In this paper, we present a novel tunable microstrip bandpass filter based on split ring resonators (SRRs). The varactors are reverse-biased semiconductor diode, and are connected between the concentric rings of the SRR. An individual varactor loaded SRR based bandpass tunable filter module is analyzed. Then a second order tunable filter with 7% fractional bandwidth and a tuning range from 2.75 to 2.86 GHz is assembled from basic filter modules. The simulator HFSS (V10) is used to design the tunable filter and to simulate. The results show good characteristics is created.

In this paper, we proposed the new wavelength tunable filter for wide tunability of fiber ring laser. The proposed filter consists of the cascaded connection of Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Sagnac filter or of hybrid filter and Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. The simulation shows that the continuous tunable range of 50nm can be obtained and that more stable single mode operation of ring laser can be expected due to narrow FWHM. of filter spectrum.

This paper presents a tunable bandpass filter based on the varactor-loaded composite right- and left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). The proposed filter is composed of one CRLH-TL unit cell, which corresponds to the third-order bandpass filter. The tunable bandpass filter is designed using only lumped-elements. The use of lumped elements saves space and lowers the fabrication cost. The size of the proposed tunable bandpass filter is $17mm{\times}5mm$, neglecting the feed lines and DC lines. All of the varactors are controlled by one DC bias. The center frequency of the bandpass filter can be controlled by varying the value of the varactors. The tunable range of the center frequency is from 412.5 to 670 MHz. The insertion loss is less than 3 dB, the return loss is more than 10 dB in the passband.

TVWS에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있고, TVWS를 이용하는 통신시스템과 서비스에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. TVWS는 사용할 수 있는 주파수가 지역적으로 그리고 시간적으로 다르다. 때문에 TVWS를 이용하는 RF 시스템이 주파수가변 대역통과필터를 사용하면 시스템을 효과적으로 운용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하는 주파수가변 대역통과필터를 설계 및 구현하였다. 그리고 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 제어의 용이성과 크기를 고려해서 2-pole로 설계하였다. 구현한 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 제어전압을 1.58 ~ 3.93V 가변하면 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하며, 삽입손실은 최대 4.78dB, 반사손실은 10dB 이하를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 본 논문의 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 TVWS에서 동작하는 수신기에 직접 사용이 가능하며, 본 논문에서 사용한 주파수가변 대역통과필터의 설계 절차는 대전력 주파수가변 대역통과필터의 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

In this paper, a tunable bandpass filter with mutual inductive coupling circuits is newly designed and demonstrated for UHF TV tuner ranged from Ch.14(473MHz) to Ch.69(803MHz) applications. Conventional HF tuning circuit with an electromagnetic bandpass filter has several problems such as large size, high volume and high cost, since the electromagnetic filter is comprised of several passive components and air core inductors to be assembled and controlled manually. To address these obstacles, peaking chip inductor was newly applied for constructing the mutual inductive coupling circuit. The proposed circuit was newly and optimally designed, since the chip inductor showed lower components Q-value than the air core inductor. A varactor diode has been also used to fabricate the proposed tunable bandpass filter for RF tuning circuit. The fabricated tunable filter exhibited low insertion loss of approximately -3dB, high return loss of below -10dB, and large tuning bandwidth of 330MHz.

This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

본 논문에서는 Germanium 및 Germanium과 Boron이 도핑 된 광섬유의 FBG를 이용한 파장가변 형 전광 필터의 고온 특성을 고찰하고, 온도 변화에 대한 파장가변 형 FBG 필터의 반사도, 선폭, 정규화 굴절률 차의 특성 변화를 수치해석을 통해 비교 고찰 하였다. 굴절률 차의 변화에 따른 FBG 필터의 반사 스펙트럼은 온도 안정성에 영향을 받으며, Germanium이 도핑 된 광섬유의 FBG 필터가 Germanium과 Boron이 도핑 된 광섬유의 FBG 필터보다 온도변화에 더 안정성을 가짐을 알 수 있다. 또한 $500^{\circ}C$ 까지의 온도에 대해서는 두 가지 모두 필터로서 온도변화에 안정성을 가짐을 알 수 있다.

A flexible and tunable microwave photonic filter based on adjustable optical frequency comb source is demonstrated. We use a combination of a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator and an intensity modulator to generate fifteen comb lines with proper weights to implement a desired filter. The optical comb weights, corresponding to the tap coefficients of the filter, are flexibly changed by adjusting the operation parameters of the modulators. The achieved bandwidth and stopband attenuation of the tunable filter are 0.7 GHz and 20 dB, respectively. In addition, we overcome the undesired low frequency suppression appeared in a conventional scheme by applying a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator for single sideband suppressed carrier modulation.

본 논문에서는 링 레이저를 위한 새로운 광대역 파장 가변 필터를 제안하였다. 두 종류의 필터를 제안하였는데, Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer와 Sagnac필터로 구성된 것과 하이브리드 필터와 Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer로 구성된 것이다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 50nm의 연속적인 파장 가변을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 기존의 필터에 비해 파장 가변 범위가 3배에 이르면서도 FWHM이 1/3로 줄어든 통과 스펙트럼 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 링 레이저의 광대력 파장 가변 및 안정적인 단일모드 발진을 더욱 가능케 하는 중요한 특성이다.
