We propose a novel spatial multi-band-stop filter using modified multiple loop array elements to block electromagnetic waves or signals of mobile phones in public facilities. It operates at the following frequency bands: Korean cellular (824 MHz to 894 MHz), Personal Communication Service (PCS) (1.75 GHz to 1.87 GHz), and IMT-2000 (1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz). Two frequency selective surfaces with modified multiple-loop elements are printed on the top and bottom of a pair-glass pane, which is a pair of glass panes with an air gap between them. A modified multiple-loop element with a meander line is used to make the size of the filter compact. The simulated and measured results show good agreement, which confirms the usefulness of the proposed tri-band spatial filter.

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 $2.2{\times}1.8{\times}0.77mm^3$.

In this paper, We proposed compact multi-layer LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) bandpass filter for Bluetooth module. A ${\lambda}/4$ coupled stripline resonators are designed, which composed of coupled strip-line section and loading capacitance. This resonator with a loading capacitor has slow-wave characteristics. Due to the slow-wave effect of the proposed resonator, it is possible to design and fabricate a compact bandpass filter with a wide upper stop band. Attenuation poles in the lower stop band are achieved using controlling of electro-magnetic coupling between resonators. Using multi-layer LTCC technology, we designed and fabricated band pass filter with a finite attenuation pole and wide upper stopband. The overall size of the filter is $1.2{\times}2.0{\times}1.0mm^3$.

Radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been pursued for more than a decade as a solution of high-performance on-chip fixed, tunable and reconfigurable circuits. This paper reviews our research work on RF MEMS switches and switching circuits in the past five years. The research work first concentrates on the development of lateral DC-contact switches and capacitive shunt switches. Low insertion loss, high isolation and wide frequency band have been achieved for the two types of switches; then the switches have been integrated with transmission lines to achieve different switching circuits, such as single-pole-multi-throw (SPMT) switching circuits, tunable band-pass filter, tunable band-stop filter and reconfigurable filter circuits. Substrate transfer process and surface planarization process are used to fabricate the above mentioned devices and circuits. The advantages of these two fabrication processes provide great flexibility in developing different types of RF MEMS switches and circuits. The ultimate target is to produce more powerful and sophisticated wireless appliances operating in handsets, base stations, and satellites with low power consumption and cost.

This paper presents a CPW-fed antenna with three slots. The proposed antenna can operate at 1.9~2.1 GHz and 2.9~3.3 GHz which are generated by the two rectangular slots, and 4.5~11.6 GHz which is generated by the main patch. The semicircle-slot is used as a band-notched filter to stop at a desired band (5.150~5.825 GHz) limited by IEEE 802.11a or HIPERLAN/2 applications. The currents concentrate around corresponding slots at the desired band. The proposed antenna is very small in size, with overall dimensions of $27{\times}32{\times}1\;mm^3$ etched onto an FR4-printed circuit board (PCB).

본 논문에서는 $2.3{\sim}2.4$ GHz 대역 무선 휴대 단말기용 내장형 MIMO 안테나 시스템의 격리도를 향상시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 MIMO 안테나 시스템은 2개의 안테나 사이의 그라운드 기판에 다수 개의 L-slot으로 구성된 multi-slots를 위치시키며, multi-slots가 대역 차단 필터처럼 작용하여 안테나 간의 상호 결합을 억제시켜 격리도를 향상시킨다. 6쌍의 L-slots를 채택한 MIMO 안테나 시스템은 -26.4 dB의 반사 손실과 -37.5 dB의 격리도를 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 기생 소자의 커플링 현상을 이용하여 다중 대역 특성을 나타내기 위한 평면형 모노폴 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 안테나는 단일 공진이 발생하는 사각 패치를 기본으로 다중 대역 특성을 얻기 위해 기생 소자를 삽입하였다. 기생 소자는 안테나 크기의 소형화와 다중 공진 특성을 나타내기 위해 스파이럴 구조를 사용하였으며, 각각의 설계 파라미터들을 이용하여 주파수 특성을 최적화 시켰다. 또한, via-hole을 통해 접지면에 연결된 L자 형태의 공진기를 급전선 양쪽에 삽입함으로써 서비스 대역 이외에 사용되지 않는 주파수 대역을 차단하였다. 사용된 기판은 크기가 $40{\times}60{\times}1mm^3$이고, 비유전율 4.4인 FR-4 기판 위에 설계되었으며, 급전은 임피던스 $50{\Omega}$의 마이크로스트립 선로를 사용하였다. 측정 결과, 1.714~2.496 GHz, 2.977~4.301 GHz, 4.721~6.315 GHz 대역에서 -10 dB 이하의 반사 손실 특성을 나타냈으며, 전방향의 방사 패턴을 나타냈다.
