AbstractIn this study, a three-way Wilkinson power divider (WPD) was proposed the circuit whose center frequency was selected as 1.9 GHz operates between 0.95-2.95 GHz frequencies and has a bandwidth of approximately 105%. The simulation and measurement results of the designed circuit were well aligned with each other below 10 dB return loss and 13 dB isolation. In addition, 0.4, 0.3 and 1.0 dB insertion loss were obtained in the output ways, respectively. The circuit is made more compact thanks to the curved structure of the output ways. It has been found that the proposed three-way power divider takes about 35% less space than the conventional circuit design.

AbstractA novel scheme of a shrunken Wilkinson power divider with harmonic suppression, using two identical resonators in the conventional Wilkinson power divider is designed. Moreover, the LC equivalent circuit and its relevant formulas are provided. To substantiate the functionality and soundness of design, a microstrip implementation of this design operating at 1 GHz with the second to eighth harmonic suppression, is developed. The proposed circuit is relatively smaller than the conventional circuit, (roughly 55% of the conventional circuit). Simulation and measurement results for the proposed scheme, which are highly consistent with one another, indicate a good insertion loss about 3.1 dB, input return loss of 20 dB and isolation of 20 dB, while sustaining high-power handling capability over the Wilkinson power divider.

A wide-stopband bandpass-filtering power divider with high-frequency selectivity has been proposed in this paper. The input and output feeding lines and eight 1/4 wavelength resonators are used to realize the signal transmission. In order to obtain good frequency selectivity, source-load coupling transmission path is used to generate transmission zeros near the passband. A four-way power divider with bandpass-filtering response and high-frequency selectivity is designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results agree with the simulated ones closely in the desirable frequency range. The measured center frequency of the power divider is 2.38 GHz with input return loss of 31.2 dB, while the measured insertion loss is about 1 dB (not including ideal 6 dB four-way power dividing insertion loss). Moreover, the measured 3-dB bandwidth is 12% and the measured stopband attenuation is >15 dB from 2.59 to 7.7 GHz. In addition, two transmission zeros of 1.9 and 2.8 GHz are located near the passband. The measured output isolations are all >15.7 dB.

This work presents a miniaturized X-Ku band Wilkinson power divider (WPD), based on 0.18μm 1P6M CMOS foundry technology. The proposed two-dimensional transmission line, called a complementary-conducting-strip (CCS), replaces the conventional microstrip (MS) line structure. With this CCS structure, the occupying area of this novel divider is about 96 % smaller than that of the conventional MS WPD. The prototype occupies an area of only 345 μm by 360 μm without input/output (I/O) pads. The new WPD has an insertion loss of 4.9 dB, an isolation of 13 dB and a return loss 12 dB between 8 GHz and 18 GHz.

Band Pass

In telecommunication, filters are often used to pass the desired frequency. One of them is the Band-Pass Filter (BPF) which is passing signals between the upper cut-off frequency and the lower cut-off frequency. This research aims to make a band-pass filter that can pass 3 GHz frequency with a bandwidth of 200 MHz. This filter is designed with a square open-loop resonator simulated using Advanced Design System (ADS) software. The filter is made using FR 4-epoxy substrates with a dielectric constant (ε ) of 4.6 and substrate thickness (h) of 1.6 mm. Based on the simulation results obtained in the form of a comparison graph between the response of magnitude to frequency, it shows that the value of the return loss (S 11 ) parameter of -23.549 dB, insertion loss (S 21 ) parameter value of -1.397 dB, and a slightly shifted middle frequency of 2.890 GHz. Then for the measurement results obtained a parameter value return loss (S 11 ) of -16.364 dB, parameter value insertion loss (S 21 ) of -3.561 dB with a center frequency of 3.185 GHz.

AbstractA dual closed-loop stepped impedance resonator (DCLSIR) is investigated and used in designing a compact microstrip bandpass filter (BPF). The proposed DCLSIR is symmetrical; as a result, the symmetric characteristics of the resonator have been used. The design equations are derived and used to support the circuit design. The center frequency, position of transmission zeros, and fractional bandwidth (FBW) are easily tuned by changing the physical dimensions of the resonator. Three transmission zeros are generated to improve the performance in the upper stopband. A DCLSIR prototype BPF is fabricated with a center frequency of 9.3 GHz, and evaluated to validate the design concept. The measured FBW is 9.25%, the insertion loss is 1.58 dB, and the return loss is over 17 dB. The measurement results agree well with the simulation results.

