A compact lowpass filter using two single-sided compact microstrip resonator cells (CMRCs)with low insertion loss and broad bandwidth is presented. The cutoff frequency is about 1.4 GHz, the insertion loss is less than 0.6 dB and the 20dB bandwidth is up to the range from 2.1 GHz to 9.8 GHz by means of introducing four transmission zeros through two CMRCs. In addition, the simulated results demonstrate that the proposed filter is characterized by a compact size, low insertion loss, sharp transition, low return loss and wide bandwidth.

AbstractA novel lowpass filter with wide stopband and sharp skirt characteristics is proposed. To obtain the applicable lowpass filter, several cells of coupled T-shaped resonator, U-shape and dumbbell-shaped resonators are connected in series. The proposed filter has low insertion loss, high return loss in the passband and wide stopband. The transition band is from 3.18 to 3.29 GHz with −3 and −20 dB, respectively. Results of the fabricated filter exhibit a roll-off and relative stopband bandwidth of 217 and 137%, respectively. Measurement and simulation results show good agreement.

In this paper, we present a bandpass filter that passed frequency of 1.7 GHz – 1.8 GHz. It is applied for an uplink frequency in 4G 1800MHz. This filter is created by using substrate PCB TMM-10i and has a compact size of 42 mm x 42 mm. The compact size is also important besides selectivity. The selectivity is achieved by implementing cascade square loop resonator method which generated transmission zeros. Actually, transmission zeros are obtained from the coupled resonator. The bandpass filter is designed by adding an external resonator on each square of the resonator loop and a patch to the inside of the square loop resonator. The parameter performances are simulated by HFSS. The parameter performances for return loss value is 14.24 dB at frequency 1.75 GHz and insertion loss value is 0.65 dB at frequency 1.75 GHz. By using VNA Anritsu MS 2026A, prototype bandpass filter is measured. The measurement results for return loss value is 6.8 dB and insertion loss value is 2.2 dB.

Abstract A microstrip-based lowpass filter (LPF) containing modified ring structures has been presented. Ring resonators are used to form a sharp transition region. In addition, rectangular- and tapered-shaped suppressing cells are used to create an ultra-wide stopband region. By combining the designed ring resonator and suppressors, an LPF has been designed with −3 dB cut-off frequency at 1.83 GHz. A sharp transition region has been achieved from 1.83 (at −3 dB) to 2.1 GHz (at −60 dB). A stopband region has been concluded from 2 to 21 GHz (with the corresponding attenuation level of at least 20 dB). The measured insertion loss is better than 0.1 dB (equal to a return loss of 18.1 dB) in the passband region. The proposed circuit is fabricated and measured. The measured results have an appropriate adaption with the simulated results.

Abstract In this paper a new lowpass filter (LPF) with curved line resonators and fountain shaped resonators is proposed. The proposed filter has achieved wide stopband, compact size, sharp roll-off rate and low return loss. Two tapered resonators are used to produce transmission zeros and widen the stopband. Also, a fountain shaped resonator is proposed using curved transmission lines to obtain good sharpness in the filter response. The cut-off frequency of the designed LPF is 1.74 GHz and the overall size of the designed LPF is 0.135 λg × 0.132 λg where λg is the guided wavelength at the cut-off frequency. The results show that the overall size of the lowpass filter could be reduced using curved line resonators and curved transmission lines.

AbstractThis contribution presents, for the first time, the design of microwave lowpass filter with ultrawide stopband and low insertion loss based on the log-periodic zig-zag defected ground structure (DGS); the design is specifically evolved from the principle of the log-periodic line antenna and the slotline based DGS. Based on the log-periodic property, studies show that ultra-wideband suppression can be realized by increasing the flare angle or the angle subtended by each element of the slotline DGS. The developed filter therefore shows low insertion loss of 0.7 dB within the passband, sharp transition between the passband and the stopband and ultra-wide suppression band from 2.61-26.5 GHz with a 20 dB suppression level. The DGS architecture is simple and easy to realize, and the design is thus useful in many microwave applications. The fabricated prototype filter validates the study, both from simulations and from measurements.

In this paper, a low pass filter based on T-Shaped resonator is presented. The T-Shaped resonator consists of meandered lines and rectangular patches. Also, the LC model and transfer function of the proposed resonator is presented. For suppression of spurious harmonics, a bandstop structure consists of hexangular patches and open stubs has been utilized. Finally, the wide stopband microstrip lowpass filter with cutoff frequency 2.72 GHz has been simulated, fabricated and measured. The LPF has good characteristics such as wide stopband and insertion loss lower than 0.18 dB in the passband region. The rejection level is less than -20 dB from 2.98 up to 21.3 GHz. The filter size is 10.5 mm×12.7 mm, or 0.131 λ<sub>g</sub>× 0.158 λ<sub>g</sub>, where λ<sub>g</sub> is the guided wavelength. The measured and simulated results of the filter is in good agreement with each other, which show the merits of low insertion loss and wide stopband.

In this paper, a lowpass – bandpass dual band microwave filter is designed by using deep learning and artificial intelligence. The designed filter has compact size and desirable pass bands. In the proposed filter, the resonators with Z-shaped and T-shaped lines are used to design the low pass channel, while coupling lines, stepped impedance resonators and open ended stubs are utilized to design the bandpass channel. Artificial neural network (ANN) and deep learning (DL) technique has been utilized to extract the proposed filter transfer function, so the values of the transmission zeros can be located in the desired frequency. This technique can also be used for the other electrical devices. The lowpass channel cut off frequency is 1 GHz, with better than 0.2 dB insertion loss. Also, the bandpass channel main frequency is designed at 2.4 GHz with 0.5 dB insertion loss in the passband.

AbstractIn this paper, a miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter (DB-BPF) using embedded dual-mode resonator (DMR) with controllable bandwidths is proposed. Two passbands are generated by two sets of resonators operating at two different frequencies. One set of resonators is utilized not only as the resonant elements that yield the lower passband, but also as the feeding structures with source-load coupling to excite the other to produce the upper passband. Sufficient degrees of freedom are achieved to control the center frequencies and bandwidths of two passbands. Moreover, multiple transmission zeros (TZs) are created to improve the passband selectivity of the filter. The design of the filter has been demonstrated by the measurement. The filter features not only miniaturized circuit sizes, low insertion loss, independently controllable central frequencies, but also controllable bandwidths and TZs.

A novel miniaturized wideband bandpass filter (BPF) using capacitor-loaded microstrip coupled line is proposed. The capacitors are loaded in parallel and series to the coupled line, which makes the filter just require one one-eighth wavelength coupled line and achieve filtering response with multiple transmission poles (TPs) and transmission zeros (TZs). Compared with the state-of-the-art microstrip wideband BPFs, the proposed filter has the advantages of compact size and simple structure. A prototype centered at 1.47 GHz with the 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 86.5% is demonstrated, which exhibits the compact size of 0.003λ2 g (λg is the guided wavelength at the center frequency) and the minimum insertion loss of 0.37 dB.
