This paper includes two new microstrip filter configurations for high frequency and Ultra-Wide Band applications. The first proposed filter is a composition of four parallel open-circuited stubs connected by optimized fractal-structured microstrip line. The filter response is a combination of three passing regions, namely low pass from 0.1 GHz to 3 GHz, band-pass from 4.5 GHz to 9 GHz and high pass from 10.5 GHz to 13 GHz, separated by two rejection regions from 3 GHz to 4.5 GHz and 9 GHz to 10.5 GHz. Deep and sharp rejection regions reaching up to -44.6 dB with 40 % fractional bandwidth (FBW) are observed with a good electrical performance. Furthermore, with a comparative table, the advantages of this proposed BSF in terms of FBW, compactness and insertion loss are compared with recently reported related studies. Secondly a dual-band band pass filter implementing a Stepped-Impedance resonator (SIR) and a modified H-shaped structure is presented. This filter is designed to operate in a low pass region up to 3.58 GHz and a band pass region from 15.38 to 21.65 GHz, with a wide stopband region between 4.46 and 14.07 GHz. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement. Compared to its peers, the compact size and low price allow for a wide application of these filter configurations, while passing frequencies allow operation in the unlicensed frequency spectrum, which is popular for high-speed communication. Keywords: Microstrip Filter, Band Pass, Band Stop, Open Stubs, SIR.

Two dual-band second-order highly selective band pass filters operated at 3.5/5.5 GHz and 3.5/6 GHz for wireless local area network /worldwide interoperability for microwave access WLAN/WiMAX applications are introduced in this paper. The designed filters are inspired of utilizing two coupled open-loop resonators loaded with stub, spiral resonators and lumped capacitors. The filters are designed based on calculating the desired coupling matrix and the external quality factor. The first and the second filters are designed at the fundamental mode of 3.5 GHz then the first filter is loaded with two spiral resonators in the microstrip line to produce the desired band stop behaviour, which in turn achieves the second pass-band. However, the second band of the second filter is achieved by loading the stub with the lumped capacitors, which controls the second mode. The centre frequency of the second band is adjusted by varying the lumped capacitors values. The two designed filters have insertion loss less than 0.7 dB in the pass-band region, high selectivity with more than 4 transmission zeros and more than 20 dB attenuation level in the stop band region. The suggested filter has compact size and high selectivity with tunability behavior. The two filters are fabricated and measured to validate the simulated results.

Due to the frequency response periodicity of distributed transmission line, microstrip band-pass filter usually produces parasitic pass-band and outputs harmonics away from the center frequency of main pass-band. Based on the study of rectangular ring defected ground structure, a 5-order microstrip LPF(low-pass filter) was designed using the single-pole band-stop and slow-wave characteristics of the rectangular ring DGS(Defected Ground Structure) and SISS(Step-Impedance Shunt Stub) structure. Compared with traditional LPF, this LPF presents the advantages of compact size, low insertion loss, broad stop-band and high steep. It also validates the requirements of miniaturization and high performance for filters.

In this paper, a dual band microstrip bandpass filter has been proposed utilizing three edge coupled resonators, interdigital stubs and DGS technique. To enhance the coupling degree, two interdigital coupled feed lines are employed in this filter. The suppressing cell consists of stepped impedance ladder type resonators, which provides a wide stopband. The proposed suppressing cell has clear advantages like low insertion loss in the passband and suitable roll off. The frequency response of the filter looks like a standard dual band band-pass filter. The filter exhibits a dual passband with resonant frequencies at 2.2GHz and 3.45GHz covers LTE1 and LTE22 bands.

A Morlet-like wavelet cluster-based method for band-pass filtering and envelope demodulation is described. Via appropriate choice of wavelet parameters, a wavelet cluster combined with multi-Morlet-like wavelets can be used as a band-pass filter with zero phase shift, flat topped pass-band and rapid attenuation in the transition band. It can be used to extract high frequency natural vibration components. The imaginary part of the Morlet-like wavelet cluster is the Hilbert transformation of its real part. This can be used to implement envelope demodulation and extract the envelope component of the high frequency resonance band. The method is applied for fault diagnosis relating to bearing defects in a dry vacuum pump. It is shown that the fault characteristic frequencies can be extracted effectively. The efficacy of the method is demonstrated in experimental studies.

AbstractIn this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) with a sharp notch band is presented. The UWB BPF consists of modified elliptical-ring and multi-mode stub-loaded resonator (MM-SLR). By adding the asymmetric tight coupled lines resonator via input/output (I/O) lines, it can be achieved UWB band-pass response. With adding two bends to the middle resonator, a notch band at 6.86 GHz is created, so that it can be controlled using the mathematical formulas (MF). In the meantime, the equivalent circuit of the middle resonator is obtained using L–C analysis. Measured results of fabricated filter have the advantage such as ultra-wide pass band (flandfHof the defined UWB pass band are 3.776 and 10.42 GHz, which satisfy the requirements of FCC-specified UWB limits), compact size, low insertion loss <0.65 dB and the stop band of the proposed filter is from 11.1 to 16.32 GHz with attenuation of −39.8 to −42.14 dB, respectively. The proposed UWB filter is realized using the substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2 and substrate height of 0.787 mm. Experimental verification is provided and good agreement has been found between simulation and measurement results.

In this paper, the design, simulation and fabrication of a filtering antenna is proposed. The filtering antenna structure is, therefore, framed by integrating elements, such as the feed line, parallel coupled resonators and the microstrip patch antenna array. The combined elements are designed for third order Chebyshev band pass filter with a pass band ripple of 0.1 dB and the integrated structure is more suitable for different S-band (2 GHz – 4 GHz) wireless applications. The equivalent circuit model for the proposed filtering antenna structure is analysed and the design procedure of the filter is also presented in detail. The 1x2 rectangular patch antenna array acts both as a radiating element and also as the last resonator of the band pass filter. The proposed filtering antenna structure results in high out-of-band rejection, enhanced bandwidth and a gain of about 209 MHz and 1.53 dB. The fabricated result agrees well with the simulation characteristics
