Stopband Attenuation

High-order quasi-reflectionless bandpass filters with improved passband flatness and good impedance matching both in-band and out-of-band are proposed in this work. The proposed design consists of conventional coupled-lines bandpass sections loaded with the presented absorptive stubs at the input and output. Analysis shows that the absorptive stub is equivalent to a 2-pole bandstop filter. Compared to the prior art, the higher-order nature of the presented absorptive stub enables a flatter passband and better out-of-band rejection. The overall filter stopband attenuation can be readily improved by increasing the number of coupled-lines sections without altering the passband responses. Furthermore, cross-coupling between the two absorptive stubs can be used to improve the out-of-band rejection by introducing two transmission zeros without affecting the absorption characteristics. The proposed design concepts are experimentally validated by the design and fabrication of a set of 2.4-GHz 1-, 2-, and 3-pole microstrip quasi-reflectionless bandpass filters. Measured frequency responses of these filters closely match those of the simulation.

Abstract This letter presents an approach to design two-pole source-load coupling and four-pole cross-coupling substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filters based on multilayer process. Utilizing the field distribution, the vertical magnetic and electric coupling of fundamental mode is designed by suppressing the first spurious mode. Then, source-load and cross-coupling schemes are realized with controllable features in two-pole and four-pole filters, respectively. The harmonic passband produced by TE102 mode can be suppressed by proper coupling technique enabling the connection with TE102 mode in two- and four-pole filter designs, respectively. Three transmission zeros, which are derived from source-load coupling, are introduced around the passband of two-pole filter to improve its selectivity. In the four-pole filter design, a six-order cross-coupling scheme including source and load produces four transmission zeros around the passband, leading to a sharp selectivity. In addition, another transmission zero is generated at the adjacent location of the passband to improve the out-of-band rejection. Compared with conventional horizontally coupled filters made of single layer, the proposed filters show a compact size. To demonstrate the proposed design method, a two-pole and a four-pole double-layered SIW bandpass filters are fabricated and measured. Measured results show that the proposed filters exhibit high selectivity and good out-of-band rejection, as well as a good agreement between simulated and measured results.

AbstractDifferential bandpass filters (BPFs) named Filter A and Filter B based on Terminated Coupled Lines (TCLs) are proposed in this letter. The TCLs contributes to not only three poles in differential-mode (DM) for wideband filtering response but also multiple zeros in both DM and common-mode (CM) offering wide DM out-of-band rejection and good CM suppression. Fabricated filters centred at 3.5 GHz with wide DM passband and wideband CM suppression have been designed and measured. The filters improved the noise suppression capability of the communication and radiometer systems. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

This paper presents in detail the design of highly selective microstrip bandpass filters that consist of microstrip open-loop resonators with a cross coupling that exhibit a single pair of attenuation poles at finite frequencies. The design approach enables one to use advanced fullwave EM simulators to complete the filter design, namely, to determine the physical dimensions of the filter. The results acquired through research & development process are simulated, analyzed and verified by using parallel-coupled lines filter topology, which are later, enhanced by various value-aided software tools such as MATLAB-7.0, CorelDraw-12, Microwave Office-2012

<p class="Pa41">This paper presents a single mode pseudo-elliptic bandpass resonator based on closed-loop ring topology. The resonator is built from six quarter wavelength transmission lines to form a square closed-loop ring structure. This structure creates transmission zeros at the lower and upper sidebands so that high selectivity bandpass filter response is achieved. The advantage of this topology is that the design is less complex since no perturbation is needed on the ring lines for creation of transmission zeros. Higher-order filters can be constructed by introducing quarter-wavelength coupled-lines, coupled at both input and output of the closed-loop ring resonator. For proof of concept, the filters are designed at 10 GHz up to 3<sup>rd</sup> order, simulated using full-wave electromagnetic simulator on microstrip substrate, <em>FR-4</em> with characteristics given as <em>Ԑr </em>= 4.70, <em>h </em>= 1.499 mm and <em>tan δ </em>= 0.012.  The filters are simulated and responses are found to be agreeable with the proposed idea.</p>

A compact reconfigurable and notched ultra-wideband (UWB) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is presented. The antenna reconfiguration operation principle relies on 2 mechanisms: in the first mechanism a resonator parasitic microstrip line electrically coupled to the TSA is used to notch the TSA at a specific frequency and the second mechanism relies on changing the input impedance matching of the antenna by means of changing the length of a stub line extended from an additional tiny partial ground on the back side of the antenna. The reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, and gain simulations and measurements for the proposed antenna are presented to verify the design concepts featuring a very satisfactory performance. Total efficiency simulations and measurements are also presented to highlight the filtering performance of the reconfigured antenna. When the antenna was reconfigured from the UWB to work into multiple frequency bands, the radiation patterns were still the same and the total peak gain has slightly improved compared to the UWB case. In addition, when the antenna operated in the notched mode, the gain has significantly dropped at the notch frequency. The simplicity and flexibility of the proposed multimode antenna make it a good candidate for future cognitive radio front ends.

High requirements on the electrical parameters of the filters are made in wireless radio communication systems. A number of tasks require bandpass filters with relative bandwidths of 8-12 %. In this case, the filter must have insertion losses of not more than 10 dB, have a rejection is not worse than 40 dB, unevenness in the bandwidth of not more than 1 dB. In addition, the amplitude frequency responses of the filter must have steep slopes due to the closely spaced frequency bands of neighboring communication systems. Due to its small size and other advantages, ladder resonator filters on surface acoustic waves are widely used in communication systems. To realize the high requirements of this type of filters, it is necessary not only to select all the topology parameters of the individual resonators included in the filter very accurately, but also to have a good computational theory and the necessary material parameters for the selected model at the design stage. Purpose: to show on the example of comparison of calculated and experimental frequency responses of ladder filters the validity of the method of extraction of the necessary parameters obtained for an infinite periodic structure by the finite element method for calculating of finite structures of real inter digital transducer and reflective gratings. Results: the method of extraction of parameters necessary for calculation by the method of connected modes on the basis of P-matrices is offered. The technique is based on the analysis of infinite periodic electrodes by the finite element method. Bandpass filters with a relative bandwidth 8-12 % on a piezosubstrate 49° YX LiNbO3 were designed and manufactured based on the proposed theory. It is shown that for this material, the calculation must take into account the direct radiation of bulk acoustic waves, since the design of ladder type filters, the radiation falls into the projected bandwidth of the filters. These calculations are confirmed by the results of experiments.
