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.

We developed a surface acoustic wave (SAW) computer aided design (CAD) for mobile communication using Kaier window function. The systems are composed of modules for designing apodization weighted IDT-uniform IDT, withdrawal weighted IDT-withdrawal weighted IDT, and resonator type. The design of SAW bandpass with center frequencies from 222MHz to 343MHz were simulated by the developed CAD system. Although the method proposed in this paper is formulated primarily for SAW filters, it is equally applicable to finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter design.

We present the results on the applicability of the polycrystalline AIN thin films for a surface acoustic wave filter operating at 800 MHz frequency. The films show the FWHM of 3 .deg. from th X-ray rocking curve, which indicates that the c-axis of the films is pre- ferentially oriented along the growth direction. The fabricated band pass filters exhibit the center frequency of 865 MHz with 3dB band-width of 45 MHz. From the measured frequency response, the electro-mechanical coupling constant of 0.8% and the SAW velocity of 5,709 m/s are obtained. Thus, we conclude that the sputtered AIN films are feasible for the fabrication of uper UHF band SAW filters.

고주파화로 진행되고 있는 이동통신에서 사용주파수대가 고주파화로 향해감에 따라, 시스템은 소형화, 고기능화가 요구된다. 이러한 요구상황에 SAW 필터가 부응하기 위해서는 삽입손실 개선, Submicron 전극제작기술, 소형화를 위한 면실장기술 등이 앞으로 해결해 나아가야할 과제라고 생각된다. 이상으로 SAW 필터는 그 우수한 특성으로 앞으로 이동통신용 핵심부품으로 발전해 갈 것으로 생각된다. 이에 발맞추어 새로운 기술 향상과 신규시장에 대응하는 시기 적절한 상품화가 주된 관건이며, 국내업체는 위에 기술한 상황에 신속한 대응이 있어야만 세계 시장경쟁에서 살아남을 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

본 논문은 높은 전기 역학적 결합 계수를 갖고 있는 64°LiNbO3기판에 leaky표면 탄성파를 이용하여 종 결합 형태의 대역이 넓고, 손실이 적은 필터의 제작을 위한 연구이다. 이 기판 위에 1차 모드와 2차 모드를 이용하고 입력 IDT와 출력IDT사이의 거리, 그리고 전 극의 두께 및 전극 개수를 적절하게 조절하므로서 통과 대역 폭이 15MHz이상, 삽입 손실 1.28dB 및 저지대역 50dB인 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 아울러, 전극의 두께는 파장과의 비를 고려해 2500Å으로 할 때 최적의 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, IDT와 IDT 사이의 거리는 0.25 λ, IDT와 반사기 사이의 거리는 0.46λ로 할 때 가장 이상적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 제 작한 필터는 329.3MHz의 중심 주파수를 갖고 있는 소자로서 소형이고 낮은 삽입 손실을 갖 고 있으며, 무선 호출기에 사용 가능하다.

We have studied to obtain the SAW filter for the Single Phase Unidirectional Transduce. (SPUDT), was formed on the Langasite substrate and was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy and then we performed computer-simulated by simulator. We can fabricate that the block weighted type IDT as an input transducer of the filter and the withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output transducer of the filter from the results of our computer-simulations. Also, we have performed to obtain the properly conditions about impedance matching of the SAW filter for SPUDT. We have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness and the width of reflector are 5000A and $3.6{\mu}m$, respectively. And the width of IDT' fingers is $2.4{\mu}m$, and the space between IDT' finger and reflector is $2.0{\mu}m$. Frequency response of the fabricated SAW filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bandwidth at the 3dB is probably 7.7MHz after when we have matched impedance. Also, we could obtain that ripple characteristics is less than 0.4dB and standing wave ratio is probably 1.5 after when we have matched impedance.

We have studied to obtain the frequency characteristics of the Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW) bandpass filter, having low shape factor, it's interdigital transducer(IDT) was formed on the 35° Y-cut X-propagation Quartz substrate and was evaporated by Aluminium. And then, we performed computer-simulation by a simulator. And, we can design that the apodization weighted type IDT as an input transducer of the filter and the withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output transducer of the filter from the results of our computer-simulation. Also, we have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 2200 pairs and 1000pairs, respectively and used the Kaiser-Bessel window function in order to minimize the effect of ripple. And, while the width and the space of IDT's finger are 6㎛ m and 5.75㎛, respectively and we could obtain the resonable results when the IDT thickness was 6000Å in consideration of the ratio of SAW's wavelength, and IDT aperture is 2mm. Frequency response of the fabricated SAW bandpass filter has the property that the center frequency is about 70MHz, shape factor is less than 1.3, bandwidth at the 1.5dB is probably 1.3MHz, out-band attenuation is almost -45dB, insertion loss is 19dB and ripple in the width of bandpass is 1dB approximately. Therefore, these frequency characteristics of the fabricated SAW bandpass filter are agreed well with the designed values.

Unlike the electric method capable of checking only product defect, the real time optical metrology is suggested for measuring and visualizing vibration with respect to position of surface acoustic wave in RF device. The measuring limits and conditions for surface acoustic wave is given, and the interference and diffraction due to RF signal are analyzed by optical interpretation. A single mode laser and a 105MHz-center-frequency repeater filter were employed for experiments and theoretical analysis. In this paper, the optical metrology providing visual energy distribution and real time inspection for surface acoustic wave is proposed for development of high quality multi-service and multi-frequency RF module.

In this paper, we designed a highly suppressed sidelobe ladder type RF SAW bandpass filter based on 1-port resonator, for 800 MHz mobile communication system. In order to get the highest device characteristics, we optimized some important parameters such as the electrode thickness, electrode lambda weghting of the reflectors, and static capacitance ratio. Furthermore, we fabricated the Tx and Rx. filter using optimized parameters. Implemented filters can be used in 800 MHz mobile communication system and external impedance matching circuits are not needed. RF filter was fabricated on 36$^{\circ}$LiTaO$_3$ substrates with Al-Cu (W 3 %)and mounted 3.8mm$\times$3.8mm$\times$1.5mm SMD package. Developed filters has 2.3 dB insertion loss in the 25 MHz pass-band, 33MHz with 3-dB insertion loss, stop-band rejection of 30 dB, passband ripple is less than 0.5 The power durability of the filters measured about 3.5W and the maximum temperature variation within -2$0^{\circ}C$~8$0^{\circ}C$ was 0.09 dB/$^{\circ}C$ of 3-dB insertion loss.
