Three types of the coupling structures in combline resonators are presented: magnetic, electric, and mixed coupling structures. The magnetic coupling structure is provided by the window, and the electric coupling is provided by the electric probe. The mixed coupling structure which is the superposition of the magnetic and electric coupling structures, is proposed for the electric coupling in combline resonators with easy tuning capability. The responses of each coupling structure are shown. A 4-pole combline filter is designed and fabricated as an application of those coupling structures, and shows good filter responses.

In this paper, a cross-coupled microstrip combline bandpass filter using stepped-impedance resonators(SIRs) is proposed. In order to improve the selectivity as well as the insertion loss, the SIR configuration is used. The cross coupling is also introduced to enhance the selectivity. The improvement of the insertion loss is demonstrated not only by deriving the quality factor of the SIR but through the measured performances. Both the proposed and the conventional combline bandpass filter with 5 % of fractional bandwidth at 2 GHz were fabricated and tested. Compared to the conventional combline bandpass filter, the proposed one exhibits the improved selectivity as well as the lower insertion loss characteristics.

This paper proposes a tunable combline bandpass filter with high selectivity, constant bandwidth, and good stopband performances. A filter with these characteristics is obtained by applying cross-coupling to the conventional combline bandpass filter using stepped-impedance resonators(SIRs). For high selectivity and constant bandwidth, cross-coupling is utilized and the SIR configuration is used for enhanced stopband performances. The proposed combline tunable bandpass filter with 5% of fractional bandwidth at 1.6 GHz was fabricated and tested. The measured results showed 11.6% tunability with constant bandwidth, high selectivity and enhanced stopband characteristics.

Modified compact combline bandpass filters are proposed based on the miniaturized quarter-wave transmission line which is composed of the parallel coupled line and lumped capacitors. The electrical length of the parallel coupled line in a resonator, which determines the size of combline bandpass filters, is just $5^{\circ}$ or $7^{\circ}$, resulting in a compact circuit area. The designed combline bandpass filter also has a wide upper stopband by suppressing the spurious passbands, not moving. Measured results of two fabricated filters centered at 400MHz show good agreement with the theoretical predications.

무선 이동 통신에 응용할 수 있는 소형의 집적된 형태의 여파기를 LTCC기술과 인터디지털 커패시터 (Interdigital capacitor)를 가진 컴라인 타입(Combline type)의 구조를 이용해 구현했다. 또한 T 패턴을 가지는 마이크로스트립(Microstrip)타입의 공진기를 이용해 LTCC 기판의 전기적 성능을 측정했다. 구현된 여파기는 인터디지털과 컴라인 구조를 이용해 2.7mm${\times}$2.03mm의 비교적 소형으로 구현할 수 있었고 5.09 GHz의 중심주파수에서 1.8 dB의 삽입손실, 37.6 dB의 반사손실, 그리고 280 MHz의 대역폭을 가졌다. 제안된 여파기는 작은 크기와 간단한 구조로 인해 여러 가지 LTCC기판의 집적형 여파기로 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 위성중계기의 수신부에 위치하고 잇는 주파수 변환부(Down converter)에서 주파수 혼합기의 전단과 후단의 대역외 신호를 차단하는 Combline 여과기를 least-squares curve-fitting 방법을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였다. Combline 공진소자의 전기적 길이는 $\lambda$/8로서, $\lambda$/4 공진기를 이용하는 다른 여파기보다 대역외 차단주파수 대역이 넓다는 잇점을 가지고 있고 동시에 소형화와 경량화를 동시에 실현 할 수 있어 위성 중계기의 대역통과여파기로 선택하였다. 공진소자는 사각형 막대구조를 이용하였다. 원통형 막대 구조의 공진기가 협대역 여파기의 설계에 주로 이용되는 반면, 사각형 막대구조의 공진소자는 협대역뿐만 아니라 광대역 여파기 설계에도 응용이 가능하다는 것과 함께 구조해석과 가공이 용이하다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 설계된 주파수 대역은 800MHz 이며, Chebyschev 여파기 함수를 적용하여 4-pole 여파기를 설계 및 제작하였다.

The design procedure for direct coupled combline filter with tapped line in/out was summarized on Ku-band satellite frequency downconverter for stellite application. We calculated the resonator dimensions, spacing between successive resonators, ground plane spacing and tapping position of in/output lines in accordance with the given procedure. Partitions wer eemployed between adjacent resonators by inserting irises to improve filter response characteristis. The designed filter was manufactued with aluminum alloy package to reduce mass, and resonators wer machined from the filter body and in/output lines wer fixed on resonators with epoxy to survive in vibration conditon during launch.

In this paper, 2.4 GHz WLAN BPF(Band Pass Filter) using LTCC(Low temperature cofiring ceramic) multilayer technology was simulated and manufactured. A modified ${\lambda}/4$ Hair-pin resonator with shunt-to ground loaded capacitor is used to shorten resonator length and improve circuit Q factor. Proposed BPF has a combline structure. Electro-magnetic Coupling between coupled strip-line resonators is controlled to provide attenuation poles at finite frequencies. The overall size of the filter is $3.2{\times}1.6{\times}1.3mm^3$. The measured result shows good agreement with simulated data.

In this paper, a novel varactor-tuned combline bandpass filter is presented. The coupling varactor diode between line elements is introduced to control the passband bandwidth so that the passband bandwidth can be maintained almost constant within the tuning range. The equivalent circuit and design equations are derived, and the optimum design is discussed. A 1.7 GHz, two-pole bandpass filter with a bandwidth of $4.5\%$ was constructed. The absolute passband bandwidth was maintained almost constant within more than 0.4 octave tuning range.
