Compact Bandpass Filters Based on Dual-Plane Microstrip/Coplanar-Waveguide Structure With Quarter-Wavelength Resonators

Compact wideband bandpass filters are proposed based on the dual-metal-plane structure consisting of both microstrip and coplanar-waveguide (CPW) quarter-wavelength resonators. By combining the advantages of dual-plane microstrip/CPW structure and stepped-impedance resonators, strong couplings between resonators may be accomplished so that the fourth-order cross-coupled filter with compact size and wide bandwidth may be realized. To further improve the selectivity, the sixth-order cross-coupled filter composed of four microstrip and two CPW resonators is implemented. Specifically, the implemented filters have the merits of compact size, good insertion/return losses, wide fractional bandwidth, and better selectivity. Good agreement between simulated and measured responses of these filters is demonstrated     

Novel planar, square-shaped, dielectric-waveguide, single-, and dual-mode filters

This paper presents a novel concept of a square-shaped dielectric-waveguide resonator, which can easily realize a dielectric-waveguide cross-coupled filter or a dielectric-waveguide dual-mode filter, using the conventional printed circuit board (PCB) process. This planar dielectric-waveguide resonator has a higher Q value than a microstrip resonator. The physical mechanisms of both single- and dual-mode filters are elucidated. Some new coupling structures are developed for undergoing the PCB process. Filter design procedures are detailed. Design curves for the coupling coefficients of internal- and external-coupling structures are determined by full-wave finite-element-method electromagnetic calculations. Measurement results are highly consistent with theory for all trial filters. This study offers an effective means of producing low-cost high-performance planar circuit filters.

Slow-wave bandpass filters using ring or stepped-impedance hairpinresonators

This paper proposes a new class of slow-wave bandpass filters that uses a microstrip line periodically loaded with microstrip ring or stepped-impedance hairpin resonators. The new slow-wave periodic structures utilize the parallel and series resonance characteristics of the resonators to construct a bandpass filter. Unlike conventional slow-wave filters, the proposed bandpass filters are designed to produce a narrow passband at the fundamental mode of the resonators. The new filters provide lower insertion loss than that of parallel- or cross-coupled ring and stepped-impedance hairpin bandpass filters. The calculated frequency responses of the filters agree well with experiments     

A Method of Synthesizing Microwave Bandpass Filters Constructed With Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Compact Microstrip Resonators

This paper presents a method of synthesizing microwave filters consisting of compact microstrip resonators (CMRs). The synthesizing method is based on the conventional insertion-loss design method and can be applied to the design of filters consisting of symmetrical and asymmetrical CMRs. The synthesizing method can help the designer to determine the appropriate layout according to the specified passband and stopband characteristics of the filter. A new type of CMR layout is proposed to suppress the spurious passband response and is applied to the implementation of a Ku-band filter. The measurement of the prototype shows approximately 1.5-dB insertion loss in the passband and a rejection greater than 40 dB at the specified frequencies. Besides, an asymmetrical CMRs filter operated at Ku-band was also designed and fabricated. The measurement result is also close to the computer simulation result. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design concept     

Compact Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filters Using Composite Microstrip–Coplanar-Waveguide Structure

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filters are proposed based on the composite microstrip–coplanar-waveguide (CPW) structure. In this study, the microstrip–CPW transitions and the CPW shorted stubs are adopted as quasi-lumped-circuit elements for realizing a three-pole high-pass filter prototype. By introducing a cross-coupled capacitance between input and output ports of this high-pass filter and suitably designing the transition stretch stubs, a compact three-pole ultra-wideband bandpass filter is implemented with two transmission zeros located close to the passband edges. To further improve the selectivity, two microstrip shorted stubs are added to implement a five-pole ultra-wideband bandpass filter with good out-of-band response. Being developed from the quasi-lumped elements, and not from the transmission lines, the proposed ultra-wideband filters have sizes more compact than those of the published wideband filters. The proposed ultra-wideband filters have the merits of compact size, flat group delay, good insertion/return loss, and good selectivity. Agreement between simulated and measured responses of these filters is demonstrated.     

Cross-coupled microstrip hairpin-resonator filters

A new class of cross-coupled planar microwave filters using microstrip hairpin resonators is introduced. The realization of bath the canonical and the cascaded quadruplet (CQ) filters is feasible.

A four-pole cross-coupled filter of this type is designed and fabricated. Both the theoretical and experimental performance is presented     

Cross-coupled microstrip band reject filters with non-resonating nodes

A new design of cross-coupled band reject filters in microstrip technology is presented. In the proposed model, the source and the load are not directly coupled. Instead, non-resonating nodes (NRNs) are introduced in the network to generate the required number of attenuation poles and modularize the design. Higher order band reject filters are designed by cascading lower-order building blocks with NRNs inserted between them. A fourth order filter is designed, built and measured. Good agreement between theory and measurement is achieved.     

Compact microstrip resonators for 900 MHz frequency band

A technique to reduce the size of planar resonators is investigated using a transmission line model and a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. New miniaturized square microstrip resonators are proposed for 900 MHz band. The resonators offer low impedance sections leading to a better handling of power. The feasibility of compact filters using the proposed resonators is demonstrated. The input/output coupling lines of a two-pole filter have been positioned in a way that produces a filter response with transmission zeros on the both sides of the pass-band. Sharper skirts and higher out-of-band rejection are obtained for four-pole filters with cross-coupled resonators.
