Wide-stopband microstrip bandpass filters using dissimilar quarter-wavelength stepped-impedance resonators

Wide-stopband and compact microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) are proposed using various dissimilar quarter-wavelength (/spl lambda//4) stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) for multiple spurious suppression. The use of /spl lambda//4 SIRs is essential in widening the filter stopband and reducing the circuit size. By properly arranging the individual /spl lambda//4 SIR, which has the same fundamental resonance frequency f/sub 0/, but has different spurious (harmonic) resonance frequencies, and also carefully misaligning the maximum current density nodes, several higher order spurious resonances may be suppressed so that a BPF with wide stopband may be realized. In this study, the basic concept of multiple spurious suppression is demonstrated by thoroughly investigating the spurious characteristics of the fourth-order interdigital BPFs, which consist of two different types of /spl lambda//4 SIRs. To widen the rejection bandwidth, the fourth-order coupled-resonator BPFs based on three and four different types of /spl lambda//4 SIRs are implemented and carefully examined. Specifically, a very wide-stopband microstrip BPF composed of four dissimilar /spl lambda//4 SIRs is realized and its stopband is extended even up to 11.4f/sub 0/ with a rejection level better than 27.5 dB.     

Wide-Stopband Microstrip Bandpass Filters Using Quarter-Wavelength Stepped-Impedance Resonators and Bandstop Embedded Resonators

Novel compact microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) with extended stopband are proposed using both quarter-wavelength (lambda/4) stepped-impedance resonators and bandstop embedded resonators. First, by properly designing the impedance and length ratios of the stepped-impedance resonators, the developed filter may be made compact and its spurious harmonics may be pushed to the higher frequency region. Next, by suitably designing the bandstop structure so as to suppress the lower spurious harmonics of stepped-impedance resonators and then embedding the bandstop structure into the lambda/4 resonators, one may realize the BPFs with wideband spurious suppression. In particular, by connecting the bandstop embedded resonators to the input/output ports, a compact fourth-order BPF of dimension 0.089 lambdag times 0.27 lambdag is implemented and its stopband is extended up to 8.25 f ₀ with an adequate rejection of greater than 32.49 dB, where f ₀ is the passband center frequency and lambdag is the microstrip guided wavelength at f ₀.     

Wide Stopband Parallel-Coupled Stacked SIRs Bandpass Filters With Open-Stub Lines

In this letter, spurious passband suppression in parallel-coupled stacked stepped-impedance-resonators (SIRs) bandpass filters (BPFs) by means of open-stub lines is proposed and implemented. These filters are composed of parallel-coupled stacked SIRs and open stubs. Moreover, the structure with tapped feeding is employed to create transmission zeros near both sides of the passband skirt. The proposed structure can improve the harmonic suppression so that a wide upper stopband with a satisfactory attenuation level would appear in this BPF. Measured results of the fabricated circuits show that the idea works very well     

Microstrip dual-band bandstop filter of defected ground structure and stepped impedance resonators

This article presents a compact microstrip dual-band bandstop filter (BSF), in which one λ_g/4 defected ground structure (DGS) pair is utilised to realise one stopband while two stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) help obtain another stopband and suppress the spurious harmonics. The design strategies and the equivalent circuits are introduced in detail. The measured results indicate 43.8% and 18.7% fractional bandwidth in the two stopbands (2.4 GHZ and 5.2 GHz) respectively, and the return loss is greater than 15 dB in the whole passband. In addition, size reduction can be conveniently achieved by adjusting the length of the SIRs and DGS.     

A Compact Dual-Band Bandpass Filter Using Meandering Stepped Impedance Resonators

This letter presents a miniaturized dual-band narrow bandpass filter (BPF) using meandering stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) with a new coupling scheme, which exhibited a size reduction of 50% compared with the traditional direct coupling structure at the same frequency, while the new structure can generate three transmission zeros in the insertion loss response. To validate the design and analysis, two dual-band BPFs centered at 2.4-GHz/5.2-GHz and 2.4-GHz/5.7-GHz for WLAN application were fabricated and measured. It is shown that the measured and simulated performances are in good agreement. The BPFs achieved insertion loss of less than 2 dB and return loss of greater than 16-dB in each band.     

High-selectivity single-ended and balanced bandpass filters using ring resonators and coupled lines loaded with multiple stubs

High-selectivity single-ended and balanced bandpass filters (BPFs) using dual-mode ring resonators and coupled lines loaded with multiple stubs are proposed in this paper. With the help of the loaded short-circuited and open-circuited stubs, six deep transmission zeros (TZs) from 0 to 2f₀ (f₀: center frequency of the passband) can be realized in both of single-ended and balanced BPFs to improve the stopband suppressions. The functions of the loaded short/open stubs and calculated analysis of TZs’ positions have been presented. For further demonstration, two examples of single-ended BPF and balanced BPF with high common-mode suppression are designed and fabricated, whose center frequencies are both at 2.1 GHz. Their measured 3-dB fractional bandwidths are 23.7% and 24.7% (differential-mode), respectively. The simulated results and measurements of these two filters are in good agreement.     

Design of new quadruplexer with compact size,high isolation and wide stopband

This study presents a quadruplexer (1.8/2.4/3.5/5.8 GHz) with compact size, high isolation, low insertion loss and wide stopband based on the multi-mode resonators. The quadruplexer is composed of four pairs of coupled multi-mode resonators (uniform impedance resonator, UIR and stepped impedance resonators, SIRs) and the source–load coupling lines. Each channel (passband) can be easily determined by tuning the impedance ratio (K) and length ratio (α) of the SIRs so as to implement a 2-order bandpass filter individually. The source–load coupling lines are designed to correspond to the quarter-wavelength of the center frequency at each channel. The proposed quadruplexer shows a simple configuration, an effective design method and a small circuit size.

Ultra Wideband Bandpass Filter Using Embedded Stepped Impedance Resonators on Multilayer Liquid Crystal Polymer Substrate

This letter proposes an ultra wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) based on embedded stepped impedance resonators (SIRs). In this study, broad side coupled patches and high impedance microstrip lines are adopted as quasi-lumped elements for realizing the coupling between adjacent SIRs, which are used to suppress stopband harmonic response. An eight-pole UWB BPF is developed from lump-element bandpass prototype and verified by full-wave simulation. The proposed filter is fabricated using multilayer liquid crystal polymer (LCP) process and measured using vector network analyzer. Good agreement between simulated and measured response is observed. The measurement results show that the fabricated filter has a low insertion loss of 0.18 dB at center frequency 6.05 GHz, an ultra wide fractional bandwidth of 127.3% and excellent stopband rejection level higher than 32.01 dB from 10.9 to 18.0 GHz.      

Synthesis of an in-line prototype filter with two transmission zeros without cross couplings

This letter describes a method for synthesizing a general in-line prototype filter presenting one or two transmission zeros without using cross couplings; the basic topology is constituted by resonators coupled through inverters, with input and/or output taken at the second and/or last but one resonators. In this case, the first and last resonators, tuned at frequencies in the stopband, produce two zeros in the transfer function. It is shown that, even if it is not possible to exactly synthesize this structure with extracted poles techniques, an approximated design procedure can be derived; the procedure is based on the synthesis of a low pass prototype with multiple couplings starting from source and/or load, followed by suitable network transformations. This design technique can be easily implemented in case of classical combline or interdigital filters.
