Investigation of the bandpass properties of the local impedance of slow-wave structures

The properties of the local coupling impedance that determines the efficiency of the electron-wave interaction in periodic slow-wave structures are investigated. This impedance is determined (i) through the characteristics of the electromagnetic field in a slow-wave structure and (ii) through the parameters of a two-port chain simulating the structure. The continuous behavior of the local coupling impedance in the passbands of slow-wave structures, at the boundaries of the passbands, and beyond the passbands is confirmed with the help of a waveguide-resonator model.     

Compact triple-passband bandpass filter based on new modified stepped impedance resonators

This study proposed a triple-passband bandpass filter with compact size, low loss and high passband selectivity. The filter includes two coupled stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) and two embedded stub-loaded stepped impedance resonators (SL-SIRs), connected with coupling scheme at the symmetric plane of the filter. The filter is designed to have triple-passband at 2.4, 3.5 and 5.2 GHz for worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. By properly tuning the impedance ratio and physical length ratio of the SL-SIRs, the three passbands can be easily determined, at the same time, achieving the high passband selectivity and wide stopband. Besides, the transmission zeros near passband edges of each passband are generated by the proposed filter with cross-coupling structure. The measured results are in good agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation results.     

Comparative analysis of the Curnow and Malykhin-Konnov-Komarov (MKK) circuits as representations of coupled-cavity slow-wave structures

Two lumped element models of coupled-cavity slow-wave structures, one due to Curnow (1965) and another due to Malykhin, Konnov, and Komarov (MKK) (2003), are compared. The basis of comparison is the level of accuracy with which the models reproduce the cold circuit phase velocity and characteristic impedance of the structures as functions of frequency, as obtained from numerical solutions of Maxwell's field equations. Two distinct types of coupled-cavity structure are analyzed using these two models. These are a C-band double staggered ladder circuit and an L-band slot coupled "Hughes-type" structure. We find for the C-band case, both the Curnow and MKK models give excellent representations of both the cavity and slot bands, but for the L-band case the Curnow model has no solution when an attempt is made to fit both the cavity and slot bands, while the MKK model accurately represents both bands in this case.     

Microstrip "wiggly-line" bandpass filters with multispurious rejection

A method to achieve the rejection of multiple spurious passbands in parallel-coupled-line microstrip bandpass filters is proposed. As it was previously demonstrated by the authors, using a continuous perturbation of the width of the coupled-lines following a sinusoidal law, the wave impedance can be modulated so that the first undesired harmonic passband of the filter is rejected, while the desired passband is maintained virtually unaltered. In this letter, the scope of the method is extended to reject multiple spurious passbands by employing different periods in each coupled-line section tuned to the different bands to be rejected. Simulated and measured data show that for an order-seven bandpass filter prototype, a rejection level exceeding 30 dB is obtained in the first four spurious passbands, while the desired pass-band is kept almost unaltered.     

Transmission through a two-layer array of loaded slots

The mutual admittance method is used to calculate the transmission through a two layer array of slots. The slot arrays are thin and parallel. The plane wave illumination is at an arbitrary angle in either theE-plane orH-plane. The mutual admittance between two slot antennas, either in the same or different planes, is derived. In this derivation it is assumed that the slots are small enough so that when short-circuited at their terminals the electric field scattered from the slot is negligible. The evaluation of the mutual admittance sums is simplified by the extension to the slot case of certain impedance relationships established previously for a two-layer dipole array. For many applications the two-layer slot array is more desirable than a single-layer array since a wider passband and sharper skirts can be obtained with proper design. The analysis shows, however, that for high incidence angles the dip in the center of the passband may be deeper than for the similar two-layer dipole array.     

Design of Compact Tri-Band Bandpass Filters Using Assembled Resonators

A novel approach for designing tri-band bandpass filters with independently controllable center frequencies and improved stopband rejection characteristic is presented in this paper. The assembled resonator constructed by a stepped impedance resonator and a common half-wavelength resonator is employed to obtain tri-band response. The stepped impedance resonator is designed to operate at the first and third passbands and the other resonator is designed to operate at the second passband. Two kinds of filter configurations with cascaded and pseudointerdigital formats are proposed. Based on lossless lumped-element equivalent circuit, it is found that both filter structures can introduce transmission zeros between passbands. To verify the proposed approach, two filters are designed and fabricated, the measured results exhibit tri-band bandpass responses with high selectivity.     

