Abstract

In this paper, a compact UWB (Ultra Wideband) BPF(Band-Pass Filter) with dual notched bands is proposed using a hybrid Composited Right-Left Handed (CRLH) and Defected Ground Structure (DGS). To avoid the interferences such as Wireless LAN (Center frequency: 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz), the CRLH is employed to obtain the dual notched bands and the DGS is used to obtain the wide stop-band above the pass-band. The fabricated filter has good performance and has more than 30dB rejection at the center frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5.8GHz. The dual notched bands are easily movable by changing the CRLH parameter. Also the insertion loss is less than 0.4dB in the lower pass-band and 0.7dB in the upper pass-band, and it has small group delay variation less than 0.6ns. The size of the fabricated filter is very compact (17mm*17mm).

본 논문은 CRLH와 DGS 구조를 합성하여 초광대역 대역 통과 특성이 있으면서 통과대역 내에 조정가능한 이중대역 저지 기능이 있는 필터를 제안한다. 초광대역 대역통과 여파기는 WLAN과의 전파간섭을 피하기 위해 2.4GHz와 5.8GHz를 저지하여야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 CRLH구조를 이용하여 2중 저지 대역을 형성하였으며 통과 대역 이후 주파수에서 우수한 대역 저지 효과를 얻기 위해 DGS구조를 합성하였다. 실제 제작된 여파기 측정결과 2.4GHz와 5.8GHz에서 30dB 이상의 저지 특성을 확인하였다. 차단 주파수는 CRLH의 파라미터를 변경함으로써 매우 쉽게 이루어질 수 있다. 제작된 여파기는 0.4dB(Lower Pass-Band), 0.7dB(Upper Pass-Band)의 삽입손실과 0.6ns 이하의 작은 Group Delay를 확인하였다. 또한 크기가 17mm*17mm 로 매우 소형이다.
