New microstrip fractal‐shaped triangular patch resonators filters

Abstract

Two types of bandpass filters using fractal‐shaped triangular resonators are proposed and optimized in this article. By using etched fractal‐shaped defected structures in the triangular patch resonators, the filters have remarkable advantages, such as compact size, high selectivity, and simple structure. The effects of varying the parameters of the fractal‐shaped structures have been studied. Measured results of the filter using three fractal‐shaped structures agree well with the simulated ones. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Compact wide‐band millimeter‐wave LTCC filter using trapezoidal resonator with fractal‐shaped defection

“…The proposed filters allow 3-D integration of millimeter-wave radio that can result in significant size reduction and low-loss connection to the millimeter wave circuits. Additionally, a broad-band quasi-Yagi antenna achieving a measured 48% bandwidth is presented in [3] for active arrays and millimeter-wave imaging arrays. The 3-dB bandwidth is 26.3% at a center frequency of 34.7 GHz.…”

“…Trapezoidal resonator can be seen as a dual-mode one for it is the isosceles triangular resonator with a top triangle cut, and the cut brings a pair of degenerate mode splitting [3]. If more perturbation such as a fractal shaped defection is introduced, more splitting occurs and that will bring a wider passband.…”

Novel dual‐mode patch band‐pass filters with slit structures

“…Dual‐mode microstrip resonators and filters have attractive features, such as low cost, easy fabrication, compact size, and high selectivity. Some dual‐mode filters have been proposed to reduce the circuit size [5–8]. Now, some reports have proposed that square patch resonator and circle patch resonator are used to design microstrip filters.…”

New microstrip fractal‐shaped square patch resonators filters

“…Dualmode microstrip resonators and filters have many advantages, such as low cost, easy fabrication, compact size, and high selectivity. Some slots have been proposed to reduce the circuit size [4][5][6][7]. Now, some reports have proposed that the fractal-based geometries can enhance the transmission energies [8,9] and thus could be used to design antennas or filters.…”

“…The printed dipole antenna is well known for its characteristics such as low weight, ease of fabrication and offers relatively wide bandwidths, omnidirectional pattern and a high-polarization purity [1,2]. Many planar printed dipole antennas have been widely studied [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] for radio-frequency identification (RFID) application. The rectangular radiator composed of a 4th-iteration fractal slot, with a pair of 24.7 mm meander patch designed next to the feed line of the antenna.…”
