Without changing the dimensions of the bandstop filter the tunable bandstop can provide a wide tuning range of 25% from 4.5 to 6 GHz. The high performance bandstop filter is useful for many microwave applications     

Uniplanar compact wideband bandstop filter

A uniplanar wideband bandstop filter is proposed using two bent open-end stubs. The proposed filter consists of the bent connecting line of /spl lambda//sub g//2 between two bent /spl lambda//sub g//4 stubs, which results in wideband design with a rejection bandwidth of 90% at 2.05 GHz. Further, the connecting line and stubs have the same characteristic impedance. The proposed filter compared to the conventional one is also more compact. The area of the novel filter is (/spl lambda//sub g//4)/sup 2/ at the center frequency of the stopband, while the area of the filter realized using the nonbent stubs and connecting line is 2(/spl lambda//sub g//4)/sup 2/ for the same stopband characteristics.     

CPW bandstop filter using slot-type SRRs

The bandstop characteristic of a slot-type split-ring resonator (SRR) on a substrate used for microwave frequencies is presented for a bandstop filter. Analogously to the conventional strip-type SRR, the slot-type SRR is very attractive for notching unwanted band because of its small dimension and high Q operation. In addition, the complementary SRR can be easily applied for coplanar configuration, which is favourable to MMIC designs. Based on the simulation and measurement results, the slot-type SRR for the bandstop filter is very effective in rejecting unwanted frequency in terms of its selectivity and size.     

Compact and wideband microstrip bandstop filter

A novel one-section bandstop filter (BSF), which possesses the characteristics of compact size, wide bandwidth, and low insertion loss is proposed and fabricated. This bandstop filter was constructed by using single quarter-wavelength resonator with one section of anti-coupled lines with short circuits at one end. The attenuation-pole characteristics of this type of bandstop filters are investigated through TEM transmission-line model. Design procedures are clearly presented. The 3-dB bandwidth of the first stopband and insertion loss of the first passband of this BSF is from 2.3 GHz to 9.5 GHz and below 0.3 dB, respectively. There is good agreement between the simulated and experimental results.

The overall structures, including the MEMS switches, have been manufactured using dielectric membrane in order to minimise the dielectric losses. Experimental validations are reported and validate the proposed topology: the bandstop frequency is shifted by approximately 3.5 GHz in V-band when the switches are actuated     

Compact dual-band bandstop filter using folded resonator

A compact dual-band bandstop filter composed of main transmission line and four folded resonators is presented. Through analyzing the structure of folded resonator, it is found that the main transmission line connected with two proposed folded resonators exhibits the characteristic of band-rejection. Simulated results show that the center frequency of stopband is 2.72 GHz. Then, through adding another pair of folded resonator; a compact dual-band bandstop filter is achieved. Simulated results demonstrate that transmission poles are induced to have better selectivity. Additionally, in order to explain the mechanism of proposed structure, the LC equivalent circuit, analysis of parametric effect and surface current distributions are given. Due to the folded structure, the filter dimensions are reduced and the adjustable stopband is another feature. By virtue of optimization, proposed structure is fabricated. Measured results agree well with the simulation.

In this article, by replacing the series quarter-wavelength connecting line of conventional open-stub bandstop filter (BSF) with the equivalent P-shaped line, a compact dual-band BSF is proposed and designed. Furthermore, it suppresses a lot of spurious passbands of the open-stub BSF. Design equations of P-shaped line are achieved by ABCD matrixes. To validate the design concept, two full-wave electromagnetic simulators are used and the proposed filter is fabricated. The simulate results are in excellent agreement with measurement results. The circuit area of the dual-band BSF is only 50% of the conventional open-stub BSF.

Wideband and compact bandstop filter structure using double-plane superposition

A novel bandstop filter (BSF) structure is proposed and measured for wideband and compact circuit applications. The proposed BSF realizes the wide stopband (2-octave) characteristics by superposing two different photonic bandgap (PBG) structures into a coupled double-plane configuration. Only three cells of the proposed structure are enough for the measured 10 dB stopband from 4.3 to 16.2 GHz. We expect this novel BSF structure is widely used for compact and wideband circuit applications, such as compact high-efficiency power amplifiers using harmonic tuning techniques.
