Abstract In this paper the realization of multiple additional transmission zeros in folded W-band waveguide filters is discussed. The transmission zeros (TZs) can be placed symmetrically as well as asymmetrically in the near passband region of the filter and arise due to a resonant coupling between source and / or load. Third and fourth order filter set-ups are presented, showing in total between three and six TZs. These zeros can be used to improve the selectivity of the filter without increasing the overall order. The filter design and realization process is discussed. Subsequently, the measurement results are compared with simulation, showing good agreement. As the filters are designed for the W-band, the manufacturing process is connected with some difficulties which are addressed within this paper as well.

AbstractThis paper presents a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) mixed electric and magnetic coupling structure implemented on a single-layer substrate to create finite transmission zeros (TZs), which can be used to design microwave filters with higher frequency selectivity. Mixed coupling is realized by three slot-lines on the top metal plane combined with an iris-window between two adjacent SIW cavities. The electric and magnetic coupling can be separately controlled by adjusting the dimensions of the slot-lines and the width of the iris-window, and a controllable TZ below or above the passband can be produced. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the mixed coupling structure is presented. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed structure, third- and fourth-order cross-coupled generalized Chebyshev bandpass filters are designed and fabricated using the standard printed circuit board process. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results. The filters exhibit simple structure and good frequency selectivity.

Abstract In this paper, a balanced dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) is designed based on microstrip folded stepped impedance split ring resonators (SISRRs) and balanced microstrip/slotline transition structures. The center frequencies and the fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of the two differential-mode (DM) passbands can be tuned by changing the physical lengths of two SISRRs and the gaps between the two resonators, respectively. The balanced microstrip/slotline transition structures can achieve a wideband common-mode (CM) suppression. Moreover, the DM passbands are independent from the CM responses, which significantly simplifies the design procedure. In addition, due to 0-degree feed structure and cross coupling structure, more transmission zeros can be realized, which can improve the passbands selectivity greatly. In order to validate the design strategies, a balanced dual-band BPF centered at 2.47 GHz and 5.21 GHz was fabricated and a good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
