A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) is proposed for the design of bandpass filter (BPF). The left and right edge cutoff frequencies of the passband can be easily adjusted by changing the parameters of SIW and ring slot embedded into the SIW. Then, four half-wavelength circular slots are added on two sides of the SSPP located at the center of the circuit to introduce a high-selectivity notch band. In order to make the notch band switchable, four full-wavelength circular slots and four PIN diodes are applied instead of the four half-wavelength circular slots. As the PIN diodes are under the ON state, the notch band will be generated within the passband of BPF. On the contrary, as the PIN diodes are under the OFF state, the notch band will disappear. To validate the design idea, two BPF examples are fabricated and measured, whose simulation and measurement results are both in reasonably good agreement.

This paper presents an ultra-wideband bandpass filter (UWB-BPF) with a notch band and a wide upper stopband. Two pairs of half-wavelength high-impedance line resonators tightly and strongly coupled to the input/output lines are used to provide the wideband responses. The first UWB responses of 3.4–5.0 GHz and the second UWB of 6.0–10.0 GHz are designed independently first and then combined together for the application of a direct-sequence ultra-wideband bandpass (DS-UWB) system. Without using any extra bandstop structure, a notch band at 5.2 GHz can be obtained. The fabricated UWB-BPF with a compact circuit size exhibits good passband performances including insertion losses of 1 ± 0.3 and 2 ± 0.4 dB for first and second passbands, respectively, a high isolation at 5.2 GHz with an attenuation level of 22.7 dB, and wide upper stopband responses from 11 GHz to 19 GHz, simultaneously. The measured results also exhibit good agreement with the simulated results.

ABSTRACTWe model the operation of a micro-optical interferometer for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that comprises an SPP beam-splitter formed by equivalent scatterers lined up and equally spaced. The numerical calculations are carried out by using a vector dipolar model for multiple SPP scattering. The SPP beam-splitter is simulated for different angles of the incident SPP beam, radii of the particles, and inter-particle distances in order to find a suitable configuration for realization of a 3dB SPP beam-splitter. The results obtained are in good agreement with experimental data available in the literature. The feasibility of fabricating an interferometer is thereby corroborated and the calculated intensity maps are found rather similar to those experimentally reported.

This paper presents a novel ultracompact narrow bandpass filter with high selectivity. The proposed filter is composed of cascading two basic cells. Each cell is basically a microstrip line loaded with a quasiplanar resonator and series gaps which can be fabricated using a standard multilayer printed circuit board technology. The structure is analyzed through an equivalent circuit and full-wave simulations. The simulation results are compared with experimental measurements demonstrating a good agreement between them. The measurement indicates that the realized bandpass filter at the center frequency of 1 GHz has a fractional bandwidth of 2.2%. Most importantly, in comparison with other similar recent works, it is shown that the proposed filter has the smallest size.

A simplified notched design method for the Vivaldi antenna is exhibiting high frequency-band-selectivity characteristics. By suitably introducing half-wavelength resonator (HWR) and complementary capacitively loaded loop (CCLL), the notched-band selectivity is promoted while maintaining the wide impedance bandwidth of the antenna applicable for wireless communications. HWR is bent in the middle to focus the first notch pole, and the second notch pole is obtained by CCLL on the radiating patch. Additionally, the resonant frequency of the notched pole can be determined by the position and size of two loaded resonators in theoretical analysis, thereby realizing a wideband antenna with the desired notched band. Finally, the Vivaldi antenna of loading resonator was fabricated to verify the feasibility of this new method. Measured and simulated experimental results reveal that the antenna exhibits directional pattern in the passband, low gain at the band-rejection, and excellent selectivity within a frequency range. The simulation and measurement results are in good agreement. The proposed antenna achieves S11<−10 dB in 2.6–13.7 GHz and a notch band from 4.49 to 6.64 GHz to reject IEEE 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 frequency band. Moreover, the proposed antenna has good frequency selectivity, and its gain is good enough in the passband with peak gain up to 10.8 dBi. This antenna design presents frequency suitability, demonstrating that a UWB antenna with a controllable notched band has been realized.

A novel method to design a wideband substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter (BPF) with compact size, wide stopband and high selectivity is presented. In this method some unique electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) cells are periodically etched on the top layer of SIW to realize a wide passband propagating below the equivalent waveguide cutoff frequency. By changing the configuration of EBG cells, undesired harmonics in upper stopband can be suppressed and a wideband BPF with wide stopband can be obtained. By symmetrically loading two complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) on the tapered gradient lines of the input/output ports, a transmission zero near the passband can be introduced, and it makes the frequency selectivity of upper sideband improve significantly. As a verification, a wideband SIW BPF with a 3.02 GHz absolute bandwidth (ABW) and a 64.7% fractional bandwidth (FBW) centered at 4.67 GHz is designed, simulated, manufactured, and measured. The results of the experiment and simulation are in good agreement.

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.
