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.

Compact Wide Stopband Ultra Wideband Bandpass Filter Using Multilayer Liquid Crystal Polymer Technology

Novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters (BPFs) are proposed based on broadside coupled capacitive-loaded transmission line resonators (C-L TLR) in this letter. By utilizing the wideband harmonic suppression behavior of C-L TLR, the proposed UWB BPFs were designed with wide stopband and implemented using multilayer organic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) technology. As demonstrations, a vialess five-pole BPF was designed first, and then by adopting shunt short-circuited microstrip stubs at input/output ports, a compact UWB BPF was designed to meet FCC-defined UWB indoor mask. The proposed UWB BPFs were fabricated using multilayer LCP technology. Good agreements between simulated and measured results of fabricated filters were observed. The measured results show that the fabricated BPFs have good selectivity, wide stopband and high rejection level. The fabricated UWB BPFs have compact sizes of 15.15 mm by 4.7 mm (about $0.55lambda_{rm g0}$ by $0.17lambda_{rm g0}$); and 9.6 mm by 9.2 mm (about $0.35lambda_{rm g0}$ by $0.33lambda_{rm g0}$), respectively, where $lambda_{rm g0}$ is the guided wavelength of $50~Omega$ microstrip line at 6.85 GHz. They are attractive for UWB communications and radar systems.

Parallel-Coupled Coplanar-Waveguide Bandpass Filter With Multiple Transmission Zeros

A compact parallel-coupled coplanar-waveguide bandpass filter with good selectivity and stopband response is proposed. By using the quarter-wavelength resonators in implementation, the filter size can be reduced and no spurious passband is observed at twice the center frequency (2f₀). In addition, by suitably introducing the capacitive and inductive cross-coupling effects, four transmission zeros around the passband edges may be created for improving the filter selectivity. For design purpose, the equivalent-circuit models are also established. In this study, the compact fourth-order filter with multiple transmission zeros for improving the selectivity is implemented, and its stopband is extended up to 3.43f₀ with a rejection better than -30dB     

Coplanar Waveguide Bandpass Filters With Compact Size and Wide Spurious-Free Stopband Using Electromagnetic Bandgap Resonators

This work presents a novel coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF) that uses electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) resonators to reduce the size and suppress the harmonic responses. The propagation characteristic of the EBG structure is investigated by its associated equivalent circuit model. Compared with the conventional half-wavelength resonator at 5GHz, the EBG resonator is 60.5 % more compact. Based on the EBG CPW resonators, the inductively-coupled two-pole BPF with 3.8% 3-dB bandwidth and 2-dB insertion loss at 5GHz is implemented. This structure generates a 59.6% reduction in size and suppresses a second harmonic passband when compared with a conventional filter. To eliminate the third harmonic response, the proposed EBG CPW BPF further incorporates two EBG structures into its input and output ports and has the merit of a small circuit area

Compact Ultra-Wideband Microstrip/Coplanar Waveguide Bandpass Filter

A novel ultra wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented, using a compact coupled microstrip/coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure. The filter comprises of a single CPW quarter-wavelength resonator which is coupled to two microstrip open-circuited stubs on the other side of a common substrate. The two microstrip open-circuited stubs, which are about a quarter-wavelength long at the center frequency, can function as two resonators with associated coupling arrangement to the CPW. This forms a very compact three-pole filter. The proposed filter also exhibits a quasi-elliptic function response, with one finite-frequency transmission zero closer to each side of the passband. Thus, a high selectivity is achieved using a small number of resonators, which leads to low insertion loss and group delay across the passband. The performance is predicated using EM simulations and verified experimentally. The experimental filter shows a fractional bandwidth of 90% at a center frequency of 6.4GHz, with two observable transmission zeros (attenuation poles) at 1.95 and 10.36GHz, respectively. Furthermore, it has a very small size only amounting to 0.25 by 0.08 guided wavelength at the center frequency     

Acoustooptic Tunable Gap-Type Bandpass Filter With a Broad Stopband

We demonstrate a novel all-fiber gap-type tunable bandpass filter configuration that consists of a broadband hollow optical fiber (HOF) acoustooptic tunable filter (AOTF) concatenated with a narrowband single-mode fiber (SMF)-AOTF. Owing to the unique mode coupling properties of HOF-AOTF and SMF-AOTF, a narrow passband channel of a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ~4 nm could be formed in a broad stopband platform of a 90-nm FWHM successfully. In this scheme, the center wavelength and rejection efficiency of both passband and stopband were found to be flexibly tunable by adjusting the frequency and the voltage of radio-frequency signals applied to individual acoustic transducers.
