Herein, we present a compact transversal bandpass filter (BPF) with an extremely wide upper stopband and multiple transmission zeros (TZ). Three signal transmission paths with shorted stubs and open-coupled lines allow signal transmission from input port to output port. Two resonant modes can be excited simultaneously and managed easily for bandpass response. Eleven TZs are achieved via transmission path cancelation; an extremely wide upper stopband with an attenuation level better than -12 dB is achieved up to 11.7 f0, where f0 is the center frequency (CF). In addition, bandwidth and CF can be controlled by adjusting electrical lengths. For proof of concept, a wideband BPF centered at 1.04 GHz with 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 49.2% was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The overall circuit measures 0.045λg × 0.117λg; good agreement was observed between the measured and simulated results.

In this paper, a highly miniaturized and performed UWB bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive elements into a multi-layered PCB substrate with high dielectric $SrTiO_3$ composite film for 3.1 - 4.75 GHz compact UWB system applications. The high dielectric composite film was utilized to increase the capacitance densities and quality factors of capacitors embedded into the PCB. In order to reduce the size of the filter and avoid parasitic EM coupling between the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a $3^{rd}$ order Chebyshev circuit topology and a capacitive coupled transformation technology. Independent transmission zeros were also applied for improving the attenuation of the filter at the desired stopbands. The measured insertion and return losses in the passband were better than 1.68 and 12 dB, with a minimum value of 0.78 dB. The transmission zeros of the measured response were occurred at 2.2 and 5.15 GHz resulting in excellent suppressions of 31 and 20 dB at WLAN bands of 2.4 and 5.15 GHz, respectively. The size of the fabricated bandpass filter was $2.9{\times}2.8{\times}0.55(H)mm^3$.

This paper presents a tri-wideband bandpass filter (TWB-BPF) with compact size, high band-to-band isolation, and multiple transmission zeros (TZs). The proposed TWB-BPF is based on a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), which is interpreted by the method of the even- and odd-mode analysis technique. The MMR can excite 11 resonant modes, where the first two modes comprise the first passband, the next four modes form the second passband, and the last five modes are used to generate the third passband. In addition, 10 TZs are yielded to obtain high band-to-band isolation and wide stopband suppression characteristics up to $14.95f_{c1}$ ($f_{c1}$ is the center frequency of the first passband). To verify the proposed filter, a TWB-BPF with 3-dB fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 37.4%, 43.5%, and 40.4% is designed, fabricated, and measured.

In this paper, fully embedded 2.4GHz WLAN band pass filter (BPF) was investigated into a multi-layered organic packaging substrate using high Q spiral stacked inductors and high Dk MIM capacitors for low cost RF System on Package (SOP) applications. The proposed 2.4GHz WLAN BPF was designed by modifying chebyshev second order filter circuit topology. It was comprised of two parallel LC resonators for obtaining two transmission zeros. It was designed by using 2D circuit and 3D EM simulators for finding out optimal geometries and verifying their applicability. It exhibited an insertion loss of max -1.7dB and return loss of min -l7dB. The two transmission zeros were observed at 1.85 and 6.7GHz, respectively. In the low frequency band of $1.8GHz{\sim}1.9GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -23dB was achieved. In the high frequency band of $4.1GHz{\sim}5.4GHz$, the stop band suppression of min -l8dB was obtained. It was the first embedded and the smallest one of the filters formed into the organic packaging substrate. It has a size of $2.2{\times}1.8{\times}0.77mm^3$.

In this paper, a planar type bandpass filter in multilayered PCB is presented. The multilayered PCB structure has some advantages on fabricating microwave devices such as the size reduction and ability of tight coupling by folding or embedding. The proposed BPF has two transmission zeros at the both sides of the center frequency by using independent electric and magnetic coupling structure. The designed BPF with four layer teflon PCBs of dielectric constant 2.94 has dimensions of 24x20x1.524 in mm, center frequency of 2.47GHz and bandwidth of about l00MHz. A good agrement is achieved between the measured result and the simulated one. The influences of air gaps between the layers are also analyzed and presented.

많은 과학 데이타처럼 화산재 확산 시뮬레이션 결과는 NetCDF 형식의 군집화된 희소행렬이다. 그리고 크기가 커서 저장과 전송에 많은 비용이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 다차원 인덱스를 일차원으로 바꾸고 연속된 0을 그 시작점과 길이만을 기록하여 화산재 확산 시뮬레이션 데이터의 크기를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 기존의 ZIP 형식으로 압축한 것과 거의 같은 성능을 보이나 NetCDF의 구조는 손상하지 않는다. 제안된 방법에 의하면 데이터 크기가 줄어들어 저장공간의 효율이 높아지고 네트워크 전송시간이 줄어드는 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 여파기와 안테나 기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 마이크로스트립 공진기를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 구조는 바깥쪽 링, 안쪽 링, 원형 패치, 그리고 3개의 포트로 이루어져 있다. 제안하는 구조가 여파기와 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 각각 주로 안쪽 링과 원형 패치의 반지름에 의해 결정된다. 측정 결과를 통해 마이크로스트립 공진기가 여파기로 동작할 경우 공진 주파수는 0.69 GHz에서 3 dB 대역폭 15.1 %에 삽입 손실이 -1.4 dB의 특성을 보였다. 이 때, 통과 대역 아래 부분에 전달 영점은 0.52 GHz에, 윗부분의 전달 영점은 1.14 GHz와 2.22 GHz에 위치하였다. 위쪽 저지 대역에서 바깥쪽 링의 스터브에 의한 교차 결합(cross coupling)과 안쪽 링에 의해 각각 1개의 전달 영점이 형성된다. 원형 패치는 이중 모드(dual-mode) 특성을 형성하며, 또 다른 전달 영점을 유도한다. 제안한 구조가 안테나로 동작하는 주파수는 2.7 GHz이고, 이득은 3.8 dBi 였다. 여파기와 안테나의 공진 주파수에서 격리도 특성(isolation)이 각각 -25 dB 이하의 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.
