Монолитный Миниатюрный Полосно-Пропускающий Фильтр На Многопроводниковых Полосковых Резонаторах

Abstract

A new monolithic design of a miniature bandpass filter has been developed for the multilayer PCB technology fabrication. The use of multi-conductor stripline resonators in the design provides not only miniaturization, but also high selectivity of the device, which is demonstrated on a prototype filter of the fourth order. The center frequency of the passband of the manufactured filter is f0 = 546 MHz, the fractional bandwidth is Δf / f0 = 25%, the insertion loss is 0.8 dB. The filter has an extended high-frequency stop band, which at a level of ‒30 dB extends up to a frequency of 10f0. The dimensions of the filter are 15.0×12.0×4.3 mm3 (0.027λ0×0.021λ0 ×0.007λ0, where λ0 is the wavelength in vacuum at the frequency f0), and its mass is only 1.8 g. The filter's characteristics and ease of construction for surface mounting prove its high prospects.
