Abstract

Design of SAW ladder filters has been performed by a rather trial and error method, that is, by modifying the design variables step by step until designed performance of the filter satisfies given specifications. In this work, optimal design method has been developed that automatically determines the detailed pattern of the SAW ladder filter to meet the specification once desired performance is given. As a first step for the development, the analysis tool for the SAW ladder filter has been produced by means of the Smith equivalent circuit analysis technique, and its validity has been verified through comparison of its calculation result with experimental data. With the analysis tool, we have investigated the performance variation of the filter with the change of its design factors, and the result has led to the optimal design algorithm. Validity and efficiency of the algorithm has been checked through test design of several SAW ladder filter samples on the market.

사다리형 SAW 필터의 개발을 위해서 종래에는 설계변수 하나하나를 변화시켜 시행착오식으로 사양을 만족시키는 값을 찾아야만 하였다. 본 연구에서는 주어진 사양을 만족시킬 수 있는 사다리형 SAW 필터의 패턴을 자동으로 설계하는 최적 설계법을 개발하였다. 우선 Smith 등가회로 해석법을 이용하여 사다리형 SAW 필터용 해석 프로그램을 제작하였으며, 그 프로그램에 의한 시뮬레이션 결과를 실제 제작된 시작품의 성능과 비교해 봄으로써 타당성을 검증하였다. 이 해석 프로그램을 바탕으로 설계변수의 조정에 따른 성능변수의 변화 경향을 분석함으로써 최적 설계 알고리즘을 개발하였으며. 그 타당성 및 효용성을 기 상용화된 제품들에 대해 시험 설계해 봄으로써 증명하였다.
