Improved and small flat group delay low pass filters are presented. The design of these filters is based on two CPW stub topologies. The improvement of the flatness group delay is achieved by loading the stub at the appropriate positions. The straight stub filter is realised and measured, and a good agreement is observed. The second topology is based on a reshaped open circuit stub. The optimized structures are well matched beyond the cutoff frequency with a flat group delay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
