In this letter, pseudo-interdigital stepped impedance resonators (PI-SIRs) are used to design the bandpass filter (BPF) with dual-band response. By tuning the impedance ratio (K) and physical length of SIRs, the BPF has good dual-passband performances at 2.4/5.2 GHz and high isolation between the two passbands. It is shown that the dual-band BPF has a smaller area and lower insertion loss in comparison of previous works. Good agreement is shown between the full-wave electromagnetic simulation and the measurement.Index Terms-Bandpass filter (BPF), compact, dual-band, pseudo-interdigital (PI), stepped impedance resonator (SIR).
In this letter, a novel compact wideband bandpass filter using the asymmetric stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) with one step discontinuity is designed and implemented to achieve characteristics of low loss, wide stopband and very high passband selectivity, simultaneously. The first two resonant modes of the asymmetric SIR are coupled together and applied to create a wide passband. The design procedure is discussed in detail. The proposed filter at center frequency f 0 of 4 GHz has very good measured characteristics including a low insertion loss of 0.5 0.3 dB, the bandwidth of 2.9-5.3 GHz, sharp rejection due to two transmission zeros in the passband edge. Experimental results of the fabricated filter show a good agreement with the predict results.
Abstract-In this paper, a design of new tri-band bandpass filter for the application of GSM (1.8 GHz), WiMAX (2.7 GHz) and UWB (3.3-4.8 GHz) is proposed. The first two narrow passbands are created, and the bandwidth of the third passband can be tuned by properly selecting the impedance ratio (R) and physical length ratio (u) of the asymmetric stepped-impedance resonator. To improve passband performance and form the UWB passband, a U-shape defected ground structure and extra extended coupling lines are integrated with the asymmetric SIR. Due to the three transmission zeros appearing near the passband edges, the band selectivity of the proposed filter is much improved. The filter was fabricated, and the measured results have a good agreement with the full-wave simulated ones.
In this letter, a novel compact dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) is designed to achieve the characteristic of low insertion loss and high isolation for global position system (GPS)/wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. This BPF is implemented by properly selecting the impedance ratio (R) and physical length ratio ( ) of the asymmetric stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) with one step discontinuity. The coupling coefficient between the coupled asymmetric SIRs is calculated by using full-wave simulator IE3D. The proposed filter has very good measured characteristics including a low insertion loss of 1.1 dB for both passbands, a high isolation insertion loss of 55 dB between the two passbands and a wide stopband rejection of 38 dB from 2.7 to 5.3 GHz. Good agreement with responses of electromagnetic (EM) simulation and measurement is compared.
