Based on a new topology, a series of single-/dual-wideband bandpass filters (SWB/DWB BPFs) with reconfigurable masses of properties are presented. The proposed design starts from a dual-wideband passive filtering structure, which owns five transmission zeros in the stopbands and three transmission poles in each passband. Then, three capacitors are employed as the tuning elements. By controlling these three capacitors, DWB BPFs with different reconfigurable properties, including three independently tunable passband edges, tunable center frequency of lower passband with fixed absolute bandwidth, tunable bandwidth of lower passband with fixed center frequency, and switchable lower passband, can be realized. In addition, SWB BPF with tunable bandwidth also can be achieved by varying the inserted capacitors. For verification, a prototype with different capacitors is designed and fabricated. As the measured and simulated results agree well with each other, a simple design approach of reconfigurable SWB/DWB BPFs can be verified.

AbstractA varactor-based fully reconfigurable microstrip bandpass-to-bandpass-with-embedded-stopband filter is presented in this paper. This filter offers wide center frequency and bandwidth tuning flexibility under both bandpass mode and bandpass-with-embedded-stopband mode. The entire tuning ability is based on multiple mode resonator theory and external quality factor tuning structure for bandpass mode and the introduction of transmission zeros (TZs) for bandpass-with-embedded-stopband mode. Under the bandpass mode, the center frequency tuning range is 0.96–1.45 GHz and the bandwidth can be tuned from 0.09 to 1.41 GHz with a fixed center frequency at 1.22 GHz. Under bandpass-with-embedded-stopband mode, the center frequency and bandwidth can be tuned from 0.94 to 1.61 GHz and 0.2–0.33 GHz, respectively. Good agreements are shown between simulated and measured results.

Hexagonal dual-mode cavity and its application to substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter are presented. The hexagonal SIW resonator which can combine flexibility of rectangular cavity and performance of circular cavity is convenient for dual-mode bandpass filters design. By introducing coupling between source and load, the filter not only has good selectivity due to two controllable transmission zeros, but also has a small size by the virtue of its single-cavity structure. A demonstration filter with a center frequency of 10 GHz and a 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 4% is designed and fabricated to validate the proposed structure. Measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a compact microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) in dual-mode configuration loaded with cross-loop and square ring slots on a square patch resonator for C-band applications. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed design, the dual-mode response for the filter is realized with two transmission zeros (TZs) by the insertion of a perturbation element at the diagonal corner of the square patch resonator with orthogonal feed lines. Such TZs at the edges of the passband result in better selectivity for the proposed BPF. Moreover, the cross-loop and square ring slots are etched on a square patch resonator to obtain a miniaturized BPF. Findings The proposed dual-mode microstrip filter fabricated in RT/duroid 6010 substrate using PCB technology has a measured minimum insertion loss of 1.8 dB and return loss better than 24.5 dB with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 6.9%. A compact size of 7.35 × 7.35 mm2 is achieved for the slotted patch resonator-based dual-mode BPF at the center frequency of 4.76 GHz. As compared with the conventional square patch resonator, a size reduction of 61% is achieved with the proposed slotted design. The feasibility of the filter design is confirmed by the good agreement between the measured and simulated responses. The performance of the proposed filter structure is compared with other dual-mode filter works. Originality/value In the proposed work, a compact dual-mode BPF is reported with slotted structures. The conventional square patch resonator is deployed with cross-loop and square ring slots to design a dual-mode filter with a square perturbation element at its diagonal corner. The proposed filter exhibits compact size and favorable performance compared to other dual-mode filter works reported in literature. The aforementioned design of the dual-mode BPF at 4.76 GHz is suitable for applications in the lower part of the C-band.

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

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.

AbstractIn this paper, a tunable power divider (PD) with a good band-pass filtering response using quarter-wavelength stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) is presented. By appropriately adjusting the impedance and electrical length ratio of SIR, the proposed structure can achieve wide stopband performance. Meanwhile, four varactor diodes are loaded to the external resonators to achieve electrical reconfiguration. In addition, a pair of transmission zeros (TZs) can be generated by applying source and load coupling on each side of the passband, which can effectively improve passband selectivity and out-of-band rejection. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed design method, a prototype circuit of the proposed filtering power divider (FPD) with tunable center frequency is simulated, fabricated and measured. A good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is observed.

Two wideband bandpass filters with miniature size and wide stopband are proposed by using cascaded U-shaped resonators. The filters exhibit bandwidths of 31.1% and 28.8% at about 5.3GHz and 5.6GHz, respectively. Both designed filters have simple structures and compact sizes, wide passband, excellent out-band performance with wide lower and upper stopbands, and a pair of transmission zeros on both sides of passband. The new designs have evident circuit size reduction compared with relative reports. A wideband microstrip BPF is fabricated and measured, and the measurement exhibits good agreement with the prediction.
