A 44-MHz wideband switched-capacitor bandpass filter using double-sampling pseudo-two-path techniques

A fully differential wideband sixth-order switched-capacitor bandpass filter is designed for channel selection in cable TV applications. A modified double-sampling pseudo-two-path technique is proposed to achieve a second-order wideband bandpass filter with a single opamp. Implemented in a standard double-poly four-metal 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process and operated at 176-MHz sampling frequency, the filter achieves a measured center frequency of 44 MHz with a bandwidth of 6.28 MHz and a dynamic range of 58.3 dB at 3% IM3. The filter consumes 92.5mW at a single 3.0-V supply and occupies a chip area of 0.52 mm /sup 2/.     

A 10.7-MHz switched-capacitor bandpass filter

An experimental 10.7-MHz switched-capacitor bandpass filter is demonstrated that exhibits a 400-kHz bandwidth with a 42-MHz sampling rate. Basic design issues of such high-frequency filters are also addressed with emphasis on dynamic range and power constraints. A theoretical square relation between power and center frequency agrees well with experimental results. The sixth-order differential bandpass filter chip occupies 2 mm² using a 2.25-μm gate double-poly CMOS technology     

Compact tri‐wideband bandpass filter with multiple transmission zeros

This paper presents a tri‐wideband bandpass filter (TWB‐BPF) with compact size, high band‐to‐band isolation, and multiple transmission zeros (TZs). The proposed TWB‐BPF is based on a multiple‐mode resonator (MMR), which is interpreted by the method of the even‐ and odd‐mode analysis technique. The MMR can excite 11 resonant modes, where the first two modes comprise the first passband, the next four modes form the second passband, and the last five modes are used to generate the third passband. In addition, 10 TZs are yielded to obtain high band‐to‐band isolation and wide stopband suppression characteristics up to 14.95f_c1 (f_c1 is the center frequency of the first passband). To verify the proposed filter, a TWB‐BPF with 3‐dB fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 37.4%, 43.5%, and 40.4% is designed, fabricated, and measured.     

Transversal wideband bandpass filter with a wide stopband and multiple transmission zeros

Herein, we present a compact transversal bandpass filter (BPF) with an extremely wide upper stopband and multiple transmission zeros (TZ). Three signal transmission paths with shorted stubs and open-coupled lines allow signal transmission from input port to output port. Two resonant modes can be excited simultaneously and managed easily for bandpass response. Eleven TZs are achieved via transmission path cancelation; an extremely wide upper stopband with an attenuation level better than –12 dB is achieved up to 11.7 f₀, where f₀ is the center frequency (CF). In addition, bandwidth and CF can be controlled by adjusting electrical lengths. For proof of concept, a wideband BPF centered at 1.04 GHz with 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 49.2% was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The overall circuit measures 0.045λ_g × 0.117λ_g; good agreement was observed between the measured and simulated results.     

Compact microstrip bandpass filter with two transmission zeros

A novel compact microstrip bandpass filter is proposed using a half-wavelength (/spl lambda//2) microstrip line resonator and an end-coupling resonator. The filter has two transmission zeros at both low and high rejection bands, as well as low insertion loss and compact design by giving two paths to the input signals. A demonstration filter has been designed and tested. Theoretical and experimental results are presented.     

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.

Compact wideband bandpass filter

Designing wideband bandpass filters (BPF) with parallel-coupled microstrip lines requires tight coupling resulting in close separation between the lines and difficulty of fabrication. Here, it is shown that the etched slots in the ground plane of the parallel coupled lines can significantly increase the coupling. This technique has been extended to realize ultra-wideband BPFs having 3-dB fractional bandwidth greater than 100% and low insertion loss in the passband.     

A new compact microstrip two-layer bandpass filter using aperture-coupled SIR-hairpin resonators with transmission zeros

A new design of a compact two-layer bandpass filter using aperture-coupled microstrip stepped-impedance hairpin resonators is proposed and investigated in this paper. The proposed filter is composed of four stepped-impedance hairpin resonators located on two stacked microstrip layers, and the couplings between the resonators on the upper layer and those on the lower one are obtained by using three coupling apertures etched on a common ground plane placed between the two layers. In addition, the use of tapped input/output couplings allow this bandpass filter to generate two independent transmission zeros. A full-wave simulator is used to design the proposed structure and calculate the aperture coupling coefficients. With this two-layer configuration, the proposed filter becomes very compact and occupies a small space. To demonstrate the proposed design, a four-order bandpass-filter prototype was designed, fabricated, and tested at 2.14 GHz. Furthermore, a single-layer filter prototype was also designed and fabricated at the same frequency band and then compared to the first one. As a result, a significant reduction of approximately 50% was achieved. These features make the proposed structure suitable for compact and high-performance circuit component designs in microwave circuits.     

