Design of a compact microstrip tunable dual-band bandpass filter

A novel microstrip tunable dual-band bandpass filter with high attenuation level in the upper stopband region is presented. The proposed structure comprises of T-shaped resonators and the coupled microstrip feeding lines. To reach a compact size, the feeding lines are bended. By altering the physical lengths, the characteristics of BPF can easily tune. So, the operational frequencies of the filter can be adjusted and has been fixed to 2.1 GHz and 2.63 GHz, which are applicative for 3G and 4G systems. The insertion-losses of the first and second pass-bands are only 0.68 dB and 1.08 dB, respectively. The undesired harmonics in the upper stopband, with an excellent attenuation level of −38 dB, are rejected up to 6.65 GHz. The results exhibit high return loss of 19.3 dB and 30.7 dB in the first and second pass-bands. The proposed circuit has been fabricated and tested that the obtained results are well close to the simulations results. The total size of the designed circuit is only 16.4 × 13.4 mm².

The pin diodes are loaded at the zero-voltage points of odd and even modes along the microstrip resonators, such that the two passbands operating at odd and even modes can be individually switched on or off. The isolations for the two passbands are greater than 20 dB.     

Design of dual-band bandpass coplanar waveguide filter

Several recent applications in communications require filters that can operate in two or more frequency bands. The aim of this article is to exploit the advantages of coplanar waveguides (CPWs) to design a dual-band bandpass coplanar waveguide filter (DBBPF). Starting from the prototype of a two pole Chebyshev low pass filter, two frequency transformations are applied to generate the DBBPF's lumped equivalent circuit. These circuits are then implemented using compact CPW series-connected resonators patterned in the centre conductor. The designed filter operates at the two frequency bands centred at 1.7 GHz and 2.7 GHz. Measured results are obtained and compared to HFSS-simulated results with very good agreement.

Design of a dual-band bandpass filter with low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology

A novel dual-band bandpass filter with low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology is proposed in this paper. By adopting the structure of an asymmetrical short-circuit coupled line, two open-stub lines, and two reactances, the transmission zeros, which increase the degree of isolation between the passbands, will easily appear at the higher side of two passband's skirts. The analysis of theorem and the procedure of design are described. The measurements of fabricated units match well with the electromagnetic simulation results, which is an evidence of the feasibility of the proposed filter configuration.     

Microstrip dual-band bandpass filter with independently tunable passbands using varactor-tuned stub loaded resonators

In this paper, a dualband bandpass filter with independently tunable passband is proposed. Two half-wavelength resonators with shunt stub have been placed side by side, fed with a common input-output microstrip line to achieve the individual tunability without affecting other passband. For tuning resonance frequency, varactor diodes are used at the ends of the half wavelength resonators and also at the end of the shunt stubs. Proper shunt stub length and width are derived numerically in such a way that only one control voltage is required in each passband. Measured results show that lower passband can be tuned in a frequency range from 1.78 to 1.96 GHz, whereas the upper passband varies from 2.27 to 2.39 GHz individually. H shaped DGS is integrated below the input-output feed lines to suppress higher order harmonics up to 21 GHz with more than 19 dB attenuation.

Large-area varactor diode for electrically tunable, high-power UHF bandpass filter

An electronically tunable, high-power, UHF (225-400-MHz) bandpass filter which utilizes large-area, high-capacitance varactor diodes has been designed and tested. The varactor diodes with 100-V breakdown potential, uniform impurity density in the active layer and 400-pF capacitance at -8-V bias are used as the tuning elements of the filter. The diodes are fabricated from epitaxial layers grown on high-conductivity silicon substrates. The epitaxial layers include an n⁺transition layer between the substrate and n-type active layer to minimize the growth defects in the n layer which reduce the breakdown potential to a fraction of the theoretical value. Measurements in a test cavity at 151 MHz indicate a diode Q of 190 at -8-V bias. Input power levels of 1-5 W can be accommodated across the tuning range. Insertion loss varies from 4 to 7 dB and intermodulation products are suppressed 30 dB or more for two input tones of 1 W each. This filter exhibits an order-of-magnitude improvement in power-handling capability over present state-of-the-art filters.
