Dual-band bandpass filters using equal-length coupled-serial-shunted lines and Z-transform technique

A synthesizing method is presented to design and implement digital dual-band filters in the microwave frequency range. A dual-band filter consists of a bandstop filter and a wide-band bandpass filter in a cascade connection, wherein the transfer functions of both the bandpass filter and bandstop filter are expressed in the Z domain. The bandstop filter is implemented by using a coupled-serial-shunted line structure, while the wide-band bandpass filter is constructed by using a serial-shunted line configuration. In particular, the bandwidth of each passband of the dual-band filter is controllable by adjusting the characteristics of both the bandpass filter and bandstop filter. By neglecting the dispersion effect between microstrip lines of different widths over a wide bandwidth, a dual-band filter is realized in the form of microstrip lines and its frequency responses are measured to validate this method.     

Piezoelectric transducer tuned bandstop filter

The high performance bandstop filter is useful for many microwave applications

Examples are given to illustrate typical design procedures for both bandpass and bandstop applications. Experimental results are presented for an octave bandstop design.     

A Dual-Band Filter Realized by Alternately Connecting the Main Transmission-Line With Shunt Stubs and Shunt Serial Resonators

In this letter, we present a novel network for dual-band filter, the circuit of which is a mixture of shunt stub bandpass filter and shunt serial resonator bandstop filter. The stopband of the bandstop filter will split the passband of the bandpass filter and result in a dual-band response. The simulated and measured results are given. This kind of filter has the advantage of bigger and controllable bandwidths and lower insertion loss compared with traditional SIR dual-band filters.

A Microstrip Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter With Cascaded Broadband Bandpass and Bandstop Filters

This paper develops a novel ultra-wideband bandpass filter by cascading a broadband bandpass filter with another broadband bandstop filter. Properly selected impedances of transmission lines achieve broadband bandpass and bandstop filters and make independent designs possible. Detailed design and synthesis procedures are provided; moreover, agreement between measured and theoretically predicted results demonstrates feasibility of the proposed filter. Due to its simple structure, the ultra-wideband bandpass filter newly introduced in this paper is suitable for integration in the single-chipped circuit or implementation on printed circuit boards.     

Channel Multiplexing Network for a Millimeter Waveguide Transmission System

The Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (NTT) plans to make a field test for the practical application of the W-40G millimeter waveguide transmission system, using a frequency range of 43 GHz to 87 GHz and a clock frequency of 403 MBd. This paper describes channel multiplexing-demultiplexing networks fabricated for use in the test. First, frequency allocation and construction of the 43 ∼ 87 GHz multiplexing-demultiplexing networks are discussed. Second, newly developed hardware consisting of band-splitting filters and channel-dropping filters is described. Finally, overall loss, frequency response in amplitude and delay and pulse waveform transmission characteristics are shown. The overall losses of the networks constructed by three stages, namely, band-splitting filters (I), (II), and a channel-dropping filter, are 8 ∼ 12 dB over the frequency range from 43 GHz to 87 GHz, with the channel-dropping filters only partly installed. The experimental results suggest that these multiplexing-demultiplexing networks are suitable for the millimeter wave guided wave communication system.     

Waveguide Sandwich Filters

A new class of waveguide filters is introduced, constructed from several thin plates sandwiched together. The combination of alternate plates having large and small rectangular apertures leads to a propagating structure which possesses a bandstop response and prescribed characteristic impedance. This basic element may be used as a simple compact bandstop filter, particularly where the main passband and stopband are well separated, such as in harmonic rejection. For filters with many stopbands, combinations of several waveguide sandwich filter elements are used to provide the main passband and the required attenuation characteristics in the prescribed stopbands. Although the filter is ideally suited for bandstop filtering due to its small size, low cost, low loss, and high power handling capability, additional applications to bandpass filtering and dispersive delay line operation are also cited.     

Channel-dropping coupled-line filter

A novel type of channel-dropping filter, constructed in a rectangular dielectric waveguide, is described. The basis of the device is the linear frequency dependence of the coupling coefficient between two identical rods of certain dimensions. An experimental 4-channel filter in the 30?40 GHz band gives losses comparable with those of metal-waveguide commutative filters.

Flattened Broadband Notch Filters Using Guided-Mode Resonance Associated With Asymmetric Binary Gratings

In this letter, the broadband notch filter exhibiting a flattened bandstop spectral response is experimentally demonstrated for the first time by using the guided-mode resonance associated with the periodic subwavelength structure possessing asymmetric binary grating profiles. The proposed filter consisting of grating and waveguide structures is realized by utilizing a single-layer poly-silicon film deposited on a quartz substrate. The asymmetric grating profile is carried out by dividing the one-filling-factor binary structure into the one with two distinct filling factors within one identical period. A flat bandstop spectral response at the central wavelength of 1.22 mum is obtained under normal incidence for transverse-electric polarization. Its transmittance of bandstop spectrum can be suppressed as low as -20dB within a broad spectral range of 85 nm and its corresponding Deltalambda/lambda is larger than 6%. The spectra under oblique incidence are demonstrated to verify the proposed filter has a high immunity for the angular deviation up to 20deg     

CPW bandstop filter using slot-type SRRs

The bandstop characteristic of a slot-type split-ring resonator (SRR) on a substrate used for microwave frequencies is presented for a bandstop filter. Analogously to the conventional strip-type SRR, the slot-type SRR is very attractive for notching unwanted band because of its small dimension and high Q operation. In addition, the complementary SRR can be easily applied for coplanar configuration, which is favourable to MMIC designs. Based on the simulation and measurement results, the slot-type SRR for the bandstop filter is very effective in rejecting unwanted frequency in terms of its selectivity and size.

Compact and wideband microstrip bandstop filter

A novel one-section bandstop filter (BSF), which possesses the characteristics of compact size, wide bandwidth, and low insertion loss is proposed and fabricated. This bandstop filter was constructed by using single quarter-wavelength resonator with one section of anti-coupled lines with short circuits at one end. The attenuation-pole characteristics of this type of bandstop filters are investigated through TEM transmission-line model. Design procedures are clearly presented. The 3-dB bandwidth of the first stopband and insertion loss of the first passband of this BSF is from 2.3 GHz to 9.5 GHz and below 0.3 dB, respectively. There is good agreement between the simulated and experimental results.
