A broadband microstrip balun and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. In the balun, transmission lines formed at different layers partially overlap in parallel with each other, and a common ground having a predetermined opening is inserted between the transmission lines. Thus, an unbalanced signal may be converted into a balanced signal in a broad frequency band using resonance of a common ground plate with the opening and a Bethe hall effect. Also, impedance matching is readily enabled, thereby reducing a parasitic element.

A gain medium and an interband cascade laser, an interband cascade amplifier, and an external cavity laser having the gain medium are presented. The gain medium can include any one or more of the following features: (1) the active quantum well region includes a thick and In-rich GaInSb hole well; (2) the hole injector includes two or more GaSb hole wells having thicknesses in a specified range; (3) the electron and hole injectors are separated by a thick AlSb barrier to suppress interband absorption; (4) a first electron barrier of the hole injector region separating the hole injector region from an adjacent active quantum well region has a thickness sufficient to lower a square of a wavefunction overlap between a zone-center active electron quantum well and injector hole states to not more than 5%; (5) the thickness of the first InAs electron well in the electron injector, as well as the total thickness of the electron injector, is reduced; (6) the number of cascaded stages is reduced; (7) transition regions are inserted at the interfaces between the various regions of the gain medium so as to smooth out abrupt shifts of the conduction-band minimum; (8) thick separate confinement layers comprising Ga(InAlAs)Sb are disposed between the active gain region and the cladding to confine the optical mode and increase its overlap with the active stages; and (9) the doping profile of the cladding layers is optimized to minimize the overlap of the optical mode with the most heavily-doped portion of the InAs/AlSb SL cladding layers. An interband cascade laser, an interband cascade amplifier, or an external cavity laser employing a gain medium having these features can emit at a wavelength of about 2.5 μm to about 8 μm at high temperatures.

A tunable filter is provided which includes a filter unit comprising a pair of microstrips which are disposed facing each other, a capacitor unit connected to one side of the filter unit, and an adjustment unit for regulating the length of each of the pair of microstrips to adjust inductance of the filter unit, the adjustment unit being connected to the opposite side of the filter unit. The length of the microstrips may thereby be regulated in order to vary the frequency band.

A phase shifter fabricated by a simple process and having a simple structure, a method of fabricating the same, and a duplexer having the same are disclosed. The duplexer includes a transmitting-end filter capable of passing only a signal in the range of a transmission frequency, a receiving-end filter capable of passing only a signal in the range of a reception frequency, and a phase shifter interposed between the transmitting-end filter and the receiving-end filter to isolate a transmitted signal of the transmitting-end filter and a received signal of the receiving-end filter from each other. The phase shifter includes a substrate provided with an input port and an output port, an inductor formed on the substrate and connected to the input and output ports, and a capacitor provided on the substrate, wherein the capacitor and inductor share a region of the substrate.

An integrated device is constructed by integrating an FBAR and a tunable capacitor. The integrated device includes a substrate; a resonator formed on the substrate; a driving electrode layer formed on the substrate apart from the resonator; a first electrode layer formed upwardly apart from the substrate and facing the resonator; and a second electrode layer formed upwardly apart from the substrate and facing the driving electrode layer, the second electrode layer stepped from the first electrode layer. Accordingly, the integrated device can increase the tuning range and mitigate the parasitic resistance.

A tunable resonator is provided. The tunable resonator includes a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) for performing a resonance, and at least one driver which is arranged at a side of the FBAR and is deformed and brought into contact with the FBAR by an external signal, thereby changing a resonance frequency of the FBAR. Accordingly, a multiband integration and a one-chip manufacture can be implemented simply using a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology and a mass production is possible.

A balun capable of a reduced whole size. The balun includes an input line receiving an unbalanced signal, an output line receiving the unbalanced signal from the input line and outputting a balanced signal, and a ground part. The input and output lines are formed on a layer, and the ground part is formed on a different layer from the layer. The ground part includes an opening and is electrically connected to the input line, and a portion of the ground part is removed to form the opening so that a potential difference occurs between first and second output lines. Thus, although a length of the output line is less than ¼ of an input wavelength λ, a difference between phases of first and second output signals can be about 180°. As a result, the whole size of the balun can be reduced.
