Compact superconducting single-and dual-band filter design using multimode stepped-impedance resonator

This study presents two multimode stepped-impedance structures to design single-and dual-band filters. Transmission zeroes are introduced for the single-band filter by using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators. The single-band filter with high selectivity is centered at 6.02 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth(FBW) of 25.6%. Four stubs(two low frequency and two high frequency ones) are connected to the rectangular patch in the center to construct a quadruplemode resonator. The independent conditions of the center frequencies of the high and low bands of the resonator are analyzed. A dual-band filter, which operates at 1.53 GHz and 2.44 GHz with FWBs of 12.1% and 14.1%, respectively is designed. The single-and dual-band filters are both fabricated with double-sided YBCO films and they can be used in mobile and satellite communications.     

Spoof surface plasmon-based bandpass filter with extremely wide upper stopband

We investigate the guiding modes of spoof surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) on a symmetric ultra-thin plasmonic structure. From the analysis, we deduce the operating frequency region of the single-mode propagation. Based on this property, a spoof SPPs lowpass filter is then constituted in the microwave frequency. By introducing a transmission zero at the lower frequency band using a pair of stepped-impedance stubs, a wide passband filter is further realized. The proposed filter is fed by a transducer composed of a microstrip line with a flaring ground. The simulated results show that the presented filter has an extremely wide upper stopband in addition to excellent passband filtering characteristics such as low loss, wide band, and high square ratio. A prototype passband filter is also fabricated to validate the predicted performances.The proposed spoof-SPPs filter is believed to be very promising for other surface waveguide components in microwave and terahertz bands.     

A New Type of Miniature Ultra-Wideband Band-Pass Filter with Coplanar Waveguide Fed

A novel miniature ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed is proposed. The size of the filter is reduced largely because of combining the wideband couple gap and parallel-coupled CPW line (not cascading multiple resonator), and the length of realized filter is only 0.42 λ _g0 (λ _g0 is the guiding wavelength at central frequency). The measured insertion loss is less than 2.0 dB, and the group delay variation is less than 0.2 ns within the UWB passband. Basic agreement between the simulated and measured results has been achieved.

An ultra-narrow band eight-pole dual-mode HTS patch filter

An ultra-narrow band eight-pole dual-mode HTS patch filter was designed and fabricated. The filter is constructed by four corner-cut square patches, each of which has two resonating modes. The influence of the change of the corner-cut position on the filter response was investigated by simulations. Four small rectangle patches were added in the topology of the filter as tuning tools. By employing this unique tuning structure, the simulated filter responses and current density distributions on the patches have been greatly improved. The filter was fabricated using double sided YBCO films on a 3 in. LaAlO₃ substrate.

A three-mode microstrip resonator and a miniature ultra-wideband filter based on it

An original microstrip resonator design with a strip conductor split by a slot at one of its ends is investigated. It is demonstrated that at the optimal slot sizes, when the eigenfrequency of the second oscillation mode hits the center between the first and third oscillation modes, the resonator can work as a thirdorder bandpass filter. The structure formed from only two such resonators electromagnetically coupled by split conductor sections is a miniature six-order wideband filter with high selectivity. The test prototype of the filter with a central passband frequency of ~1.2 GHz and a passband width of ~0.75 GHz fabricated on a substrate ~(45 × 11 × 1) mm³ in size with a permittivity of 80 is characterized by minimum loss in a passband of 0.5 dB. The parametric synthesis of the filter structure was performed using electrodynamic analysis of the 3D model. The measured characteristics of the test prototype agree well with the calculated data.