Equivalent surface impedance of an infinite periodic array of slot impedance loads based on a semicylinder cavity

A problem of finding the equivalent surface impedance of an infinite periodic array of slot impedance loads based on a semicylinder cavity. The problem is solved by the integral-equation method. As the numerical method for solving the integral equation, the Krylov-Bogoliubov method is used. The results of the numerical experiment are presented in the form of dependences of the impedance on the cavity radius, slot width, conductor width, and angle of electromagnetic-wave incidence. The angular dependences of the impedance are compared to the earlier results obtained for an array of rectangular grooves and a single impedance load based on a semicylinder cavity.     

A novel compact dual-wideband BPF with multiple transmission zeros and super wide upper stopband

In this article, a novel miniaturised dual-wideband bandpass filter (DWB-BPF) based on two different resonators including a quasi-spiral loaded multiple-mode resonator (QSL-MMR) and L-shaped transmission line (LS-TL) is presented. At the first step, in order to design a single wideband BPF filter with controllable transmission zeros near the centre frequency, the open circuit impedance parameter of quasi-spiral loaded resonator Z₂₁ is determined in terms of ABCD matrix. Then an equivalent circuit model of the proposed structure is derived and the impedance characteristic and electrical length of LS-TLs to achieve a DWB-BPF with excellent selectivity are calculated through even- and odd-mode analysis. The proposed filter possesses both compact and simple structure as well as two wide passbands with fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 70% and 22.8% for its first and second passbands, respectively. The proposed technique creates two transmission zeros at the lower and upper stopbands of each passband resulting in a very sharp roll-off accompanied by a wide stopband. Notably, the circuit size is reduced and the bandwidth is enhanced in comparison with its conventional counterparts. The theoretical performance of the filter is verified by the experimental one where a good agreement is reported between them.     

Rectangular and zonal slots on a sphere with a backing shell: theory and experiment

A rectangular slot antenna on a spherical cavity with a conducting backing shell is investigated rigorously. The Green's function approach is used to formulate an integral equation for the magnetic slot current, which is solved using the moment method. Two previously developed methods to evaluate the admittance integrals are used and compared with each other. Both methods use recurrence formulas and analytical integration to speed the computation. The slot and cavity resonances of the structure are studied. In particular, two simple formulas for the first two natural resonances of the cavity structure are given. The effects of the shell size, slot length, and cavity dielectric constant on the input impedance are discussed. Measurements were carried out to verify the theory, and very good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. In addition, the zonal slot antenna on a spherical cavity with a conducting backing shell is studied. The effect of the shell radius on the input impedance is investigated and, again, very good agreement between theory and experiment is found.     

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.     

Design of Artificial Lumped-Element Coplanar Waveguide Filters With Controllable Dual-Passband Responses

This study develops an analytical design methodology for synthesizing dual-passband filters with controllable frequency responses. The novel dual-passband filters are constructed from the artificial lumped-element coplanar waveguide stub whose behavior is equivalent to that of a parallel connection of series LC and shunt LC resonators. To improve the frequency response within two passbands, the impedance matching and the phase and impedance compensations are employed in filter design by attaching additional inductors and capacitors to dual-passband resonators. Two types of filters with significantly different bandwidth and separation of two passbands are implemented and the measured results are very consistent with the theoretical predictions, sufficiently validating the proposed design methodology and filter configuration. The proposed filters realized by artificial lumped-element resonators provide the advantages over conventional dual-passband filters in terms of compact size, spurious dc passband elimination, and deep suppression between two passbands.

Rectangularly bent slot antennas backed by a rectangular cavity for circular polarization are proposed. Characteristics of three types of cavity-backed rectangularly bent slot antennas for circular polarization-the single square loop slot, the two-element square loop slot, and the two-arm square spiral slot antenna-are analyzed numerically. The generalized network formulation based on the equivalence principle is given in terms of the method of moments. The magnetic currents on the thin rectangularly bent slots in the presence of the backing cavity are obtained and used to calculate the input impedance, radiation pattern, and axial ratio. Experimental results on the input impedance, radiation pattern, and axial ratio are in good agreement with calculated data

Theory and experiment of the cavity-backed slot-excited dielectricresonator antenna

A slot-excited hemispherical dielectric resonator antenna backed by a rectangular cavity is studied theoretically and experimentally. The magnetic-type dyadic Green's function for the rectangular cavity is derived using the mode-matching method. An integral equation for the equivalent magnetic current is obtained by enforcing the boundary condition across the slot.

Measurements were carried out to verify the theory and good agreement is obtained. The effects of the slot inclination angle, of the slot offset, and of the cavity size on the input impedance are discussed
