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.

In this paper, a CPW band-pass filter with a rejection band is proposed for UWB(Ultra-Wideband) communication systems. The proposed filter has a band-pass characteristic of wide-band by inserting only a slot in $50{\Omega}$ transmission line. To obtain the band-rejection function at WLAN frequency band($5.15{\sim}5.725GHz$), the designed filter is combined with folded slot resonators on the ground plane of the CPW structure. The fabricated CPW band-pass filter shows a compact size of $15.35{\times}13.60mm$, a wide passband of 2.8 GHz to 9.8 GHz and the narrow stop-band of 5.15 GHz to 5.71 GHz for 3-dB bandwidth. Also, the measured group delay is less than 400 psec throughout the operation frequency band except the rejection band.

일반적 인 SAW 필터에서 발생하는 선형성의 한계 및 천이대역의 특성을 개선하기 위한 새로운 구조의 이중구조 사다리형 SAW 필터의 최적 설계 방법을 제시하고 그 가능성을 확인하였다. 이중구조 SAW 필터는 일반적인 사다리형 필터의 구조를 바탕으로 하되, 두 개의 서로 다른 필터가 각각 주어진 대역사양을 반반씩 만족시켜 전체의 필터특성이 구현될 수 있도록 하였다. 특히 고주파 대역에서 만족시키기 어려운 정재파비 및 뛰어난 천이대역 특성을 만족시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 이를 위해 withdrawal 가중기법 및 기판상에 encp화된 마이크로 스티 립라인 인덕터를 이용하였다. 우선 이중 구조 필터구조를 결정한 후, microstrip 라인 인덕터의 위치 및 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 필터특성 변화를 살펴보았으며, 필터의 각종 형상변수의 변화에 따른 필터 특성변화를 조사하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 새로운 방법의 이중구조 SAW 필터의 설계방법을 제시하였으며 그 타당성을 검증하기 위해 1.8 GHz 대역의 RF 필터에 대한 설계 결과를 나타내었다.

In this paper, a compact antenna with band-rejected characteristic for Ultra-Wideband(UWB) applications is proposed. The designed antenna not only shows sufficient impedance bandwidth but has band-rejected characteristic for the frequency band of 5.15~5.825GHz limited by IEEE 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2. To obtain both properties of wideband band rejection, the techniques of a partial ground plane and embedded thin U-slot into planar radiator are used respectively. A designed antenna satisfied a VSWR less than 2:1 for the frequency band of 3.1~10.3GHz with band rejection of 4.90~5.92GHz.

In this paper, we present design and test results of a Ka-band dual-band ortho-mode transducer (OMT) for use in a feed assembly for the very small aperture terminals (VSATs). The designed ortho-mode transducer have wideband characteristics to separate the signals that have two orthogonal linear polarizations operating at 20GHz of receive frequency band and at 30GHz of transmit frequency band. In addition, in order to reduce the volume of the feed assebly, a Boifot based ortho-mode transducer has been designed with a dual-band. Experimental results for the design verification, the return loss in the receive band and in the transmit band for the horizontal polarization showed over 20dB and 21dB, respectively, and for the vertical polarization showed over 20dB and 24dB, respectively. The port isolation for the horizontal polarization and the vertical polarization showed over 43dB and 52dB, respectively, in the receive band and in the vertical band.

In this paper, microstrip bandpass filter combined DCRLH metameterial-cells with a hairpin resonator is designed and fabricated to be transferred only fundamental passband signal, and removed a spurious resonant mode occurring when filter design using a microstrip transmission line is done. The bandpass filter is composed of CCRLH hairpin resonator and DCRLH interdigit metameterial-cells. The hairpin resonator with CCRLH property is implemented between two DCRLH interdigit metameterial-cells with DCRLH property, which is parallel to input port and output port. The interdigit metameterial-cells suppress spurious harmonics occurring on the higher order frequency and improve a filter performance. Insertion loss of the fabricated microstrip bandpass filter on the passband from 1.91GHz to 2.41GHz is 0.2dB, and attenuation on the stopband from 3GHz to 7.7GHz is bellower than -30dB. Therefore, this filter has a good performance for both mobile communications of WCDMA and wireless internet of WiBro.

In this paper, a novel quantization method for wideband signal codec with 7 kHz bandwidth is proposed. In the transform-based wideband signal codecs, the signal is transformed to frequency domain and the spectral coefficients in each frequency band are quantized based on human perceptual model, followed by Huffman coding. However, the property of each band varies with frequency, and the codec has poor performance when all bands are quantized with the same method. Therefore, a selective quantization method is proposed, which analyzes the band property and selects the quantization domain between frequency domain and time domain based on the quantization efficiency. It is confirmed that the proposed method has better performance than the quantizer of G722.1 codec.

In this research, we suggested a new PBG cell with wide stopband. In order to improve the characteristics of the insertion loss, return loss, and ripple, we used two overlapped cells. One is small cell which is made in inside and the other is large cell which is made in outside. The inner cell stops the high band and the outer cell stops the low band. As a result, the new PBG cell had a wide stop band. Insertion loss was about 40dB in stopband and the ripple, and the return loss was improved. Also, the passband is broaden by employing new PBG cells.
