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.

基于分形技术的阶跃阻抗微带低通滤波器设计

Design of Low-Pass Filters Using Defected Ground Structure

A method to design low-pass filters (LPF) having a defected ground structure (DGS) and broadened transmission-line elements is proposed. The previously presented technique for obtaining a three-stage LPF using DGS by Lim is generalized to propose a method that can be applied in design$N$-pole LPFs for$ Nleq5$. As an example, a five-pole LPF having a DGS is designed and measured. Accurate curve-fitting results and the successive design process to determine the required size of the DGS corresponding to the LPF prototype elements are described. The proposed LPF having a DGS, called a DGS-LPF, includes transmission-line elements with very low impedance instead of open stubs in realizing the required shunt capacitance. Therefore, open stubs, tee- or cross-junction elements, and high-impedance line sections are not required for the proposed LPF, while they all have been essential in conventional LPFs. Due to the widely broadened transmission-line elements, the size of the DGS-LPF is compact.     

Ultra-Wideband Bandpass Filter Using Multilayer Liquid-Crystal-Polymer Technology

Novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters are proposed based on quasi-lumped-element prototypes and implemented with multilayer liquid-crystal-polymer (LCP) technology. In this study, the broadside-coupled microstrip radial stubs and high-impedance microstrip lines are adopted as quasi-lumped elements for realizing compact UWB bandpass filters. By introducing a short-circuited high-impedance microstrip line as a shunt inductor and suitably designing quasi-lumped-element capacitors, a compact six-pole bandpass filter is implemented with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defined UWB specifications. To further improve the selectivity and wideband performance, an eight-pole filter of this type is developed by adding two shunt short-circuited microstrip stubs, which introduce a transmission zero at the upper passband edge. The proposed filters are fabricated using multilayer LCP technology. Good agreement between simulated and measured results of these filters are observed. The measured results show that the fabricated six-pole filter has good specifications for the FCC-defined UWB system. The fabricated eight-pole filter has an ultra-wide fractional bandwidth (139%) and a good stopband rejection level, which is higher than 38.1 dB from 10.57 to 18.0 GHz. The proposed filters are attractive for UWB communications and radar systems.      

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.

Dual-frequency electric-magnetic-electric microstrip leaky-mode antenna of a single fan beam

This paper presents a dual-frequency electric-magnetic-electric (EME) microstrip exhibiting two leaky-wave regions of similar radiation characteristics like the microstrip EH/sub 1/ mode. The EME microstrip incorporates a photonic bandgap (PBG) structure, which is a two-dimensional array consisting of unit cell made of coupled coils connected by a via. The PBG structure employed in the EME prototype conducts at dc and shows the first stopband between 8.8-12.4 GHz, thus rendering the so-called magnetic surface. The EME microstrip is essentially made by substituting the PBG cells for the metal strip of a conventional microstrip. The finite-element method (FEM) analyses of the PBG structure show that the first and second modes are TM-like and TEM-like, respectively. The latter is leaky between 12.4-12.9 GHz and is found to be responsible for the second leaky region of the EME microstrip. The dispersion characteristics of the EME microstrip are obtained by two theoretical methods, namely, the matrix-pencil method and the FEM. Both show excellent agreement in the two leaky regions. Furthermore, the measured far-field radiation patterns of the two leaky regions also validate the dispersion curves. The first leaky region is of EH/sub 1/ type and between 5.05-5.45 GHz. The second leaky region radiates a frequency-scanning fan beam between 11.95-13.0 GHz, similar to those of the EH/sub 1/ mode. Detailed modal current analyses show even and odd symmetry along longitudinal and transverse plane of EME microstrip, respectively, further confirming the two leaky regions behave like the well-known EH/sub 1/ leaky mode. The proposed EME microstrip enriches the modal characteristics of the conventional, uniform microstrip and is thus a manifestation of application of PBG structure for new guiding device.     

Elliptic-type bandpass filter and bandstop notch filter inspired by metamaterial NRI-TL topology

Compact and highly selective filters can be implemented by loading a transmission line with series printed capacitors and shunt resonant λ/4 stubs resembling the familiar printed negative-refractive-index transmission- line topology. Simulation and experimental results of a microstrip two-stage bandpass filter and a bandstop notch filter are presented. The four-pole bandpass filter exhibits an elliptic-type response with 3% fractional bandwidth. The microstrip bandstop notch filter exhibits a 50 dB deep stopband and a notch /spl varrho/ of 50. Both filters were designed at an operating frequency of 2.0 GHz.     

A photonic bandgap microstrip filter based on YBCO superconducting film

Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures can stop propagation of electromagnetic waves of certain frequencies and hence can be applied to construction of microstrip filters. In this paper, a novel PBG microstrip filter based on YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ high-temperature superconductor films is presented. The PBG patterns forming the filters were etched on a 0.3- and a 0.7-/spl mu/m-thick film. Experimental results showed that the transmission coefficient S/sub 21/ of the filter is dependent on the thickness of the YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-x/ film. The thinner PBG filter exhibits an effective stopband of a center frequency of 20 GHz, a bandwidth of 4.7 GHz (at -40 dB), an attenuation of -55 dB, and a rolloff rate of 38 dB/GHz, while the thicker structure exhibits narrow notches only in the S/sub 21/ characteristics.

Novel Microstrip Photonic Bandgap Cell Structures

In general, a planar microstrip photonic bandgap (PBG) structure os a periodic array of holes etched in the ground plane of a microstrip line. To use a circuit with a PBG, the PBG structure cannot be fixed on a metal base and needs to be shielded. In this paper, two kinds of novel microstrip PBG unit cells with special patterns etched in the strip line, which can be used as the conventional microstrip circuits, are proposed and analyzed in detail. The results show that the transmission line theory is valid for the theoretic analysis of PBG circuits.
