Compact microstrip low pass filter with flat group-delay using triangle-shaped resonators

In this paper, a compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) using triangle-shaped resonators is presented. The designed LPF includes three symmetric triangle-shaped resonators to provide a suitable passband and sharp response. A suppressing unit composed of several suppressing cells is designed to obtain a wide rejection band and low insertion loss in the passband. The fabricated LPF has been measured and indicts that it has −3 dB cut off frequency at 5.15 GHz. The rejection band has been expended from 5.51 GHz to 43.2 GHz with maximally flat return loss in this region nearby to 0 dB. Also, simulation and experimental results show that the proposed filter has a very flat group delay in the passband, which is the minimum value in comparison with the published works since 2017.     

Design of compact low pass filter with wide stop band using tri-section stepped impedance resonator

This paper reports the design of a compact low pass filter (LPF) with wide stop band region using tri-section stepped impedance resonators in microstrip medium. Experimental results of a low pass filter designed at 1 GHz have been compared against the analytical and EM simulation results for the validation of the design. Results are satisfactorily matching each other. The maximum insertion of the measured filter is 0.2 dB and minimum return loss is 13.5 dB over the pass band. The stop band rejection is better than 20 dB from 1.5 GHz to 4.2 GHz and hence wide stop band performance is achieved. Overall size of the filter is 30 mm × 20 mm × 0.78 mm which is 0.1λ × 0.066λ × 0.0026λ at 1 GHz.     

Compact microstrip lowpass filter with wide stopband and sharp roll-off using tapered resonator

In this article, a novel microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with specifications such as sharp cut-off, wide stopband, low insertion loss and high return loss using tapered resonator is presented. The LPF has cut-off frequency of 1.11 GHz, where unwanted harmonics are suppressed by novel tapered cells. The bandwidth is enhanced, and the size is reduced as compared to the conventional tapered filter. The transition band is approximately 0.29 GHz from 1.11 to 1.4 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of –3 and –20 dB, respectively. The stopband with greater than –20 dB rejection is from 1.4 to 8.9 GHz, insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.1 dB, return loss is less than –18 dB and the overall size of the filter is 0.12 × 0.073 λ_g. The proposed filter is fabricated and measured. The simulation and measurement results are in good agreement. This LPF is designed for microwave communication applications, especially wireless video transmitters.

Compact microstrip lowpass filter using meandered unequal T-shaped resonator with ultra-wide rejection band

In this paper, a compact lowpass filter (LPF) with ultra-wide rejection band has been presented. In fact, a novel meandered semi-hairpin resonator has been used and the stopband characteristics have been improved by using a combinatorial suppressing unit. The suppressing unit contains a combination between T-shaped and semi-circular patches, which are loaded symmetrically to the designed resonator. For the proposed LPF, the-3 dB cut-off frequency has been adjusted to 2.2 GHz. After simulations, the proposed LPF has been fabricated and tested.

The transition band is only 0.271 GHz from 2.2 GHz to 2.471 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of −3 dB to −20 dB, respectively. In addition, the measured maximum insertion loss and return loss in the passband, from DC to 2.04 GHz (93% of the passband region) are 0.2 dB and 17 dB, respectively.

A compact planar microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented. The proposed UWB filter is realised by cascading a highpass filter (HPF) and a lowpass filter (LPF). Additional U-slot defected ground structure is adopted to improve the attenuation performance in the stop band. The HPF consists of inter-digital capacitors and a short-circuited stub.

A Narrow Bandwidth Microstrip Band‐Pass Filter with Symmetrical Frequency Characteristics

This letter proposes a band‐pass filter (BPF) with two transmission zeros based on a combination of parallel coupling and end coupling of half‐wave transmission lines. The fabricated BPF exhibited a narrow bandwidth and two transmission zeros near the pass‐band due to the end‐coupled and shielding waveguide. At the center operation frequency of 60 GHz, the 20 dB bandwidth of the BPF is 1.0 GHz, which is almost 2% of the center operation frequency, and the insertion loss is 3.12 dB. Two transmission zeros reach approximately 40 dB at 58.5 and 62.5 GHz. The simulation results almost agree with the measured results.
