This paper presents a compact design of an ultra wide band bandpass filters with a notch band using interdigital structure. The aim of the design is to reduce the size of filter, reduce the complexity of the design, and improve the performance of filter response. The proposed filter comprises of a rectangular resonator sandwiched between Interdigital structures, with rectangular slot as defected microstrip structure at the input and output ports. This design has been used for the first time to achieve the above aim. The advantage with this design is that, it does not use any via or defected ground structure. The insertion loss of proposed filter, in passband between 3.1 GHz to 10.8 GHz, is less than 0.7dB, and for the notched band it is 21.5 dB centred at 7.9 GHz. The proposed filter is fabricated, tested and compared with simulated results. The proposed design was small in size with less complexity, and shows performance better than the other designs available in the literatures at this dimension.

AbstractA compact microwave lowpass filter based on defected ground structure (DGS), consisting of Yagi slot DGS resonators etched on the metallic ground plane of a microstrip line, is studied in this paper. The proposed lowpass filter was analyzed by parameter sweeping and optimal parameters were selected to design a prototype demonstrator filter. Measurements show the developed lowpass filter exhibits a 3dB cuto frequency of 3.07 GHz with a sharp transition between the passband and the stopband, low insertion loss of less than 0.6 dB in the passband and an in-band group delay of 0.4 ns. Moreover, an ultra-wide suppression band from 3.68 to over 20 GHz with a suppression level generally better than 20 dB is also observed from measurements.

The paper presents a wideband 3-dB quadrature coupler designed for operation at 2 GHz. The presented coupler is based on a broadside-coupled suspended structure in combination with a proposed defected ground structure (DGS) allowing for high power, wide-band and improved harmonic suppression performance. The experimental results show 0.2 dB of insertion loss, return loss of better than 18 dB and isolation of better than 25 dB in the frequency range from 1.74 to 2.67 GHz. The proposed coupler is able to be integrated in the status data transmitting system, which is suitable for vessel monitoring. The fundamental characteristics of the implemented coupler have been measured and verified.

This paper presents the design of wide-band bandpass filter using microstrip structure at 3-6GHz with fractional bandwidth of 66.67% based upon short-circuited stubs structure of 5th degree. In order to avoid the interference from existing system that operates in the frequency band, the folded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) was introduced to generate a narrow notch band at 5.2GHz. Pin diode is employ as switching mechanism for the notch response. This design is simulated by Advance Design System (ADS) software and using Roger Duroid 4350B with a dielectric constant of 3.48, substrate thickness 0.508mm and loss tangent 0.0019.The achieved return loss is better than 15dB and insertion loss is less than 1dB.The designed filter can be used in microwave communication systems such as wireless communication devices and military applications (radar system).

A planar power divider operating over the whole Ku-band is presented. The proposed device utilizes a T-microstrip junction combined with defected ground structure and an elliptical patch at the centre of the T-junction. An isolation resistor is connected across the slotted ground plane. The simulated results of the divider show equal power split, insertion loss is less than 0.3dB, return loss of all ports are better than 15dB, and isolation is better than 15dB over the whole Ku-band.
