Abstract

The resonator using two layer microstrip structure was proposed and the bandpass filter was designed using this resonator in this paper. The proposed resonator structure is constructed by placing a U-shape of resonator in the first layer and then placing a broadside coupling strip in the second layer just above of the U-shape of resonator's edge part. Because these structure has various design parameters than general single layer coupled line structure, filter design is more flexible. In this paper, the narrow band filter was designed using multi-layer structure that had been applied to broadband filter because it's high coupling nature. The filter was designed to have 4MHz center frequency and 3 % fractional bandwidth, and finally confirmed that can be realizable narrow band filter by using multi-layer structure through fabrication and measurement.

본 논문에서는 두 층 마이크로스트립 구조를 이용한 공진기 구조를 제안하고, 이를 이용해 대역통과 여파기를 설계하였다. 제안된 공진기 구조는 첫 번째 층에 전송선로를 U자형으로 꺽은 헤어핀형태의 공진기를 위치시키고, 두 번째 층에는 첫 번째 층 전송선로의 끝 부분 바로 위에 broadside 결합구조를 위치시킨 형태이다. 이러한 구조는 일반적인 결합선로를 이용한 단일 층 여파기에 비해 설계변수가 다양하기 때문에 여파기 설계가 훨씬 수월하다. 본 논문에서는 강한 결합특성 때문에 광 대역 여파기에만 적용되어왔던 다층구조를 이용해 협 대역 여파기를 구현하였다. 중심주파수 4 ㎒, 부분대역폭 3 % 인 여파기를 구현하였으며, 제작과 측정을 통해 다층기판으로 협 대역 여파기를 구현 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
