Dual band notched UWB-BPF based on hybrid microstrip-to-CPW transition

The research paper proposes a compact dual notched band ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF). The basic architecture of the filter is developed using the hybrid microstrip-to-coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology, wherein a short circuited CPW in ground is coupled vertically via the dielectric to the microstrip lines on the top plane. The broadside alignment generates a three pole BPF with dual transmission zeros (TZs) on either passband/stopband edges which leads to minimum insertion loss passband and sharp roll-offs. Later, multiple spirals and split ring resonators (SRRs) are embedded in the CPW of the UWB filter to introduce the dual notches and widen the stopband respectively. The proposed filter is fabricated to justify its measured response. The proposed filter measures only 14.6 × 7.3 mm².     

Compact wide stopband lowpass filter using spiral loaded tapered compact microstrip resonator cell

A new spiral loaded tapered compact microstrip resonator cell (SPLT-CMRC) is presented. The addition of spiral stubs to the CMRC creates transmission zeroes in the stopband which extended the stopband of the ?lter. The proposed resonator is used to design a compact lowpass ?lter (LPF) with wide and high rejection in stopband. The fabricated ?lter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency at 8 GHz. The insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.2 dB from DC to 7.2 GHz. The proposed ?lter has wide stopband from 9.47 to 40 GHz with attenuation level of ?20 dB. The demonstrated filter is designed and fabricated. There is a good agreement between the measured and simulated S-parameters.

Periodic stepped-impedance ring resonator (PSIRR) bandpass filter with a miniaturized area and desirable upper stopband characteristics

A periodic stepped-impedance ring resonator (PSIRR) is proposed to design dual-mode bandpass filters with a miniaturized area and desirable upper stopband characteristics. Design parameters of a PSIRR include impedance ratio R of the hi-Z to low-Z sections, their lengths, and number of impedance steps 2N. The resonant characteristics of PSIRRs with various N and R values are investigated by both the transmission-line theory and electromagnetic simulation. Proper choice of the above parameters leads to an optimal reduction of circuit area and extension of upper rejection bandwidth. Two extra transmission zeros exist in the upper stopband and are tunable via changing the arm lengths of the line-to-ring coupling structure. Realized by the standard microstrip technology, the dual-mode PSIRR bandpass filter has not only the first spurious response at higher than 3.7/spl times/ the passband frequency, but also an area reduction of better than 60% against a conventional ring filter. Experimental results of several fabricated circuits validate the analysis and theoretical prediction.     

Design and analysis of a super compact wide-band bandpass filter based on metamaterial resonators

In this paper, a novel compact wide-band bandpass filter (BPF) with a wide frequency range is presented. This filter consisting of a multi-mode resonator (MMR) and four metamaterial unit-cells benefits from a very compact size. Unit-cells based on a complementary spiral resonator (CSR) including a metallic via, improve both upper and lower stopband rejection and compensate the insertion loss (I.L) within the passband altogether. This wide-band filter presents a 3-dB bandwidth of 7.7 GHz, ranging from 3 GHz to 10.7 GHz and the Insertion loss is less than 0.7 dB over the passband. The measured results are in good agreement with both the full-wave electromagnetic simulation and the proposed circuit model results. The dimension of the fabricated filter is 0.128 λ × 0.1 λ (i.e., 5.6 × 4.4 mm²). This filter is considerably compact compared to the other wide-band bandpass filters with the same substrate.

Design methods are also introduced, and the measurement of the fabricated example is presented for validating the filter configuration.

Miniaturized Dual-Mode Ring Bandpass Filters With Patterned Ground Plane

Miniaturized dual-mode ring bandpass filters with a patterned ground plane are proposed. By loading the resonator periodically with the butterfly radial slot cells on the ground plane, the size of a ring filter is reduced along with an extended upper stopband. Based on the equivalent circuits, the mode-splitting characteristics and impact of the patterned ground plane on the electrical performances of the filter are investigated. A slotline ring filter with a patterned ground plane is also proposed. The miniaturization is achieved by loading the periphery of the slotline ring with the butterfly radial stubs at the backside. The filter has a higher first spurious response and deeper stopband rejection than a conventional microstrip ring filter. Measured results validate the analysis and theoretical prediction with good agreement.

Microstrip Lowpass Filter with Very Sharp Transition Band and Wide Stopband

A novel lowpass filter with a very sharp transition band and wide stopband is proposed. The proposed filter is based on T‐shaped patches which are etched in symmetrical structures and folded open stub. To obtain a wide stopband, we have used stub loaded semi‐circle stepped‐impedance structures.

The proposed filter has a 3‐dB cutoff frequency at 2.37 GHz and a 40‐dB rejection at 2.44 GHz. The stopband with an attenuation level better than –13.2 dB is up from 2.4 GHz to 16 GHz, and consequently we have reached the high and wide rejection in stopband with compact size. Good agreements between the simulated and the measured results are presented.

Dual‐Transmission‐Line Microstrip Equiripple Lowpass Filter with Sharp Roll‐Off

A novel application of a dual‐transmission line is proposed to design a lowpass filter (LPF). The proposed structure uses only transmission line elements to produce an equiripple LPF response with sharp roll‐off. Design equations are derived using a lossless transmission line model.
