Design of Bessel low-pass filter using DGS for RF/microwave applications

A synthesis method to design a defected ground structures (DGS)-based Bessel low-pass filter (LPF) using a triangular and an open-square (OS)-type DGS is reported. For the five-pole Bessel LPF at f_c = 2.5 GHz, we get 10.6 dB/GHz selectivity using the triangular DGS; while the OS-type DGS provides 39 dB/GHz selectivity. For these two filters, the 10 dB impedance matching BW is 76% and 84%, respectively. It is a much wider BW that is obtained for a lumped element Bessel LPF. The maximum group delay (GD) variation within the pass band is 25pS and 28pS, respectively. The 20 dB rejection BW can be increased from 5.8 GHz to 18.8 GHz with increase in the order of filter from 5 to 11. We have also presented the design of a compact five-pole DGS-based elliptic filter with selectivity 38.2 dB/GHz and 17.8 dB return loss. Results on the DGS-based elliptic filter, Butterworth and Chebyshev filters are also presented. The experimental results are compared against the recently reported LPFs. Our reported filters perform better with respect to selectivity and group delay variation. The flatter GD and high selectivity, along with a wide 10 dB impedance matching BW, make the DGS Bessel filter a candidate for high-speed data communication, front end of a wideband communication system and efficiency improvement of a power amplifier.     

Design of a wideband common-mode filter using approximate closed-loop pattern of compact C-shaped defected ground structure

A compact common-mode filter is proposed to suppress common-mode noise for application of high-speed differential signal traces. The filter adopts one big C-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) cell in the left of ground plane and two small C-shaped DGS cells with opposite direction in the right of ground plane. Because these DGS cells have different dimensions, the filter has three adjacent equivalent resonant points, which can suppress wideband common-mode noise effectively. The left C-shaped DGS and its adjacent C-shaped DGS cell form an approximate closed structure, which can efficiently reduce the influence of the mutual capacitance. The filter provides a common-mode suppression from 3.6 GHz to 14.4 GHz over 15 dB while it has a small size of 10 mm10 mm. The fractional bandwidth of the filter is 120%, and the differential signals still keep good signal integrity. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulated results.

Planar microstrip UWB bandpass filter using U-shaped slot coupling structure

A compact planar microstrip UWB bandpass filter is proposed. It is realised by cascading a lowpass filter and a highpass filter. A transmission line with U-shaped slots coupled with two DGS units on the back of the circuit board has the characteristic of highpass, while a periodic uniform DGS array has the characteristic of lowpass. Combining these two structures, a new UWB bandpass filter (BPF) is fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed BPF has wide bandwidth from 3.0 to 10.9 GHz, all the measured return loss less than 13 dB in the passband. The BPF achieves a wide stopband with 18 dB attenuation up to 18.0 GHz     

Dual-band UWB bandpass filter with triangular DB-DGS for WLAN applications in DSRC band

A dual-band Ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass microstrip filter with triangular dumbbell shaped defected ground structure (DB-DGS) for wireless local area network applications in DSRC band is proposed in this article. The proposed dual-band filter has center frequencies at 2.67 GHz and 4.68 GHz, return loss obtained is −33.40 dB and −16.55 dB respectively, wide bandwidth of 1.21 GHz (26%), pass band between 2.14 GHz and 6.44 GHz and high gain of 10.30 dB which makes it suitable for modern applications in dedicated short range communication operating in 5.8 GHz band. To further validate the design concept, a microstrip UWB filter is designed, fabricated and tested. Comparison is made among circular, square and triangular dumbbell shaped DGS on the basis of scattering parameters and bandwidth, in which triangular shaped DB-DGS outperforms the other two. Further, parametric analysis of triangular DB-DGS has been performed and comparison is made with filters of similar nature. Experimental results are in good agreement with simulations. The fabricated filter is compact in size, has low insertion loss, exhibits high selectivity and demonstrates excellent out of-band performance.

Compact stub type microstrip bandpass filter using defected ground plane

Usually a defected ground plane structure (DGS) provides only a band-reject response. However, in this work we introduce a simple band-accept circuit element in the DGS and developed a microstrip stub type compact 3-pole bandpass filter (BPF) at 4.2 GHz. The BPF has bandwidth and insertion loss 38% and 0.6 dB respectively. It has better than 25 dB rejection in the stopband up to 12 GHz.     

Miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter with good frequency selectivity using SIR and DGS

A miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) using stepped impedance resonator (SIR) and defected ground structure (DGS) is presented. In order to get two desired passbands, two different transmission paths and source–load cross coupling have been implemented. One path is the SIR, and the other is the DGS. Meanwhile, it is easy to obtain good frequency selectivity by introducing several transmission zeros. The coupling scheme and current distributions are applied to demonstrate the flexible design approach. A dual-band BPF is designed, simulated, and fabricated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed dual-band filter. The measured results show that the fabricated dual-band BPF has two passbands centered at 2.41 and 3.52 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 5.8 and 7.7%, respectively. The measured insertion loss is about 2 dB and 2.2 dB at the lower and upper passbands. The measured results show good agreement with the simulated ones.     

Dual-band bandpass filter based on dual-plane microstrip/interdigital DGS slot structure

A novel dual-band bandpass filter based on a dual-plane structure consisting of both a microstrip and a defected ground structure (DGS) slot with an interdigital shape is proposed. The microstrip structure is connected to the ground plane by grounding vias to obtain tight coupling. By tuning the length of the fingers in the DGS, it is convenient to change the first passband operating frequency. The equivalent-circuit model is derived for the filter. A filter with two passbands centring at 2.44 and 3.28 GHz is shown with stopband attenuation of greater than 30 dB over the frequency range 3.7- 9 GHz.

Simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the designed LPF has a very sharp transition band (TB) and an ultra-wide SB performance compared with the existed similar symmetrical and asymmetrical DGS. The proposed LPF with two cascaded resonators is with a compact size of 36.8 mm×24.0 mm, a very low insertion loss of less than 0.7 dB under 1.9 GHz, and a wide SB from 2.2 GHz to 8 GHz with rejection of larger than 30 dB.
