Abstract-A novel compact microstrip resonator based on interdigital structure is proposed. The resonator has several times higher quality factor than similar resonators presented earlier. It is shown that the size of the resonator can be significantly reduced with substantial increase in quality factor by incrementing the number of pins in the interdigital structure. A 4-pole bandpass filter with central frequency 900 MHz and an overall size 4.6 mm 10.0 mm was designed and fabricated on the base of the proposed structure. The measured upper stopband of the filter was found to be up to at the level 40 dB.Index Terms-Bandpass filter (BPF), interdigital resonator, microstrip, microstrip resonator.
where the symbol * T denotes the transpose of a matrix. To put it alternatively, the diagonal elements of [S] dictate the symmetry of the network, while the off-diagonal ones, the reciprocity of it. For the sake of completeness, we note that the passivity of the medium is determined by the negativeness of the matrix ½2r2½2r CT 2jABSTRACT: New quasi-lumped resonator bandpass filters with cross couplings are presented. Coaxial and suspended stripline structures are considered. These filters are notable for their extremely wide and deep upper stopbands at small dimensions. They also have transmission zeros near the passband that significantly improve frequency selectivity. Photographs and measured frequency responses for the four fabricated filters are presented.
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.
