AbstractIn this paper, a miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter (DB-BPF) using embedded dual-mode resonator (DMR) with controllable bandwidths is proposed. Two passbands are generated by two sets of resonators operating at two different frequencies. One set of resonators is utilized not only as the resonant elements that yield the lower passband, but also as the feeding structures with source-load coupling to excite the other to produce the upper passband. Sufficient degrees of freedom are achieved to control the center frequencies and bandwidths of two passbands. Moreover, multiple transmission zeros (TZs) are created to improve the passband selectivity of the filter. The design of the filter has been demonstrated by the measurement. The filter features not only miniaturized circuit sizes, low insertion loss, independently controllable central frequencies, but also controllable bandwidths and TZs.

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.

This paper presents a miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter using two coupled dual-moderesonators (DMRs). The dual-mode resonator is a short-circuited stub loaded square loop resonator. The concept of miniaturization achieved using multilayered technology. Therefore, the filter circuits are achieved in three layers. On the first layer, two coupled dual-mode resonators are designed and shorted to a ground layer to specify the required passbands. Next, a second layer employs two shorted quarter wavelength stubs coupled through one via hole are capacitively coupled to the first layer circuit to achieve the filtering response. For our demonstration, a multi-band bandpass filter is designed to serve a multifunctional wireless system has centre frequencies of 1.9 GHz GSM and 3.5 GHz WiMax systems. The filter is implemented and simulated using the momentum simulator of the Advanced Design System (ADS) software package. The filter response has two second-order passbands with four transmission zeros leads to a high skirt selectivity. The filter circuit area is very small, less than 37 mm2 terminating the feeding ports.

In this paper, a dual band microstrip bandpass filter has been proposed utilizing three edge coupled resonators, interdigital stubs and DGS technique. To enhance the coupling degree, two interdigital coupled feed lines are employed in this filter. The suppressing cell consists of stepped impedance ladder type resonators, which provides a wide stopband. The proposed suppressing cell has clear advantages like low insertion loss in the passband and suitable roll off. The frequency response of the filter looks like a standard dual band band-pass filter. The filter exhibits a dual passband with resonant frequencies at 2.2GHz and 3.45GHz covers LTE1 and LTE22 bands.

A novel miniaturized wideband bandpass filter (BPF) using capacitor-loaded microstrip coupled line is proposed. The capacitors are loaded in parallel and series to the coupled line, which makes the filter just require one one-eighth wavelength coupled line and achieve filtering response with multiple transmission poles (TPs) and transmission zeros (TZs). Compared with the state-of-the-art microstrip wideband BPFs, the proposed filter has the advantages of compact size and simple structure. A prototype centered at 1.47 GHz with the 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 86.5% is demonstrated, which exhibits the compact size of 0.003λ2 g (λg is the guided wavelength at the center frequency) and the minimum insertion loss of 0.37 dB.

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.

This paper presents a planar tri-band bandpass filter with high out-of-band rejection over a wide band. The filter is based on two pairs of λ/4 resonators embedded inside an open loop ring resonator without any size increase, where each pair of resonators are electromagnetically coupled to each other and the feedlines. This results in the excitations of passbands, where the first passband is generated by the open loop resonators. The second and the third passbands are excited by λ/4 resonators. The proposed technique provides sufficient degrees of freedom to control the center frequency and bandwidth of the three passbands independently. In addition, the six transmission zeros created around the passbands results in a tri-band filter with high selectivity, sharp 3 dB cut-off frequency, high isolation, low passband insertion-loss and high out-of-band harmonic rejection across an ultra-broadband frequency range up to 17 GHz. The proposed technique has the ability to switch from triple to dual band by removing one pair of the inner resonators. Design methodology and simulation results of the filter are provided.

In this letter, a compact dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) with an ultra-wide stopband that employs two folded open-loop resonators (FOLRs) and stub-loaded resonators (SLRs) is proposed. The dual-mode resonators are optimized by loading two SLRs onto the folded open-loop resonators, and this process is analyzed using the dual-mode theory. To miniaturize the device size and increase chip performance, the proposed BPF is fabricated by a III–V compound semiconductor-fabrication process using a high-performance GaAs substrate based on the integration passivation device (IPD) fabrication process. A compact dual-mode BPF with low insertion loss and high return loss is designed and fabricated. Two extra transmission zeros (TZs) located in the high-frequency range increase the wide stopband, and the two TZs near the passband result in a higher selectivity. A resonant frequency centered at 7.45 GHz with an insertion loss of −1.21 dB and a measured return loss of higher than −23.53 dB and 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 5.8% are achieved. The stopband can be suppressed up to 20 GHz owing to the two tunable TZs resulting in higher selectivity and wideband rejection. The size of the filter was drastically optimized using a simplified architecture of two FOLRs and SLRs.
