In this paper, two new circuit structures for European and U.S. ultra-wide band(UWB) bandpass filters(BPFs) with sharp roll-off characteristics are introduced. We show first that the ultra-wide bandpass property is obtained from a $\lambda$/4 open T resonator with a capacitively coupled $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line, which provides two attenuation poles at lower and upper cutoff frequencies. Then, two identical capacitively coupled input/output lines, which can be $\lambda$/4-length open ends or $\lambda$/2-length short ends, with the T-resonator, are adopted to suppress lower and higher frequency components outside of the pass band. There is coupling between the input and output lines providing two additional transmission zeros in the lower and upper transition bands of the filter. Since the coupling between the T-resonator with the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines limits the bandwidth of the filter to the European UWB band, both the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines are inserted between the two stacked T-resonators for the U.S. UWB band. The filter structures are simulated with ADS and HFSS and realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) green tape which has the dielectric constant of 7.8. Measurement results agree well with HFSS simulation results.

Dielectric resonator bandpass filters with various time-delay at 800MHz were designed and fabricated in this paper. from the results of this study. first of all, good response. characteristics were measured for all cases. The insertion loss was below 2dB and flatness for ripple was below 0.2dB, whereas return loss was over 20dB, respectively. The measured delay time of the fabricated prototype were 6ns, 12ns and 200s, respectively and the flatness characteristics did not exceeding Ins for all cases. Furthermore, 2~4ns of flatness were measured for 2-hole dielectric block and other dielectric resonator filters with various delay time by combination of each prototypes filters were also implemented.

This paper presents a triple-mode dielectric resonator far low loss and simple structure filter design. The BPF(Band Pass Filter) was designed using HFSS simulation results an4 fabricated using proposed resonators. The filter (3-stage BPF) has an insertion loss of about 0.9 dB at the center frequency of 1.93 GHz and a 3 dB bandwidth of about 25 MHz. If more complex characteristic is required, slot coupling between resonators can be used. Especially, the proposed BPF can be applied to the next generation mobile communication IMT-2000 system.

In this paper, NRD guide band pass filter with newly designed inductive iris structure is proposed and analyzed with its test results. In case of common NRD guide filter with air gap coupled structure, it was not easy to fabricate and process or each NRD guide dielectric resonator blocks using PTFE. However, in this our research, each dielectric resonator fabricated in a single NRD guide is coupled with inductive iris located on metal plates. The structure is suitable for mass production of a precise and reliable millimeter-wave filter applications. As a result of measurements, designed NRD guide inductive iris filter has superior performance. The pass band is 38.66~39.06 MHz with 400 MHz bandwidth, insertion loss is about 1.4 dB and return loss is below -18 dB.

Ceramic dielectric waveguide duplexer was developed. Duplexer was designed in order to minimize the muture interferences between transmission port and receive port of bandpass filter. The design method for antenna port was determined by the transmission loss and calibrated the length of resonator of recriving filter. We used the ceramic powder of dielectric constant 9.46 and installed SMD type on PCB board.

Multilayer LTCC technology enables RF modules to be reduced dramatically by taking advantage of the three dimension flexibility. Compared to a conventional two dimensional PCB, LTCC allows higher density, reduced size, and lower cost. In this research, BPF based on LTCC for 900MHz ZigBee application was implemented which can replace SAW filter with using the material of the Dupont9599's dielectric constant 7.8. And distributed baud pass filter for 900MHz ZigBee system applications is presented. Using resonator stripline and capacitance, 2nd order band pass filter was designed. Adjusting resonator's length and capacitance is easy to tune at accurate center frequency by shifting band because ZigBee system is using narrow bandwidth, $902MHz^{\sim}928MHz$. Also resonator has no limitation in space, so reducing size is possibile. Designed filter had I.L. 2.8dB at 915MHz and attenuation at 815MHz, 1015MHz was 16dB, 15dB, respectively. Therefore, the sharpe cut-off and good insertion loss for ZigBee system application.

In this paper, we proposed a new type SIR bandpass filter using DAMLs. This filter is consisted of 2 layers with MEMS resonator layer and CPW feed line. DAMLs ring resonator is elevated with $10{\mu}m$ height from GaAs substrate. Using MEMS processing, we are able to realize SIR bandpass filter easily. Furthermore it is useful to integrate on conventional MMICs because it has CPW interfaces and ring resonator is isolated from substrate by air-gap. We optimized and measured the results that $S_{21}$ attenuation at rejected band is over 15 dB, insertion loss is inside the limit of 3 dB, and relative bandwidth is about $10\%$ at 60 GHz.
