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.      

Ultra-wideband bandpass filter using hybrid quasi-lumped elements and defected ground structure

A compact planar microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter is presented. The proposed UWB filter is realised by cascading a highpass filter (HPF) and a lowpass filter (LPF). Additional U-slot defected ground structure is adopted to improve the attenuation performance in the stop band. The HPF consists of inter-digital capacitors and a short-circuited stub. The LPF achieved by a hybrid microstrip and four backside slots on the ground plane is equivalent to a typical 9-pole stepped-impedance LPF. Combining these two structures, a new UWB bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed bandpass filter has a wide bandwidth from 3.1 to 11 GHz, and insertion loss is less than 1.2 dB over the most central passband. It also achieves a wide stop band with 20 dB attenuation up to 20 GHz.     

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     

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter With Embedded Band Notch Structures

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with narrow notched (rejection) band in the UWB passband realized on a microstrip line is implemented and presented in this letter for use in wireless communication applications within the unlicensed UWB range set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The filter consists of five short-circuited stubs separated by nonredundant connecting lines in order to exhibit a high selectivity filtering characteristic. The narrow notched (rejection) band was introduced by using a new technique which involves embedding open stubs in the first and last connecting lines in order to reject any undesired existing radio signal which may interfere with the determined UWB passband. The bandwidth of the notched filter can be controlled by adjusting the width of the stubs or the gaps or both. The length of the stubs can be tuned to select a specific frequency for the notched band. The embedded stubs can be used to excite single or double band-reject response. Two UWB BPFs with narrow notched band having a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of about 4.6% and 6.5% were realized theoretically and verified by full-wave EM simulation and the experiment. Excellent agreement between the predicted and measured results was obtained and is demonstrated     

Compact UWB bandpass filter using ring open stub loaded multiple-mode resonator

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with a compact size, improved upper-stopband performance and reduced radiation loss has been studied and designed using a multiple-mode resonator (MMR). The MMR is formed by attaching three pairs of ring open stubs in shunt to a high impedance microstrip line. By simply adjusting the radius of the circles of the ring stubs, the resonant modes of the MMR can be roughly allocated within the 3.1?10.6 GHz UWB band while suppressing the spurious harmonics in the upper-stopband. Meanwhile, the insertion loss is higher than 20.0 dB in the upperstopband from 11.7 to 33.5 GHz in simulation. Finally, the filter is fabricated and measured. The EM-simulated and measured results are presented and excellent agreement between them is obtained.     

A Superconducting Microstrip Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter at VHF-Band

A compact superconducting ultra-wideband filter with a passband from 125 to 260 MHz is demonstrated. The filter consists of ten shunt short-circuited stubs separated by connecting lines. The short-circuited stubs are grounded via a grounding strip that is attached to the box wall by a number of SiAl bonding wires. The filter is realized on two 2 in YBCO/LaAlO₃ substrates, which are connected by two bonding wires. The measured results demonstrate an insertion loss of less than 0.08 dB and a return loss of better than 21 dB without tuning. Furthermore, the experimental results of the filter are in good agreement with the simulated ones.     

A Miniaturized Bandwidth Reconfigurable Bandpass Chip Filter with Semi-lump ed Topology and GaAs pHEMT Technology

A miniaturized reconfigurable bandpass chip filter with semi-lumped topology and Gallium Arsenide pseudomorphic High electron mobility transistor (GaAs pHEMT) technology is proposed. Semi-lumped topology is employed to instead the traditional lumped inductor with microstrip transmission line, which can reduced the size of the tunable filter significantly. Three-order series and shunt resonated bandpass filter is implemented with shorted stubs and metal-insulator-metal capacitors. Two transmission zeros are introduced with the series resonator and the shunted GaAs FET. By tuning the gate bias circuit of the FET, the capacitance of the series resonator is changed and the bandwidth of the filter is adjusted correspondingly. An equivalent circuit model is developed to interpret the mechanism of the proposed filter circuit. A reconfigurable on chip filter sample operated at 10GHz is fabricated to validate the design. Two fractional bandwidth of 14.3％and 23.5％are tuned with bias voltage of the FET, while insertion loss of 2.4dB and 2.2dB are observed with the filter, respectively. The area of the chip filter is 0.86 × 0.96mm2 and is equivalent to an electrical length of 0.08 × 0.09λg2 at center frequency. Measurement results agree well with the simulation ones.

Compact UWB Bandpass Filter With Improved Upper-Stopband Performance

In this letter, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with compact size and improved upper-stopband performance has been studied and implemented using multiple-mode resonator (MMR). The MMR is formed by attaching three pairs of circular impedance-stepped stubs in shunt to a high impedance microstrip line. By simply adjusting the radius of the circles of the stubs, the resonant modes of the MMR can be roughly allocated within the 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band while suppressing the spurious harmonics in the upper-stopband. In order to enhance the coupling degree, two interdigital coupled-lines are used in the input and output sides. Thus, a predicted UWB passband is realized. Meanwhile, the insertion loss is higher than 30.0 dB in the upper-stopband from 12.1 to 27.8 GHz. Finally, the filter is successfully designed and fabricated. The EM-simulated and the measured results are presented in this work where excellent agreement between them is obtained.     

Compact UWB Bandpass Filter Using Stub-Loaded Multiple-Mode Resonator

A compact microstrip-line ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) using the proposed stub-loaded multiple-mode resonator (MMR) is presented. This MMR is formed by loading three open-ended stubs in shunt to a simple stepped-impedance resonator in center and two symmetrical locations, respectively. By properly adjusting the lengths of these stubs, the first four resonant modes of this MMR can be evenly allocated within the 3.1-to-10.6 GHz UWB band while the fifth resonant frequency is raised above 15.0GHz. It results in the formulation of a novel UWB BPF with compact-size and widened upper-stopband by incorporating this MMR with two interdigital parallel-coupled feed lines. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing improved UWB bandpass behaviors with the insertion loss lower than 0.8dB, return loss higher than 14.3dB, and maximum group delay variation less than 0.64ns in the realized UWB passband
