Microstrip filter has extensive application in microwave circuit and communication system in the future. We take lumped components low-pass filter as the prototype and employ the Richards transformation and the Kuroda rule to change the low pass prototype into a bandstop filter. By using ADS (Advanced Design System) method we design a microstrip stub bandstop filter, whose center frequency, range of frequency and relative width are respectively 4GHz, 3GHz ~ 5GHz and 8%. And then we further optimize the parameters to get the circuit design layout. It is shown that all indexes reach the design requirements and the method possesses the features such as short period and high reliability.

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.

abstract The methodology to estimate the strong motion Fourier amplitude spectra in a short-period range (T ≦ 1 to 2 sec) on a bedrock level is discussed in this paper. The basic idea is that the synthetic strong motion Fourier spectrum F˜A(ω) calculated from smoothed rupture velocity model (Savage, 1972) is approximately similar to that of low-pass-filtered strong earthquake ground motion at a site in a period range T ≧ 1 to 2 sec: F˜A(ω)=B˜(ω)·A(ω). B˜(ω) is an observed Fourier spectrum on a bedrock level and A(ω) is a low-pass filter. As a low-pass filter, the following relation, A ( T ) = · a · T n a T n + 1 , ( T = 2 π / ω ) , is assumed. In order to estimate the characteristic coefficients {n} and {a}, the Tokachi-Oki earthquake (1968), the Parkfield earthquake (1966), and the Matsushiro earthquake swarm (1966) were analyzed. The results obtained indicate that: (1) the coefficient {n} is nearly two for three earthquakes, and {a} is nearly one for the Tokachi-Oki earthquake, eight for the Parkfield earthquake, and four for the Matsushiro earthquake swarm, respectively; (2) the coefficient {a} is related with stress drop Δσ as (a = 0.07.Δσ). Using this relationship between {a} and Δσ, the coefficients {a} of past large earthquakes were estimated. The Fourier amplitude spectra on a bedrock level are also estimated using an inverse filtering method of A ( T ) = a T 2 a T 2 + 1 .

In this paper, a miniaturized bandpass filter for ultra-wide-band applications is proposed. It is based on the embedding of high-pass structures in a low-pass filter. A semi-lumped technology combining surface-mounted capacitors and transmission lines has been used. The filter design rules have been carried out. Furthermore, two filters having a 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 142 and 150%, centered at 0.77 and 1 GHz, respectively, have been realized for a proof of concept. Measured characteristics, in good agreement with simulations, show attractive properties of return loss (|S11| <−18 dB), insertion loss (<0.3 dB), and a maximum group delay and group delay variation of 2 and 1.3 ns, respectively. A distributed filter based on the same low-pass/high-pass approach has been also realized and measured for comparison. The size reduction reaches 85% for the semi-lumped filter, and its selectivity is improved with a shape factor of 1.3:1 instead of 1.5:1. The semi-lumped filter's drawback is related to a smaller rejection bandwidth compared to the distributed one. To improve the high-frequency stopband, an original technique for spurious responses suppression based on capacitively loaded stubs has been proposed. Even if the performances do not reach that obtained for the distributed approach, with this technique spurious responses are pushed until eight times the center frequency. A sensitivity study vs. critical parameters has also been carried out, showing the robustness of the design.

This chapter presents many research works that have been carried out to deal with the problem of power supply to remote sensors. A 2.45 GHz voltage multiplier rectifier was validated to deliver 18V of output voltage with a conversion efficiency of 69%. Another rectenna was fabricated at 5.8 GHz of the Industrial Scientific Medical band and reach a measured voltage of 7.4V at 18 dBm. The third structure is about a series rectifier working at 2.45 GHz associated with a microstrip low pass filter which produces a supplying voltage of 11.23V. Added to the aforementioned results, the objective in this work is to design, optimize and realize two structures: A dual band patch antenna working at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and a compact rectifier circuit at 2.45 GHz for the power supply of low-consumption devices. This rectifier has been designed using Advanced Design System. The bridge topology was employed on an FR4 substrate. A good matching input impedance was observed and high conversion efficiency was obtained. Simulation results have been validated through realization and measurements.

AbstractObjective‘F0 tracking’ is a novel method that investigates the neural processing of the fundamental frequency of the voice (f0) in continuous speech. Through linear modelling, a feature that reflects the stimulus f0 is predicted from the EEG data. Then, the neural response strength is evaluated through the correlation between the predicted and actual f0 feature. The aim of this study was to improve upon this ‘f0 tracking’ method by optimizing the f0 feature.ApproachSpecifically, we aimed to design a feature that approximates the expected EEG responses to the f0. We hypothesized that this would improve neural tracking results, because the more similar the feature and the neural response are, the easier it will be to reconstruct the one from the other. Two techniques were explored: a phenomenological model to simulate neural processing in the auditory periphery and a low-pass filter to approximate the effect of more central processing on the f0 response. Since these optimizations target different aspects of the auditory system, they were also applied in a cumulative fashion.ResultsResults obtained from EEG evoked by a Flemish story in 34 subjects indicated that both the use of the auditory model and the addition of the low-pass filter significantly improved the correlations between the actual and reconstructed feature. The combination of both strategies almost doubled the mean correlation over subjects, from 0.78 to 0.13. Moreover, canonical correlation analysis with the modelled feature revealed two distinct processes contributing to the f0 response: one driven by the compound activity of auditory nerve fibers with center frequency up to 8 kHz and one driven predominantly by the auditory nerve fibers with center frequency below 1 kHz.SignificanceThe optimized f0 features developed in this study enhance the analysis of f0-tracking responses and facilitate future research and applications.

Abstract Records from a Benioff short-period seismograph located at Huancayo, Peru, are digitalized and then passed through a low-pass filter to get the long-period waves. In this way the dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves for paths along the Andes can be computed from seismograms which otherwise would be unusable. The comparison with the empirical curve for a “normal” continental crust (Press 1960) and with specially computed theoretical models indicates a crustal thickness of the order of 50 km. For periods between 20 and 25 sec., the observed group velocity shows abnormally low values.

In this paper a simple approach of designing the microstrip low pass and bandstop filter is presented. The microstrip stub based low pass filter with 2.4 GHz and attenuation of more than 60 dB at 4 GHz frequency is designed. The bandstop filter is also designed with notch characteristics at 2.4 GHz frequency. The fractional bandwidth of designed filter is estimated to be 30% with 117 dB of attenuation is recorded at notch frequency of 2.4 GHz in SIR based bandstop filter topology. The bandstop filter is implemented using coupled line structure as well as step impedance resonator techniques. The filters are designed on Roger RC40003C substrate. The design and analysis of filter with its layout and EM simulation is accomplished using Agilent ADS software. These filters can be used in front end transceiver systems, antennas, and modern wireless communication systems.