Negative Group Delay

A novel Gysel power divider with negative group delay (NGD), good matching, and low insertion loss is proposed. Resistors connected with short-circuited coupled lines (RCSCL) are shunted at output ports of the Gysel power divider to obtain NGD characteristics, and another resistor is shunted at the input port to realize perfect input and output matching. To verify the proposed structure, an NGD Gysel power divider is designed and fabricated. At the center frequency of 1.0 GHz, the measured NGD times for different output ports are −1.94 ns and −1.97 ns, the input/output port return loss is greater than 38 dB, the insertion loss is less than 8.3 dB, and the isolation between output ports is higher than 41 dB. To enhance the NGD bandwidth, two RCSCL networks having slightly different center frequencies are connected in parallel, which provides wider bandwidth with good input matching characteristics.

AbstractIn this paper, a tunable balanced-to-balanced in-phase filtering power divider (FPD) is designed, which can realize a two-way equal power division with high selectivity and isolation. A differential-mode (DM) passband with a steep filtering performance is realized by applying microstrip stub-loaded resonators (SLRs). Meanwhile, six varactors are loaded to the SLRs to achieve the center frequency (CF) and bandwidth adjustment, respectively. U-type microstrip lines integrated with stepped impedance slotline resonators are utilized as the differential feedlines, which suppress the common-mode (CM) intrinsically, making the DM responses independent of the CM ones. A tuning center frequency from 3.2 to 3.75 GHz and a fractional bandwidth (12.1–17.6%) with more than 10 dB return loss and less than 2.3 dB insertion loss can be achieved by changing the voltage across the varactors. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed. To the best of authors' knowledge, the proposed balanced-to-balanced tunable FPD is first ever reported.

Wilkinson Power Divider

AbstractIn the design of a microstrip power divider, there are some important factors, including harmonic suppression, insertion loss, and size reduction, which affect the quality of the final product. Thus improving each of these factors contributes to a more efficient design. In this respect, a hybrid technique to reduce the size and improve the performance of a Wilkinson power divider (WPD) is introduced in this paper. The proposed method includes a typical series LC circuit, a miniaturizing inductor, and two transmission lines, which make an LC branch. Accordingly, two quarter-wavelength branches of the conventional WPD are replaced by two proposed LC branches. Not only does this modification lead to a 100% size reduction, an infinite number of harmonics suppression, and high-frequency selectivity theoretically, but it also results in a noticeable performance improvement practically compared to using quarter-wavelength branches in the conventional microstrip power dividers. The main important contributions of this technique are extreme size reduction and harmonic suppression for the implementation of a filtering power divider (FPD). Furthermore, by tuning the LC circuit, the arbitrary numbers of unwanted harmonics are blocked while the operating frequency, the stopband bandwidth, and the operating bandwidth are chosen optionally. The experimental result verifies the theoretical and simulated results of the proposed technique and demonstrates its potential for improving the performance and reducing the size of other similar microstrip components.

The electrical characteristics of an interconnection system, which include impedance, insertion loss, and return loss, can greatly affect its performance as the signal speed increases. The objective of this research was to understand the discrepancy between the computer-aided analysis and measurement results of an interconnection system, so that a more accurate prediction of the electrical characteristics of this system can be made during the design phase. It was discovered that in both the time and frequency domain the computer-aided analysis results were consistent with the measurement results. Given these conclusions the simulation model was modified to improve the impedance mismatch within the interconnection system. It was found that by properly designing the antipad, the impedance mismatch can be greatly reduced.

This paper presents design and analytical model for Sharp Skirt Dual-Mode Bandpass Filter for RF receivers. Proposed filter is designed using open stub loaded H shaped resonator. Based on analytical model insertion loss S21 and return loss S11 for proposed filter are demonstrated. Inductive Overlaying plate is proposed to control upper passband edge of proposed filter to improve frequency selectivity with fixed center frequency. The proposed filter has sharp frequency selective range from 5.1GHz to 9.2GHz. With overlay plate, frequency selective range is tuned to 5.1GHz-8.6GHz. Without overlaying plate the proposed filter has return loss greater than 10dB and insertion loss of 0.7dB. Lower and upper passband edges are at 5.1GHz and 9.2GHz with attenuation level of 52dB and 54dB respectively. With overlaying plate, the filter has same S 11 and S 21 parameters, but upper passband edge is shifted from 9.2GHz to 8.6GHz
