Compact third-order microstrip bandpass filter designed by the distributed- to lumped-element equivalence

In reality, it is not easy to design microstrip filters for the sake of distributed-element effect. It is an effective approach to approximate distributed-element structures through appropriate lumped-element circuits. In this paper, some basic microstrip structures are discussed, whose equivalent lumped-element circuits are derived. Then, a novel microstrip filter is obtained by connecting these microstrip structures, according to the similar topology of the third-order lumped-element bandpass filter. The equivalent lumped-element counterpart of the proposed microstrip filter clearly reveals its physical mechanism, ie, how the resonances are created and coupled and how the transmission zeros are created. Furthermore, a set of the design formulas are presented, which can be used to calculate initial structure parameters and then facilitate design process. The proposed microstrip bandpass filter can realize a third-order elliptic bandpass response with one transmission zero at each side of the passband. In addition, two short-circuited stubs are added to input/output ports to create the third transmission zero. The filter is featured by good frequency selectivity and out-of-band suppression. For demonstration, an actual example was designed, fabricated, and measured.

Optimal design of third‐order microstrip bandpass filters by direct synthesis technique (DST)

To design microstrip filters is not easy for the sake of their distributed‐element effect. Undoubtedly, to understand their physical mechanism is very important to their design. In this paper, one effective approach to design some third‐order microstrip bandpass filters with each of 2 transmission zeros at each side of the passband is discussed. Lumped‐element equivalent circuits are used to represent these microstrip filters. Then, these lumped‐element equivalent circuits can be synthesized by direct synthesis technique we recently proposed, so that it is likely to calculate initial structural parameters of these microstrip filters and then facilitate their design. Verified by the measured results of the filter designed through the approach in this paper, the performance of the filters is close to ideal frequency responses. Furthermore, another third‐order microstrip bandpass filter is presented, in which open‐circuited stubs at input/output ports are introduced to suppress one specified harmonic to improve out‐of‐band attenuation.

Combining Coarse and Fine Models for Optimal Design

In this article we reviewed the implicit space mapping concept. We illustrated it using a simple tapped-line microstrip filter example. We demonstrated the robustness of our approach by performing an accurate design of a microstrip hairpin filter. A detailed and easy-to-follow design optimization procedure was provided and the Agilent ADS implementation of the algorithm was described. A good electromagnetically validated design in Sonnet em was obtained in a few fine model simulations. Implicit space mapping is a simple approach to combine a circuit-theory based CAD model and an EM simulator model to achieve fast and accurate optimal design and modeling.

Narrow-band stripline filters with transmission zeros at finite frequencies

A design method is described to realize narrow-band stripline or microstrip bandpass filters having one transmission zero near to the upper and lower bandedge. The filters utilize capacitively coupled open half-wave TEM-line resonators. Two nonadjacent resonators are also inductively coupled. No short circuits are needed. The design is based on the approximate or exact synthesis of the lowpass protoype presented by Levy. The transmission line parameters are obtained easily from the design formulae which have been derived using the susceptance (or reactance) slope parameter technique. The filter performance is good up to 12 per cent bandwidth. Measured results show good agreement with the theoretical ones.

Microstrip band‐pass filters without source/load inverters

In radio frequency/microwave or even higher frequency range, various transmission‐line filters have been proposed for frequency selection. Specifically, there is a kind of transmission‐line filters not having source/load inverters. To design them is somewhat difficult, if their physical mechanism is not fully understood. In this paper, the concept of the distributed‐ to lumped‐element equivalence is applied in the synthesis of several microstrip band‐pass filters without source/load inverters. As demonstrated, it can help to reveal the physical mechanism of the filters such as how the resonances are created and coupled. In addition, the distributed‐ to lumped‐element equivalence relations between filter specifications and structural parameters are presented and good initial dimensions are calculated, which will facilitate filter design. Several examples are presented for demonstration.     

Microstrip bandpass filter design using split‐path method and optimized curvature corrections

Bandpass filters with wide pass‐band are an essential requirement in various equipments of satellite and defence communication sectors. Here a method of split‐path interactions is proposed to approximately predict the resonant frequency and topology of bandpass filters which otherwise fall under the category of heuristic designs. Curved transmission lines are often required to make filter structures physically compact; however, curvature effects create errors in the theoretical (design) prediction of resonant or central frequencies for bandpass filter design. Earlier propositions on curvature corrections had been considerably precise, but recent design standards demand even higher accuracies. The prime feature of this work is the use of a meta‐heuristic optimization (i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization) technique in curvature corrections for the first time which brings accuracies of over 99% in the corrected results. The split paths used in this design are suitably curved, with the proposed optimized curvature correction technique, so as to attain a compact size of the filter. The resulting filter has a low insertion loss of around −1.00 dB and a sharp stopband cut‐off. Fabrication was done on a FR4 microstrip substrate with a good agreement between measured and simulated results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
