In these days, interest of systems and services using TVWS(TV White Space) are increased, communication systems and services for TVWS have been actively studied. The unoccupied frequency in TVWS is different according to the geographical location and the time of day. RF systems having a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in TVWS could be efficiently used. In this paper, a frequency tunable bandpass filter operated in 470 ~ 698MHz is designed and implemented. In consideration of simple control and physical size, the tunable bandpass filter is designed with 2-pole. The implemented tunable bandpass filter has the operating frequency band of 470 ~ 698MHz with control voltages of 1.58 ~ 3.93V, the insertion loss of maximum 4.78dB and the return loss of below 10dB. The implemented frequency tunable bandpass filter can be directly used in the RF receiver for TVWS and the design procedures could be used for developing a high power tunable bandpass filter as the basic research data.

In this paper, RF varactor diode are applied to the design of miniaturized and tunable bandstop filter. The proposed bandstop filter is based on a Defected Ground Structure(DGS) section topology. The designed tunable bandstop filter can achieve a significant size reduction by with loading capacitance component of varactor diode. It is observed from the measured results that the proposed tunable bandstop filter shows a wide tuning range of 42.9 % from 1.01 GHz to 1.99 GHz. The rejection level in the stopband is higher as the number of DGS section increases. In case of the proposed tunable bandstop filter with two DGS sections, the rejection level of the filter is better than 20 dB in the stopband during the tuning. In this case, the maximum insertion loss in the lower passband is 0.5 dB.

In this paper, a high power active tunable bandpass filter made of dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is designed using the active capacitance circuit generating negative resistance for tuning cellular TX, RX band. An active capacitance circuit's series feedback circuit using GaAs HFET whose $P_{1dB}$ is 32 dBm is used for compensating the losses from the varactor diodes of the tunable bandpass filter. The tuning elements, the varactor diodes are used as the back-to-back configuration to achieve the high power performance, The designed active capacitance circuit improves the insertion loss characteristics. The designed 2-stage active tunable dielectric bandpass filter at cellular band can cover from 800 MHz to 900 MHz. The insertion losses at 836 MHz and 881.5 MHz with 25 MHz bandwidth are 0.48 dB and 0.39 dB, respectively. The $P_{1dB}$ of the designed bandpass filter at TX and RX band are measured as 19.5 dBm and 23 dBm, respectively.

가변 필터는 송수신기에서 회로를 간단히 하여 특히 멀티채널을 사용하는 송수신기에서 중추적 역할을 담당하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 소형경량이고, 구조가 단순하여 제작이 간단하며, MMIC화하기 쉬운 실용적인 가변필터를 설계 및 제작하여 그 사용가능성을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 중심주파수 1.95GHz, 통과대역이 100MHz인 대역통과 링 필터를 Split 모드 방식으로 구현하고 이를 바탕으로 300MHz의 가변대역폭을 갖는 필터를 제작하였다. 이 필터의 대역폭을 가변하기 위하여 바이어스전압에 따라 커패시턴스가 변화하는 Varactor 다이오드를 사용하였다.

본 논문에서는 입력신호의 시변특성에 따라 분석 필터의 대역을 가변 시키는 필터 뱅크의 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 필터뱅크는 일반적으로 32개의 균일한 대역으로 나누어 임 계대역의 표현을 적절히 표현하지 못하는 Polyphase 필터의 단점을 극복하면서 시스템 설 계에 높은 계산량을 요구하는 QMF-tree 필터의 단점을 보완한다. 본 연구에서는 분할 대역 은 4개에서 26개의 대역으로 가변하고, 웨이블릿 필터중 Daubechies필터를 사용하였다. 제 안된 구조의 부호화기는 128kbps에서 MPEG-a오디오와 비슷한 수준의 CD 음질을 유지하 며, 연산량 비교결과는 PolyPhase filter를 이용한 MPEG보다 부호화, 복호화 과정을 합쳐 다양한 전송률과 음원에서 평균 19%의 감소를 얻었다.

A 2-pole tunable bandpass filter was design and fabricated using ceramic coaxial resonators and varactor diodes for UHF band. By inspection of frequency characteristics of the T-and $\pi$-type inverter equivalent circuits, we can design a two-pole tunable BPF with only two varactors. The measured data of the filter show 800 MHz-900 MHz tunable center frequency range, 4.5 dB insertion loss, 0.5 dB passband ripple and at least 15 dB return loss, which agree well with the simulated results.

The algorithm of multiple channel signal processing requires the flexibility of variable frequency band, efficient allocation of transmission power, and flexible frequency band reallocation to satisfy various service types which requires different transmission rates and frequency band. There are three methods including per-channel approach, multiple tree approach, and block approach performing frequency band reallocation method by channelization and dechannelization in the multiple-channel signal. This paper proposes an improved per-channel approach for converting the frequency band of multiple carrier signals efficiently. The proposed algorithm performs decimation and interpolation using CIC(cascaded integrator comb filter), half-band filter, and FIR filter. In addition, it performs filtering of each sub-channel, and reallocates channel band through FIR low-pass filter in the multiple-channel signal. The computer simulation result shows that the perfect reconstruction of output signal and the flexible frequency band reallocation is performed efficiently by the proposed algorithm.

A novel tunable bandstop filter was proposed. It is composed of a right-handed transmission line, which has lowpass characteristics, and a left-handed transmission line which has highpass characteristics. Dispersion relations for the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL were derived by the method of ABCD parameter analysis. Varactor diodes and chip inductors were used to make the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL. A tunable bandstop filter was designed and fabricated by the parallel connection of RHTL and LHTL. The measured results of the proposed tunable bandstop filter are agreed well with the simulated results.
