A single optimization algorithm based on SolvOpt that synthesizes coupling matrices for cross-coupled microwave filters is presented. The rules for setting initial values of SolvOpt are proposed to find global minimum of the cost function. SolvOpt method provides faster convergence and higher accuracy to find the final solution compared with hybrid optimization algorithms. Application examples illustrate the excellent performance and the validity of this method.

AbstractIn this paper, a completely reconfigurable comb-line bandpass filter is presented. Due to the modularity, different standard coupling matrix topologies like the folded form, cascaded triplets, and the cul-de-sac form can be implemented and tested. Circuit-based coupling matrices like the extracted pole topology can easily be realized as well. Different types of input-/output- and cross-couplings can be examined before fabrication of a fixed filter set-up takes place. Furthermore, the proposed filter platform can be used to construct a diplexer. By using different heights of the inner and outer conductor of the coaxial resonators, arbitrary center frequencies in the range between 1 and 4 GHz can be realized. Various types of input couplings are available and proposed here to achieve bandwidths between 10 and 110 MHz. A variety of cross-coupling apertures able to realize transmission zeros are presented as well.
