Quasi-elliptic filter characteristics of an asymmetric defected ground structure

An asymmetric defected ground structure (DGS) with respect to a microstrip line is proposed. Its unit cell consists of two square slots connected with a rectangular slot by meandered transverse slots. The simulated, measured and equivalent circuit responses have been presented. The unit DGS pattern under microstrip line produces wide rejection bandwidth and high sharpness factor. Its elliptic band-reject filter response is modelled by appropriate LC equivalent circuit. Two such DGS cells under a microstrip line produce 3-pole quasi-elliptic bandstop filter response, which shows deeper attenuation without appreciable change in pole frequencies in comparison to single cell structure. Unit DGS pattern under coupled gap microstrip lines produces band-accept filtering characteristics. The frequency characteristics show a quasi-elliptic highpass filtering characteristics with sharp lower transition knee. Accordingly, an LC equivalent circuit is proposed. A cascaded band-accept and band-reject filter is proposed for designing a wideband bandpass filter. The bandwidth and centre frequency of the bandpass filter can be varied by choosing different set of DGS dimensions.

A design of the low-pass filter using the novel microstrip defectedground structure

A new defected ground structure (DGS) for the microstrip line is proposed in this paper. The proposed DGS unit structure can provide the bandgap characteristic in some frequency bands with only one or more unit lattices. The equivalent circuit for the proposed defected ground unit structure is derived by means of three-dimensional field analysis methods. The equivalent-circuit parameters are extracted by using a simple circuit analysis method. By employing the extracted parameters and circuit analysis theory, the bandgap effect for the provided defected ground unit structure can be explained. By using the derived and extracted equivalent circuit and parameters, the low-pass filters are designed and implemented. The experimental results show excellent agreement with theoretical results and the validity of the modeling method for the proposed defected ground unit structure     

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     

An asymmetric defected ground structure with elliptical response and its application as a lowpass filter

A new asymmetric defected ground structure (DGS) consisting of two square headed slots connected with a rectangular slot transversely under a microstrip line is proposed. In the frequency characteristics of its unit cell, an attenuation zero is observed close to the attenuation pole. The DGS unit is represented by Cauer's T-network, modeled by a third order elliptical lowpass filter and finally equivalent L-C parameters are extracted. Several studies have been accomplished on the influence of the geometric modification of the filter on its characteristics. Better transition sharpness, lower passband insertion loss and broader stopband are observed, compared to popular dumbbell DGSs due to its additional attenuation zero. The two-cell configuration of this DGS produces a three-pole lowpass filter having wide and deep stopband at low cutoff frequency. This is applied under the input and output feed lines of a parallel-coupled bandpass filter for suppressing harmonic frequencies. A lowpass filter is realized using cascaded investigated DGS and dumbbell DGS under a microstrip line.     

Compact microstrip coupled-line bandpass filter with four transmission zeros

A compact coupled-line bandpass filter with multiple capacitive cross-couplings to create four transmission zeros is proposed. The locations of transmission zeros can be adjusted by varying the values of cross-coupled capacitances so as to improve the filter selectivity. The proposed filter is based on one-eighth-wavelength (/spl lambda//8) coupled-line sections and quarter-wavelength (/spl lambda//4) resonators, thus it occupies only half of the circuit area comparing with the conventional coupled-line bandpass filters. Specifically, a fourth-order microstrip coupled-line bandpass filter centered at 2.46GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 10.2% and four transmission zeros is implemented and examined.

Novel compact parallel-coupled microstrip bandpass filters with lumped-element K-inverters

Novel compact parallel-coupled microstrip bandpass filters are proposed by using additional lumped inductors to realize K-inverters between coupled-line sections to achieve an equivalent to the quarter-wavelength (/spl lambda//4) resonator filters. As a result, the filter order can be doubled without increasing the circuit area, and no repeated passband is observed at twice the center frequency. In addition, by introducing the cross-coupling effect, two transmission zeros at upper and lower stopbands may be created. Simple equivalent-circuit models are also established as effective design tools. Specifically, several compact fourth-order microstrip bandpass filters with good stopband rejection are implemented and carefully examined.

Dual-band bandpass filter based on dual-plane microstrip/interdigital DGS slot structure

A novel dual-band bandpass filter based on a dual-plane structure consisting of both a microstrip and a defected ground structure (DGS) slot with an interdigital shape is proposed. The microstrip structure is connected to the ground plane by grounding vias to obtain tight coupling. By tuning the length of the fingers in the DGS, it is convenient to change the first passband operating frequency. The equivalent-circuit model is derived for the filter. A filter with two passbands centring at 2.44 and 3.28 GHz is shown with stopband attenuation of greater than 30 dB over the frequency range 3.7- 9 GHz.     

Miniaturized microstrip lowpass filter with wide stopband using double equilateral U-shaped defected ground structure

A compact double equilateral U-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) unit is proposed. In contrast to a single finite attenuation pole characteristic offered by the conventional dumbbell DGS, the proposed DGS unit provides dual finite attenuation poles that can be independently controlled by the DGS lengths. A 2.4-GHz microstrip lowpass filter using five cascaded double U-shaped DGS units is designed and compared with conventional DGS lowpass filters. This low pass filter achieves a wide stopband with overall 30-dB attenuation up-to10 GHz and more than 42% size diminution.     

Simplified Equivalent Representations for Multicoupled Lines and Their Application to Filter Design

This paper preaents simplified lumped-type equivalent representations, which are equivalent to multiwire lines in the vicinity of a quarter-wavelength frequency. It is believed that the derived representation can easily be applied to the analysis and the design of coupled-line filters and directional couplers of narrow bandwidths composed of quarter-wavelength strips. In this paper, the general design methad for coupled-line bandpass filters is presented as one of the applications. A new bandpass filter is proposed and the design formulas of the filter are derived by using the design method. Furthermore the range of validity of the derived representations has been checked by showing numerical design examples. They have been found to give excellent results for coupled-line filters of bandwidths up to about 30 percent.
