A high-temperature superconducting (HTS) band-pass filter centered frequency at 127.5MHz was successfully designed and developed. The HTS filter is 14-pole, adopting compact symmetrical dual-spiral resonators. The filter was fabricated on a 3-inch-diameter 0.5-mm-thick LaAlO3 wafer with double-sided DyBa2Cu3O7 thin films. Through the low temperature test, the insertion loss of the HTS filter is under 0.1dB, the bandwidth is 20 MHz, the return loss is better than-22dB and the out-of-band rejection is greater than 80dB. The filters measurements agree well with the simulation.

A planar band-pass filter based on High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) has been designed for possible implementation in the cryogenic front-end of the C-band receiver for the Sardinia Radio Telescope. The band-pass filter is designed to operate at relatively high frequencies: center frequency 6.7 GHz with 30% bandwidth. Seven nominally identical filters have been fabricated to test different carrier materials and connector types aimed to keep the fabrication of the HTS filter simpler and more cost competitive. In addition to the conventional approach, silver plating, copper carriers and SMA connectors have been used. Cryogenic scattering parameter measurements show a good agreement with numerical results: the average of the transmission losses turns out to be in the range 0.15–0.25 dB depending on the prototypes, whereas the reflection coefficient is below -16 dB. The insertion loss has been also measured by using a radiometric approach based on the cold attenuator method showing consistent results with those given by the Vector Network Analyzer. Multiple cool-down measurements have been performed successfully proving the data repeatability both in short- and medium-term. Concerning alternative technical solutions, the SMA connectors and silver plating appear to be valid options whereas the copper carriers are inclined to destroy the circuit. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental measurements on a traditional copper filter operating at 20 K show that the HTS filter improves the losses of about 0.2 dB with respect to the copper one.

In this paper, a W-band dual-mode substrate integrated cavity fourth-order band-pass filter is presented, which utilizes LTCC technology. The filter is composed of two dual-mode resonators which are constructed by rows of via arrays in the substrate layer. Two coupling vias near particular diagonal corners are set to perturb the two degenerate modes in each cavity and thus to generate an intra-cavity coupling. The filter exhibits 3dB bandwidth about 2.4GHz, return loss better than 19dB and out of band rejection better than 30dB. The filter occupies the area of 3.752mm4.064mm (including the two feeding lines) in the LTCC substrate.

Short range radar (SRR) uses the K-band frequency range in its application. The radar requires high-resolution, so the applied frequency is 1 GHz wide. The filter is one of the devices used to ensure only a predetermined frequency is received by the radar system. This device must have a wide operating bandwidth to meet the specification of the radar. In this paper, a band pass filter (BPF) is proposed. It is designed and fabricated on RO4003C substrate using the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique, results in a wide bandwidth at the K-band frequency that centered at 24 GHz. Besides the bandwidth analysis, the analysis of the insertion loss, the return loss, and the dimension are also reported. The simulated results of the bandpass filter are: VSWR of 1.0308, a return loss of -36.9344 dB, and an insertion loss of -0.6695 dB. The measurement results show that the design obtains a VSWR of 2.067, a return loss of -8.136 dB, and an insertion loss of -4.316  dB. While, it is obtained that the bandwidth is reduced by about 50% compared with the simulation. The result differences between simulation and measurement are mainly due to the imperfect fabrication process.

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.

Radar is an important component for people. A number of functions could be taken into account on a various aspect in term of quantifying the distance of a specific object, developing a map, and/ or forecasting climate. Generally, one of the main instruments within a radar is a filter. The aim of this study is to design a simple Band Pass Filter which able to be effectively worked on frequency 2.75–2.85 GHz. The filter is designed at the mid frequency of 2.8 GHz with ≤ -20 dB of Return Loss Range, ≥ -3 dB for Insertion Loss, and 100 MHz for Bandwidth, then it is manufactured into a Square Open-Loop Resonator microstrip. The filter uses Rogers R04035B for its substrate with 3.48 of Dielectric Constant Values  and 1.524 mm of Substrate Thickness (h). The radar’s filter is simulated by a software of Computer System Technology (CST) suite 2015. The simulation results -31.608995 dB for Return Loss Range, -2.0529871 dB, and 100 MHz for Insertion Loss and Bandwidth respectively. By the end of this process, this instrument is applied and a Network Analyzer is then utilized to get a comparable output. It produces a quite different ranges of -23.519 dB for Return Loss, -2,183 dB for Insertion Loss and 90 MHz for Bandwidth.  The study results a design of radar’s simple band pass filter which work effectively on frequency 2.75–2.85 GHz.
