A band-selective power divider is demonstrated for the first time. By replacing lumped element right-handed (RH) and left-handed (LH) transmission lines (TL) in a conventional Wilkinson power divider, it is possible to achieve both power division and filtering simultaneously. By utilizing the positive phase propagation property of an RHTL, which works as a low-pass filter, and the negative phase propagation property of an LHTL, which works as a high-pass filter, the band-selective quarter-wave sections required to construct a Wilkinson power divider are implemented. The fabricated circuit shows an insertion loss in the range 1.7 dB–2.5 dB in the passband, with the circuit dimensions of merely 12 mm by 10 mm.

Abstract A compact filtering Wilkinson power divider with harmonic suppression based on lumped components is presented in this paper. The new divider uses two 5th-order elliptic-function low-pass filters to replace the quarter wavelength microstrip lines of the conventional Wilkinson power divider. The structure combines the power divider and the filter into a complete device. By integrating elliptic low-pass filters with the power divider, the proposed structure can suppress harmonics due to the filter’s band-notched characteristic. The power divider demonstrates a measured suppression of 37.1 dB for the second harmonic, 36.6 dB for the third harmonic, 38.6 dB for the fourth harmonic respectively. The harmonic suppression is higher than 20 dB from 2.75 to 7.035 GHz. Furthermore, lumped components are utilized to achieve improvement on size reduction. Compared with the conventional divider, the proposed structure effectively reduces the size by 77 %. The insertion loss is 3.2 dB at the center frequency (1.45GHz).

Due to the frequency response periodicity of distributed transmission line, microstrip band-pass filter usually produces parasitic pass-band and outputs harmonics away from the center frequency of main pass-band. Based on the study of rectangular ring defected ground structure, a 5-order microstrip LPF(low-pass filter) was designed using the single-pole band-stop and slow-wave characteristics of the rectangular ring DGS(Defected Ground Structure) and SISS(Step-Impedance Shunt Stub) structure. Compared with traditional LPF, this LPF presents the advantages of compact size, low insertion loss, broad stop-band and high steep. It also validates the requirements of miniaturization and high performance for filters.

In this paper, we design a high-order switched capacitor filter for rapid change parameter converter. This design uses a structure which consists of three biquads filter sub-units. The design is a 6th-order SC elliptic low-pass filter, and the sample frequency is 250 kHz. By the MATLAB Simulink simulation, the system can meet the design requirements in the time domain. In this paper, the 6th-order switched capacitor elliptic low-pass filter was implemented under 0.5 um CMOS process and simulated in Cadence. The final simulation results show that the pass-band cutoff frequency is 10 kHz, and the maximum pass-band ripple is about 0.106 dB. The stop-band cutoff frequency is 20 kHz, and the minimum stop-band attenuation is 74.78 dB.

A low pass filter based on spoof surface plasma polaritons (SSPPs) was devised successfully, which possessed three-section structure, the microstrip wave guide as the first section, the conversion section as the second section, and the SSPPs as the third section. It should be noted that there is a new V-shaped groove structure in the third section, which were carried out by the simulation on characteristics of stop band rejection characteristic and bandwidth for low pass filter. These results indicated that the low pass filter had Pass-band between direct-current and 7.8592GHz, the pass-band insertion loss was better than -3dB, the pass-band reflection was less than -10dB. This new type of SSPPs low pass filter would be certain engineering value in the application of microstrip circuit, microwave base station and radar microwave communication system between L band and X band.
