A dual‐band superconducting filter with a large bandwidth ratio

In this study, we propose a stepped‐impedance‐stub loaded interdigital capacitor resonator for design of a dual‐band band‐pass filter with a large bandwidth ratio. The presented resonator has strong and weak couplings in the upper passbands (UPs) and lower passbands (LPs), respectively, so as to form a large upper/lower bandwidth ratio. Adopting a dual‐branch phase‐matched feedline structure can meet the external quality factors required for the UP/LP. Therefore, these two passbands, defined by their respective center frequencies and bandwidths, can be manipulated independently. A four‐pole dual‐band example filter with a lower bandwidth of 20 MHz at 1576 MHz and an upper bandwidth of 200 MHz at 2450 MHz is successfully designed on an YBCO/MgO superconducting wafer. The filter exhibits excellent frequency responses. The upper/LPs show insertion losses below 0.07/0.22 dB and return losses above 15.3/15.3 dB. The stopband rejection is better than 57 dB until the first spurious passband up to 6150 MHz (3.9f_L).

In this article, a compact, semi‐lumped and high power low‐pass filter in VHF band frequency is designed, fabricated, and measured. A semi‐lumped structure is used to decrease the size of the filter and improve its power handling. In high power analysis, all effects of critical points in distributed and lumped structures are considered. The experimental measurements show close agreement with the simulation results. This filter has a cut off frequency at 180 MHz, 0.02 dB ripples in pass band, return loss better than 21 dB in the pass band, 0.2 dB insertion losses, 1.6 dB/MHz shape factor, a 75% miniaturization against conventional structures with distributed elements, and wide out of band rejection. Moreover, 10 and 1 KW are the peak power and the average power handling of the filter. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 24:605–614, 2014.

A high-temperature superconducting （HTS） filter subsystem consisting of a 10-pole HTS filter with group delay self-equalization, a cryogenic low noise amplifier （LNA）, and a cooling device is presented in this paper. The HTS filter has a 0.51% fractional bandwidth at 1955 MHz, simulated in Sonnet, and is fabricated using double-sided TI2Ba2CaCu208 films on 0.5 mm thick LaAIO3 substrate. Measured responses show that the minimum insertion loss of the filter is 0.16 dB, and the out-of-band rejection is better than 75 dB. The slope is 27 dB MHz^-1 at the low band edge and 22 dB MHz-1 at the upper band edge. The HTS filter subsystem has a gain of 19.3 dB and a noise figure （NF） of 0.8 dB. Furthermore, the phase distortion of HTS filters is considered, and an efficient design approach for self-equalized HTS filters is proposed.

An elliptical function low‐pass filter (LPF) with ultra wide stopband and sharp cutoff frequency is proposed. This filter is composed of symmetrical cascaded modified hairpin resonators and U‐shaped resonators. The transition band is from 1 to 1.21 GHz with ?3 and ?20 dB, respectively.

The band‐stop rejection is greater than 20 dB from 1.21 to 26.35 GHz and 40 dB from 1.35 to 12.5 GHz. To validate the design and analysis, the proposed LPF has been designed and fabricated on a 20 mil thick RO4003 substrate with a relative dielectric constant 3.38 and loss tangent of 0.0021. The filter is evaluated by experiment and simulation with a good agreement. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 24:314–321, 2014.     

High‐order dual‐band superconducting filter with independently controllable passbands and wide stopband

A stepped‐impedance‐stub loaded stepped‐impedance resonator (SISLSIR) is proposed to design a dual‐band bandpass filter. The even‐ and odd‐mode frequencies and the coupling strength of the proposed resonators can be independently designed and adjusted. A dual‐feedline structure is used to meet the required external couplings of the 2 passbands. Thus, both the center frequencies and the bandwidths of the 2 passbands can be independently controlled. A 6‐pole dual‐band filter with the passbands of 3300～3600 MHz and 4800～5000 MHz is successfully designed using the proposed method and fabricated with YBCO/MgO high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) wafer. The measured results of the filter exhibit high performance and match well with the simulations. The measured insertion losses are less than 0.2/0.3 dB, and the return losses are greater than 15/14 dB for the lower/upper passbands, respectively. The out‐of‐band rejection is greater than 68 dB up to 12 GHz.     

Analysis and optimization of the unpredictable transmission zero in X‐band filter design

This article focuses on the common problem of uncontrollable transmission zero (TZ) in X‐band filter design. Using uniform impedance rectangular resonator (UIRR) to design an X‐band filter always results in an unpredictable TZ on the low‐frequency side of the passband, which greatly deteriorates the frequency selectivity of the filter performance. Electromagnetic coupling polarity analysis of the UIRR shows that the magnetic crosscoupling between nonadjacent resonators which is opposite to the main coupling plays a major role in the unpredictable TZ. By optimizing the UIRR from the loop structure with a small opening to the folded one, weak couplings between resonators are obtained. A high‐temperature superconducting filter at X‐band using folded UIRR resonator was designed and fabricated with a center frequency of 10.01 GHz and a bandwidth of 58 MHz, and the uncontrollable TZ has been removed successfully from the low‐frequency side of passband. The measured insertion loss is less than 0.4 dB and the return loss is greater than 15 dB.

Design of wideband comb shape substrate integrated waveguide multimode resonator bandpass filter with high selectivity and improved upper stopband performance

In this article, a wideband bandpass filter (BPF) is designed using the comb slotted substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavities. The comb‐shaped slots engraved on the SIW cavity are used to constitute a novel multiple‐mode resonator (MMR) that accomplishes a wide passband of operation.

Also, the proposed filter has steep selectivity and wide upper stopband with 25 dB attenuation from 16.7 to 24 GHz.
