Abstract

In this paper, microstrip low pass filter using transmission line with the modified DCRLH structure is designed and fabricated to be removed a spurious resonant mode, and a deep attenuation in stop band. The low pass filter is composed of shunt open-stub to get a deep attenuation and series short-stub to eliminate the spurious harmonics in stop band. In this way, the spurious harmonics occurring on the higher order frequency are suppressed and the filter performance is improved. Insertion loss and VSWR of the fabricated microstrip low pass filter in the passband from DC to 1.5 GHz is 1.26 dB and 1.65, and attenuation on the stopband from 1.84 GHz to 2.18 GHz is less than -100 dB. And also this filter has a good performance for 20 watt power test.

본 논문에서는 변형된 DCRLH 구조의 전송선로를 이용하여 저지대역에서 나타나는 고조파 공진 특성을 제거하고, 큰 감쇄 특성을 갖는 마이크로스트립 저역통과 필터를 설계하고 제작하였다. 저역통과 필터는 통과대역 신호를 잘 전달하고 저지대역 감쇄특성을 키우기 위한 병렬 개방스터브 선로와 고조파 통과특성을 제거하기 위한 직렬 단락스터브 선로를 복합적으로 사용하여 구성하였다. 이렇게 구성함으로써 저지대역에서 나타나는 불필요한 고조파신호를 억제시킬 수 있었고, 필터의 대역통과 성능을 개선할 수 있었다. 제작된 저역통과필터는 1.5 GHZ 이내의 통과대역에서 삽입손실 1.26 dB, 정재파비 1.65, 그리고 1.84 GHz에서 2.18 GHz의 저지대역에서 100 dB 감쇄, 20 와트 전력테스트에서 양호 평가를 얻어 모든 면에서 스펙에서 정한 규정 값 이상의 우수한 성능을 가질 수 있었다.
