In this paper, the characteristics of the inductor and capacitor, which are the basic components of the circuit, are constructed in a form that can be used in the LTCC multilayer. The inductors and capacitors used for the analysis were designed with rectangular spiral structures and MIM structures inside dielectrics with a dielectric constant of 7, respectively. The measured results were extracted from each element of the equivalent circuit proposed by the curve fitting method and verified the validity of the proposed equivalent circuit based on the extracted results. The analyzed inductor and capacitor were implemented in the form of library and proved its usefulness by applying to Elliptical type 5th LPF design. The LPF was measured through practical production, and as a result, the insertion loss in the passband DC ~ 3.7 GHz was up to 1.0 dB, the return loss was 19.2 dB, and the attenuation in the rejection band was 23.9 dB, which was close to the design goal.

For the purpose of Application to the small radar sensor, the MMIC Chip, which is the core component of the W-band, was designed in Korea according to the characteristics of the transceiver and manufactured by 0.1㎛ GaAs pHEMT process, and compared with the MMIC chip purchased overseas. The noise figure of low noise amplifier, insertion loss of the switch and image rejection performance of the down-converted mixer MMIC chip showed better characteristics than those of commercial chips. The MMIC chip developed in domestic was applied to the transmitter and receiver through W-band waveguide low loss transition structure design and impedance matching to verify the performance after the fabrication is 9.17 dB, which is close to the analysis result. As a result, it is judged that the transceiver can be applied to the small radar sensor better than the MMIC chip purchased overseas.

In this.paper, we introduce design and implementation results of the single balanced diode mixer for European point-to-point microwave radio in order to improve flatness performance. When a resonator such as RF filter is integrated with a mixer, impedance characteristic of 50 ohm is maintained only in RF band, not in LO band resulting deterioration of flatness performance because of LO power variation on the diode. In the paper, we suggest a design method of mixer integrated with image rejection filter and LO harmonic filter to have a better performance of flatness using embedding electrical length between filter and mixer's port. Frequency specification of fabricated mixer is $21.2{\sim}22.6\;GHz$ for RF, $19.32{\sim}20.72\;GHz$ for LO and 1.88 GHz+/-50 MHz for IF, respectively. Measured results show conversion loss of 8.5 dB, flatness of 2 dB, input PldB of 8 dBm, IIP3 of 15 dBm under LO power level of 10 dBm. Return losses of RF, LO and IF port are under -12 dB, -10 dB and -5 dB, respectively. Isolations of LO/RF and LO/IF are 20 dB and 50 dB, respectively.

In this paper, the design and imprlementation of dual-band power amplifier which is used as a critical part for mobile phone to be simultaneously working at a dual band, 800MHz CDAM and PCS frequency band is described. DC operating point of power FET is limited to Class-B to enable long talk time considering that the tyupical power range of CDMA phones in working is around 10 to Class-B to enable long talk time considering that the typical power range of CDMA phones in working is around 10 to 15dBm, i.e., liner range. The power amplifier which employs two GaAs FETs with good linerity at a low operating point has duplexer cuplexer circuit to separate two frequency bands at input and output stage. Electromagnetic analysis for via holes and coupling between narrow transmission lines is included to design a circuit. Moduld size of 0.96CC($22{\times}14.5{\times}3mm^3$) and maximum module current of 130mA at output power range, 10 to 15dBm are attained. The power amplifer module has achieved ACPR performance with 2 to 3dB marging from IS-95 requirement at output powers, 23.5dBm for PCS and 28dBm for 800MHz CDMA respectively.

This paper presents an analog front-end for electroencephalogram(EEG) signal processing. Since EEG signals are typically weak and located at very low frequencies, it is imperative to implement an amplifier with high gain, high common-mode rejection ratio(CMRR) and good noise immunity at very low frequencies. The analog front-end of this paper consists of a programmable-gain instrumentation amplifier and a band-pass filter. A frequency chopping technique is employed to remove the low-frequency noise. The circuits were fabricated in 0.18um CMOS technology and measurements showed that the analog front-end has the maximum gain of 60dB and >100dB CMRR over the programmable gain range.

By incorporating a polarization-diversity loop configuration, we have demonstrated the inline switching of transmission and reflection spectra of one of two short-period fiber gratings (SPFGs) with different resonance wavelengths without reconfiguring the filter structure. The proposed filtering apparatus consists of a fiber-pigtailed polarization beam splitter, two SPFGs, and three quarter-wave plates (QWPs). The proposed filter can independently choose the transmission or reflection spectrum of each SPFG through the appropriate adjustment of the orientation angles of the QWPs within the filter without additional optical switches and couplers. The average insertion loss, band rejection ratio, and side-mode suppression ratio of the fabricated filter were measured as ~4.59, ~17.88, and ~19.67dB, respectively.

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.

Simple practical design method is proposed for the waffle-iron waveguide filter. The design procedure comprises two steps. The first step is to calculate the K-inverter based on the transformed ABCD parameter from the S parameter for the single window of waffle-iron structure by use of EM S/W tool. The second step is to optimize the size of the windows such that the calculated K inverters may be in accord with the distributed constant prototype filter. In order to validate the design method, a waffle-iron filter for satellite communications over the Ka band is designed and fabricated. The measured results are in good agreement with the calculated ones.

In this study, contains Design and Simulation data for Tone filter applied to the KSLV-1 FTS Receiver. Received Signal contains unwanted Noise and Jitter which should be eliminated by any kind of filters. In the design of KSLV-1 FTS Receiver, two different type of filters are used. One is Low-Pass Filter for rejecting high order harmonics and another is Tone Filter for sorting pure original signal in the mixed demodulate Signals. For the purpose of this development, various kinds of filter are studied and simulated for finding adequate type of filter.

This paper presents a novel bandpass filter design method for suppressing spurious response in the GSM band and effectively reducing the overall size with the unbalanced-conditioned metamaterials. Compared to the conventional bandpass filters based on half-or quarter-wave resonators, the CRLH(composite right/left-handed) bandpass filter works excellently in harmonic-suppression by 40$\sim$50 dB and 80 %-miniaturization using the zero-order resonators bridged by Inductive-coupling Inverters suggested first time. The proposed technique, with the equivalent circuit and dispersion diagram, is validated by performance predictions and experiments.
