一种改变交叉耦合极性的新方法

提出了一种用传输线在微带交叉滤波器和腔体交叉滤波器中实现交叉耦合极性改变的新方法。在微带交叉耦合滤波器中运用180°电长度的传输线实现源与非相邻谐振器的耦合,可使交叉耦合极性由容性变为感性。在腔体交叉耦合滤波器中,使用180°左右电长度的传输线,可使传输零点从阻带高端移动到阻带低端。讨论了不同电长度的传输线对交叉耦合的影响,通过调节传输线的电长度,控制传输零点的位置,提高滤波器的带外抑制。这种改变耦合极性的方法,可以用同一耦合方式获得任意位置的传输零点,给滤波器设计提供了更大的自由度。

改善开环谐振器间电耦合系数色散现象的微扰结构设计

以耦合矩阵综合方法设计的交叉耦合滤波器由于谐振器间耦合系数的色散现象,使滤波器的实际响应与理论综合得到的响应存在差异。针对此情况,首先研究了开环谐振器间电耦合系数随频率的变化趋势及其对交叉耦合滤波器中传输零点位置的影响,随后设计了一种加载于谐振器间的U型微扰结构,通过调节其物理尺寸及位置可以降低耦合系数的色散现象,优化滤波器带外传输零点的分布。基于上述思路,分别设计了传统CQ结构以及加载微扰结构的CQ结构滤波器,其中心频率和通带带宽分别为20.6 GHz和1.4 GHz,加载有微扰结构的滤波器其低频端带外零点相较于传统滤波器从18.6 GHz移动至19.4 GHz,且带内特性和高端传输零点均未受到影响,最终实测结果与仿真结果基本一致。

A Compact Open-Loop Filter With Mixed Electric and Magnetic Coupling

A novel cascaded microstrip open-loop resonator filter with controllable electric and magnetic mixed coupling is presented to have one or more transmission zeros. For two coupled resonators, the coupled sides with the maximum magnetic field are combined with their open gaps with the maximum electric field, creating the electric and magnetic mixed coupling. By adjusting the distances between resonators and the positions of open gaps in a mixed coupled filter, the coupling coefficients can be changed, and controllable transmission zeros can be produced in the lower stopband, upper stopband, or both. Design and fabrication of the proposed second-and fourth-order filters show the advantages: such as a smaller number of resonators, higher rejection level, as well as asymmetrical response; moreover, the location of the transmission zeros can be precisely controlled.     

Microstrip Parallel-Coupled Filters With Cascade Trisection and Quadruplet Responses

Microstrip parallel-coupled filters with generalized Chebyshev responses are presented. The basic structure of the proposed filter is a conventional parallel-coupled filter of which the physical dimensions can be easily obtained by the well-known analytical method. With the aid of the equivalent circuit corresponding to a conventional parallel-coupled filter, the relative insertion phase from source or load to each open end of resonators can be easily obtained by observing the two-port admittance matrix. Applying the cross coupling from source or load to a proper nonadjacent resonator, a trisection or a quadruplet coupling scheme can be realized with prescribed transmission zeros. More importantly, the proposed trisection can be designed to have a transmission zero on the lower or upper stopband by just adjusting the length of the cross-coupling strip. Using the proposed structure, the conventional time-consuming adjusting procedure to obtain initial physical dimensions of filters is no longer required. In this paper, a fourth-order parallel-coupled filter is used as the basic structure to demonstrate various combinations of transmission zeros. Simulated and measured results are well matched.      

Novel half-mode substrate integrated waveguide bandpass filters using semi-hexagonal resonators

In this paper, a novel bandpass filter is presented, designed, and implemented by using a triple mode semi-hexagonal Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (HMSIW) cavity, which has the advantages of compact size, low insertion loss, and high selectivity in upper and lower passband. To realize a triple mode filter, the first resonant mode is shifted to near the next two modes using a via hole perturbation. Two microstrip open stubs connected to open edge of HMSIW resonator are introduced to generate two transmission zeros in the lower passband. The position of transmission zeros could be controlled by adjusting the coupling gap between the microstrip open stub resonators. By etching an E-shape slot on the top plate of HMSIW resonator, two other transmission zeros are produced in the upper passband. A wide-band planar six-pole bandpass filter, which has the advantages of wide bandwidth and small size, is also proposed and fabricated by cascading two triple mode resonators. Measured results indicate that 29% and 47% fractional bandwidth, as well as approximately 1 dB and 1.1 dB insertion loss, are achieved for the proposed filters. Measured results of all those filters agree well with the simulated results.     

Direct synthesis of a new class of bandstop filters

A direct synthesis technique of a new class of bandstop coupled resonator elliptic filters is presented. Two different coupling schemes, which both include source-load coupling are used. The first coupling and routing scheme is the standard folded structure used in implementing bandpass elliptic filters with N transmission zeros using N resonators. The second coupling scheme is identical to the multipath parallel structure, which was recently introduced for the synthesis of fully elliptic bandpass filters. In both cases, the source and load are directly coupled by an inverter in order to generate the required transmission zeros. It is shown that, for each coupling scheme, two distinct solutions that are not related by a similarity transformation exist. Furthermore, the two solutions both have realistic coupling coefficients in contrast to the bandpass case where only one solution, in general, is practical. It is also shown that the same coupling scheme can implement pseudoelliptic bandstop filters with N/sub z/ reflection zeros where 0/spl les/N/sub z//spl les/N.

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.

Modeling and Optimization of Compact Microwave Bandpass Filters

This paper presents the modeling and optimization of compact microwave bandpass filters whose compactness leads to complex and strong stray coupling paths, thereby making the identification of a simple and sparse coupling topology difficult and even impossible. The strong coupling coefficients needed for a broadband response can also cause an ambiguity in identifying the spatial extent of local resonances. An equivalent circuit, which is extracted directly from Maxwell's equations, is used in optimizing these filters. The filter is represented by its global resonances instead of individual resonators. The extraction of the parameters of the equivalent circuit is carried out in the physical frequency and not in the normalized frequency in order to preserve the physicality of the equivalent circuit, especially for asymmetric responses. The technique is successfully applied to the optimization of second-order suspended stripline bandpass filters with one transmission zero either below or above the passband, as well as fourth-order filters with three transmission zeros. A fourth-order filter with three transmission zeros is fabricated and measured.
