Fully embedded tunable bandpass filter (BPF) with inductive coupling circuits is newly designed and demonstrated for UHF TV tuner ranged from 500MHz to 900MHz receivers. Conventional RF tuning circuit with an electromagnetic coupled tunable filter has several problems such as large size, high volume, and high cost, since the electromagnetic coupled filter is comprised of several passive components and air core inductors to be assembled and controlled manually. To address these obstacles, compact tunable filter with inductive coupling circuit was embedded into low cost organic package substrate. The embedded filter was optimally designed to have high performance by using high Q spiral stacked inductors, high dielectric $BaTiO_3$ composite MIM capacitors, varactor diodes. It exhibited low insertion loss of approximately -2dB, high return loss of below -10dB, and large tuning range of 56.3%. It has an extremely compact size of $3.4{\times}4.4{\times}0.5mm^3$.

본 논문에서는 기판상의 인덕터가 박막공진 여파기의 성능에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 두 종류의 사다리형 박막공진 여파기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 여파기를 이루고 있는 박막공진기들의 압전물질은 AIN이고, 전극은 백금(Pt)으로 이루어졌으며 기판에 의한 오버모드(overmode) 현상을 제거하기 위하여 air-gap 형태로 제작되었다. 듀플렉서를 이루고 있는 송신용 여파기의 특성을 보이기 위해 4개의 직렬 공진기와 2개의 병렬 공진기로 이루어진 사다리형 4/2단 여파기가 제작되었으며, 수신용 여파기의 성능을 보이기 위해서는 3/4단으로 제작되었다. 여파기의 성능을 개선하기 위해 사용된 기판상의 인덕터들은 2 ㎓ 대역에서 약 5∼9 정도의 Q값 특성을 보였으며, 인덕터가 연결된 여파기는 연결되지 않은 경우에 비해 약 10∼12 ㏈ 정도의 개선된 대역외 저지특성을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 double rectangular spiral형 공심 인덕터를 유사 LIGA공정으로, F $e_{86.7}$Z $r_{3.3}$ $B_{4}$A $g_{6}$ 자성막을 dc magnetron sputtering법으로 각각 제조한 후 인덕터의 구조를 변화시켜, 인덕터의 임피던스 특성에 미치는 자성막의 특성 인자에 대해 연구하였다. 공심 인덕터의 전류 방향과 자성 박막의 자화 용이축이 수직일 경우 인덕터의 인덕턴스가 향상되었고, 공심 인덕터와 F $e_{86.7}$Z $r_{3.3}$ $B_{4}$A $g_{6}$ 자성막 사이 절연막이 없는 경우 자성막의 자속 집속효과가 증가하여 절연막이 있는 경우보다 인덕턴스는 높고, 저항의 증가율이 높았으며, F $e_{86.7}$Z $r_{3.3}$ $B_{4}$A $g_{6}$ 자성막의 투자율이 높을수록 인덕터의 인덕턴스에 기여하는 부분이 증가하므로 인턱턴스는 향상되었다. 또한 인덕터의 주파수 특성은 공심 인덕터의 특성에 지배적인 영향을 받으므로 인덕터의 주파수 특성을 향상시키기 위해서는 자성막의 특성보다 공심 인덕터의 특성을 향상시키는 것이 바람직하다.키는 것이 바람직하다.

