This paper has been proposed an audio DAC structure composed of FIRs and IIR filters as digital interpolation filter to integrate the off-chip analog low-pass filter on-a-chip. The passband ripple(< 0.41${\times}$fs), passband attenuation(at 0.41${\times}$fs) and stopband attenuation(> 0.59${\times}$fs) of the Δ$\Sigma$ modulator output using the proposed digital interpolation filter had ${\pm}$ 0.001 ［㏈］, -0.0025［㏈］ and -75［㏈］, respectively. Also the inband group delay was 30.07/fs［s］ and the error of group delay was 0.1672%. Also, the attenuation of stopband has been increased -20［㏈］ approximately at 65［㎑］, out-of-band. Therefore the RC products of analog low-pass filter on chip have been decreased compared with the conventional digital interpolation filter structure.

We have studied the design of the photonic bandgap (PBG) structure on the microstrip line that can effectively control the fractional bandwidth of the passband formed in the stopband by adding the stub in the cell of the microstrip PBG structure. As the length of the stub increases, the cutoff frequency and the center frequency of the stopband are decreased, while the bandwidth of the stopband is increased. We have also found that the fractional bandwidth of the passband formed in stopband by the introduction of defect decreases as the stub length is increased. These results mean that adding the stub in the normal PBG structure is an effective way to control the fractional bandwidth. As an application example, we have implemented a microwave duplexer using the proposed structure.

This paper investigates how intentional mistuning of bladed disks reduces their sensitivity to unintentional random mistuning. The class of intentionally mistuned disks considered here is limited, for cost reasons, to arrangements of two types of blades (A and B, say). A two-step procedure is then described to optimize the arrangement of these blades around the disk to reduce the effects of unintentional random mistuning. First, a pure optimization effort is undertaken to obtain the pattern (s) of the A and B blades that yields small/the smallest value of the largest amplitude of response to a given excitation in the absence of unintentional random mistuning using Genetic Algorithm. Then, in the second step, a qualitative/quantitative estimate of the sensitivity for the optimized intentionally mistuned bladed disks with respect to unintentional random mistuning is performed by analyzing their amplification factor, probability density function and passband/stopband structures. Examples of application with simple bladed disk models demonstrate the significant benefits of using this class of intentionally mistuned disks.

In this paper, we designed a cascaded microstrip lowpass filter using the lowpass filters previously proposed. The previously proposed lowpass filters have a ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using the combined characteristics of slot and microstrip open stub, respectively, and they are catagorized into 2 types by the method that determining their passband characteristics. The first type is determined its passband characteristics by open stub characteristics and the second is by slot characteristics. By cascading these structures with impedance adjustment of each element, the deeper out-of-band rejection and the sharper skirt response were achieved. The fabricated cascaded lowpass filters have -3㏈ cutoff frequencies at 1.035㎓ and 1.286㎓ respectively and -20㏈ stopband is over 20㎓ for both structures.

An ultrawide bandpass filter with sharp rejection and wider stopband is designed and implemented using multilayer ceramic configuration. The proposed filter is composed of a broadside coupled structure and a ring type filter with an embedded stripline stub. The measured results show that the fractional bandwidth and upper stopband of the proposed filter are 106 % and better than -30 dB, respectively. The insertion loss is less than 1 dB, and group delay is less than 0.3 ns in the passband. In addition, ring and broadside coupled gap structures are characterized and compared to the proposed structure.

In this paper, we design a slow-wave bandpass filter that uses a microstrip line periodically loaded with microstrip ing resonators for WLAN(5 GHz). Unlike conventional slow-wave filters, this filter is designed to produce a narrow passband at the fundamental mode of the resonators and provide lower insertion loss than that of parallel- or cross-coupled ring bandpass filters. A PBG(Photonic Band Gap) structure patterned in the ground plane is used to suppress the spurious transmission and extend out-of-band rejections Experimental result shows that the first spurious response in the stopband of the slow-wave bandpass filter can be rejected using a PBG structure.

This paper deals with an efficient optimization design method of a compact ultra wideband (UWB) filter which can improve the characteristics of the filter. The Evolution Strategy (ES) algorithm is adopted for the optimization and modified to suppress the ripple by inserting an additional step to the ES scheme. The algorithm has the ability to control the ripple of an insertion loss in a passband as a modified approach. During the modified ES, a structure of initial shape is changed a lot, while includes the stepped impedance (SI) and the composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). And an optimized filter satisfies the UWB specifications on the stopband and passband with an acceptable insertion loss. The filter achieves a much developed shape, the size of $15{\times}14mm$, the 3dB bandwidth from 2.7 to 10.8GHz, the flat insertion-loss less than 1dB, the wide stopband with 12~20GHz, and an acceptable return loss.

This paper presents a new configuration of dielectric bandpass filter using the comb-line filter design theory. This filter is composed of a homogeneous dielectric monoblock $(\varepsilonr=35.5)$ with two metal post and a dielectric sheet $(\varepsilonr=9.8).$ In this structure, the RF leakage is suppressed without other shield housing. For the fabricated filter, insertion loss value in the passband region was 0.9dB(Max.) and return loss value was 19dB(Min). Also, this filter has a attenuation pole in the stopband.

In this paper, We has proposed two DGS(Defected Ground Structure) resonators and designed the low-pass filter using the proposed DGS types. This structure consists of two rectangular slots, a ‘II type’ slot on the ground plane, and the stub at the transmission line. It has strong advantages that can vary the return loss at the passband freely and also can easily tune the attenuation pole frequency at the stopband. For enhancing the poor skirt property at the cutoff frequency of the Single Stub ‘II Type’ DGS cell, we have obtained the steep slope attenuation characteristic by combining the rectangular slot on both sides of the DGS. This type of the LPF with the proposed structure can be made more smaller than the existing filters and be used to find the various applications for eliminating the hamonics and spurious mode at WLL and the 2.4 GHz ISM band systems.

This paper has been proposed a structure composed of FIRs and IIR filters as digital interpolation filter to integrate the off-chip analog low-pass filter of audio DAC. The passband ripple (>$0.41{\times}fs$), passband attenuation(>at$0.41{\times}fs$) and stopband attenuation(<$0.59{\times}fs$) of the ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator output using the proposed digital interpolation filter had ${\pm}0.001[dB]$, -0.0025[dB] and -75[dB], respectively. Also the inband group delay was 30.07/fs[s] and the error of group delay was 0.1672%. Also, the attenuation of stopband has been increased -20[dB] approximately at 65[kHz], out-of-band. Therefore the RC products of analog low-pass filter on chip have been decreased compared with the conventional digital interpolation filter structure.
