This paper introduces a new U.S. ultra-wideband(UWB: 3.1~10.6 GHz) 1:2 power divider based on a single section Wilkinson type configuration. The divider provides very flat in-band power splitting, high isolation, low insertion loss, sharp roll-off bandpass filtering, and DC blocking characteristics. The circuit consists of a $\lambda$/4 Y resonator, three capacitively coupled $\lambda$/2 short-circuited lines, and a resistor between the two output ports. The circuit structure was simulated with ADS and HFSS, and realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) green tape, which has a dielectric constant of 7.8. $|S_{11}|$ better than 10 dB, $|S_{21}|$ and $|S_{31}|$ less than 3.2 dB, with both $|S_{22}|$ and $|S_{32}|$ measured as better than 12 dB for the whole UWB band. Measurement results agree closely with HFSS simulation results. The power divider has a compact size of $4\times9\times0.6mm^3$.

This paper presents the filter of a resonator comprising a shorted open gap ring(SOGR) and interdigital lines. The proposed filter has the ultra wideband characteristic operating from 3 GHz to 10.5 GHz. In order to achieve the remarkable improvement in the size-reduction of the overall filter structure, only one cell of the SOGR with the inter-digital lines is adopted. It is shown that this filter has the size of $18mm{\times}15mm$ using a metamaterial, the fractional bandwidth over 100%, the insertion loss much less than 1dB, an acceptable return loss performance in the results.

An ultra-wideband low-noise amplifier is proposed with operation up to 8.2 GHz. The amplifier is fabricated with a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process and adopts a two-stage cascode architecture and a simplified Chebyshev filter for high gain, wide band, input-impedance matching, and low noise. The gain of 19.2 dB and minimum noise figure of 3.3 dB are measured over 3.4 to 8.2 GHz while consuming 17.3 mW of power. The Proposed UWB LNA achieves a measured power-gain bandwidth product of 399.4 GHz.

A compact microstrip band-selective filter for ultra-wideband (UWB) radio system is proposed. The filter combines the traditional short-circuited stub highpass filter and coupled resonator bandstop filter on both sides of the mitered 50-ohm microstrip line. To realize the pseudo-highpass filtering characteristic over UWB frequency band (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz), a distributed highpass filter scheme is adopted. Three coupled resonators are utilized to obtain the band stop function at the desired frequency band. By meandering the coupled resonators, there is 29% reduction in footprint compared to the traditional bandstop filter using L-shaped resonators. The measured results show that the filter has a wide passband of 146.7 % (2.1 GHz to 10.15 GHz) with low insertion loss and the stop band of 7.42 % (5.32 GHz to 5.73 GHz) for 3-dB bandwidth. The measured group delay is less than 0.7 ns within the passband except the rejection band.

In this paper, a novel ultra-wide band filter which is operating at frequency bands from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz is suggested. It is modified from the conventional ring filter and consisted of a ring with two parallel open-stub with length of ${\lambda}/8$. It improves the sharpness of the conventional ring filter and is compact. The measured results show that the fabricated filter has a insertion loss of 2.1 dB and the measured group delay of the filter is less than 463 ps through UWB frequency bands.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.3a의 초광대역(Ultra Wideband: UWB) 시스템용 직접 변환 혼합기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 직접 변환 방식을 사용하는 UWB 혼합기는 dc offset, 2차 고조파 왜곡 등을 발생시키는데, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 역병렬 다이오드 쌍을 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 $3.1\~4.8$ GHz 동위상 전력분배기와 $1.5\~2.4$ GHz 광대역 $45^{\circ}$ 위상 분배기 설계를 위하여 결합선로를 이용한 새로운 월킨슨 분배기를 제안하였다. 역병렬 다이오드 구조와 광대역 소자를 이용한 혼합기의 제작 결과는 주파수 변환 손실이 약 18 dB, input third order intercept point($IIP_3$)는 약 15 dBm, 그리고 1-dB gain compression point($P_{1dB}$)는 2 dBm으로 측정되었다. I/Q 출력 양단 간의 전력오차는 0.5 dB, 그리고 위상오차는 ${\times}3^{\circ}$를 지닌 초광대역 쿼드러쳐 혼합기로 동작하였다.

In this paper, a highly miniaturized and performed UWB bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive elements into a multi-layered PCB substrate with high dielectric $SrTiO_3$ composite film for 3.1 - 4.75 GHz compact UWB system applications. The high dielectric composite film was utilized to increase the capacitance densities and quality factors of capacitors embedded into the PCB. In order to reduce the size of the filter and avoid parasitic EM coupling between the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a $3^{rd}$ order Chebyshev circuit topology and a capacitive coupled transformation technology. Independent transmission zeros were also applied for improving the attenuation of the filter at the desired stopbands. The measured insertion and return losses in the passband were better than 1.68 and 12 dB, with a minimum value of 0.78 dB. The transmission zeros of the measured response were occurred at 2.2 and 5.15 GHz resulting in excellent suppressions of 31 and 20 dB at WLAN bands of 2.4 and 5.15 GHz, respectively. The size of the fabricated bandpass filter was $2.9{\times}2.8{\times}0.55(H)mm^3$.

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.

본 논문에서는 초광대역(UWB: Ultra-Wideband) 무선 통신 시스템에 적합한 소형의 마이크로스트립 대역 저지 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 필터는 $50{\Omega}$ 마이크로스트립 선로 좌측에 단락 스터브(short-circuited)를 이용한 고역 필터와 우측에 결합 공진기를 이용한 대역 저지 필터를 합성하였다. 3.1 GHz에서 10.6 GHz까지의 초광대역 특성을 갖는 고역 필터를 설계하기 위해서 the mixed lumped/distributed(L/D) 방법을 이용하였다. 또한 원하는 주파수 대역의 협대역 저지 필터를 설계하기 위해서 3개의 결합 공진기(coupled resonator)를 이용하였다. 공진기를 미앤더(meander) 형태로 구현함으로써 L-형태의 공진기에 비해 면적을 $29\%$ 정도 소형화시켰다. 측정 결과 3-dB 삽입 손실을 기준으로 $146.7\;\%(2.1\;GHz{\sim}10.15\;GHz)$의 광대역 통과 특성을 얻었으며 $10.04\;\%(5.2\;GHz{\sim}5.75\;GHz)$의 저지 대역을 나타내었다. 측정된 군 지연(group delay) 특성은 저지 대역을 제외한 주파수 대역에서 0.7 ns 미만이다.
