Optimal design of third‐order microstrip bandpass filters by direct synthesis technique (DST)

To design microstrip filters is not easy for the sake of their distributed‐element effect. Undoubtedly, to understand their physical mechanism is very important to their design. In this paper, one effective approach to design some third‐order microstrip bandpass filters with each of 2 transmission zeros at each side of the passband is discussed. Lumped‐element equivalent circuits are used to represent these microstrip filters. Then, these lumped‐element equivalent circuits can be synthesized by direct synthesis technique we recently proposed, so that it is likely to calculate initial structural parameters of these microstrip filters and then facilitate their design. Verified by the measured results of the filter designed through the approach in this paper, the performance of the filters is close to ideal frequency responses. Furthermore, another third‐order microstrip bandpass filter is presented, in which open‐circuited stubs at input/output ports are introduced to suppress one specified harmonic to improve out‐of‐band attenuation.     

Narrow-band stripline filters with transmission zeros at finite frequencies

A design method is described to realize narrow-band stripline or microstrip bandpass filters having one transmission zero near to the upper and lower bandedge. The filters utilize capacitively coupled open half-wave TEM-line resonators. Two nonadjacent resonators are also inductively coupled. No short circuits are needed. The design is based on the approximate or exact synthesis of the lowpass protoype presented by Levy. The transmission line parameters are obtained easily from the design formulae which have been derived using the susceptance (or reactance) slope parameter technique. The filter performance is good up to 12 per cent bandwidth. Measured results show good agreement with the theoretical ones.

Microstrip band‐pass filters without source/load inverters

In radio frequency/microwave or even higher frequency range, various transmission‐line filters have been proposed for frequency selection. Specifically, there is a kind of transmission‐line filters not having source/load inverters. To design them is somewhat difficult, if their physical mechanism is not fully understood. In this paper, the concept of the distributed‐ to lumped‐element equivalence is applied in the synthesis of several microstrip band‐pass filters without source/load inverters. As demonstrated, it can help to reveal the physical mechanism of the filters such as how the resonances are created and coupled. In addition, the distributed‐ to lumped‐element equivalence relations between filter specifications and structural parameters are presented and good initial dimensions are calculated, which will facilitate filter design. Several examples are presented for demonstration.     

Microstrip bandpass filter design using split‐path method and optimized curvature corrections

Bandpass filters with wide pass‐band are an essential requirement in various equipments of satellite and defence communication sectors. Here a method of split‐path interactions is proposed to approximately predict the resonant frequency and topology of bandpass filters which otherwise fall under the category of heuristic designs. Curved transmission lines are often required to make filter structures physically compact; however, curvature effects create errors in the theoretical (design) prediction of resonant or central frequencies for bandpass filter design. Earlier propositions on curvature corrections had been considerably precise, but recent design standards demand even higher accuracies. The prime feature of this work is the use of a meta‐heuristic optimization (i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization) technique in curvature corrections for the first time which brings accuracies of over 99% in the corrected results. The split paths used in this design are suitably curved, with the proposed optimized curvature correction technique, so as to attain a compact size of the filter. The resulting filter has a low insertion loss of around −1.00 dB and a sharp stopband cut‐off. Fabrication was done on a FR4 microstrip substrate with a good agreement between measured and simulated results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modeling of bandpass filter using defected ground structure and defected microstrip structure

In this present work a novel concept for designing of tunable bandpass filter has been introduced with the help of end coupled microstrip transmission line, defected ground structure (DGS) and defected microstrip structure (DMS). Utilizing this concept, one bandpass filter of 8 GHz center frequency with 30 % fractional bandwidth (FBW) at ?3 dB has been implemented for the applications of X-band communication systems. The structure has been simulated with Method of Moment (MoM) based IE3D EM simulator and Measured with Agilent make vector network analyzer of model N5230A. Finally, the simulated result and measurement result provides good agreement between them.     

A dual-mode tunable bandpass filter for GSM,UMTS, WiFi,and WiMAX standards applications

This paper presents a dual-mode tunable bandpass filter (BPF) for global system for mobile communication, universal mobile telecommunications system, wireless fidelity, and worldwide interoperability for microwave access standard applications. The proposed filter consists of a stepped-impedance resonator, single resonator, and coupled line, which are loaded with varactors. The center frequency and bandwidth of the proposed filter can be tuned with tuning varactors. Furthermore, the measurement results show that the BPF can be tuned over the frequency range of 1.8 to 2.5 GHz. Moreover, the bandwidth can be changed at each certain frequency. Furthermore, using PIN diodes, a bandstop filter is added to the tunable BPF to reduce the out-of-band frequencies around the desired frequencies. The values of LC equivalent circuits are calculated, and the results are compared with those obtained from the layout of the proposed structure. Finally, the measurement results justify the simulation results.

Lumped-element filtering power dividers

A power divider is ideally a lossless reciprocal device performing vector summation of two or more input signals, which is an extremely important circuit component in wireless communication systems or radar systems. In this paper, a general concept of lumped-element power divider is discussed. Then, a semi-analytical synthesis technique is presented. General odd-mode and even-mode analysis method is proposed for multi-port symmetrical network and applied in the analysis of N-way lumped-element power dividers. The transmission networks and the matching networks can be synthesized step by step, which greatly simplify their analysis. The transmission networks can be synthesized by those well-known synthesis techniques for two-port networks, and thus the transmission property of power dividers can be accurately controlled. The matching networks are determined by optimization to ensure certain isolation between the output ports. The design procedure is simple and accurate. Apart from the capability of power division, power dividers are also able to play the role of impedance transform and signal processing.
