In this paper, a novel tunable bandpass filter using tunable series inductors and MEMS switches for wireless LAN applications was proposed. The proposed tunable filter was fabricated using a micromachining technology and performances of the fabricated filter were estimated. The filter consists of spiral inductors, MIM capacitors and direct-contact type MEMS switches, and its frequency tunability is achieved by changing the inductance that is induced by ON/OFF actuations of the MEMS switches. The actuation voltage of the MEMS switches was 58 V, and the measured center frequencies were 2.55 GHz and 5.1 GHz, respectively. The passband insertion loss and 3-dB bandwidth were 4.2 dB and 22.5 % at 2.55 GHz, and 5.2 dB and 23.5 % at 5.1 GHz, respectively.

This paper proposes an accurate tunable-gain 1/x circuit. The output voltage of the 1/x circuit is generated by using a capacitor charging time that is inversely proportional to the input voltage. The output voltage is independent of the process parameters, because the output voltage depends on the ratios of the capacitors, resistors, and current mirrors. The voltage gain of the 1/x circuit is tuned by a 10-bit digital code. The 1/x circuit was fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Its core area is $0.011mm^2$ ($144{\mu}m{\times}78{\mu}m$), and it consumes $278{\mu}W$ at $V_{DD}=1.8V$ and $f_{CLK}=1MHz$. Its error is within 1.7% at $V_{IN}=0.05V$ to 1 V.

Fully embedded tunable bandpass filter (BPF) with inductive coupling circuits is newly designed and demonstrated for UHF TV tuner ranged from 500MHz to 900MHz receivers. Conventional RF tuning circuit with an electromagnetic coupled tunable filter has several problems such as large size, high volume, and high cost, since the electromagnetic coupled filter is comprised of several passive components and air core inductors to be assembled and controlled manually. To address these obstacles, compact tunable filter with inductive coupling circuit was embedded into low cost organic package substrate. The embedded filter was optimally designed to have high performance by using high Q spiral stacked inductors, high dielectric $BaTiO_3$ composite MIM capacitors, varactor diodes. It exhibited low insertion loss of approximately -2dB, high return loss of below -10dB, and large tuning range of 56.3%. It has an extremely compact size of $3.4{\times}4.4{\times}0.5mm^3$.

본 논문에서는 통과대역을 가변하는 대역통과여파기를 제안하였다. 이 여파기의 구조는 2단 Direct Capacitive Coupled 공진기 대역통과여파기이며, 중심주파수의 가변을 위하여 여파기에 사용된 병렬 공진기의 캐패시터를 버렉터 다이오드로 대체하였다. 본 논문에서는 중심주파수 200MHz에서 최대 245MHz까지 가변되는 대역통과여파기를 제작하여 설계 이론의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{1-x}Ti_x)O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on (001) MgO single crystals using sol-gel method. Structural properties and surface morphologies of PZT films were investigated using an X-ray diffractometer and a scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The dielectric properties of PZT films were investigated with the dc bias field using interdigitated capacitors (IDC) which were fabricated on PZT films using a thick metal layer by photolithography and dry etching process. The small signal dielectric properties of PZT films were calculated by a modified conformal mapping method with low and high frequency data, such as capacitance measured by an impedance gain/phase analyzer at 100 kHz and reflection coefficient (S-parameter) measured by a HP 8510C vector network analyzer at 1 -20 GHz. The IDC on PZT films exhibited about 67% of capacitance change with an electric field of 135 kV/cm at 10 GHz. These PZT thin films can be applied to tunable microwave devices such as phase shifters, tunable resonators and tunable filters.

본 논문에서는 인위적인 커패시턴스 값의 변화에 따라서 공진 주파수가 이동하여 다중 대역을 포함하는 이중 대역 공진 주파수 변환 안테나를 제안하였다. 인위적인 커패시턴스 값의 변화는 버랙터 다이오드 조절의 선행연구로써, 칩 커패시터를 이용해 주파수 변환 범위와 안테나 특성에 관해 분석하였다. T자 모양 슬릿의 짧은 부분에 장착된 서로 다른 칩 커패시터는 안테나의 입력 임피던스의 변화를 준다. 변화된 입력 임피던스는 안테나의 방사 패턴의 변화 없이, 일정한 범위 내에서 이중 대역 공진주파수를 유지하면서 가변함을 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 제안한 안테나의 공진 주파수는 저주파 대역과 고주파 대역에서 각각 400 MHz, 200 MHz의 범위안에서 변화가 가능하다. 또한, 10 dB 반사 손실 대역폭은 저주파 대역에서 $0.78{\sim}1.21\;GHz$, 대역폭 10 MHz를 가지며, 고주파 대역에서는 $1.97{\sim}2.17\;GHz$, 대역폭 50 MHz를 가진다. 제안한 안테나는 저주파 대역에서 0 dBi, 고주파 대역에서 3 dBi의 안테나 이득을 갖는다.

We report the growth of $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$(BST) thin films and their substrate-dependent electrical characteristics. BST thin films were deposited on alumina(non-single crystal), $Al_2O_3$(100) substrates by Nd:YAG Pulsed Laser Deposition(PLD) with a 355nm wavelength at substrate temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and post-deposition annealing at $750^{\circ}C$ in flowing $O_2$ atmosphere for 1hours. BST materials had been chosen due to high dielectric permittivity and tunability for high frequency applications, To analyze the oxygen partial pressure effects, deposited films at 1, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300 mTorr. The effects of oxygen pressure on structural properties of the deposited films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and atomic force microscope(AFM), respectively. Then we manufactured a inter-digital capacitor(IDC) patterns twenty fingers and $10{\mu}m$ gap, $700{\mu}m$ length and electrical properties were characterized. The results provide a basis for understanding the growth mechanisms and basic structural and electrical properties of BST thin films as required for tunable microwave devices applications such as varactors and tunable filters.

An active-C biquadratic filter structure is proposed which consists of only seven OTAs and two grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize lowpass, bandpass and highpass transfer functions without changing circuit topology. This technique provides many advantages which include low passive and active sensitivities and, moreover, its Q-factor is electronically tunable and separately from the tuning of the natural angular frequency ${\omega}_o$. PSPICE simulation results are obtained that confirm the theoretical analysis.

본 연구에서는 유체를 유전체 재료로 사용하는 가변 커패시터를 시연하고, 자기 공명 현미경(MRM)의 코일에 적용 가능성을 알아보려고 하였다. 전극으로 이루어진 커패시터 구조는 마이크로 유체 채널과 통합하여 제작되었고, 커패시턴스는 채널 내의 유체 충전율을 변화시키면서 측정되었다. DI water와 미네랄 오일을 사용하여 측정된 커패시턴스는 1.7 pF에서 12 pF, 그리고 1.7 pF에서 2 pF으로 변하였고, 유체의 유전율에 따라 커패시턴스의 변화를 확인하였다.
