In this paper, a systematic design method of brjoadband tunable bandpass filter is presented by using user defined varactor diode method. The tunable bandpass filter is constructed as the cascade connection of low pass filter and high pass filter. The designed filter shows the characteristeristics of 2.7.+-.0.2dB insertion loss and 37.1.+-.5.0dB insertion loss and 32.1.+-.2.2dB image rejection. The results of the research can be used fodr the broadband tunable filter of DBS tuner and communication instruments.

A 900 MHz low-noise amplifier(LNA) with a measured noise figure of 4.8 dB and an associated gain of 13.2 dB was fabricated in a 0.65 $\mu$m CMOS. The inductive source architecture of offers the possibility of achieving the best noise performance. At 900 MHz, the fabricated LNA dissipates 39 mW from a single 3 V power supply including the bias circuitry and provides -26dB input return loss, -17 dB output return loss, and an input 1-dB compression level of -12 dBm.

In lieu of the excellent radio frequency (RF) performance of microelectromechanical system ( MEMS) switches, these micro switches need higher actuation voltage for their operation. This requirement is secondary to concerns over the swtiches’ reliability. This paper reports high reliability operation of RF MEMS switches with low voltage requirements. The proposed switch is optimised to perform in the Q-band, which results in actuation voltage of just 16.4 V. The mechanical stress gradient in the thin micro membrane is computed by simulating von Mises stress in a multi-physics environment that results in 90.4 MPa stress. The computed spring constant for the membrane is 3.02 N/m. The switch results in excellent RF performance with simulated isolation of above 38 dB, insertion loss of less than 0.35 dB and return loss of above 30 dB in the Q-band.

In this paper, a compact fully printable bandpass filter is suggested for a low-frequency channel 3.2 GHz ~ 3.7 GHz in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication system. It is featured with a small geometry of $0.5{\lambda}_g/15$ and a low insertion loss despite using FR4 as a cheap substrate of a high dielectric loss. This is made possible by generating zeroth-order-resonance (ZOR) from one cell comprising two series resonances obviously separated from one shunt resonance as a third-order bandpass filter. Especially, the series resonance elements are combined with spur-lines bent by 90 degrees, which makes the port-impedance matched well and eliminates spurious hikes in the stopband, while the overall size remains almost unchanged. The design is carried out by setting up the equivalent circuit and the circuit simulation is checked by the full-wave EM analysis. The structure is manufactured and measured to show that the circuit modeling and EM simulation results agree with the measured data.

In this paper, the variational method are used for the filter analysis methods and a CAD program for the design of the waveguide low-loss bandpass filters using inductive window structures for the VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal) system has been developed based on the passband correction method combined with fiter synthesis procedures. Using the developed CAD program, 0.01dB equi-ripple chebyshev type 6-section bandpass filters which are sued in the VSAT system operating nationally are designed for the purpose of the Down-link of 12.75~13.25GHz and the Up-link of 14.0~14.5GHz, fabricated and mesured. The measured results are good agreement woth the theoretical resuls.

In this paper, we have designed the Anti-Reflection (AR) coating for 850, 1310 nm(multi type) and 1310, 1550 nm(multi type) wavelength ranges on the ferrule facet of special optical connector. The reflectance of the AR coated ferrule facet is designed under 5% for 850, 1310 nm(multi type) and 1310, 1550 nm (multi type). AR thin film was deposited by ion- assisted deposition in low temperature. The average return loss of the AR coated ferrule facet is 47.1 dB.

In this paper, recovery method with high-bitrate and low-bitrate coder was implemented in order to recover consecutive packet loss over the Internet. LPC was used as redundant audio data for recover of lost packets and RTP parcket format was modified for accommodation of redundant data. In measuring results using random packet loss rate with three redundant datra in every packet, it has shown that recovery rate was 80% in los rate of 50%. Since the processing delay for recovery of the lost packet was 200ms, this recovery method can be applied to real-time Internet sevice such as Internet phone.

The zirconia-alumina composite, a low loss material, was sucessfully sintered using a 2.45 GHz microwave radiation. The dense zirconia was used as a microware coupling aid. The effect of microwave power level on the heating rates of samples and the feasibility of microwave energy use in processign ceramec materials were obtained. It was also obtained how to accurately measure the temperature. According to the microwave heating theory, heating mechanisms were discussed.

A cost-effective magnetic-coupled AC-PDP sustain driver with low switching loss is proposed. The transformer reduces current stress in the energy recovery switches which affects circuit cost and reliability. The turns-ratio can be used to adjust the sustain pulse slopes which affect gas discharge uniformity. Dividing the recovery paths prevents abrupt changes in the output capacitance and thereby switching losses of the recovery switches is reduced. In addition, the proposed circuit has a more simple structure because it does not use the recovery path diodes which also afford a large recovery current. By reducing the current stress and device count in the energy recovery circuit, the proposed driver may have decreased circuit cost and improved circuit reliability.
