Background
In modern wireless communication systems, advances in signal processing technology play a vital role in improving communication quality, increasing frequency band utilization, and improving overall system performance. As one of the core components in signal processing, the accuracy of its design and manufacture directly affects the performance of the communication device. With the increasing demand for high performance filters in the fields of 5G communication, radar and satellite communication, higher requirements are placed on the size of the filter, the stability of the frequency response and the insertion loss.
Conventional filter designs often suffer from large size, difficulty in integration, sensitivity to manufacturing errors, and the like. To overcome these limitations, low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology has become an ideal choice for achieving miniaturized, high performance filters because of its ability to achieve co-firing of multiple layers of ceramic materials at lower temperatures, and high dielectric constants and good thermal matching characteristics. LTCC technology enables passive components such as inductors, capacitors, etc. to be highly integrated in a compact three-dimensional structure, thereby achieving miniaturization and high performance of the filter.
However, the design and manufacturing processes of LTCC filters currently on the market are complex, involving precise multi-layer material stacking, screen printing, precise dimensional control, and a strict sintering process. During this process, small variations in material, such as thickness, dielectric constant and geometric variations, can lead to significant degradation of the filter performance. In addition, filters in high frequency applications require extremely high signal transmission characteristics, and any non-ideal coupling or reflection can severely impact system performance.
In view of this, the present application has been proposed.
