Summary :

A 1.544 MHz timing-extraction ceramic filter is examined. This filter has been successfully introduced into a PCM carrier system. Second-order Gaussian approximated effective-parameter theory with gentle frequency-phase inclination characteristics is applied in the circuit design. A ladder transformer filter construction, employing two resonator units and a coupling capacitor, is adopted. A resonator unit, comprising a trapped-energy piezoelectric ceramic strip resonator operating in the width-shear vibration mode and a ceramic capacitor connected in series with the resonator, fulfils the function for easy frequency adjustment and temperature compensation of the resonant frequency. Filter input and output terminating resistances are 30 Ω and 1500 Ω, respectively. The 3 dB fractional bandwidth is 1.07% and the insertion loss at center frequency f0 is -4.8 dB. The frequency deviation of f0 is within 200 ppm over a -20 to 60 temperature range and the aging rate of f0 is about 0.01%/decade. The frequency deviation over the operating temperature range is less than one-third and the aging rate is about one-half of the conventional LC filter used for this application. The filter size is reduced to one-fifth that of the LC filter.
