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.

Design of high-temperature superconducting low-pass filter forbroad-band harmonic rejection

A new type of low-pass filter based on a coupled line and transmission line theory is proposed for suppressing harmonics and spurious frequency. The seventh-order coupled-line low-pass filter with strip line configuration was fabricated using a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) thin film on MgO(100) substrate. The seventh-order low-pass filter has five attenuation poles in the stop band. Its cutoff frequency is 1 GHz with a 0.01-dB ripple level. The fabricated filter exhibits a characteristic stop band in the range from 1 to 7 GHz. A measured insertion loss at the pass-band of the HTS low-pass filter is 0.2 dB at 77 K, while the maximum return loss is 17.1 dB. These results match well with those obtained by the EM simulation. The new low-pass filter structure is shown to have attractive properties such as compact size, wide stop band range, and low insertion loss     

Electromagnetic crystal (EMXT) waveguide band-stop filter

An electromagnetic crystal (EMXT) with a bandgap around 35 GHz is used as the top and/or bottom walls of a rectangular waveguide. Because of its bandgap, such an EMXT waveguide is a very effective band-stop filter with the rejection band centered at 35 GHz. More than 70 dB of isolation for the rejection band and less than 2 dB of insertion loss for the pass band are measured. Finite element simulation of the EMXT band-stop filter agrees very well with measurements. Using tunable EMXT walls, a band-stop filter with adjustable center frequency and bandwidth can also be realized.     

Slot antennas on photonic band gap crystals

The radiation patterns of a slot antenna placed on a photonic band gap crystal have been measured. We used a layer-by-layer photonic band gap crystal having a three-dimensional stop band between 12 and 15 GHz. The slot antenna radiation depends sensitively on the relative position and orientation of the slot in the surface unit cell of the photonic crystal. We have found configurations of the slot antenna with an increase of radiated power by 2-3 dB. The photonic band gap crystal can considerably improve the performance of a simple slot antenna     

A Compact HTS Duplexer for Communication Application

A compact L-band high temperature superconducting (HTS) microstrip input duplexer for satellite communication application has been developed. The duplexer has two output channels with center frequencies at 1200 and 1250 MHz, respectively. It was fabricated on a single piece of 2-in double-sided YBCO thin film on $hbox{LaAlO}_{3}$ substrate with a dimension of 26 $times$ 42 mm. The duplexer consists of a T-junction and two bandpass filters, i.e., a ten-pole filter and an eight-pole filter for the two transmission channels, respectively. Both of the two HTS bandpass filters were specially designed to suppress the second-harmonic spurious passband. Moreover, an HTS bandstop filter is added to the duplexer to improve the out-of-band rejection at a special frequency band. As a result of the preceding special designs, in addition to a very low insertion loss (0.2 dB), considerably sharp band edge (21 dB/MHz), and good voltage standing wave ratio (better than 1.4:1), much deeper out-of-band rejection (more than 75 dB) can be realized in a much wider frequency range, i.e., up to 3 GHz, which is almost three times above the center frequency of the passbands. Although all the elements of the duplexer are integrated within a single-piece YBCO film and the layout is compact, excellent isolation (higher than 80 dB) between the two channels has still been achieved.

Photonic crystal heterostructure cavity lasers using kagome lattices

The lasing characteristics of a photonic crystal membrane heterostructure cavity that utilises a kagome type lattice is demonstrated. A heterostucture cavity is formed by interfacing two photonic crystals such that the dispersion maximum of the inner lattice falls within the photonic bandgap of the surrounding lattice. Feedback to slow Bloch modes allows for localisation of band edge modes and a reduction of in-plane losses. Singlemode lasing is observed in relatively large area lasers at 1550 nm.     

W‐Band MMIC chipset in 0.1‐μm mHEMT technology

We developed a 0.1‐μm metamorphic high electron mobility transistor and fabricated a W‐band monolithic microwave integrated circuit chipset with our in‐house technology to verify the performance and usability of the developed technology. The DC characteristics were a drain current density of 747 mA/mm and a maximum transconductance of 1.354 S/mm; the RF characteristics were a cutoff frequency of 210 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency of 252 GHz. A frequency multiplier was developed to increase the frequency of the input signal. The fabricated multiplier showed high output values (more than 0 dBm) in the 94 GHz–108 GHz band and achieved excellent spurious suppression. A low‐noise amplifier (LNA) with a four‐stage single‐ended architecture using a common‐source stage was also developed. This LNA achieved a gain of 20 dB in a band between 83 GHz and 110 GHz and a noise figure lower than 3.8 dB with a frequency of 94 GHz. A W‐band image‐rejection mixer (IRM) with an external off‐chip coupler was also designed. The IRM provided a conversion gain of 13 dB–17 dB for RF frequencies of 80 GHz–110 GHz and image‐rejection ratios of 17 dB–19 dB for RF frequencies of 93 GHz–100 GHz.

A 12-Pole Narrowband Highly Selective High-Temperature Superconducting Filter for the Application in the Third-Generation Wireless Communications

An ultra-selective high-temperature superconducting bandpass filter was designed and fabricated to satisfy the demands of the third-generation wireless communications. This filter was designed to have 12-pole quasi-elliptic response with 4.68-MHz bandwidth in the third-generation communications band (a fractional bandwidth of 0.0023). Full-wave simulations were conducted by using Sonnet software. A novel, compact, and low radiation resonator with a high-quality (Q) factor value was developed to reduce the parasitical coupling. In order to satisfy the demand of high band-edge steepness, three pairs of transmission zeros at finite frequencies were introduced in the cascaded quadruplet coupling structure. The filter was fabricated on a 2-in-diameter 0.43-mm-thick sapphire wafer with double-sided YBCO films. The measurements showed that the passband center frequency (f₀) of the filter is 2.038 GHz at 67 K with a midband insertion loss of 0.67 dB and the return loss better than 15 dB. The measured response of the filter also exhibited ultra-high band-edge steepness of 140-220 dB/MHz. Better than 60 dB of out-of-band rejections for frequencies very close to the band edge (|f-f₀|>2.7 MHz), better than 90 dB at frequencies 7.5 MHz away from the center frequency and up to 100 dB of wideband rejections were achieved     

60-GHz-band coplanar MMIC active filters

This paper presents the design and performance of 60-GHz-band coplanar monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) active filters. To compensate for the loss of the passive filter, a resonator composed of a quarter-wavelength line is terminated by a circuit with a constant negative resistance over a wide frequency band. Cross-coupling is introduced to make the attenuation poles on both sides of the passband. We develop two types of two-stage filter: one with medium bandwidth and the other with narrow bandwidth. The former shows an insertion loss of 3.0 dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 2.6 GHz and a rejection of larger than 20 dB at a 3-GHz separation from a center frequency of 65.0 GHz. This filter also shows a noise figure of 10.5 dB. The latter filter shows an insertion loss of 2.8 dB with a 10-dB bandwidth of 2.1 GHz at a center frequency of 65.0 GHz. It also shows an output power of 5.0 dBm at a 1-dB compression point. The loss variation due to temperature variation is successfully compensated using a gate bias control circuit. The size of the MMIC filters is 2.5 mm/spl times/1.1 mm.     

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 experimental results validated that the rejection bandwidth is expanded from 2.471 GHz to 28.62 GHz with corresponding attenuation level of −20 dB. 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.
