Abstract

In this paper, a new hairpin type strip-line BPF(Band Pass Filter) improving the suppression performance of unwanted frequency signal is studied. A modified hairpin filter is designed by classical hairpin filter design methodology and is realized by newly placing structure of designed filter. And a newly formed coupled-line effects between modified bilateral symmetry structures make the transmission zeros. Each transmission zeros can shift its frequency to wanted frequency by tuning a certain part of filter. To investigate the validity of this novel technique, an order-5 Chebyshev BPF centered at 9.2 GHz with a 15 % FBW(fractional bandwidth) were used. According to design and measurement results, a good performance of insertion loss of 0.8 dB and unwanted signal suppression of maximum 50 dB is achieved at full input/output ports.

본 논문에서는 원하지 않는 특정 주파수 신호의 감쇠 특성을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 헤어핀 구조 스트립 선로 대역 통과 여파기를 소개한다. 변형된 헤어핀 여파기는 전통적인 헤어핀 여파기의 설계 방식과 동일하게 설계하며, 설계된 여파기의 구조를 새롭게 배치함으로써 구현한다. 그리고 변형된 대칭 구조 사이에 새롭게 형성된 결합 선로의 영향들이 대역 통과 여파기의 상/하향 주파수에 전송 제로를 만든다. 이들 각각의 전송 제로들은 여파기의 특정 부분을 조절하여 원하는 특정 주파수에 위치시킬 수 있다. 이 새로운 여파기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 9.2 GHz에서 15 % FBW를 가지는 5차 Chebyshev 대역 통과 여파기를 제작하였다. 설계 후 측정 결과, 삽입 손실이 0.8 dB@9.2 GHz이며, 최대 50 dB 정도의 우수한 차단 특성을 나타내었다.
