and the Q value of the varactor diode is usually very low, the passband flatness is strongly deteriorated by sizeable distortion loss. To remedy this problem, we construct modified Chebyshev type filter by use of network synthesis techniques. The key of modified Chebyshev type filter is the rearrangement of the passband poles to improve the passband flatness. To maintain the constant passband bandwidth, design techniques of input/output stage and coupling windows are also applied. Experimental results show that the passband flatness can be improved by purposed method without any additional RF amplitude equalizer.

본 논문에서는 원하지 않는 특정 주파수 신호의 감쇠 특성을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 헤어핀 구조 스트립 선로 대역 통과 여파기를 소개한다. 변형된 헤어핀 여파기는 전통적인 헤어핀 여파기의 설계 방식과 동일하게 설계하며, 설계된 여파기의 구조를 새롭게 배치함으로써 구현한다. 그리고 변형된 대칭 구조 사이에 새롭게 형성된 결합 선로의 영향들이 대역 통과 여파기의 상/하향 주파수에 전송 제로를 만든다. 이들 각각의 전송 제로들은 여파기의 특정 부분을 조절하여 원하는 특정 주파수에 위치시킬 수 있다. 이 새로운 여파기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 9.2 GHz에서 15 % FBW를 가지는 5차 Chebyshev 대역 통과 여파기를 제작하였다. 설계 후 측정 결과, 삽입 손실이 0.8 dB@9.2 GHz이며, 최대 50 dB 정도의 우수한 차단 특성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, the CAD program for designing the microwave waveguide narrow-band bandpass filters has been developed by the passband correction method with filter synthesis for the MDR(Microwave Digital Relay) system. Here, the modified double E-plane structures are employed in the filter structure which is analyzed by the variational method. Using the developed CAD program, 0.01dB equi-ripple chebyshev type 6-section bandpass filters used in the MDR system operating nationally is designed at the center frequency of 11.0GHz, fabricated with tunable type and then measured by tuning process. The experimantal results show good agreements with the theoretical results.

In this paper, compact lumped-element low-pass filter structure with two transmission zeros at second and third harmonics is presented. The use of lumped-elements and transmission zeros can provide the advantages of compact size, sharp cutoff and wide stop-band frequency response. The proposed low-pass filter is a modified Chebyshev low-pass filter type and is implemented by the use of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. This filter has been verified by both simulation and experiment. The simulated and experimental results agree very well.
