A switchable single-wideband (SWB)-to-dual-wideband (DWB) bandpass filter (BPF), which is realized by using lumped switches, is presented in this paper. By alternating the operation modes-ON and OFF-in which the ON mode is achieved by placing the capacitors at the switching spots and the OFF mode is achieved by replacing the capacitors with inductors, DWB-to-SWB BPF can be achieved on the same device. In addition, by changing the capacitor values, the center frequency (CF) of the lower passband of DWB BPF can be easily tuned from 1.69 GHz to 2.22 GHz, while the higher passband stays almost unchanged. As an example, an SWB-to-DWB BPF is designed, fabricated, and measured. This BPF exhibits good performance including wideband, high isolation, compact size, and ability to switch.

본 논문에서는 중심주파수 30 GHz에서 3 dB 대역폭(fractional bandwidth)이 50 % 이상인 마이크로스트립 대역통과필터(BPF)를 구현하였다. 구현된 BPF는 10 Gb/s 무선전송 THz 송수신기를 위한 IF 대역에서의 ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) 방식 송수신용 필터로서 이용하고자 한다. 초광대역 특성을 갖는 마이크로스트립 BPF는 스텝 임피던스 저역통과필터(LPF)와 합성된 ${\lambda}_g/4$ 단락 스터브로 구성되며, LPF는 BPF의 상위 저지대역을 감쇠시키기 위해 사용되었고, ${\lambda}_g/4$ 단락 스터브는 하위 저지대역을 감쇠시키기 위해 사용되었다. 합성 BPF의 측정 결과, 중심주파수 30 GHz에서 삽입손실은 0.65 dB, 10 GHz와 50 GHz에서 저지 특성은 각각 -10 dB와 -16 dB이며, 20~40 GHz 통과대역에서 평탄도는 ${\pm}0.5$ dB로 측정되었다.

Herein, we present a compact transversal bandpass filter (BPF) with an extremely wide upper stopband and multiple transmission zeros (TZ). Three signal transmission paths with shorted stubs and open-coupled lines allow signal transmission from input port to output port. Two resonant modes can be excited simultaneously and managed easily for bandpass response. Eleven TZs are achieved via transmission path cancelation; an extremely wide upper stopband with an attenuation level better than -12 dB is achieved up to 11.7 f0, where f0 is the center frequency (CF). In addition, bandwidth and CF can be controlled by adjusting electrical lengths. For proof of concept, a wideband BPF centered at 1.04 GHz with 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 49.2% was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The overall circuit measures 0.045λg × 0.117λg; good agreement was observed between the measured and simulated results.

This paper presents a design method for a wideband bandpass filter (BPF) which compensates for frequency dependency based on the image admittance and image phase. In the proposed method, new compensation methods for the admittance and phase are integrated with the conventional method. The proposed method improves the frequency shift and reduces the unwanted bandwidth when designing more than 20% of the Fractional Bandwidth (FBW), whereas the conventional method exhibits frequency degradation at only 10% FBW. The proposed design theory was verified by applying it to both lumped elements and distributed lines through circuit simulation and measurements without an optimization process. The measurement results demonstrate improvements in the frequency shift and target bandwidth. In the future, an accurate design method based on frequency dependence can be implemented for the next-generation broadband communication system applications.

A new wideband bandstop filter(BSF) with a sharp roll-off characteristic is introduced in a stripline structure in this paper. The BSF consists of two sections: the first is two capacitively coupled $\lambda/4$ short-circuited lines with opposite ground positions, while the second is a capacitively coupled $\lambda/4$ short-circuited line. The BSF provides three transmission zeros within the stopband and better than 22 dB rejection over the whole wireless local area network (WLAN) band from 5.15 to 5.825 GHz. The BSF, cascaded to an U.S. ultra-wideband(UWB: 3.1~10.6 GHz) band-pass filter(BPF), is simulated with HFSS and realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) green tape with a dielectric constant of 7.8. The measurement results agree well with the HFSS simulation results. The size of the UWB BPF including the BSF is $3{\times}6.3\times0.45\;mm^3$.

This paper presents a tri-wideband bandpass filter (TWB-BPF) with compact size, high band-to-band isolation, and multiple transmission zeros (TZs). The proposed TWB-BPF is based on a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), which is interpreted by the method of the even- and odd-mode analysis technique. The MMR can excite 11 resonant modes, where the first two modes comprise the first passband, the next four modes form the second passband, and the last five modes are used to generate the third passband. In addition, 10 TZs are yielded to obtain high band-to-band isolation and wide stopband suppression characteristics up to $14.95f_{c1}$ ($f_{c1}$ is the center frequency of the first passband). To verify the proposed filter, a TWB-BPF with 3-dB fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 37.4%, 43.5%, and 40.4% is designed, fabricated, and measured.

본 논문에서는 서브샘플링 기법을 이용한 직접변환 수신단에 이용할 수 있는 광대역 증폭기와 높은 Q-factor 값을 가지는 대역통과 필터(BPF) 회로를 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 구현하였다. 광대역 증폭기는 5.4GHz의 대역폭 및 12dB의 파워 이득 특성을 가지며, 대역통과필터는 2.4GHz Bluetooth 규격에서 동작할 수 있도록 설계하였다. RF 신호가 안테나를 통해 광대역 증폭기와 BPF를 통과한 후의 주파수응답 측정결과를 살펴보면, 2.34GHz에서 18.8dB의 파워이득파 31MHz의 대역폭을 갖는다. 이는 대역통과 필터의 Q-factor 값이 75로써 매우 높은 선택도(selectivity) 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 전체 칩은 8.6dB의 noise-figure 특성과 대역폭 내에서 -12dB 이하의 입력 임피던스 매칭 (S11) 특성을 보이며, 전력소모는 1.8V 단일 전원전압으로부터 64.8mW 이고, 칩 면적은 $1.0{\times}1.0mm2$ 이다.

A microstrip dual-wideband bandpass filter using a multimode resonator (MMR) is proposed in this letter. The proposed MMR loaded with a T-shaped open-ended stub and a short-ended stub exhibits triple mode characteristics, and a synthesis method is developed to illustrate the wide passband with independently controllable center frequencies and bandwidths. To verify this design methodology, a dual-wideband filter with fractional bandwidths of 19.1% and 27.9% is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree with the simulations.

본 논문에서는 3~5 GHz의 동작 주파수를 가지는 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS 저전력/광대역 저잡음 증폭기 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 광대역 저잡음 증폭기는 광대역 입력 정합, 발룬 기능, 그리고 우수한 노이즈 특성을 얻기 위해 노이즈 제거 회로 구조를 채택하였다. 특히, 2차 LC-대역 통과 필터를 증폭기의 부하로 구현함으로써 기존에 발표된 문헌들보다 최소 전력을 소모하면서 높은 전력 이득과 낮은 잡음 지수를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 저잡음 증폭기는 1.8 V 공급 전압으로부터 단지 3.94 mA의 전류를 소모하며, 모의 실험 결과, 3~5 GHz UWB 대역에서 전력 이득은 최소 +17 dB 이상, 잡음 지수는 최대 +4 dB 이하, 그리고 입력 IP3는 -15.5 dBm을 가진다.
