A novel miniature dual‐band bandpass filter based on the first and second resonances for 2.4/5.2 GHz WLAN application

Abstract

In this article, a dual‐band narrow bandpass filter using U‐shaped stepped‐impedance resonator (SIR) for 2.4/5.2 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) application is proposed. The filter is composed of a simple U‐shaped SIR and novel feedlines with two open stubs. Furthermore, this article relatively used the first and second resonances to achieve the dual‐band performance. To validate the design and analysis, a prototype filter has been fabricated with two passbands are centered at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 4.9 and 3.5%, respectively. Its excellent selectivity is suitable for WLAN application. The measurement performances show good agreements with the simulated ones. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quasi‐elliptical band‐pass filters based on compact spiral resonators for C‐band applications

“…To cope with the coexistence of many different protocols there are two solutions: active ones, such as leakage cancellers, and passive ones, such as electronic bandagap, or sharp roll‐off filters …”

“…2 To cope with the coexistence of many different protocols there are two solutions: active ones, such as leakage cancellers, [3][4][5] and passive ones, such as electronic bandagap, 6,7 or sharp roll-off filters. [8][9][10] To address this problem, in this article we present a compact and uniplanar structure based on a disc resonator in microstrip technology. A pair of Archimedean spirals is etched inside the disc.…”

Tunable compact microstrip dual‐band bandpass filter with tapered resonators

“…Compact size, low insertion loss, high attenuation level in the stopband, and sharp roll‐off are the noticeable factors of BPFs designing . Over the last few years, many resonators and filter configurations have been introduced to design high performance BPFs . For example, using ring resonators, different bandpass filters have been designed in Refs.…”

“…Although, these structures have improved the stopband bandwidth, the etched ground of the DGS causes radiation problems and their total sizes are large (considering two layers). There are also a variety of other techniques such as dual‐band resonant junction and λ/2 resonators, U‐shaped stepped‐impedance resonators, single quadruple‐mode resonators, and T‐shaped resonators . In another paper, cross‐shaped coupled lines, half‐circle‐shaped stubs, and stepped‐impedance stub have been combined to reach an ultra‐wideband BPF.…”

An asymmetrical dual band bandpass filter

“…Conventional approaches to the realization of DBBP filters make use of a variety of structures, such as comblines , signal interference , C‐sections , spurlines , and separate signal paths . An extensive class of structures make use of coupled stepped impedance resonators or coupled lines , multimode resonators or various stepped stubs or stepped impedance resonators .…”
