Design, fabrication and measurement of a high-selectivity dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter are presented in this paper. The resonance frequencies of the filter are 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz which are generated by a meander-loop resonator and a square-loop resonator. The two dual-mode single-band-loop resonators are stacked on each other and create a dual-band bandpass filter. Some advantages of our design are compact size, high selectivity, low loss and also no dependence of two bands, resonance frequencies on each other. The measurement results exhibit that the minimum insertion losses are 0.19[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 0.32[Formula: see text]dB for 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz. Moreover return losses are better than 43.2[Formula: see text]dB and 40.6[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz, respectively. The proposed filter has a size of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm2. This microstrip filter is fabricated on RT/Duroid6010 substrate with dielectric constant 10.8 and thickness 1.27[Formula: see text]mm and its equivalent circuit is also offered. The measured results exhibit good agreement with the simulated ones.

A dual-band bandpass-bandpass microstrip diplexer with very small size and good performance is designed in this work. The proposed diplexer has a novel structure which is introduced for the first time in this paper. In comparison with the previously reported diplexers, it occupies the most compact size of 0.002 λg2 (226.7 mm2), fabricated on 0.787 mm dielectric substrate height. The resonance frequencies of the presented diplexer are located at 0.76 GHz and 1.79 GHz making it suitable for the global system for mobile communications (GSM) applications. It has a wide flat channels with two fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 41.1% and 50%. Another feature of the proposed diplexer is its ability to suppress the harmonics. It can attenuate the 1st to 7th harmonics. Moreover, it has low insertion losses and low group delays at both channels while the isolation and return losses are acceptable. Finally, the proposed diplexer is fabricated and measured to verify the simulation results, where a good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is obtained.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a compact microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) in dual-mode configuration loaded with cross-loop and square ring slots on a square patch resonator for C-band applications. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed design, the dual-mode response for the filter is realized with two transmission zeros (TZs) by the insertion of a perturbation element at the diagonal corner of the square patch resonator with orthogonal feed lines. Such TZs at the edges of the passband result in better selectivity for the proposed BPF. Moreover, the cross-loop and square ring slots are etched on a square patch resonator to obtain a miniaturized BPF. Findings The proposed dual-mode microstrip filter fabricated in RT/duroid 6010 substrate using PCB technology has a measured minimum insertion loss of 1.8 dB and return loss better than 24.5 dB with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 6.9%. A compact size of 7.35 × 7.35 mm2 is achieved for the slotted patch resonator-based dual-mode BPF at the center frequency of 4.76 GHz. As compared with the conventional square patch resonator, a size reduction of 61% is achieved with the proposed slotted design. The feasibility of the filter design is confirmed by the good agreement between the measured and simulated responses. The performance of the proposed filter structure is compared with other dual-mode filter works. Originality/value In the proposed work, a compact dual-mode BPF is reported with slotted structures. The conventional square patch resonator is deployed with cross-loop and square ring slots to design a dual-mode filter with a square perturbation element at its diagonal corner. The proposed filter exhibits compact size and favorable performance compared to other dual-mode filter works reported in literature. The aforementioned design of the dual-mode BPF at 4.76 GHz is suitable for applications in the lower part of the C-band.

AbstractAn improved feedline configuration for dual-mode resonator filter is investigated in this paper. Based on the introduced topology, a dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter with center frequencies of 1.8 and 2.4 GHz is optimally designed, fabricated and tested. The introduced dual-band bandpass filter has simple structure and enables high selectivity to be realized due to two pairs of transmission zeros located near to the lower and upper passband, respectively. Both measured and simulated performances are presented with good consistency.

Abstract This work presents an approach to developing dual-mode dual-band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter based on multilayer process. TE102/TE201 and TE101/TE102 modes are used to feature the two passbands, respectively. To begin with, large range of band location ratios are decided by the effective dimension of the SIW resonator. With reference to the field distribution, independent coupling schemes of the dual-modes are then realized by slots or circular apertures etched on the middle metal layer. It allows to not only introduce a large design freedom of bandwidth but also keep compactness. Finally, source-load and mixed couplings are deployed to produce transmission zeros around the passband in providing a sharp selectivity in the two filters, respectively. The details to independently control the center frequencies and bandwidth of two passbands are also presented. A two-order double-layered and a triple-layered SIW dual-band bandpass filter are prototyped to evaluate the proposed design approach, respectively. Results show a good agreement between simulations and measurements. The proposed filter exhibits flexible design freedom, high selectivity as well as good out-of-band rejection.

A dual-mode broadband bandpass filter (BPF) with multiple controllable transmission-zeros using T-shaped stub-loaded resonators (TSSLRs) is presented. Due to the symmetrical plane, the odd-even-mode theory can be adopted to characterize the BPF. The proposed filter consists of a dual-mode TSSLR and two modified feed-lines, which introduce two capacitive and inductive source-load (S-L) couplings. Five controllable transmission zeros (TZs) can be achieved for the high selectivity and the wide stopband because of the tunable amount of coupling capacitance and inductance. The center frequency of the proposed BPF is 5.8 GHz, with a 3 dB fraction bandwidth of 8.9%. The measured insertion and return losses are 1.75 and 28.18 dB, respectively. A compact size and second harmonic frequency suppression can be obtained by the proposed BPF with S-L couplings.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel second-order dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) by using proposed stubs loaded ring resonator. The resonant behavior of proposed stubs loaded ring resonator is analyzed by even-/odd-mode method, which shows its multiple-mode resonant characteristic. Parameters sweep is done so as to give the design guidelines. As an example, a second-order dual-band BPF operating at 1.8/5.2 GHz for GSM and WLAN applications is designed, fabricated and measured. The fabricated filter has a very compact size of 0.05λg×0.15λg. Measured results also show that the proposed dual-band BPF has a better than 20 dB rejection upper stopband from 5.47 GHz to 12.56 GHz. Good agreement is shown between the simulated and measured results.

AbstractThis paper presents a compact quad-band bandpass filter. The filter is realized by multi-embedded stub-load resonators. By utilizing multi-embedded structure, the whole filter exhibits a compact size. And due to the multi-section stub-loaded lines, four passbands can be realized and the center frequency of the four passbands can be controlled individually to accommodate different communication protocols. Moreover, by using 0° degree feed structure, there are two transmission zeros locates at left and right side of a passband, which greatly enhance the selectivity. To validate the proposed idea, a quad-band bandpass filter, which operates at 2/2.7/3.45/4.55 GHz is implemented. The insertion loss is smaller than 2 dB and return loss is better than 10 dB. Good agreement between the predicted and measured results demonstrates the proposed idea.
