Abstract
In this thesis, a narrow band pass filter(BPF) with less than 3% bandwidth has been realized by using LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) technology. A quad-plexer has been designed and manufactured by combining a diplexer with four LTCC BPFs operating in the cellular band of 0.8 GHz and the WCDMA band of 2.1 GHz.
The LTCC band pass filter has been designed by adopting an ENG model in a classical DNG constitution based on meta-structure theory. Since the bandwidth of the proposed band pass filter in this thesis is less than 3%, it has a very narrow band feature as compared with conventional LTCC band pass filters. Therefore, the filter has been designed through optimization based on the ENG model in order to maximize efficiency. Three types of dielectric substances are used in the LTCC filter manufacturing process. Of the three, the NH20M4 substance has been chosen. This substance has a relatively low dielectric constant of 21, and allowing the low insertion loss and low frequency deviation. The electrode material contains more than 80% of metal content in order to raise the Q value of the resonator. During the production process, it displays optimal characteristics when the electrode membrane is coated twice using the 7251S electrodes by Namics. Therefore, in the final manufacturing process of the LTCC filter, it has been manufactured utilizing NH20M4 dielectric powder and coating the 7251S electrodes twice.
For a duplexer structure, two LTCC band pass filters have been implemented with capacitive λ/4 resonators designed to get optimal Q value through various forms of research. Specifically, the LTCC filters have been developed with a LTCC material with a permittivity of 21 and loss of 0.001
The Q value of 338 for the resonator in the cellular and WCDMA band. The designed filters are 5th order SMD (surface mount device) modules with a size of 22×10×3 mm3. The manufactured duplexer operating in cellular band is composed of two LTCC filters, which they have passband of 0.824∼0.849 GHz and 0.869∼0.894 GHz in transmit and receive frequency band, by conjunction them with a microstrip line combiner. This duplexer shows 4.5 dB loss and over 45 dB isolation.
The Q value of the resonators in the WCDMA band LTCC duplexer is greater than 300 and the filters are 5th order with a size of 20×5×3 mm3. In addition, the duplexer operating in the WCDMA band is composed of two LTCC filters, which they have passband of 2.11∼2.17 GHz transmit and 1.92∼2.17 GHz receive frequencies. Using the same structure as the cellular band duplexer, this duplexer shows 2.5 dB loss and over 60 dB isolation.
In order to combine the two LTCC duplexers on a printed circuit board, a diplexer consisting of a LPF in the low frequency band and a broadband band pass filter in high frequency band is realized by using a microstrip technology.
By combining the diplexer with the two LTCC duplexers, a quad-plexer has been developed to displaying desired performance. In addition, the quad-plexer has been measured by utilizing a VNA (vector network analyzer) and has been assessed for use in mobile communications. The measurement results show loss of 5 dB and isolation greater than 53dB in the cellular band and 3dB and 60 dB in the WCDMA band respectively. In conclusion, the compact size and displayed performance make it suitable for mobile RRH (remote radio head) of femto-cell BTS (base transceiver station) applications.
