AbstractIn this paper, a novel microwave continuously tunable band-pass filter, based on nematic liquid crystals (LCs), is proposed. It uses liquid crystal (LC) as the electro-optic material to mainly realize frequency shift at microwave band by changing the dielectric anisotropy, when applying the bias voltage. According to simulation results, it achieves 840 MHz offset. Comparing to the existing tunable filter, it has many advantages, such as continuously tunable, miniaturization, low processing costs, low tuning voltage, etc. Thus, it has shown great potentials in frequency domain and practical applications in modern communication.

This paper proposes a novel microwave continuous adjustable band-pass filter integrated power divider based on nematic liquid crystals (LCs). The proposed power divider uses liquid crystal (LC) as the dielectric material. It can realize phase shift by changing the dielectric anisotropy, when biasing the high anisotropy nematic liquid crystal. It is mainly used in microwave frequencies. It has a large number of advantages compared to conventional filter integrated power divider, such as low loss, multifunction integration, continuous adjustable, miniaturization, low processing costs, low operating voltage, high phase shift, and convenient manufacture. Therefore, it has shown great potential for application.

AbstractOver the last twenty years, there has been a growing interest in the design of tunable devices at microwave frequencies by us- ing liquid crystals technology. In particular, the use of liquid crystals with high dielectric anisotropy allows manufacturing voltage-controlled devices to operate in a wide frequency range. In this work the frequency response of a liquid crystal band-pass filter with dual-mode microstrip structure has been studied in depth by using a simulation software tool. A reshap- ing of a conventional dual-mode square patch resonator bandpass filter with a square notch, studied in the literature, has been proposed with the goal of improving the filter performance. The main features achieved are a significant increase in the return loss of the filter and a narrowing of a 3-dB bandwidth. Specifically, a reduction in the filter bandwidth from 800 MHz to 600 MHz, which leads to a return loss increase from 6 dB to 12.5 dB, has been achieved. The filter centre frequency can be tuned from 4.54 GHz to 5.19 GHz.

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.

Abstract In this letter, a miniaturized Band Pass Filter (BPF) with wide stopband centered at 0.350 GHz for TETRA band applications is proposed using a Spiral Short Circuit quarter wavelength Stepped Impedance Resonator (SSC-SIR) and a stub loaded on feed line for enhancement of rejection level in the stopband. Spiral configuration of the resonator is used for the miniaturization of BPF. The proposed BPF provides a 3dB fractional bandwidth of 13.7 % with two transmission zeros in the lower and upper stopband to provide good selectivity and four transmission zeros which provide wide stopband upto 6.86f0. Proposed BPF has a very compact size of 0.064λg×0.062λg.

The use of bandpass filters is commonly used but the use of specifications varies depending on needs, in this case the microstrip bandpass filter is expected to observe the multiarms characteristics of the open loop resonator on the performance of the bandpass filter for EHF frequencies. The design of this microstrip bandpass filter uses a multiarms open loop resonator design where at the beginning of the simulation stage uses only 1 arm with patch width, arm spacing, feeder line width and patch length based on trial and error. The final simulation results are obtained with a connector distance of 2 mm and a distance of 1 mm between arms with a value of S11 = -13.8 dB and S21 = -2.8 dB at a frequency of 30.8 GHz based on the simulation results. The filter has been successfully fabricated but cannot be measured because the frequency is too high and the measuring instrument cannot measure the frequency
