Compact Structure With Three Attenuation Poles for Improving Stopband Characteristics

A novel compact structure with three controllable finite attenuation poles at stopband is presented. The new structure is composed of a pair of symmetrical parallel coupled-lines and a capacitive load. With this configuration, three finite attenuation poles are available, which can improve the stopband characteristics of low-pass filters (LPFs) or the upper stopband performances of band-pass filters. The research method is based on a transmission-line model for tuning the finite attenuation poles. In order to examine the feasibility of the proposed structure, a new type of LPF with broad stopband and sharp cutoff frequency response is designed, fabricated, and measured. The experimental results of the fabricated circuit agree well with the simulation and analytical ones     

Substrate Integrated Waveguide Loaded by Complementary Split-Ring Resonators and Its Applications to Miniaturized Waveguide Filters

A substrate integrated waveguide with square complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) etched on the waveguide surface is investigated in this paper. The proposed structures allow the implementation of a forward-wave passband propagating below the characteristic cutoff frequency of the waveguide. By changing the orientations of the CSRRs, which are incorporated in the waveguide surface and can be interpreted in terms of electric dipoles, varied passband characteristics are observed. A detailed explanation for the generation and variations of the passbands has been illuminated. The application of this waveguide and CSRR combination technique to the design of miniaturized waveguide bandpass filters characterized by transmission zeros is then illustrated. Filter design methodology is examined. These proposed filters exhibit high selectivity and compact size due to the employment of the subwavelength resonators and an evanescent-wave transmission. By slightly altering the configuration of the CSRRs, we find that the propagation of the TE₁₀ mode can be suppressed and filters with improved selectivity and stopband rejection can be obtained. To verify the presented concept, three different types of filters are fabricated based on the standard printed circuit board process. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulation.     

Effective negative-/spl epsiv/ stopband microstrip lines based on complementary split ring resonators

In this letter a super-compact stopband microstrip structure is proposed. The frequency gap is produced by an array of complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs)-a concept proposed here for the first time-etched on the ground plane. This behavior is interpreted as due to the presence of a negative effective dielectric permittivity in the vicinity of resonance. The resulting device produces a deep rejection frequency band with sharp cutoff, and a pass band that exhibits very low losses and good matching. Due to the sub-lambda operation of CSRRs, the electrical size of the device is very small.

A novel miniaturized power amplifier with nth harmonic suppression

In this paper, a novel miniaturized power amplifier (PA) matched by two proposed low pass filters (LPFs) with nth harmonics suppression is presented. In the proposed PA, the LPFs are employed as an output and input impedance transformer networks, which transform 50 Ω to the desired impedances. In the proposed PA the conventional output and input matching networks are eliminated, which results in 52% size reduction and 6% power added efficiency (PAE) improvement compared with the conventional PA. Moreover, using the LPFs at the output and input impressively suppress the unwanted harmonics (2nd–6th) with high level of attenuation. The proposed PA works at the 2.6 GHz, which is suitable for long term evolution (LTE) applications. The measured and simulated results are in the good agreement, which confirm the validity of the proposed method.     

Stopband‐Extended and Size‐Miniaturized Low‐Pass Filter with Three Transmission Zeros

This paper presents a compact structure composed of an upper high‐impedance transmission line, a middle extended parallel coupled line, and a pair of inter‐coupled symmetrical stepped impedance stubs. Detailed investigation into this structure based on an equivalent circuit analysis reveals that this proposed structure exhibits a quasi‐elliptic low‐pass filtering response with three transmission zeros. Moreover, the positions of the three transmission zeros can be tuned and reallocated flexibly by choosing the proper circuit parameters. Finally, the design concept is validated through the design, fabrication, and measurement of two exemplary low‐pass filters (LPFs) with one single unit and two cascaded asymmetric units. The measured results agree well with the simulated results. In addition, in the range of 1.42 f_c to 7.03 f_c, the fabricated quasi‐elliptic LPFs experimentally demonstrate a very wide upper‐stopband of 20 dB using a compact size of only , where λ_g is the guided wavelength of a 50 Ω transmission line at the central frequency.

Tunable stop-band filter at Q-band based on RF-MEMS metamaterials

Presented for the first time is a metamaterial transmission line that combines complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) and RF microelectromechanical systems (RF-MEMS). The device consists of a coplanar waveguide structure loaded in its central strip with CSRRs embedding RF-MEMS variable capacitors. Owing to the presence of the CSRRs, the structure behaves as a stop-band filter. Through the actuation of the electrostatic RF-MEMS devices, the electrical characteristics of the CSRRs are modified so that their resonance frequency, and as a result the central frequency of the stop-band filter, can be tuned. This is the first time that an RF-MEMS tunable metamaterial-based filter has been designed for operation at Q-band.     

On the electrical characteristics of complementary metamaterial resonators

In this letter, a method to obtain the electrical characteristics of complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) coupled to planar transmission lines is presented. CSRRs have been recently proposed by some of the authors as new constitutive elements for the synthesis of metamaterials with negative effective permittivity, and they have been applied to the fabrication of metamaterial-based circuits in planar technology. The method provides the electrical characteristics of CSRRs (including the intrinsic resonant frequency and the unloaded Q-factor), as well as the coupling capacitance between line and CSRRs, and the parameters of the host line. Parameter extraction from the proposed method is applied to two different structures corresponding to the basic cells of left handed (LH) and negative permittivity lines. The method is of actual interest for the design of microwave circuits and metamaterials based on these complementary resonant particles.
