The paper presents the results of a study of the design of a miniature band-pass filter based on multi-conductor strip resonators. Using the software for electrodynamic analysis, a sixthorder band-pass filter on seven-conductor resonators was designed and manufactured. Designed filter is characterized by small size and deep repression of the stop band. The measured filter characteristics exceed the characteristics of known analogs. The measured width of the highfrequency stop band of 24 times the center frequency of the bandwidth at the level of suppression at least 160 dB

Step-impedance resonators and step-impedance capacitor coupling pads are introduced to microstrip band-pass filters to suppress spurious stop-band responses up to the ninth order, thereby providing a very wide stop band. Combined with improvements in existing suppression techniques, the overall suppression in one of the filters, with 1 GHz center frequency and 42% bandwidth, is −54 dB, up to 8.9 GHz. By also using suitably placed resistors, spurious levels are now depressed to −67 dB up to 8.8 GHz, with only 0.03 dB extra pass-band loss.

Envelope analysis based on the combination of complex Morlet wavelet and Kurtogram have advantages of automatic calculation of the center frequency and bandwidth of required band-pass filter. However, there are some drawbacks in the traditional algorithm, which include that the filter bandwidth is not -3dB bandwidth and the analysis frequency band covered by the filter-banks are inconsistent at different levels. A new algorithm is introduced in this paper. Through it, both optimal center frequency and bandwidth of band-pass filter in the envelop analysis can be obtained adaptively. Meanwhile, it ensures that the filters in the filter-banks are overlapped at the point of -3dB bandwidth and the consistency of frequency band that the filter-banks covered.

Due to the frequency response periodicity of distributed transmission line, microstrip band-pass filter usually produces parasitic pass-band and outputs harmonics away from the center frequency of main pass-band. Based on the study of rectangular ring defected ground structure, a 5-order microstrip LPF(low-pass filter) was designed using the single-pole band-stop and slow-wave characteristics of the rectangular ring DGS(Defected Ground Structure) and SISS(Step-Impedance Shunt Stub) structure. Compared with traditional LPF, this LPF presents the advantages of compact size, low insertion loss, broad stop-band and high steep. It also validates the requirements of miniaturization and high performance for filters.

A reconfigurable band-pass filter with switchable bandwidth, for wireless applications is demonstrated using a dual-mode microstrip square-loop resonator. The proposed filter has been designed on Rogers RO4003C and achieves switchable bandwidth by changing the length of two tuning stubs with the implementation of two strategically placed p-i-n diodes as switching elements. The filter was designed with a center frequency of 2.4 GHz and the two distinct operation states have bandwidths, 113 MHz (4.8%) with an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and 35 MHz (1.5%) with an insertion loss of 1.5 dB. The physical size of the fabricated reconfigurable filter including the implementation of the DC bias lines is comparable to the size of a conventional filter.

Compact microstrip band-pass filter design using parallel coupled lines is presented in this paper. The microstrip lines are calculated and constructed using CST studio with two input and output ports of the filter structure are printed over Defected Ground Structure (DGS).The proposed symmetrical structure offers a simple and compact design while exhibiting an improved stop-band characteristics in comparison to conventional coupled microstrip line filter structure. The simulation and measurements of 2GHz prototype band pass filter are presented. The measured result agrees well with the simulation data. Compared with conventional parallel coupled line band pass filter, the second, third and fourth spurious responses are suppressed; in addition, the size of the prototype filter circuit is reduced up to 20.8%.

This paper describes some of the recent results of an ongoing U.S. Army research program examining the electronic behavior of hyperelastic stretchable capacitor, resistor, and inductor networks for which the conductor material employed is stretchable. As with traditional rigid analog components, stretchable electronic components exhibit frequency-dependant behavior. Unlike their rigid counterparts, stretchable electronic components may also exhibit dramatic strain-dependent behavior. In this way stretchable circuit networks may be viewed as controllable spatio-temporal filters. Resistance, capacitance, and inductance all change to varying degrees depending on the specific set of spatio-temporal inputs. These variations may be harnessed to create an adaptive circuit element that is controllable. This paper describes the results of integrating stretchable components into a tunable band-pass filter. Center frequency, bandwidth, and gain can be varied in a controllable way by varying the capacitance or resistance of specific circuit elements by stretching them. Biaxially stretchable components are described that are subjected to equibiaxial strain-states as high as 100% area strain. We examine the influence that the type of compliant conductor has on tunable circuit properties and on control authority.
