Small Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter With Notched Band

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with notched band has been proposed and implemented in this letter. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures (DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Combining these two structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF. Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network (WLAN) radio signals. An experimental UWB filter with notched band was fabricated with 35% less length as compared to an embedded open-circuited stub. The measured BPF insertion loss is less than 1.0 dB throughout the pass band of 2.8 to 10.8 GHz, the variation of group delay less than 0.20 ns in this band except for the notched band, and a wide stopband bandwidth with 20 dB attenuation up to at least 20.0 GHz.

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.

A wideband stepped-impedance rectangular-ring resonator bandpass filter with multiple notched bands

A configuration of wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with multiple notched bands is presented. Proposed BPF is based on stepped-impedance resonator. By utilising dual stepped-impedance resonators in folded topology a rectangular-ring resonator is formed. Two notched bands in the passband are achieved without using asymmetrical coupled lines. In other words, the filter configuration is capable of producing notched bands. It should be noted that additional information on filter performance and design is presented. Measurement results are presented to approve propounded filter characteristics. The measured passband of the second proposed filter is from 3.68 to 10.2 GHz with insertion loss of –1.76 dB in the first passband at the centre frequency of 4.45 GHz. The measured notched band frequencies are about 5.45 and 7.95 GHz with rejection of –21.77 and –20.82 dB, respectively. The return loss in the passband is better than –11.4 dB.     

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filter using broadside coupled hairpin structures on multilayer liquid crystal polymer substrate

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) using a broadside- coupled hairpin structure and multilayer organic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) technology is presented. To suppress stopband harmonic response, folded stepped impedance structures were adopted as hairpin resonators in the design. The proposed filter has been investigated numerically and experimentally. Multilayer LCP technology was used to implement designed UWB BPF. Good agreement between simulated and measured results of the proposed filter was observed. They show that the fabricated UWB BPF has a good performance, including a small insertion loss, a flat group delay with a variation within 0.1 ns in most of its passband, a wide stopband from 11.0 20.0 GHz with a high rejection level up to 20.0 dB, and a very compact size of 9.8 x 7.5 mm (0.36 lg x 0.27lg, where lg is the guided wavelength of 50 V microstrip line at 6.85 GHz).     

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.     

Planar microstrip UWB bandpass filter using U-shaped slot coupling structure

A compact planar microstrip UWB bandpass filter is proposed. It is realised by cascading a lowpass filter and a highpass filter. A transmission line with U-shaped slots coupled with two DGS units on the back of the circuit board has the characteristic of highpass, while a periodic uniform DGS array has the characteristic of lowpass. Combining these two structures, a new UWB bandpass filter (BPF) is fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed BPF has wide bandwidth from 3.0 to 10.9 GHz, all the measured return loss less than 13 dB in the passband. The BPF achieves a wide stopband with 18 dB attenuation up to 18.0 GHz     

Analytical design of a microstrip UWB BPF with sharp rejection

This paper presents a new Ultra-WideBand (UWB) BandPass Filter (BPF) using half-wavelength (??/2) Stepped-Impedance Stub-Loaded Resonator (SISLR). Analytical equations derived by the even-odd mode analysis show the new filter has two tunable transmission zeros at both sides of the passband to provide a sharp rejection and seven transmission poles inside the passband to achieve U.S. UWB performance. For verification, a UWB BPF is designed, fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the fabricated filter has a -3 dB fractional bandwidth from 3.0 GHz to 10.9 GHz and its insertion loss less than 0.9 dB over the whole passband. Furthermore, the new filter exhibits a simple topology, sharp rejection, and deep stopband suppression.     

Short-circuited CPW multiple-mode resonator for ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter

An ultra-wideband (UWB: 3.1-10.6 GHz) bandpass filter (BPF) on coplanar waveguide (CPW) is proposed, designed and implemented. A nonuniform CPW multiple-mode resonator with short-circuited ends is constructed and its first three resonant modes are properly allocated around the lower-end, center and higher-end of the specified UWB band. This CPW resonator is then driven at two ends by two parallel-coupled CPW lines with dispersive inductive coupling degree. By properly reallocating the enhanced coupling peak toward the UWB's center, a five-pole CPW BPF with one full-wavelength can be eventually constituted. Its UWB bandpass performance is characterized and optimized on the basis of a simple transmission-line network. Predicted results are confirmed by experiment. Measured results achieve the insertion loss <1.5dB and group delay variation <0.35ns in the realized 3.3 to 10.4GHz UWB passband.