Waveguide bandpass filter with easily adjustable transmission zeros and 3-dB bandwidth

This paper presents a compact waveguide bandpass filter with adjustable transmission zeros (TZs) and bandwidth. The design provides the flexibility to place the TZs at the desired locations for better interference rejection. To demonstrate, initially a three-pole bandpass filter has been designed by placing three single slot resonator structures inside a WR-90 waveguide. Next, two additional asymmetrical slot structures have been used with each of the above resonators to generate two TZs, one on each side of the passband. Since three resonators were used, this process results in six asymmetric slot structures those results in six TZs. The final filter operates at 9.98 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 1.02 GHz and TZs at 8.23/8.70/9.16/10.9/11.6 and 13.115 GHz. Equivalent circuits and necessary design equations have been provided. To validate the simulation, the proposed filter has been fabricated and measured. The measured data show good agreement with simulated data.

Compact microstrip bandpass filter with two transmission zeros using a stub-tapped half-wavelength line resonator

A compact microstrip bandpass filter is developed using a half-wavelength (/spl lambda//2) transmission line resonator with a pair of tap-connected open-ended stubs. Such paired stubs with total length of about /spl lambda//2 constructs an equivalent line resonator. Together with two separated /spl lambda//4 line resonators, the three transmission poles can be achieved inside the passband. Meanwhile, two stub lengths are adjusted slightly longer and shorter than /spl lambda//4 to realize the two transmission zeros at both low and high rejection bands. Further, the long tapped-stub is kept wider than its short counterpart to improve the low rejection behavior. A filter sample is designed and fabricated to provide an experimental verification on the proposed filter.     

Development of LTCC bandpass filters with transmission zeros

A new method for implementing the multilayered filter is proposed. By properly controlling the behaviour of the coupling, two transmission zeros can be located at the same, lower or higher side of the passband's skirt. Moreover, measurements of fabricated examples match well with the electromagnetic simulation, which validates the proposed structure.     

Sharp-rejection microstrip bandpass filters with multiple transmission zeros

A simple design of a sharp-rejection microstrip bandpass (BPF) filter is presented. By creating multiple transmission zeros in the lower and upper stopbands, sharp rejection characteristics are obtained. The basic filter unit consists of a single parallel coupled-line section and an open-ended stub. A lossless transmission line model approach is used to derive the design equations for frequency responses and transmission zero positions. The bandwidths are controllable by the zero locations that in turn are controlled by varying the impedances of the configuration. To validate theoretical predictions, two prototype BPFs operating at lower band 2.4 GHz of WLAN are fabricated in microstrip form.     

A wideband stepped-impedance rectangular-ring resonator bandpass filter with multiple notched bands

A configuration of wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with multiple notched bands is presented. Proposed BPF is based on stepped-impedance resonator. By utilising dual stepped-impedance resonators in folded topology a rectangular-ring resonator is formed. Two notched bands in the passband are achieved without using asymmetrical coupled lines. In other words, the filter configuration is capable of producing notched bands. It should be noted that additional information on filter performance and design is presented. Measurement results are presented to approve propounded filter characteristics. The measured passband of the second proposed filter is from 3.68 to 10.2 GHz with insertion loss of –1.76 dB in the first passband at the centre frequency of 4.45 GHz. The measured notched band frequencies are about 5.45 and 7.95 GHz with rejection of –21.77 and –20.82 dB, respectively. The return loss in the passband is better than –11.4 dB.     

A modified Chebyshev bandpass filter with attenuation poles in thestopband

This paper describes a design method of a modified Chebyshev bandpass filter with attenuation poles in the stopband. The insertion of attenuation poles into resonators in the authors' bandpass-filter design is accomplished by connecting a lumped inductor or capacitor in series with a shunt-type coaxial transmission-line resonator. The inserted poles which are distributed over the stopband can be chosen such that the insertion loss of the filter has equiripple characteristic and maximum attenuation in the stopband with the given number of attenuation poles. The modified Chebyshev bandpass filter designed by this method can be effectively used in diplexer design
