A low-loss fully embedded bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed using low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology with enhanced stopband characteristics for the broadband multimedia wireless system (BMWS) applications. The measured insertion loss was as small as 1.7 dB at a center frequency of 41.8 GHz, and the return loss was 10.2 dB including the loss associated with two stripline-to-CPW transitions. This six-layer BPF showed 3-dB bandwidth of 8.4 % at a center frequency of 41.8 GHz and suppressed the local oscillator (LO) signal to 20 dB at a local oscillator frequency of 38.8GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
