Selected AbstractsMicrostrip dual-band bandpass filters using parallel-connected open-loop ring resonatorsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, Issue 3 2008Lung-Hwa Hsieh Abstract This article proposes a microstrip dual-band bandpass filter that uses parallel-connected open-loop ring resonators. Compared to many microstrip dual-band filters, the advantages of using microstrip open-loop ring resonators are easy calculation (half-guided-wavelength), easy fabrication (equal width for all 50-, lines and without grounding holes), and direct connection to external feed lines (reducing insertion loss caused by gap couplings). Another advantage of the filter is an asymmetrical feed on the ring resonator that provides sharp rejections at its adjacent bands. The input and output matches of resonators to the external feed lines are derived using a simple transmission-line theory. The results of the derivation provide a simple design rule for filter designers. Simulated and measured results are presented with good agreement. The filter has minimum insertion loss of 1.25 dB at 1.85 GHz and 1.6 dB at 2.33 GHz. The 3-dB fractional bandwidths are 5.9% for the 1.9-GHz bandpass filter and 4.7% for the 2.4-GHz bandpass filter, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2008. [source] MEMS capacitive series switch fabricated using PCB technologyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, Issue 4 2007Ramesh Ramadoss Abstract In this article, an RF MEMS capacitive series switch fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques is discussed. Design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of the CPW series switch are presented. An example CPW series capacitive switch with insertion loss less than 0.5 dB in the frequency range of 13,18 GHz and isolation better than 10 dB up to 18 GHz is discussed. The switch provides a minimum insertion loss of about 0.1 dB at the self-resonance frequency of 16 GHz and a maximum isolation of about 42 dB at 1 GHz. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Lee Abstract In this letter, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) is presented with improved upper stopband performance using six defected ground structures (DGS). The proposed BPF is composed of seven DGSs which are positioned under the input and output microstrip line and coupled double step impedance resonator (CDSIR). By using CDSIR and open loop defected ground structure (OLDGS), we can achieve UWB BPF characteristics, and by using the conventional DGSs under input and output microstrip line, we can improve upper stopband performance. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, showing a wide passband from 3.4 to 10.9 GHz, minimum insertion loss of 0.61 dB at 7.02 GHz and the group delay variation is less than 0.4 ns in the operating band while wide upper stopband with more than 30 dB attenuation up to 20 GHz. In addition, the proposed UWB BPF has a compact size. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

By using an arrow-shaped slot structure as a resonator, the resonant frequency of the proposed filter is significantly lowered, which can lead to a large filter size reduction for a fixed frequency operation. Two degenerate modes are achieved by loading with proper asymmetry, which can be placed at the corner of diagonals. A prototype of the proposed design is implemented and measured. From the measured results, the proposed filter has about 5.2% bandwidth at the center frequency of 0.97 GHz and a minimum insertion loss of 1.07 dB within passband. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Serrano Abstract This article presents a miniaturized dual-mode narrow bandpass filter using an equilateral triangular patch resonator with an inverted T-shaped slot, which exhibited a size reduction of 37% compared with a single-mode equilateral triangular patch at the same frequency. Two- and four-pole dual-mode bandpass filters were designed and fabricated with this new resonator. Experimental results with the two-pole filter centred at 7.76 GHz showed a fractional bandwidth of 4.5%, return loss better than 17.8 dB, and minimum insertion loss of 2.2 dB. The results of the four-pole filter showed a fractional bandwidth of 3.5%, return loss better than 16 dB, minimum insertion loss of 2.6 dB, and a good second harmonic band rejection. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Resonator characteristics have been examined by keeping it in the low biasing magnetic field values (from 0 to 298 Guass) applied in transverse direction of wave propagation and normal to ground plane. Tunability of 339 MHz (17%) was achieved which is the best reported so far for such a structure for low magnetic field values with a minimum insertion loss of 10.68 dB. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The BPF is composed of two folded, rectangular-shaped three-section SIRs (TSSIRs) whose first three resonant frequencies can be tuned to locate in the desired passbands. The BPF are 0° fed and the end sections of the TSSIRs are designed in an antiparallel fashion to produce zeros at appropriate frequencies for improving passband selectivity. In addition, by embedding spur lines and defected ground structures (DGS) in the BPF, extra transmission zeros around the first spurious passband are introduced to widen the upper stopband. The designed BPF is fabricated on an RT/Duroid 6010 substrate. The measured fractional bandwidths (minimum insertion losses) for the 1.57 GHz (GPS), 2.45 GHz (ISM), and 3.5 GHz (WiMAX) bands, respectively, are 11.5% (1 dB), 4.6% (2.19 dB), and 10.9% (1.3 dB), which agree well with those predicted by simulation. It also shows that for miniaturization purposes, the TSSIRs are made meandered to give an overall circuit size of only 23.29 × 10.94 mm2 for the designed BPF. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
