Miniaturized Dual-Mode Ring Resonator Bandpass Filter With Microstrip-to-CPW Broadside-Coupled Structure

A microstrip-to-coplanar waveguide broadside-coupled section is used to replace a 34-section of the conventional dual-mode 1-ring resonator filter for circuit area miniaturization. It is believed that it is a new idea to incorporate the broadside-coupled section into a ring resonator filter for size reduction. For design purpose, some important characteristics of the broadside-coupled lines are investigated. In experiments, two realized circuits show only 19.4% of the area of a uniform ring. Measured responses show good agreement with simulation.

A Novel Dual-Mode Dual-Band Bandpass Filter Based on a Single Ring Resonator

A dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter with two transmission poles in both passbands using a single ring resonator is proposed. Two excited ports are placed at the 135$^{circ}$ -separated positions along the ring resonator and coupled with the ring via parallel-coupled lines, leading to synchronous excitation of two transmission poles in dual passbands. After the principle of this initial filter is described, an improved ring resonator with periodic loading of open-circuited stubs is constructed and studied to achieve compact size and adjustable spacing between the two passbands. Finally, a dual-band ring resonator filter with center frequencies at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz is designed and fabricated. Measured results verify the design principle.

In this letter, a dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter using stacked-loop structure is proposed, which allows two transmission paths to radio frequency (RF) signals. Each of them using dual-mode resonators results in respective passband. This can provide convenience to easily change one passband frequency, while another keeps almost the same.

Novel Broadband Bandpass Filters Using Y-Shaped Dual-Mode Microstrip Resonators

A Y-shaped dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is presented. The characteristic of the Y-shaped dual-mode resonator has been investigated. The resonance frequencies of the degenerate modes can be adjusted easily to satisfy the bandwidth of the BPF. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeros at the lower and upper stopband, which can improve the out-of-band performance. A broadband dual-mode microstrip BPF has been designed, fabricated, and measured. The simulated and measured results are in agreement generally. Within the 3.1 to 5.4 GHz bandwidth, the measured insertion loss, return loss and group delay variation are below 0.5 dB, above 15 dB, and below 0.2 ns, respectively.

This letter presents the design and implementation of a 60-GHz millimeter-wave RF-integrated-circuit-on-chip bandpass filter using a 0.18-mum standard CMOS process.

The investigations of sensitivity to the insertion loss and the passband bandwidth for different perturbation stub sizes are also studied. The filter has a 3-dB bandwidth of about 12 GHz at the center frequency of 64 GHz. The measured insertion loss of the passband is about 4.9 dB, and the return loss is better than 10 dB within the passband.

Compact Bandpass Ring Resonator Filter With Enhanced Wide-Band Rejection Characteristics Using Defected Ground Structures

This letter addresses a modified bandpass ring resonator filter providing compact size, low insertion-loss, wide bandwidth, sharp rejection, and suppressed higher order modes. It is demonstrated that the use of internal folded stubs translates into an overall size reduction of more than 70% through the exploitation of the internal ring area. The introduction of defected ground structures enhances the rejection of higher order modes beside offering a further advantage in terms of size reduction. It is furthermore shown that electromagnetic simulations, transmission line model, as well as measurement results are in very good agreement.      

Compact UWB Bandpass Filter Using Stub-Loaded Multiple-Mode Resonator

A compact microstrip-line ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) using the proposed stub-loaded multiple-mode resonator (MMR) is presented. This MMR is formed by loading three open-ended stubs in shunt to a simple stepped-impedance resonator in center and two symmetrical locations, respectively. By properly adjusting the lengths of these stubs, the first four resonant modes of this MMR can be evenly allocated within the 3.1-to-10.6 GHz UWB band while the fifth resonant frequency is raised above 15.0GHz. It results in the formulation of a novel UWB BPF with compact-size and widened upper-stopband by incorporating this MMR with two interdigital parallel-coupled feed lines. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing improved UWB bandpass behaviors with the insertion loss lower than 0.8dB, return loss higher than 14.3dB, and maximum group delay variation less than 0.64ns in the realized UWB passband

Piezoelectric Transducer-Controlled Dual-Mode Switchable Bandpass Filter

A piezoelectric transducer-controlled dual-mode switchable bandpass filter is introduced. A piezoelectric transducer is used to lift up or pull down the attached dielectric substrate perturbation. When the dielectric substrate is pulled down, the perturbation excites dual modes and the dual-mode filter is on. The return loss is better than 10 dB and the insertion loss is less than 3 dB from 2.92 to 3 GHz. When the dielectric substrate is lifted up, the dual-mode resonator is unperturbed and the dual-mode filter is off. The isolation is 21 dB at 3 GHz. The on-off ratio is 18 dB     

Neural Model for Left-Handed CPW Bandpass Filter Loaded Split Ring Resonator

Compact left-handed coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter loaded split ring resonator (SRR) is presented in this paper. The proposed filter exhibits a quasi-elliptic function response and its circuit size occupies only 12 × 11.8 mm² (≈0.21 λg × 0.20 λg). Also, a simple circuit model is given and the parametric study of this filter is discussed. Then, with the aid of NeuroModeler software, a five-layer feed-forward perceptron neural networks model is built up to optimize the proposed filter design fast and accurately. Finally, this newly left-handed CPW bandpass filter was fabricated and measured. A good agreement between simulations and measurement verifies the proposed left-handed filter and the validity of design methodology.     

Tri‐band Microstrip Bandpass Filter Using Dual‐Mode Stepped‐Impedance Resonator

This letter presents a compact dual‐mode tri‐band bandpass filter by using a short‐circuited stub‐loaded stepped‐impedance resonator (SIR) and a short‐circuited stub‐loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short‐circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even‐odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri‐band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.     

Millimeter-Wave Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter Employing Dual-Mode Ring Resonators Fed by Step-Impedance Coupled Lines

This paper presents a novel millimeter-wave ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) based on microstrip dual-mode rectangular ring resonators. In order to get strong coupling between the input/output line and the dual-mode ring resonators, a step-impedance parallel-coupled structure is adopted for the design of the filter. On the other hand, transmission zeros are produced by the dual-mode resonator. As a consequence, the filter has low insertion-loss in its passband, sharp attenuation in its lower and upper stopbands and very wide stopbands. As an example, a filter with two dual-mode ring resonators is designed and fabricated. The measured frequency property of the fabricated filter shows good agreement with the simulated response.
