Abstract
This paper presents a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) equalizer, providing the maximum attenuation of 12 dB over 2 to 6 GHz. In order to reduce the size, a LTCC composite right-left handed (CRLH) resonator and a simplified composite right-left handed (SCRLH) matching network were analyzed and utilized to form the proposed passive equalizer. The insertion loss of the equalizer is less than 1.25 dB, while the return loss is better than 12 dB at 2-6 GHz band. The final size of this equalizer is 18×7×0.302 mm3, a quarter of that of traditional one.
