Compact Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter Using Dual-Line Coupling Structure

This letter presents a novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) microstrip bandpass filter with spurious response suppression. A dual-mode ring resonator is constituted to allocate its first two resonant frequencies in the UWB band, and the dual-line parallel-coupled structure is used in this compact UWB filter, which is expected to achieve much tighter coupling degree. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing a wide passband from 4.9 to 10.9 GHz, 15 dB return loss bandwidth of about 5 GHz, minimum insertion loss of 0.49 dB at 7.3 GHz, and wide upper stopband with more than 20 dB attenuation up to 20 GHz.     

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     

Compact UWB Bandpass Filter Using Stub-Loaded Multiple-Mode Resonator

A compact microstrip-line ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) using the proposed stub-loaded multiple-mode resonator (MMR) is presented. This MMR is formed by loading three open-ended stubs in shunt to a simple stepped-impedance resonator in center and two symmetrical locations, respectively. By properly adjusting the lengths of these stubs, the first four resonant modes of this MMR can be evenly allocated within the 3.1-to-10.6 GHz UWB band while the fifth resonant frequency is raised above 15.0GHz. It results in the formulation of a novel UWB BPF with compact-size and widened upper-stopband by incorporating this MMR with two interdigital parallel-coupled feed lines. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing improved UWB bandpass behaviors with the insertion loss lower than 0.8dB, return loss higher than 14.3dB, and maximum group delay variation less than 0.64ns in the realized UWB passband     

Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter Using Multilayer Liquid-Crystal-Polymer Technology

Novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters are proposed based on quasi-lumped-element prototypes and implemented with multilayer liquid-crystal-polymer (LCP) technology. In this study, the broadside-coupled microstrip radial stubs and high-impedance microstrip lines are adopted as quasi-lumped elements for realizing compact UWB bandpass filters. By introducing a short-circuited high-impedance microstrip line as a shunt inductor and suitably designing quasi-lumped-element capacitors, a compact six-pole bandpass filter is implemented with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defined UWB specifications. To further improve the selectivity and wideband performance, an eight-pole filter of this type is developed by adding two shunt short-circuited microstrip stubs, which introduce a transmission zero at the upper passband edge. The proposed filters are fabricated using multilayer LCP technology. Good agreement between simulated and measured results of these filters are observed. The measured results show that the fabricated six-pole filter has good specifications for the FCC-defined UWB system. The fabricated eight-pole filter has an ultra-wide fractional bandwidth (139%) and a good stopband rejection level, which is higher than 38.1 dB from 10.57 to 18.0 GHz. The proposed filters are attractive for UWB communications and radar systems.

Ultra-wideband bandpass filter using hybrid quasi-lumped elements and defected ground structure

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. The LPF achieved by a hybrid microstrip and four backside slots on the ground plane is equivalent to a typical 9-pole stepped-impedance LPF. Combining these two structures, a new UWB bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed bandpass filter has a wide bandwidth from 3.1 to 11 GHz, and insertion loss is less than 1.2 dB over the most central passband. It also achieves a wide stop band with 20 dB attenuation up to 20 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.     

Small Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter With Notched Band

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with notched band has been proposed and implemented in this letter. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures (DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Combining these two structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF. Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network (WLAN) radio signals. An experimental UWB filter with notched band was fabricated with 35% less length as compared to an embedded open-circuited stub. The measured BPF insertion loss is less than 1.0 dB throughout the pass band of 2.8 to 10.8 GHz, the variation of group delay less than 0.20 ns in this band except for the notched band, and a wide stopband bandwidth with 20 dB attenuation up to at least 20.0 GHz.

The design and implementation of a planar ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter are presented. Three interdigital edge coupled microstrip lines are used for coupling enhancement. A stepped impedance open stub is used for realizing transmission zeros simultaneously in upper and lower stop bands as well as impedance matching in ultra-wide pass band. A pass band from 3.1-10.6 GHz is achieved with an insertion loss of 0.5 dB, a return loss of about 18 dB, a sharp out-of-band-rejection, and a low group delay of only 0.21ns. Single- and double-section filters are realized to meet the UWB mask requirement. The design of the filter is simple, and it shows good frequency response.
