본 논문에서는 한쪽이 단락된 스트립선로(Stripline)와 Loading 캐패시턴스(Capacitance)로 구성된 새로운 형태의 1/4파장 스트립선로 공진기를 제안하였으며, 이 공진기를 이용해서 5.2 GHz 대역 무선 LAN용 적층 대역통과 여파기를 설계, 제작 하였다. 제안한 공진기의 전파지연효과(Slow-wave Effect) 때문에, 기존의 공진기에 비해서 길이가 축소되며, 기준 공진주파수(Fundamental Resonant Frequency)에 대한, 첫 번째 기생공진주파수(First Spurious Resonant Frequency) 값이 커지기 때문에, 넓은 상향저지대역(Wide Upper Stopband)을 갖는 초소형의 대역통과 여파기의 설계가 가능하다. 설계한 여파기를 LTCC 적층 공정 기술을 이용하여 제작하였으며 그 크기는 $3.2mm{\times}1.6mm{\times}0.8mm$ 이다.

In this paper, the power added efficiency(PAE) of a Doherty amplifier has been improved by applying Photonic Bandgap(PBG) characteristics on the output of amplifier. As a result of the high order harmonics termination, excellent improvement in PAE, maximum output power as well as linearity is obtained. The PAE is improved as much as relatively 35% compared with a conventional Doherty amplifier. Moreover, size of LPF is reduced by PBG characteristics. Therefore the whole amplifier circuit size is considerably reduced by diminishing in size of the LPF as compared with a Doherty amplifier using conventional LPFs.

A compact microstrip band-selective filter for ultra-wideband (UWB) radio system is proposed. The filter combines the traditional short-circuited stub highpass filter and coupled resonator bandstop filter on both sides of the mitered 50-ohm microstrip line. To realize the pseudo-highpass filtering characteristic over UWB frequency band (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz), a distributed highpass filter scheme is adopted. Three coupled resonators are utilized to obtain the band stop function at the desired frequency band. By meandering the coupled resonators, there is 29% reduction in footprint compared to the traditional bandstop filter using L-shaped resonators. The measured results show that the filter has a wide passband of 146.7 % (2.1 GHz to 10.15 GHz) with low insertion loss and the stop band of 7.42 % (5.32 GHz to 5.73 GHz) for 3-dB bandwidth. The measured group delay is less than 0.7 ns within the passband except the rejection band.

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.

In this paper, we have proposed the folded feed structure for the spurious harmonic suppression and we have designed the SIR CPW bandpass filter using this feed structure. The characteristic of the proposed feed structure was similar to that of the lowpass filter has wide stopband region and this can be used usefully to the spurious harmonic suppression of the bandpass filter. From the simulation and the measurement result, SIR CPW bandpass filter with folded feed structure has good harmonic suppression characteristics up to 5.8 f$\sub$0/ with -20 dB suppression level.
