This paper presents design approach for realizing multilayer End Coupled Bandpass Filter (ECBPF) using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology at TMRND's LTCC Lab. Design method for the ECBPF is based on the coupled-resonator filter which was realized in LTCC multilayer substrate and operating at the center frequency of 42GHz. Three samples of EC BPF have been designed, simulated, fabricated and investigated in terms of performance and structure size.This multilayer ECBPF were fabricated in the 8 layers LTCC Ferro A6S materials with dielectric constant of 5.8, loss tangent of 0.002 and metallization of gold. The measured insertion loss for ECBPF was 2.43dB and return loss was 22.81dB at the center frequency at 42GHz. The overall size of the fabricated filter was 6.0 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.77 mm.

This paper presents a method of increasing the bandwidth of transducers feeding low acoustic impedance loads such as fluids and of electrically matching them over the full bandwidth. It consists of interposing between the transducer and the actual load, a wedge made out of a material having the desired acoustic impedance. The wedge angle is chosen such that no reflected wave from the wedge-load interface can return to the transducer. In this manner, the effective load seen by the transducer is that of the wedge itself, regardless of the actual load. The appropriate electrical matching is achieved by means of a hybrid band pass filter containing both electrical and mechanical components, with the transducer as an integral part. Experimental results on a 4-inch diameter PZT-4 transducer, coupled to water through a brass wedge, demonstrate a bandwidth of 75 percent and an insertion loss of 8.5 dB, well in accordance with theory. Without the wedge, the bandwidth would be only 3.2 percent.
