Compact and low‐insertion‐loss dual‐mode patch filter with spur‐lines

Abstract

A compact microstrip dual‐mode bandpass filter with inserted spur‐lines at the edge of the patch is proposed. In order to obtain a low insertion loss, the proposed filter has no coupling gaps. Also, it has a size reduction of about 45% at the same resonant frequency as compared conventional dual‐mode bandpass filters. Feed lines with offset are applied to ensure a minimal mismatch. From the measured results, the dual‐mode filter has a 0.58‐dB insertion loss at 1.27 GHz with 12% bandwidth. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fractal‐shaped microstrip dual‐mode bandpass filter with asymmetrical sinuous spurlines

“…The periodic space of the sinuous spurlines is defined by S. Compared to straight spurline in Ref. [9], sinuous spurline provides more slow-wave effect so that size reduction is realized. In addition, the low-insertion-loss performance is obtained by removing coupling gaps from I/O port.…”

“…However, the conventional patch resonators suffer from their large size. To reduce the circuit size, compact dual-mode bandpass filters with spurlines etched on patch resonator have been presented [9].…”

Novel dual‐mode square patch bandpass filter using slot‐type SRR perturbation for mode splitting

“…Generally, the dual-mode operation consists of two degenerate modes, which are excited by some perturbation elements [1][2][3][4][5], such as asymmetrical feed lines, added notches, or slots on the patch resonators. Also, the coupling characteristics between the two degenerate modes can be adjusted by those added notches and slots.…”

“…ENZ metamaterials at microwave frequencies consist of metalodielectric structures in which the phase constant b of the propagating wave becomes zero at a particular frequency [1,2]. This phenomenon, also known as supercoupling or tunneling, has caught much attention for microwave circuits due to the unique properties it provides [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Several ways have been previously proposed to achieve b¼0 behavior.…”

Low‐loss triangular‐patch dual‐mode bandpass filter with slotted input/output

“…To improve the selectivity and efficiency of spectrum utilization, dual-mode microstrip bandpass filters using patch resonators are popularly used in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. To realize the dual-mode operation, etching perturbations on the surface of the patch resonators and the use of orthogonal feed lines are adopted widely in the aforementioned filters.…”
