This paper presents an overview of recent advances in radio frequency and microwave filter topologies for satellite communication systems. Many types of filters have been developed during the last years in order to satisfy the demands of modern applications in both terrestrial systems and onboard spacecrafts, leading to a great variety of aspects such as transfer functions, resonator implementations or coupling structures. This paper revisits some of the last advances in this area, including the modeling and full-wave simulation. Some recent designs using dual-mode cavities along with other novel implementations in ridge waveguide will be shown.

In this paper, we present a new specific and customized interface tool with parameter identification of Modified Butterworth-Van Dyke models for ladder bulk acoustic wave filters. The aforementioned tool is easy to use and flexible because it allows simulations and reengineering to be conducted in an application. A modular design approach is applied to simplify the extension of the proposed tool for different topologies. The proposed tool was validated using measurements from an aluminum-nitride based ladder BAW filter dedicated to the frequency ranges of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service and standards and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access.

Multi-period low-emissivity (low-e) filters based on [TiO$_2$｜Ti｜Ag｜TiO$_2$] layer structure were designed and fabricated by a RF magnetron sputtering method. Optical, structural, chemical, and electrical properties were investigated with various analytical tools. Interface layers consisting of Ag, Ti, and O were observed next to Ag layers by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) analysis. The results show that Ti layers of ~ 1.8 nm protect the Ag layers from oxidation better than those of ~ 1 nm and the optical spectra of the filter with thicker Ti layers are in agreement with the simulated one. The average transmittance of a low-e filter with thicker Ti layers is reduced and the sheet resistance is slightly increased due to the increased Ti thickness.

본 논문에서는 RF 전력 증폭기의 메모리 효과를 모델링하기 위한 향상된 시스템 레벨의 모델을 제안하고, 사전 왜곡 선형화기를 적용한 전력 증폭기의 출력 신호의 스팩트럼 밀도를 분석하여 제안한 모델을 검증하였다. 기존의 Three-Box(Wiener-Hammerstein) 모델은 전력 증폭기의 RF 주파수 특성을 입출력 선형 필터를 사용하여 모델링한 것으로, Hammerstein 구조의 사전 왜곡 선형화기를 사용하면 이론적으로 인접 채널 간섭을 모두 제거할 수 있다. 그러나, 실제 전력 증폭기의 경우 RF 주파수 특성 외의 메모리 현상에 의해 주파수 특성만을 보정한 Hammerstein 사전 왜곡기에 의한 인접 채널 간섭비의 향상 정도가 제한적이다. 이러한 출력 스팩트럼 특성은 Three-Box 모델의 메모리 성분을 가지지 않는 비선형 블록을 메모리 다항식으로 바꾸어 준 모델을 사용하여 정확히 예측될 수 있다. IEEE 802.11 g 무선 랜 전력 증폭기에 Hammerstein 구조의 사전 왜곡이 적용된 경우 측정된 인접 채널 스팩트럼 밀도값을 제안된 모델은 ${\pm}30$ MHz의 인접 채널 범위에서 2 dB 이하의 오차로 예측하였다.

In this paper, an efficient multipaction analysis method of a manifold multiplexer for satellite applications is presented. While FEM(Finite Element Method) is used for the multipaction analysis of the lowpass filter, the equivalent circuit model is used for the analysis of the channel filters and the manifold. Employing equivalent circuit model for multipaction analysis takes less time than using EM(Electromagnetic) field analysis method while keeping the accuracy of the multipaction analysis. This present analysis method is applied to the manifold multiplexer for Ka-band satellite transponders and the results show that the present method is as accurate as the conventional EM field analysis method.

A K-band GaAs MMIC receiver module has been developed using 0.15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ HEMT technology process. It incorporates two front end low noise amplifiers, a double balanced diode mixer, and filters. The RF input frequency ranges 20.1 to 21 GHz and the IF output 1.1 to 2 GHz. Test results show an overall conversion gain of more than 27 dB, and less than a 2.2 dB noise figure. The image-rejection ratio greater than 21 dB has been obtained. The isolation between RF and IF ports is better than 27 dB, and between LO and IF is more than 50 dB.

In RF application of resonator, cylinerical and transmission line(TRL) type are used generally, especially in ceramic modules the latter is used widely, TRL type resonators are used in VCO and RF filters etc.. TRL type resonators are divided stripline and microstripline and their characteristics depend on that of conductor and dielectric materials. In this study, the effect of material properties on the stripline resonator is measured and analyzed. Besides, the optimum design rule of resonator is presented.

이동통신서비스의 보급확대에 따른 통신용단말기의 수요가 증가하고 있으나 단말기용 핵심부품은 일본 등 선진국에서 전량 수입에 의존하고 있다. 이중 마이크로파용 유전체를 이용한 필터의 경우 안테나 듀플렉서, RF 필터 등으로 이용되고 있으며, 소형화, 고기능화가 이루어지고 있다. 이 고에서는 이동통신용 핵심 부품인 이러한 유전체 필터의 소형화 추이 및 기술 동향을 살펴보고 국내 동향과 문제점 및 대책을 결론으로 제시하였다.

ZnO shows the properties of wide conductivity variation, high optical transmittance, and excellent piezoelectricity. Using these properties of ZnO, the material applications were extended to sensors, SAW filters, solar cells, and display devices. This paper investigated transmittance influencing factors for thin film ZnO grown by RF magnetron sputtering. The growth rate and structural investigation were carried out in conjunction with optical transmittance characteristics of thin film ZnO. The glass substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ exhibited a preferential crystallization along (002) orientation. Transmittance of ZnO film deposited at the substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ showed higher than 92%. An active sputter gas was investigated with a variation of $O_2$ partial pressure from 0 to 10% in an Ar atmosphere. ZnO film grown in 100% Ar gas shows that a reduced transmittance of 82% at the short wavelengths and decreased resistivity value. As the partial pressure of $O_2$ gas increased, the optical transmittance was increased above 90% at the short wavelengths, however, resistivity was drastically increased to higher than $10^4{\Omega}$-cm.
