Compact, deep, and wide rejection bandwidth low‐pass filter using open complementary split ring resonator

Abstract

A deep and wide rejection bandwidth, sharp cutoff and compact low‐pass filter design using open complementary split ring resonator (OCSRR), and open stub is presented in this article.OCSRR is counterpart of the open split ring resonator. The proposed low‐pass filter consist of two OCSRR connected in series. The open stubs are attached on both sides of the OCSRR. At the 3 dB cutoff frequency of 1.08 GHz, the proposed filter offers a sharp rejection and wide rejection bandwidth of more than 20 dB up to six times the cutoff frequency. The filter size is very small as 0.22 λg × 0.18 λg, where λg is the guided wavelength at the cutoff frequency. The proposed filter is fabricated and tested; the experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the simulation results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Compact 1:4 Lossless T-Junction Power Divider Using Open Complementary Split Ring Resonator

“…OCSRR is a counter part of open split ring resonator (OSRR). It was first proposed by some of the authors in CPW technology [13] and mostly used in size miniaturization and performance enhancement of microwave devices [13][14][15][16]. The layout of OCSRR and its equivalent circuit is shown in Fig.…”

Grating Lobes Suppression in Frequency Selective Surfaces Using Electromagnetic Band Gap with Square Holes

“…Several techniques have been used to suppress spurious modes, such as the use of defects in the ground plane (Defected ground structure -DGS) of planar antennas [7], [8], or the use of metamaterials in microstrip filters [9], [10] and the use of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) in planar antennas [11], [12]. However, it is not known to the authors the use of these techniques for suppression or reduction grating lobes in FSS.…”

Compact low‐pass filters with deep and ultra‐wide stopband using tri‐ and quad‐mode resonators

“…For the large number of patch resonators, LPFs suffer from large sizes. Open complementary split ring resonator (OCSRR) can be applied to design LPFs [14,15]. However, two or more cells of OCSRR have to be cascaded to improve stopband performance.…”
