Compact microstrip low pass filter with flat group-delay using triangle-shaped resonators

In this paper, a compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) using triangle-shaped resonators is presented. The designed LPF includes three symmetric triangle-shaped resonators to provide a suitable passband and sharp response. A suppressing unit composed of several suppressing cells is designed to obtain a wide rejection band and low insertion loss in the passband. The fabricated LPF has been measured and indicts that it has −3 dB cut off frequency at 5.15 GHz. The rejection band has been expended from 5.51 GHz to 43.2 GHz with maximally flat return loss in this region nearby to 0 dB. Also, simulation and experimental results show that the proposed filter has a very flat group delay in the passband, which is the minimum value in comparison with the published works since 2017.     

Compact microstrip lowpass filter with wide stopband and sharp roll-off using tapered resonator

In this article, a novel microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with specifications such as sharp cut-off, wide stopband, low insertion loss and high return loss using tapered resonator is presented. The LPF has cut-off frequency of 1.11 GHz, where unwanted harmonics are suppressed by novel tapered cells. The bandwidth is enhanced, and the size is reduced as compared to the conventional tapered filter. The transition band is approximately 0.29 GHz from 1.11 to 1.4 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of –3 and –20 dB, respectively. The stopband with greater than –20 dB rejection is from 1.4 to 8.9 GHz, insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.1 dB, return loss is less than –18 dB and the overall size of the filter is 0.12 × 0.073 λ_g. The proposed filter is fabricated and measured. The simulation and measurement results are in good agreement. This LPF is designed for microwave communication applications, especially wireless video transmitters.     

Synthesis and design of an LPF with wide-stop band and high rejection level

In this paper, a compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) is designed, analyzed, simulated, and tested. The proposed design that consists of a basic part in the central section of the structure and two parts of suppression of harmonics that are inserted in the first and last sections of the basic part, have wide-stop band, high suppression factor (−38 dB attenuation level from 2.4 GHz up to 27.4 GHz), low normalized size and sharp roll-off. The proposed LPF has a −3 dB cut-off frequency of 2.4 GHz, a wide stopband bandwidth around 11th harmonic suppression and an insertion loss less than 0.1 dB at passband. This filter has been fabricated and tested and good agreement is observed between the simulated and measured results.     

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.     

Microstrip Lowpass Filter with Very SharpTransition Band Using T‐Shaped,Patch, and Stepped Impedance Resonators

A compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with an elliptic function response is proposed. A high equivalent capacitance and inductance between the structures of the resonator result in the sharp transition band of 0.04 GHz from 4 GHz to 4.04 GHz with an attenuation level of ?3 dB and ?20 dB, respectively. To improve the LPF rejection band, multiple open stubs are connected to the proposed resonator. A filter with a 3‐dB cut‐off frequency at 4 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured, and agreement between the measured and simulated results is achieved. The results show that a stopband bandwidth of 131% with a suppression level better than ?20 dB is obtained while achieving a compact size with a wide stopband.     

Compact Elliptic-Function Low-Pass Filter Using Defected Ground Structure

A novel elliptic-function low-pass filter (LPF) is presented, which consists of a dumb-bell-shaped defected ground structure (DB-DGS), a spiral-shaped defected ground structure (SP-DGS) and a broadened microstrip line. The DB-DGS provides the required wideband attenuation in stopband, while the SP-DGS provides steep transition from passband to stopband. A 2.4 GHz five-pole LPF is developed and experimental results show that it has a sharp cutoff frequency response. The measured passband insertion-loss is below 0.3 dB, and the rejection band over 20 dB is from 2.95 to 8.25 GHz.      

