A Waveguide Band-Stop Filter as an Image Rejection Filter for Measurement of Stratospheric Ozone

In this report we present the performance and test observation results of a waveguide band-stop filter (BSF) as an image rejection filter for the measurement of stratospheric ozone. By using the waveguide BSF, we are able to adopt a very simple optical system and achieve a good image rejection ratio. Additionally, we are able to observe in both single sideband (SSB) mode and double sideband (DSB) mode by only changing the local oscillator (LO) frequency. We have installed the waveguide BSF into an atmospheric ozone-measuring system using a superconductive (SIS) receiver and have successfully observed an ozone spectrum at 110 GHz in SSB and DSB mode. The receiver noise temperature (SSB) and the image rejection ratio at 110 GHz are about 60 K and more than 30 dB, respectively. Because of the IF power ripple, the waveguide BSF cannot be used with a wide-band spectrometer. However, it is quite practical for narrow-band observation.

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. By designing the resonator with high inductance and capacitance, a very sharp transition band is achieved. 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.

Transmission characteristics of metallodielectric photonic crystalsand resonators

K_u band Fabry-Perot type resonances have been observed in the stop band of a metallodielectric photonic crystal by transmission measurements at microwave frequencies. The metallodielectric photonic crystal has a face centered cubic Bravais lattice structure with a lattice constant of 15 mm. Metallic spheres with 6.35 mm diameter are placed at the lattice sites. The metallodielectric photonic crystal displayed a directional bandgap with a lower band edge of 13.0 GHz, an upper band edge of 21.5 GHz and a center frequency of 17.25 GHz, corresponding to a stop bandwidth center frequency ratio of 50%. The maximum rejection at the band center is 35 dB, corresponding to a 7 dB per unit cell rejection ratio.

Dual-band-stop filters with unsymmetrical T-shape DGS resonators

A kind of dual-band-stop filter with an unsymmetrical T-shape defected ground structure （DGS） is proposed. The filter has two band gap centers at 4.9 GHz and 7.35 GHz, respectively, where the two centre frequencies are just the second and third harmonics 2.45 GHz. The filters with high band-stop performance and wideband spurious suppression can be achieved by cascading miniaturized unsymmetrical T-shape DGS. The attenuation of three-cascaded T-shape DGS filter is 30.77 dB at 4.9 GHz and 17.96 dB at 7.35 GHz respectively. The above experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results, especially for the third harmonic.

Waveguide Bandpass Filters for Millimeter-Wave Radiometers

A fundamental requirement for most mm-wave heterodyne receivers is the rejection of the input image signal which is located close to the local oscillator frequency. For this purpose we use a bandpass filter, which for heterodyne receivers is also called an image rejection filter. In this paper we present a systematic approach to the design of a waveguide bandpass filter with a passband from 100 to 110 GHz and upper rejection bandwidth in the range from 113 to 145 GHz. We consider two non-tunable filter configurations: the first one is relatively selective with 11 sections (poles) whereas the second one is simpler with 5 sections. We used established design equations to propose an initial guess for the geometries of the filters, optimized the geometries, constructed the filters using two different milling methods, measured their transmission and reflection characteristics, and compared the measurements with numerical simulations. Measurements of both filters agree well with simulations in frequency response and rejection bandwidth. The insertion loss of the 11-pole filter is better than 10 dB and that of the 5-pole filter is better than 5 dB. The 11-pole filter has a sharper attenuation roll-off compared with the 5-pole filter. The upper out-of-band rejection is better than 40 dB up to 145 GHz for the 11-pole filter and up to 155 GHz for the 5-pole filter.

Parallel coupled-line bandpass filter with branch-line shape for g-band frequency

A parallel coupled-line planar bandpass filter (BPF) with branch-line shape using coplanar waveguide technology on GaAs substrate is presented. The unit parallel coupled-line BPF utilises a parallel coupled-line resonator with an open-ended stub which has suppression response of spurious band. Four unit parallel coupled-line BPFs are integrated with branch-line shape and open-circuit stubs on input and output ports are also integrated for improvement of rejection performance. The proposed fourth-order filter was fabricated on GaAs substrate with dielectric thickness of 50 m and gold thickness of 1.2 mum. The fabricated fourth-order BPF shows a 3 dB bandwidth from 177 to 209 GHz frequency range with insertion loss of 6.5 dB, rejection of 38 dB and return loss better than 12 dB. It has a high resolution fractional bandwidth of 17%.

宽阻带平面低通滤波器的设计

低通滤波器是通信系统中关键的器件之一,常作为选频器件用来抑制干扰信号和谐波信号,因此低通滤波器阻带带宽成为关键指标.常见的平面低通滤波器采用短截线(分支线)或高低阻抗线结构,这些结构的低通滤波器阻带不够宽,一般在截止频率的2倍频或3倍频处出现寄生通带.本文使用等效的T形节替代低通滤波器中的串联传输线的方式实现了带阻滤波器嵌入到低通滤波器内部,既对低通滤波器的阻带上任意频段出现的寄生通带进行了抑制,又不影响低通滤波器的通带内性能,并给出等效T形节的综合设计公式.此结构综合设计方法严谨简单、易于平面电路实现,制作出来改进的低通滤波器对3倍频寄生通带进行抑制,扩宽了阻带带宽到4个倍频程以上,测试结果:通带带宽0~3GHz,通带插入损耗小于0.5dB,带外抑制3.6~12GHz大于60dB.     

A compact planar ultra-wideband bandpass filter with multiple resonant and defected ground structure

A compact bandpass filter with dumbbell shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) operating on ultra wide pass band (UWB – 3.1 to 10.6 GHz) is proposed. It is based on hybrid microstrip coplanar waveguide (dual sided metal) structure. A Multiple Resonant Structure (MRS) is constructed using coplanar waveguide (CPW) planar transmission line. The MRS makes the resonance using quarter wavelength and half wavelength open-ended CPW. The equispaced three resonances at lower (3.1 GHz), center (6.85 GHz) and higher edge (10.6 GHz) of the whole Ultra Wide Band is achieved using CPW MRS. To make the band as flat as possible, two more resonances are introduced using quarter wavelength microstrip patches on top of the commonly shared substrate, so the proposed filter becomes a five pole bandpass filter. A dumbbell shaped defected ground structure on either side of CPW MRS improves the return loss almost less than 20 dB over the whole UWB passband. The simulated results of proposed filter show good transmission response within passband and good rejection in out of the band. The simulated and measured results are very close to each other which proves the efficacy of proposed design.

345 GHz Band-Pass Filter Using Ultra-Precision Machining Technology

This paper presents a terahertz (THz) band-pass filter using ultra-precision machining technology based on Chebyshev filter prototype. This iris inductive window coupled waveguide filter was designed by using 8 resonant cavities with a center frequency of 345 GHz and a 7% bandwidth. The final design fulfills the desired specifications and presents the minimum insertion loss of 1.55 dB and the return loss of less than 15 dB at 345 GHz. The stop-band rejection is 50 dB off the center frequency about 30 GHz, which means it has a good performance of high stop-band suppression. Compared with the recent development of THz filters, this filter possesses the characteristic of simple structure and is easy to machining.
