Abstract The waveguide filter structure is treated by two softwares (HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) and CST (Computer Simulation Technology)). Numerical example is given in this article to demonstrate, step by step, the application of the approach to the design of resonator, direct coupled waveguide and microstrip filters based on electromagnetic (EM) simulations. For this design procedure, the filter structure is simulated by successively adding one resonator at a time. To continue the work illustrates how to design a fourth order coupled resonator based rectangular waveguide circuit in the traditional way. With a large number of variables, such tuning work consumes a lot of time and the convergence of the final result is not guaranteed. A fourth order X-band bandpass filter with a center frequency of 11 GHz and a fractional bandwidth FBW = 0,0273 is designed using this procedure and presented here as an example. The simulated results by CST are presented and compared withthe results simulated by a high-frequency structure simulator. Good agreement between the simulated HFSSand simulated results by CST is observed.

A comb shaped microstrip antenna is designed by loading rectangular slots on the patch of the antenna. The antenna resonating at three different frequencies f1 = 5.35 GHz, f2 = 6.19 GHz and f3= 8.15 GHz. The designed antenna is simulated on High Frequency Structure Simulator software [HFSS] and the antenna is fabricated using substrate glass epoxy with dielectric constant 4.4 having dimension of 8x4x0.16 cms. The antenna shows good return loss, bandwidth and VSWR. Experimental results are observed using Vector Analyzer MS2037C/2.

Design of RF and microwave filters has always been the challenging engineering field. Modern filter design techniques involve the use of the three-dimensional electromagnetic (3D EM) solvers for predicting filter behavior, yielding the most accurate filter characteristics. However, the 3D EM simulations are time consuming. In this paper, we propose electric-circuit models, instead of 3D EM models, suitable for design of RF and microwave filters with quasilumped coupled resonators. Using the diakoptic approach, the 3D filter structure is decomposed into domains that are modeled by electric networks. The coupling between these domains is modeled by capacitors and coupled inductors. Furthermore, we relate the circuit-element values to the physical dimensions of the 3D filter structure. We propose the filter design procedure that is based on the circuit models and fast circuit-level simulations, yielding the element values from which the physical dimensions can be obtained. The obtained dimensions should be slightly refined for achieving the desired filter characteristics. The mathematical problems encountered in the procedure are solved by numerical and symbolic computations. The procedure is exemplified by designing a triple-bandpass filter and validated by measurements on the fabricated filter. The simulation and experimental results are in good agreement.

A new ka-band circularly-polarized antenna is presented in this paper, in which a linearly-polarized wave is conversed into a circularly-polarized wave with a circular waveguide polarizer. After simulation and optimization with HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator), a compact circularly-polarized antenna is designed with a total height less than 25mm. More simple and easier structure is adopted to achieve a low-profile circularly-polarized antenna.

Novel compact interdigital bandpass filters (BPFs) which used multilayer stepped impedance resonators (SIRs)/folded quarter–wavelength resonators were presented. Two measures were taken to reduce the sizes of the proposed filters. Firstly, two resonators (SIRs and folded quarter–wavelength resonators) with novel structures were designed. Secondly, all the designed resonators were located on different dielectric layers. The proposed interdigital BPFs, which were simulated with the high frequency structure simulator (HFSS), show excellent performance and could realize the miniaturization purpose. Furthermore, it is found that the proposed filter with folded quarter–wavelength resonators is more excellent in realizing miniaturization and improving performance than that with SIRs.

Perkembangan teknologi dan informasi yang semakin meningkat mengakibatkan kebutuhan masyarakat juga semakin meningkat salah satunya adalah kebutuhan akan teknologi telekomunikasi seluler tanpa kabel (wireless). Perkembangan teknologi seluler di Indonesia yang terakhir berkembang sejak tahun 2010 adalah 4G LTE yang berada pada pita frekuensi yang telah ditentukan pemerintah. Perkembangan teknologi wireless di Indonesia juga sudah sampai pada teknologi 5G, didukung dengan adanya beberapa kajian mengenai implementasi 5G di Indonesia. Frekuensi untuk teknologi 5G termasuk ke dalam frekuensi tinggi, yaitu frekuensi dengan panjang gelombang yang kecil, frekuensi ini yang disebut sebagai millimeterwave (mmWave). Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan perancangan antena Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) yang dibuat menggunakan PCB berjenis FR4 epoxy dengan ketebalan 1,6 mm dan nilai konstanta dielektrik 4.4-4.9, yang bekerja pada frekuensi 28 GHz, dengan menambahkan slot untuk memperbesar gain antena. Perancangan dilakukan menggunakan software Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) v16.0. Sedangkan pengukuran antena dilakukan di Laboratorium Pusat penelitian Elektronika dan Telekomunikasi LIPI Bandung. Hasil simulasi antena bekerja pada frekuensi 27,9 – 29,3 GHz dengan bandwidth 1,4 GHz dan faktor refleksi mencapai -27,43 dB. Sementara hasil pengukuran menunjukan antena bekerja pada frekuensi 29,56 – 30,66 GHz dengan bandwidth 1,1 GHz dan faktor refleksi -24,35 dB. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan gain, dengan peningkatan gain paling maksimum yaitu sebesar 5,49 dB. Perbedaan ini mungkin disebabkan kesalahan dalam proses fabrikasi, proses menyolder yang tidak sempurna serta kesalahan dalam pengambilan data pengukuran

This paper presents results of a study on a bandpass and bandstop waveguide filter design using printed-circuit discontinuities, representing resonating elements. These inserts may be implemented using relatively simple types of resonators, and the amplitude response may be controlled by tuning the parameters of the resonators. The proper layout of the resonators on the insert may lead to a single or multiple resonant frequencies, using single resonating insert. The inserts may be placed in the E-plane or the H-plane of the standard rectangular waveguide. Various solutions using quarter-wave resonators and split-ring resonators for bandstop filters, and complementary split-ring resonators for bandpass filters are proposed, including multi-band filters and compact filters. They are designed to operate in the X-frequency band and standard rectangular waveguide (WR-90) is used. Besides three dimensional electromagnetic models and equivalent microwave circuits, experimental results are also provided to verify proposed design. Another aspect of the research represents a study of imperfections demonstrated on a bandpass waveguide filter. Fabrication side effects and implementation imperfections are analyzed in details, providing relevant results regarding the most critical parameters affecting filter performance. The analysis is primarily based on software simulations, to shorten and improve design procedure. However, measurement results represent additional contribution to validate the approach and confirm conclusions regarding crucial phenomena affecting filter response.

A new monolithic design of a miniature bandpass filter has been developed for the multilayer PCB technology fabrication. The use of multi-conductor stripline resonators in the design provides not only miniaturization, but also high selectivity of the device, which is demonstrated on a prototype filter of the fourth order. The center frequency of the passband of the manufactured filter is f0 = 546 MHz, the fractional bandwidth is Δf / f0 = 25%, the insertion loss is 0.8 dB. The filter has an extended high-frequency stop band, which at a level of ‒30 dB extends up to a frequency of 10f0. The dimensions of the filter are 15.0×12.0×4.3 mm3 (0.027λ0×0.021λ0 ×0.007λ0, where λ0 is the wavelength in vacuum at the frequency f0), and its mass is only 1.8 g. The filter's characteristics and ease of construction for surface mounting prove its high prospects.
