In this paper, we presented a new LC prototype synthesis method for the multi-band filter. For synthesis a multi-band filter with the required frequency response, we proposed the diagram of poles and zeros, also, we proposed the optimization process for finding the combination of optimized poles and zeros. From the transfer and reflection functions calculated from poles and zeros, we performed the quasi-elliptic LC prototype synthesis of multi-band filter. Using the proposed LC prototype synthesis method of multi-band filter, dual-band filter operating at GSM(880~960 MHz) and ISM(2,400~2,500 MHz) and triple-band filter operating at GSM(880~960 MHz) and ISM(2,400~2,500, 5,725~5,850 MHz) were designed and fabricated.

The fast-growing market in wireless communications has led to the development of multi-standard mobile terminals. In this paper, a frequency-tunable active RC bandpass filter for multi-standards wireless communication system is designed using an active inductor. The conventional bandpass filter design methods employ the high order filter or high quality factor Q to improve the stopband attenuation characteristics and frequency selectivity of the passband. The proposed bandpass filter based on the high Q active inductor has an improved frequency characteristics. The center frequency and gain of the designed bandpass filter is tuned by employing the tuning circuit. We have performed the simulation using TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ process parameter to analyze the characteristics of the designed active RC bandpass filter. The bandpass filter with Q=20.5 has 90MHz half power bandwidth at the center frequency of 1.86GHz. Moreover, the center frequency of the proposed bandpass filter can be tuned between 1.86~2.38GHz for the multi-standards wireless communication system using the capacitor of the tuning circuit.

본 고에서는 휴대 이동단말 시스템의 복합다기능화 및 단말기내 적용되는 주파수 변조 방식의 변화에 따른 핵심부품으로서 표면탄성파필터의 요구 성능의 변화 및 그에 따른 대응방향에 대해서 설명하고 있다. 현재 전세계적으로 널리 보급되고 있는 코드분할다중접속방식(CDMA)의 이동단말기에서는 수퍼헤테로다인 변복조방식의 적용에 따라 표면탄성파 소자로서 듀플렉서, 송신 RF 필터, 수신 RF 필터 및 수신 IF 필터 등이 적용되어 왔다. 하지만 최근 들어 RF 대역에서 기저대역으로 신호의 직접변환(Direct Conversion)이 가능한 Chipset의 보급과 더불어 급속히 Zero-IF화가 추진되고 있으며, 그에 따라 RE 필터부의 고성능화가 요구되고 있다. Zero-IF Chipset은 신호대 잡음비를 크게 하기 위해서 수신 RE 필터에 있어서 Balance 구동을 기본으로 하고 있으며, 듀플렉서에 있어서는 통과대역의 저손실화, 저지대역의 고감쇠화 및 송수신간 높은 격리도를 요구하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있는 표면탄성파 필터의 구현 원리와 향후 동향에 대해 논의하였다.

For the purpose of improving the stopband characteristics, the filter structure having single or double inserted metal plates in the waveguide of a reduced width have been widely stdudied so far. Usually such structures have a waveguide junction discontinuity between two waveguides of different widths. In designing such structures, we should always minimize the insertion loss due to the juction discontinuity. Besides it is difficult to fabricate the junction with desired accuracy. Here we consider new structure of tripple metal insert filter without the junction discontinuity problem, which is more suitable for mass production. An optimization procedure is taken with manufacturing error 0.1mm of inserted metal length. The theory agrees well with experimental data. so, it is show that fabrication of triple metal insert filter is more profitabel by optimization process.

In this paper, we have designed a bandpass filter with via-holes ground on K-band To pass only the 25 ~30% of the bandwidth at the center frequency of 19.6GHz, we have designed a six-order interdigital bandpass filter using microstrip lines. Simulation results of optimization according to via-holes size and numbers of interdigit bandpass filter shows a excellent agreement with theoretical values on passband frequency. Experimental results of BP filters show that mesaured center frequency is 19.150Hz, insertion loss, -4.1dB, reflection coefficient, -16.7dB. It proved that the vis-holes ground size and numbers must be considered to design the bandpass filter.

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.

This paper proposes a tri-band bandpass filter using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with open stubs and parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have inter-digital and comb-line shorted ends. Two U-shaped SIRs with open stubs build the first and third passband, and the central PCL resonators build the second passband. Five resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive the scattering parameters of the proposed filter. A novel tri-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering parameters. The measured result of the fabricated tri-band bandpass filter shows a good agreement with the simulated one.
