Compact wide stopband lowpass filter using spiral loaded tapered compact microstrip resonator cell

A new spiral loaded tapered compact microstrip resonator cell (SPLT-CMRC) is presented. The addition of spiral stubs to the CMRC creates transmission zeroes in the stopband which extended the stopband of the ?lter. The proposed resonator is used to design a compact lowpass ?lter (LPF) with wide and high rejection in stopband. The fabricated ?lter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency at 8 GHz. The insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.2 dB from DC to 7.2 GHz. The proposed ?lter has wide stopband from 9.47 to 40 GHz with attenuation level of ?20 dB. The demonstrated filter is designed and fabricated. There is a good agreement between the measured and simulated S-parameters.     

Compact microstrip lowpass filter with wide stopband and sharp roll-off using tapered resonator

In this article, a novel microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with specifications such as sharp cut-off, wide stopband, low insertion loss and high return loss using tapered resonator is presented. The LPF has cut-off frequency of 1.11 GHz, where unwanted harmonics are suppressed by novel tapered cells. The bandwidth is enhanced, and the size is reduced as compared to the conventional tapered filter. The transition band is approximately 0.29 GHz from 1.11 to 1.4 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of –3 and –20 dB, respectively. The stopband with greater than –20 dB rejection is from 1.4 to 8.9 GHz, insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.1 dB, return loss is less than –18 dB and the overall size of the filter is 0.12 × 0.073 λ_g. The proposed filter is fabricated and measured. The simulation and measurement results are in good agreement. This LPF is designed for microwave communication applications, especially wireless video transmitters.     

Compact microstrip lowpass filter with very sharp roll-off using meandered line resonators

In this paper, a new compact size microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with a very sharp roll-off is presented to apply in the modern wireless networks. The proposed LPF is designed using the series main resonators with meandered lines based on inductor-capacitor (LC) equivalent circuit analysis. The main goal is to achieve maximum-sharp roll-off by maintaining a wide stopband bandwidth and high return loss (RL). The main resonator of the proposed filter is consisted of two meandered line hairpin resonators (MLHR), and a meandered line T-shaped resonator (MLTR). The designed suppressor is composed of two coupled radial stubs to create a wide stopband. Low return loss in the passband, which has been created by the main resonator, is resolved by the suppressor structure with high return loss. The measured results show a ??3 dB cut-off frequency of 1.93 GHz. The very sharp transition band starts at 1.93 to 1.97 GHz (from ??3 to ??20 dB). The stopband is from 1.97 to 19.9 GHz (with the suppression level of ??20 dB). Also, the total size of the proposed LPF is only 13.3?×?10.1 mm².

In this article, a compact microstrip low-pass filter with elliptic-function response is proposed. To achieve wide stopband, modified semi-circle patch resonator in series with semi-circle stepped impedance resonator is used. The proposed structure achieves a wide stopband and a high selectivity within a small circuit area. The proposed filter has 3-dB cutoff frequency at 1.71?GHz and 20?dB rejection at 2.1?GHz. The stopband with the attenuation level better than ?18.7?dB is from 2.08 up to 16?GHz, and consequently we have reached the high and wide rejection in stopband as well as compact size. The structure is simulated, fabricated and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results.     

Microstrip Lowpass Filter with Very SharpTransition Band Using T‐Shaped,Patch, and Stepped Impedance Resonators

A compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with an elliptic function response is proposed. A high equivalent capacitance and inductance between the structures of the resonator result in the sharp transition band of 0.04 GHz from 4 GHz to 4.04 GHz with an attenuation level of ?3 dB and ?20 dB, respectively. To improve the LPF rejection band, multiple open stubs are connected to the proposed resonator. A filter with a 3‐dB cut‐off frequency at 4 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured, and agreement between the measured and simulated results is achieved. The results show that a stopband bandwidth of 131% with a suppression level better than ?20 dB is obtained while achieving a compact size with a wide stopband.

Dual mode wideband band-pass filter with notched band for communication system

This paper presents a planar microstrip wideband dual mode Band-Pass Filter (BPF) from 2 GHz to 3.4 GHz with a notched band at 2.62 GHz. The dual mode band-pass filter consists of a ring resonator with two quarter-wavelength open-circuited stubs at ?? =90° and ?? =0°, respectively. A square perturbation stub has been put at the corner of the ring resonator to increase the narrow stopbands and improve the performance of selectivity. By using a parallel-coupled feed line, a narrow notched band is introduced at the required frequency and its Fractional BandWidth (FBW) is about 5%. The proposed filter has a narrow notched band and a wide pass-band with a sharp cutoff frequency characteristic, the attenuation rate for the sharp cutoff frequency responses is 297.17 dB/GHz (calculated from 1.959 GHz with ?34.43 dB to 2.065 GHz with ?2.93 dB) and 228.10 dB/GHz (calculated from 3.395 GHz with ?2.873 dB to 3.507 GHz with ?28.42 dB). This filter has the advantages of good insertion loss in both operating bands and two rejections of greater than 16 dB in the range of 1.59 GHz to 1.99 GHz and 3.49 GHz to 3.98 GHz. Having been presented in this article, the measurement results agree well with the simulation results, which validates our idea.
