A Compact Coplanar Waveguide (CPW)-Fed Zeroth-Order Resonant Filter for Bandpass Applications

Abstract

A new CPW-fed bandpass filter based on zeroth order resonant (ZOR) technique is presented in this paper. Proposed filter structure is designed on a CPW single layer where via is not required, hence reduces fabrication complexity. The property of metamaterial of ZOR has been utilized to reduce the filter size. The proposed structure is symmetrically CPW-fed and contains tuning-fork stub, which connects patch to CPW ground plane. The metamaterial properties are characterized by plotting dispersion diagram of proposed structure. The experimental result of proposed filter design shows an insertion loss of 0.51 dB, return loss of 22.5 dB with fractional bandwidth 61.5 % at centre frequency 2.60 GHz. The size of the filter is 0.45 λg×0.36 λg (λg is the guided wavelength at centre frequency).

Compact D-CRLH Structure for Filtering Power Divider

“…Metamaterials (MTMs) are purposely engineered electromagnetic homogeneous structures, having their size substantially smaller than guided wavelength (λ g ). They offer some unusual and advantageous things corresponding to negative index of refraction, negative value of permittivity, negative value of permeability, and zero propagation constant [1,2]. Transmission line approach of MTM utilizes composite right/left handed (CRLH) or dual composite right-left handed (D-CRLH) structure.…”

A compact reconfigurable bandpass/lowpass filter with independent transmission zeros based on generalized NRI metamaterial

“…Filters based on NRI‐MTM offer unusual properties such as NRI, zero propagation constant, and antiparallel phase and group velocities . Single/multipole MTM‐based bandpass filters have been designed using via and different capacitive and inductive loads . Using coupled CRLH transmission line (TL), very sharp filters and wide band bandpass filter with TZs were proposed.…”
