This paper presents a compact tri-band waveguide bandpass filter using concentric multiple complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs). Two symmetrical concentric multiple CSRRs are placed on the transverse plane of a standard WR-90 rectangular waveguide at 8.41[Formula: see text]mm distance to achieve dual-pole, tri-band response. The proposed filter has been simulated using Ansoft High Frequency Simulation Software (version 14). Based on the simulated result the filter has been fabricated and tested. The measured result shows a dual-pole, tri-band, bandpass response with passbands at 8.04–8.2675[Formula: see text]GHz, 9.45–9.84925[Formula: see text]GHz and 11.35–12.005[Formula: see text]GHz, which is in good agreement with the simulated responses. The total length of the filter is 10[Formula: see text]mm, which makes it compact and light weight. An approximate equivalent circuit of the filter also has been provided.

In this paper, a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter using defected ground structure (DGS) with complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is proposed. By using the unique resonant properties of CSRRs and DGSs, two passbands with a transmission zero in the middle have been achieved. The resonant modes of the two passbands are different and the bandwidth of the second passband is much wider than that of the first one. In order to increase out-of-band rejection, a pair of dumbbell DGSs has been added on each side of the CSRRs. The structure is analyzed using equivalent circuit models and simulated based on EM simulation software. For validation, the proposed filter is fabricated and measured. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.

In this paper, a wideband antenna was designed for super-wideband (SWB) applications. The proposed antenna was fed with a rectangular tapered microstrip feed line, which operated over a SWB frequency range (1.42 GHz to 50 GHz). The antenna was implemented at a compact size with electrical dimensions of 0.16 λ × 0.27 λ × 0.0047 λ mm3, where λ was with respect to the lowest resonance frequency. The proposed antenna prototype was fabricated on a F4B substrate, which had a permittivity of 2.65 and 1 mm thickness. The SWB antenna exhibited an impedance bandwidth of 189% and a bandwidth ratio of 35.2:1. Additionally, the proposed antenna design exhibited three band notch characteristics that were necessary to eradicate interference from WLAN, WiMAX, and X bands in the SWB range. One notch was achieved by etching an elliptical split ring resonator (ESRR) in the radiator and the other two notches were achieved by placing rectangular split ring resonators close to the signal line. The first notch was tuned by incorporating a varactor diode into the ESRR. The prototype was experimentally validated with, with notch and without notch characteristics for SWB applications. The experimental results showed good agreement with simulated results.

AbstractA varactor-loaded half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) reconfigurable bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BPF is composed of complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) and varactors. Meanwhile, a nonmetalized via is employed in the center of the CSRR. It is noted that the varactor is embedded into the nonmetalized via, which can significantly reduce the tunable filter size. By changing the reverse bias voltage of the varactor, the resonant frequency of the proposed filter can be adjusted. Moreover, low insert loss (IL) and wide tuning range can be achieved. In order to validate its practicability, a BPF with the frequency ranging from 1.9 GHz to 2.5 GHz is fabricated and good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.

AbstractA compact dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) and double-side complementary split-ring resonators (DS-CSRR) is investigated in this paper. The proposed DS-CSRR consists of two complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) with different sizes. One is etched on the top surface of HMSIW, the other is on the ground. By changing the parameters of DS-CSRR, both the center frequencies and the bandwidths can be controlled independently, respectively. In order to validate its practicability, a dual-band BPF centered at 3.5 GHz/5.2 GHz is designed and demonstrated. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement with each other.

Abstract A compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with reconfigurable triple band notch characteristics is proposed in this paper. The antenna consists of a coplanar waveguide-fed top-cut circular-shaped radiator with two etched C-shaped slots, a pair of split-ring resonators (SRRs) on the backside and four p-type intrinsic n-type (PIN) diodes integrated in the slots and SRRs. By controlling the current distribution in the slots and SRRs, the antenna can realize eight band notch states with independent switch ability, which allows UWB to coexist with 5G (3.3–4.4 GHz)/WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz), WLAN (5.15–5.825 GHz), and X-band (7.9–8.4 GHz) bands without interference. By utilizing a nested structure of C-shaped slots and SRRs on the backside, a compact size of 18 × 19.5 mm2 is achieved along with multimode triple band notch reconfigurability. The antenna covers a bandwidth of 3.1–10.6 GHz. A prototype is fabricated and tested. The simulated and experimental results are in good agreement.

A novel method to design a wideband substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter (BPF) with compact size, wide stopband and high selectivity is presented. In this method some unique electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) cells are periodically etched on the top layer of SIW to realize a wide passband propagating below the equivalent waveguide cutoff frequency. By changing the configuration of EBG cells, undesired harmonics in upper stopband can be suppressed and a wideband BPF with wide stopband can be obtained. By symmetrically loading two complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) on the tapered gradient lines of the input/output ports, a transmission zero near the passband can be introduced, and it makes the frequency selectivity of upper sideband improve significantly. As a verification, a wideband SIW BPF with a 3.02 GHz absolute bandwidth (ABW) and a 64.7% fractional bandwidth (FBW) centered at 4.67 GHz is designed, simulated, manufactured, and measured. The results of the experiment and simulation are in good agreement.
