A new boron nitride polymorph, P213 BN (space group: P213), is investigated by first-principles calculations, including its structural properties, stability, elastic properties, anisotropy and electronic properties. It is found that the new boron nitride polymorph P213 BN is mechanically, dynamically and thermodynamically stable. The bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G) and Young’s modulus of P213 BN are 91 GPa, 41 GPa and 107 GPa, respectively, all of which are larger than that of Y carbon and TY carbon. By comparing with c-BN, the Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio of P213 BN show tiny anisotropy in the (001), (010), (100) and (111) planes. At the same time, in contrast with most boron nitride polymorphs, P213 BN is a semiconductor material with a smaller band gap of 1.826 eV. The Debye temperature and the anisotropic sound velocities of P213 BN are also investigated in this work.

In this paper, a wideband bandpass filter with a coupled line cross-shaped resonator (CLCSR) is proposed. The proposed bandpass filter is composed of two open-end parallel coupled lines, one short-end parallel coupled line, one branch microstrip line, and the parallel coupled line feed structure. With the use of the even and odd mode approach, the transmission zeros and transmission poles of the proposed bandpass filter are analyzed. The coupling coefficient of the parallel coupled line feed structure is big, so the distance between the parallel coupled line is too small to be processed. A three microstirp lines coupled structure is used to realize strong coupling and cross coupling. This structure also can reduce the return loss in passband and increase the out-of-band rejection. The transmission zeros can be adjusted easily by varying the lengths of the open-end parallel coupled line or the short-end parallel coupled line. The proposed bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. The simulated results agree well with the measured ones, which shows that the design method is valid.
