Abstract

In this study, a 40 GHz band pass filter(BPF) employing a hair-pin structure has been designed, fabricated, and characterized for millimeter-wave wireless communication applications. Using the 3 dimensional(3-D) electromagnetic(EM) tool and design equations of the hairpin BPF, the BPF was desgned on the 5 mil-thick Duroid substrate(RT5880) with a relative dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) of 2.2. The tapping point (t) of the U-shape resonator in the input and output port has been determined using extracted an external Q-factor ($Q_e$). The coupling coefficients between the other resonators are calculated by adjusting the physical dimensions for the desired response of the BPF. The fabricated BPF was characterized using probing method on a probe station. Its measured center frequency(fc) and fractional BW are 41.6 GHz and 7.43 %, respectively. The measured return loss is below -10 dB at the pass band and the insertion loss is 3.87 dB. The fabricated BPF is as small as $9.1{\times}2.8mm^2$.

본 연구에서는, 밀리미터파 무선 통신 시스템 응용을 위하여 hairpin 구조를 응용한 40 GHz 대역통과 여파기 (BPF; band pass filter)를 설계 및 제작하여 그 특성을 측정하였다. 3차원 전자계분석 툴과 hairpin BPF 설계 수식을 이용하여, 비유전율 2.2와 5 mil 두께의 Duroid (RT5880) 기판에 BPF를 설계하였다. 입 출력단에서 U-shape 공진기의 tapping 위치(t)는 external Q-factor ($Q_e$)를 추출하여 결정하였고, 다른 공진기들 사이의 커플링 계수는 필터 특성을 고려하면서 물리적 치수를 조정하여 결정하였다. 제작된 hairpin BPF는 probe station에서 probing 방법으로 측정하였고, 중심 주파수와 대역폭은 각각 41.61 GHz 그리고 7.43 %으로 나타났다. 측정된 입력 및 출력 반사 손실은 통과 대역에서 -10 dB 이하 이고 측정된 삽입손실은 -3.94 dB이다. 제작된 여파기의 크기는 $9.1{\times}2.8mm^2$ 이다.