Ultra-wideband bandpass filter using hybrid quasi-lumped elements and defected ground structure

A compact planar microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented. The proposed UWB filter is realised by cascading a highpass filter (HPF) and a lowpass filter (LPF). Additional U-slot defected ground structure is adopted to improve the attenuation performance in the stop band. The HPF consists of inter-digital capacitors and a short-circuited stub. The LPF achieved by a hybrid microstrip and four backside slots on the ground plane is equivalent to a typical 9-pole stepped-impedance LPF. Combining these two structures, a new UWB bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed bandpass filter has a wide bandwidth from 3.1 to 11 GHz, and insertion loss is less than 1.2 dB over the most central passband. It also achieves a wide stop band with 20 dB attenuation up to 20 GHz.     

Design of low-pass filter with 3-interations Koch fractal Pi-shaped DGS

A novel asymmetrical Pi-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) with 3-interations Koch fractal curves is proposed to design a microstrip low-pass filter (LPF) with ultra-wide stop-band (SB). The proposed LPFs with a single resonator and two cascaded resonators are both designed, simulated, manufactured and measured. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the designed LPF has a very sharp transition band (TB) and an ultra-wide SB performance compared with the existed similar symmetrical and asymmetrical DGS. The proposed LPF with two cascaded resonators is with a compact size of 36.8 mm×24.0 mm, a very low insertion loss of less than 0.7 dB under 1.9 GHz, and a wide SB from 2.2 GHz to 8 GHz with rejection of larger than 30 dB.     

Compact microstrip lowpass filter with very sharp roll-off using meandered line resonators

In this paper, a new compact size microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with a very sharp roll-off is presented to apply in the modern wireless networks. The proposed LPF is designed using the series main resonators with meandered lines based on inductor-capacitor (LC) equivalent circuit analysis. The main goal is to achieve maximum-sharp roll-off by maintaining a wide stopband bandwidth and high return loss (RL). The main resonator of the proposed filter is consisted of two meandered line hairpin resonators (MLHR), and a meandered line T-shaped resonator (MLTR). The designed suppressor is composed of two coupled radial stubs to create a wide stopband. Low return loss in the passband, which has been created by the main resonator, is resolved by the suppressor structure with high return loss. The measured results show a ??3 dB cut-off frequency of 1.93 GHz. The very sharp transition band starts at 1.93 to 1.97 GHz (from ??3 to ??20 dB). The stopband is from 1.97 to 19.9 GHz (with the suppression level of ??20 dB). Also, the total size of the proposed LPF is only 13.3?×?10.1 mm².

     

Hilbert-shaped complementary single split ring resonator and low-pass filter with ultra-wide stopband, excellent selectivity and low insertion-loss

A novel Hilbert-shaped complementary single split ring resonator (H-CSSRR) with an alterative split gap was initially presented and studied. Transmission characteristics of several CSSRR cells were assessed by full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation and analyzed by electrical simulation (equivalent circuit model). Miniaturization mechanism as well as effective EM parameters retrieval is also involved. Comparing to conventional CSSRR, proposed H-CSSRR was demonstrated with a merit of lower primary transmission zero realized by negative effective permittivity and multi-resonance behavior attributing to self-similarity of Hilbert geometry. For application, a tunable assembled low-pass filter (LPF) by periodically loading H-CSSRR cells and open stubs is designed, fabricated and measured. Measurement results indicate that the designed LPF has many good performances such as relative low insertion loss (maximum 0.59 dB) in passband, ultra-wide stop-band characterized by 20 dB insertion loss (from 2.45 to 25 GHz) as well as steep rejection with sharp transition band (2.15–2.45 GHz) out of band. Excellent property and consistent numerical and experimental results of the developed LPF have confirmed the effectiveness of this design concept.

Small Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter With Notched Band

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with notched band has been proposed and implemented in this letter. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures (DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Combining these two structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF. Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network (WLAN) radio signals. An experimental UWB filter with notched band was fabricated with 35% less length as compared to an embedded open-circuited stub. The measured BPF insertion loss is less than 1.0 dB throughout the pass band of 2.8 to 10.8 GHz, the variation of group delay less than 0.20 ns in this band except for the notched band, and a wide stopband bandwidth with 20 dB attenuation up to at least 20.0 GHz.
