Abstract

In this paper, a novel waveguide low pass filter for satellite communication is proposed. The proposed low pass filter is designed to obtain wideband characteristics without the interference of higher order modes, sufficient attenuation in the stop-band and small sized lightweight characteristics by evanescent-mode ridge structure. To improve return loss and rejection loss, rectangular ring is inserting around the ridges in the waveguide. Input and output ports of the low pass filter is designed by using the impedance step structure for the impedance matching of the filter. The proposed waveguide low pass filter is fabricated and then measured as return loss over 19.5 dB, insertion loss less than 1.41 dB at the pass-band of 7.25 ~ 8.4 GHz and rejection loss over 67.2 dB at the stop-band of 12.25 ~ 14.5 GHz.

본 논문에서는 위성통신 시스템에 사용 가능한 새로운 구조의 도파관 저역통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 제안된 저역통과 여파기는 고차모드의 간섭이 없는 광대역 특성과 저지대역에서의 충분한 감쇠 그리고 도파관의 소형화와 경량화를 위하여 evanescent-mode 리지 구조를 사용하여 설계 하였고, 도파관 내에 리지를 둘러싸는 직사각형 링을 삽입하여 반사손실과 격리도를 향상시켰다. 또한 매칭을 위해 여파기의 입출력 포트 단은 임피던스 스텝 구조를 사용하여 설계하였다. 제작된 저역통과 여파기는 통과 대역 주파수인 7.25 ~ 8.4 GHz에서 반사손실이 19.5 dB이상, 삽입손실은 1.41 dB이하로 측정 되었으며 억제 대역 주파수인 12.25 ~ 14.5 GHz에서의 격리도는 67.2 dB이상을 만족하였다.
