본 연구에서는 작은 삽입손실을 구현하기 위해 적용되는 SPUDT 중에서 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 좋은 성능을 가지는 DART와 EWC/SPUDT형 SAW 필터에 대해서 그 효용성을 Smith 등가회로 해석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그리고 apodization weighting된 SAW 필터에 단순히 SPUOT를 적용하였을 때 발생하는 일부 특성열화를 보상하기 위한 방법으로, 이 두 종류 SPUDT의 폭이 넓은 전극에 대한 weighting을 독립적으로 행하였고 전극두께를 조절하여 성능변화를 보았다. 그 결과로 동일 전극길이를 갖는 경우에는 EWC/SPUDT형 SAW 필터가 DART형 SAW 필터보다 삽입손실이 더 작으나 리플이 크고, apodization weighting된 SAW필터에 SPUDT를 적용한 경우에는 전반적으로 DART형 SAW 필터가 EWC/SPUDT형 SAW 필터보다 우수한 성능을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 특정 형태의 SAW 필터에 SPUDT를 적용하는 문제에 있어서 적절한 SPUDT의 타입을 결정하는데 도움을 주리라 기대된다.

일반적 인 SAW 필터에서 발생하는 선형성의 한계 및 천이대역의 특성을 개선하기 위한 새로운 구조의 이중구조 사다리형 SAW 필터의 최적 설계 방법을 제시하고 그 가능성을 확인하였다. 이중구조 SAW 필터는 일반적인 사다리형 필터의 구조를 바탕으로 하되, 두 개의 서로 다른 필터가 각각 주어진 대역사양을 반반씩 만족시켜 전체의 필터특성이 구현될 수 있도록 하였다. 특히 고주파 대역에서 만족시키기 어려운 정재파비 및 뛰어난 천이대역 특성을 만족시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 이를 위해 withdrawal 가중기법 및 기판상에 encp화된 마이크로 스티 립라인 인덕터를 이용하였다. 우선 이중 구조 필터구조를 결정한 후, microstrip 라인 인덕터의 위치 및 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 필터특성 변화를 살펴보았으며, 필터의 각종 형상변수의 변화에 따른 필터 특성변화를 조사하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 새로운 방법의 이중구조 SAW 필터의 설계방법을 제시하였으며 그 타당성을 검증하기 위해 1.8 GHz 대역의 RF 필터에 대한 설계 결과를 나타내었다.

In this work, a mathematical modeling of SAW coupled mode in SAW resonator filter, which is very useful in analyzing the characteristics of periodic electrode structure such as SAW reflective array and inter-digital transducers. was considered by mathematical analytic approach. The design and simulation method for resonator filter was also proposed by equivalent transduction matrix using this mathematical modeling. In order for a designer to simulate, and to design the coupled mode SAW resonator filters effectively that could be applied to mobile communication system, a design simulator for coupled mode filter was implemented by graphic user interface, and it was investigated by designing and analyzing practical SAW coupled mode resonator filter from a view point of application of this simulator.

고주파화로 진행되고 있는 이동통신에서 사용주파수대가 고주파화로 향해감에 따라, 시스템은 소형화, 고기능화가 요구된다. 이러한 요구상황에 SAW 필터가 부응하기 위해서는 삽입손실 개선, Submicron 전극제작기술, 소형화를 위한 면실장기술 등이 앞으로 해결해 나아가야할 과제라고 생각된다. 이상으로 SAW 필터는 그 우수한 특성으로 앞으로 이동통신용 핵심부품으로 발전해 갈 것으로 생각된다. 이에 발맞추어 새로운 기술 향상과 신규시장에 대응하는 시기 적절한 상품화가 주된 관건이며, 국내업체는 위에 기술한 상황에 신속한 대응이 있어야만 세계 시장경쟁에서 살아남을 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Of various SPUDT SAW filter types, we select the two most common types, DART and EWC/SPUDT, and analyze their performance with the Smith equivalent circuit method. Based on the results for an exemplary case, a usual apodized SAW filter, we investigate the advantage of one type over the other, if any, in a quantitative manner. To compensate for the performance degradation that can happen in the process of the modification of the apodized filer to the SPUDT structure, we apply the triangular weighting technique to wide fingers of the IDT. Further, the variation in performance of the SPUDT structure is investigated in relation to its electrode thickness and the number of fingers. The results in this paper are expected to enable us to easily select an SPUDT type appropriate for each particular application field.

This paper proposes a new improved lumped element equivalent circuit analysis method to analyze withdrawal weighted SAW resonators of irregular electrode configurations, which enables to calculate the frequency response of withdrawal weighted SAW resonators. This method has led to the derivation of Smith equivalent circuit's y-parameters for a single ground electrode and formulated the resonator's admittance by calculating the total current into an IDT assembly. To illustrate the effectiveness of the technique, this method was applied to the design of a simple ladder filter and the change of the filter performance was investigated in relation to the weighting of the series and parallel resonators, respectively. The results shows that the withdrawal weighted resonator ladder filters provide better performance in their bandwidth and transition characteristics than normal ones. This new equivalent circuit analysis method can also serve as a better tool to design and analyze general SAW resonator filters.

Design of SAW ladder filters has been performed by a rather trial and error method, that is, by modifying the design variables step by step until designed performance of the filter satisfies given specifications. In this work, optimal design method has been developed that automatically determines the detailed pattern of the SAW ladder filter to meet the specification once desired performance is given. As a first step for the development, the analysis tool for the SAW ladder filter has been produced by means of the Smith equivalent circuit analysis technique, and its validity has been verified through comparison of its calculation result with experimental data. With the analysis tool, we have investigated the performance variation of the filter with the change of its design factors, and the result has led to the optimal design algorithm. Validity and efficiency of the algorithm has been checked through test design of several SAW ladder filter samples on the market.

The SAW device is extensively used as a electro$.$mechanical band­pass filter in which a two­pairs of interdigital transducers are provided over the surface of the piezoelectric substrate. For the design requirement, the central frequency and the bandwidth of the passband, and the attenuation level of the stopband region are specified. The configuration is made so as to satisfy the specification given. The central frequency is mainly determined by the distance between the pair of the finger electrodes. The design is considered as an optimization problem with which the error norm, the distance between the desired characteristics and the calculated for a given model is to be minimized. The delta function model and the electrical equivalent circuit model are utilized to represent the SAW filter characteristics. Genetic algorithm is used for optimization in which apodization of the transducer fingers is chosen as a design variable.

고주파 마그네트론 스펏터링법을 이용하여 ZnO막을 제조하고 유리기판 위에 ZnO-SAW필터를 제작하였다. ZnO막의 제조 조건은 고주파 전력 150W, 기판온도 $200^{\circ}C$, 분위기압 5mTorr 및 O2/(Ar+O2)비 50%였다. 한편 IDT(Inter-digital transducer)전극은 전극 폭을 2.56mm, 전극 거리를 2,936mm, λ/8폭을 $8mu$m로 설계하였다. 제작된 ZnO-SAW필터의 주파수 응답을 측정하기 위해 소자는 mount(TO8)에 고정시켰다. ZnO SAW필터의 통과 대역(3 dB대역폭)은 345.2~44.8 MHz로 9.6MHz의 대역 폭을 나타내었으며 중심주 파수는 40 MHz를 나타내었다. 또한 삽입 손실은 39 dB, 통과 대역에서의 리플(ripple)은 $\pm$ 0.8 dB 및 rejection은 17 dB를 나타내었다.
