In this work, a compact dielectric sensor for the detection of adulteration in solid and liquid samples using planar resonators is presented. Six types of filter prototypes operating at 2.4 GHz are presented, optimized, numerically assessed, fabricated and experimentally validated. The obtained experimental results provided an error less than 6% with respect to the simulated results. Moreover, a size reduction of about 69% was achieved for the band stop filter and a 75% reduction for band pass filter compared to standard sensors realized using open/short circuited stub microstrip lines. From the designed filters, the miniaturised filter with Q of 95 at 2.4 GHz and size of 35 mm × 35 mm is formulated as a sensor and is validated theoretically and experimentally. The designed sensor shows better sensitivity, and it depends upon the dielectric property of the sample to be tested. Simulation and experimental validation of the designed sensor is carried out by loading different samples onto the sensor. The adulteration detection of various food samples using the designed sensor is experimentally validated and shows excellent sensing on adding adulterants to the original sample. The sensitivity of the sensor is analyzed by studying the variations in resonant frequency, scattering parameters, phase and Q factor with variation in the dielectric property of the sample loaded onto the sensor.

In this paper, a novel three-port combiner based on coaxial cavity is presented, which consists of a band-pass filter with a transmission zero and a ultra-wideband band-stop filter, and the combiner is different to the conventional combiner based on microstrip or stripline. The design and simulated results show that the novel combiner has a good performance, which are insert loss more than -0.5dB and return loss less than -20dB between the GSM/DCS/TD band (800-2170MHz) and WLAN band (2400-2500MHz), the isolation in both bands less than -85dB, respectively. In addition, the performances of the novel combiner are demonstrated experimentally, the measured results have good agreement with simulated results.

To date, little research has been carried out on the integration of switchable and diversified functionalities into a single metamaterial in the terahertz (THz) range. Here, a hybrid vanadium dioxide (VO2) metamaterial was designed with switchable properties of band-pass filter and band-stop filter in the frequency range of 0.3–1.6 THz. Simulations demonstrated that under TE polarization, the proposed system acted as band-stop filter with the center frequency of 0.95 THz when VO2 is in the insulating state. Upon the transformation of VO2 into the metallic state, the proposed system behaved as a band-pass filter with a transmittance of >80%. The physical mechanism of the band-pass/band-stop conversion was examined by analyzing the surface current distribution of the designed device. The switchable characteristics of this structure can enable its wide application in tunable THz functional components such as amplitude modulators, polarization control, and intelligent switches.

Portable wireless communication systems are increasingly in demand in small sizes for human convenience. In wireless communication systems, the performance, size, and unit cost are very important. A band−pass filter is important to sharp cut–off frequency characteristics, size, and frequency selectivity in wireless communication systems. The band−pass filter has three types of techniques in the transmission−zero method, stub−loaded resonator, and stepped impedance resonator for the sharp cut−off frequency characteristic, adjustable bandwidth, and excellent frequency response characteristics. To obtain these characteristics, the impedance ratio and length of a stub are mainly adjusted. It also utilizes a multi–mode technique to increase bandwidth. However, it is analyzed that the problem of reducing the size of the device still remains. To solve these problems, the paper is applied to a stub−loaded resonator and a stepped impedance resonator to control the impedance ratio and the length of the stub to obtain the results of the transmission−zero method, bandwidth control, and size reduction through the folded structure. Dual−band bandwidth was secured by integrating a T−shaped band−stop filter. The designed band–pass filter has center frequencies of 243 GHz and 7.49 GHz, and the insertion loss of a proposed band−pass filter is 0.102 dB and 0.103 dB. Additionally, the return loss of a proposed band−pass filter is 19.13 dB and 19.96 dB, respectively. The bandwidth of a filter is 120% and 105%, respectively. The size of the filter is 0.0708 λg × 0.0533 λg. The designed filter has a good skirt phenomenon, small size, low insertion loss, and dual−band characteristics.
