In this paper, fully embedded and miniaturized diplexer device has been developed and characterized for dual-band/mode CDMA handset applications. The size of the embedded diplexer is significantly reduced by embedding high Q circular spiral inductors and high DK MIM capacitors into a low cost organic package substrate. The fabricated diplexer has insertion losses and isolations of -0.5 and -23 dB at 824-894 MHz and -0.7 and -22 dB at 1850-1990 MHz, respectively. Its size is $3.9mm{\times}3.9mm{\times}0.77mm$. The fabricated diplexer is the smallest one which is fully embedded into a low cost organic package substrate.

In this paper, a novel embedded ultra wideband (UWB) band-pass filter is presented on a FR-4 package substrate including high Dk resin coated copper (${\varepsilon}_r=30$) film. The proposed UWB filter is comprised of a parallel resonator with meander-type uniform impedance resonator (UIR) and two series resonators with high Q circular stacked spiral inductor and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. In order to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics by generating attenuation poles in lower and upper stop bands, a single MIM capacitor is added to each resonator. The fabricated FR-4 embedded UWB filter has insertion loss of -1.0dB and return loss of -11dB, respectively. It has also extremely wide bandwidth (over 50%) and small size ($3.7{\times}4{\times}0.77\;mm^3$) which is compatible with LTCC devices.

In this paper, fully embedded high Dk BTO MIM capacitors have been developed into a multi-layered organic package substrate for low cost RF SOP (System on Package) applications. These embedded MIM capacitors were designed and simulated by using CST 3D EM simulators for finding out optimal geometries and verifying their applicability. The embedded MIM capacitor with a size of $550\;{\times}\;550\;um^2$ has a capacitance of 5.3pF and quality factor of 43 at 1.5 GHz, respectively. The measured performance characteristics were well matched with 3D EM simulated ones. Equivalent circuit parameters of the embedded capacitors were extracted for making a design library.

In this paper, fully embedded 2.4GHz WLAN band pass filter (BPF) was investigated into a multi-layered organic packaging substrate using high Q spiral stacked inductors and high Dk MIM capacitors for low cost RF System on Package (SOP) applications. The proposed 2.4GHz WLAN BPF was designed by modifying chebyshev second order filter circuit topology. It was comprised of two parallel LC resonators for obtaining two transmission zeros. It was designed by using 2D circuit and 3D EM simulators for finding out optimal geometries and verifying their applicability. It exhibited an insertion loss of max -1.7dB and return loss of min -l7dB. The two transmission zeros were observed at 1.85 and 6.7GHz, respectively. In the low frequency band of $1.8GHz{\sim}1.9GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -23dB was achieved. In the high frequency band of $4.1GHz{\sim}5.4GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -l8dB was obtained. It was the first embedded and the smallest one of the filters formed into the organic packaging substrate. It has a size of $2.2{\times}1.8{\times}0.77mm^3$.
