This work presents a novel microstrip dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) using meandros spirals and patch cells, which is proposed for the first time by this work. It occupies a very compact size of 0.0017 λg2. The proposed filter is designed to operate at Fo1=0.85 GHz and Fo2=1.85 GHz for GSM-850/GSM-1900 applications. In addition to the small size, it has several advantages in terms of wide fractional bandwidths (FBW), low insertion losses and high return losses at both channels. The simulated insertion losses at the lower and upper passbands are 0.05 dB and 0.1 dB, respectively. Another advantage of the proposed BPF of this work is the attenuated harmonics, where it is able to suppress 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th harmonics (4.11 Fo1) with -20 dB maximum harmonic level.

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.

A narrowband dual-band bandpass filter based on step impedance resonator (SIR) is proposed in this paper to realize high performance with a compact size. The center frequencies of the designed filter are 2.4 and 5.8GHz, where it is suitable for wireless communication system. The absolute bandwidth approaches 200MHz with 8.3% fractional bandwidth at -3dB, and the simulations show that the return loss of the first and the second band is lower than -20dB. Between the two passbands, there is a transmission zero which can achieve a high out-band isolation. For demonstration, the filter has been fabricated and the measurement results show the excellent agreement with the theoretical simulation results

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.

This work introduces a simplified multi-aperture iris notch suitable for designing waveguide filters having an extremely improved compactness/rejection ratio, regarding available solutions, and adequate pass-band performances. The proposed iris architecture, analyzed for the first time, exhibits a unique transmission zero in the waveguide mono-mode bandwidth which can be easily located below or above the pass-band. The frequency of this transmission zero is evaluated in terms of the iris dimensions thus providing useful guidelines for designing filters with suitable responses. As a consequence of this simplified topology, any designed filter can be easily manufactured by cutting along its E-field symmetry plane. This strategy greatly improves the filter’s insertion loss regarding classical implementations based on more complicated arrangements with piled thin metallic sheets. Two exemplary filters have been designed and tested to be used in a high-performance X-band SATCOM terminal with an 80% size reduction with respect to the existing systems. Both filters covering the Rx (7.25–75 GHz) and Tx (7.9–8.4 GHz) sub-bands show a reflection of −25 dB with insertion losses below 1 dB in the pass-band, whereas they present a very sharp out-of-band rejection of at least 90 dB, that is, a 600 dB/GHz slope at X band.

A novel configuration of a dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) working as a harmonic attenuator is introduced and fabricated. The proposed filter operates at 3 GHz, for UHF and SHF applications, and 6.3 GHz, for wireless applications. The presented layout has a symmetric structure, which consists of coupled resonators. The designing of the proposed resonator is performed by introducing a new LC equivalent model of coupled lines. To verify the LC model of the coupled lines, the lumped elements are calculated. The introduced filter has a wide stopband up to 85 GHz with 28th harmonic suppression, for the first channel, and 13th harmonic suppression, for the second channel. The harmonics are attenuated using a novel structure. Also, the proposed BPF has a compact size of 0.056 λg2. Having several transmission zeros (TZs) that improve the performance of the presented BPF is another feature. The proposed dual-band BPF is fabricated and measured to verify the design method, where the measurement results confirm the simulations.

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.