본 연구에서는 ㎓ 대역의 박막 인덕터 특성을 수치해석 하였다. 인덕터의 기본 구조는 390$\mu\textrm{m}$${\times}$390$\mu\textrm{m}$, 5.5턴(turn), 선폭 10$\mu\textrm{m}$와 선간격 10$\mu\textrm{m}$의 사각 나선형이다. 주파수 특성은 10 ㎓까지 시뮬레이션 하였다. 기판은 Si, Sapphire, 유리와 GaAs를 모델로 하였고 도체는 Cu이다. 도체의 두께는 2$\mu\textrm{m}$로 고정하였다. 입력과 출력단자의 위치가 서로 반대가 되도록 하기 위하여 턴수는 n.5로 하였다. 기본 구조 인덕터는 초기 인덕턴스 13.0 nH,최대 인덕턴스 60.0 nH 그리고 공진주파수는 4.25 ㎓이었다. 기판의 유전상수가 증가하면 초기 인덕스는 거의 변화가 없으나 공진 주파수는 감소하였다. 인덕터의 턴수를 1.5에서 9.5로 변화시키면, 초기 인덕턴스는 2.9 nH며 16.9 nH로 포화되었으며 Q factor는 소폭 증가하였다. 인덕터의 선폭과 선간격을 증가시키면 초기와 최대 인덕턴스는 감소하였다. 공진 주파수는 증가하였으며, Q factor는 선폭과 선간격을 증가시키면 각각 증가와 감소를 나타내었다.

In this paper, a tunable bandpass filter with mutual inductive coupling circuits is newly designed and demonstrated for UHF TV tuner ranged from Ch.14(473MHz) to Ch.69(803MHz) applications. Conventional HF tuning circuit with an electromagnetic bandpass filter has several problems such as large size, high volume and high cost, since the electromagnetic filter is comprised of several passive components and air core inductors to be assembled and controlled manually. To address these obstacles, peaking chip inductor was newly applied for constructing the mutual inductive coupling circuit. The proposed circuit was newly and optimally designed, since the chip inductor showed lower components Q-value than the air core inductor. A varactor diode has been also used to fabricate the proposed tunable bandpass filter for RF tuning circuit. The fabricated tunable filter exhibited low insertion loss of approximately -3dB, high return loss of below -10dB, and large tuning bandwidth of 330MHz.

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain has more than one energy source including a high-voltage electric battery. However, for a high voltage electric battery, the average current is relatively low for a given power level. Introduced to increase the voltage of a HEV battery, a compact, high-efficiency boost converter, sometimes called a step-up converter, is a dc-dc converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. The inductor occupies more than 30% of the total converter volume making it difficult to get high power density. The inductor should have the characteristics of good thermal stability, low weight, low losses and low EMI. In this paper, Mega Flux^® was selected as the core material among potential core candidates. Different structured inductors with Mega Flux^® were fabricated to compare the performance between the conventional air cooled and proposed potting structure. The proposed inductor has reduced the weight by 75% from 8.8kg to 2.18kg and the power density was increased from 15.6W/cc to 56.4W/cc compared with conventional inductor. To optimize the performance of proposed inductor, the potting materials with various thermal conductivities were investigated. Silicone with alumina was chosen as potting materials due to the high thermo-stable properties. The proposed inductors used potting material with thermal conductivities of 0.7W/m·K, 1.0W/m·K and 1.6W/m·K to analyze the thermal performance. Simulations of the proposed inductor were fulfilled in terms of magnetic flux saturation, leakage flux and temperature rise. The temperature rise and power efficiency were measured with the 40kW boost converter. Experimental results show that the proposed inductor reached the temperature saturation of 107℃ in 20 minutes. On the other hand, the temperature of conventional inductor rose by 138℃ without saturation. And the effect of thermal conductivity was verified as the highest thermal conductivity of potting materials leads to the lowest temperature saturations.

In this paper, Thin film bulk acoustic resonate.(TFBAR) fillers tuned by gold plated on-wafer inductors are presented. The air-gap type TEBAR is used with aluminum nitride(AIN) as piezoelectric material and platinum as top and bottom electrodes. Inductor equivalent model and modified Butterworth-Van Dyke(MBVD) model are employed for the frequency tuning of fabricated TFBAR bandpass filters. Fabricated inductor has inductance of 3 nH and Q factor of about 8 at 2 ㎓. It is clearly revealed that inductor tuning can enhance the bandwidth of ladder filters and improve out-of-band rejection characteristic around 10㏈.
