Kinds of Bandpass Filter Terms modified by Bandpass Filter Selected Abstracts32-GHz dual-termination coupled CPW bandpass filter on HR-SIMICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 6 2008Xi Li Abstract Bandpass filter is an important device in portable communication and other RF systems. A dual-termination coupled coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF) has been designed by HFSS. This dual-termination coupled structure improves the coupling capacitances between the central metal and the matching transmission lines so that the insertion loss can be reduced. The filter has been fabricated on a high resistivity silicon substrate (, , 1000 , cm) with 1 ,m SiO2. It has ,2.16-dB low insertion loss at peak transmission of about 32 GHz. This filter shows good s-parameter characteristics and it is attractive for RF ICs. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The operating current and temperature of the LED were optimized in order to achieve high luminescence power. It was found that a forward current of 30,mA and a temperature of approximately 5°C gave the best S/N. By using a set of two ball lenses to focus light from the LED, we achieved a spot of approximately 200,,m with a power of 0.1,0.2,mW on the detection window. Fluorescence was collected with a ball lens at 90° angle through a bandpass filter onto a photomultiplier tube. In CZE an LOD of 20,nM for conalbumin was reached. In capillary gel electrophoresis all eight proteins from a commercial standard kit were detected with high S/N. For a 10,,g/mL total protein mixture, S/N was better than 3 for all proteins in solution. Further improvement in LOD should be possible on utilization of an LED with higher luminescence power. [source] Realization of log-domain high-order transfer functions using first-order building blocks and complementary operatorsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CIRCUIT THEORY AND APPLICATIONS, Issue 1 2007Costas Psychalinos Abstract High-order log-domain filters could be easily designed by using the functional block diagram (FBD) representation of the corresponding linear prototype and a set of complementary operators. For this purpose, lossy and lossless integrator blocks have been already introduced in the literature. Novel first-order log-domain highpass and allpass filter configurations, which are fully compatible with the already published integrator blocks, are introduced in this paper. These are realized using integration and subtraction blocks or a novel differentiation configuration. As a result, a complete set of first-order building blocks would be available for synthesizing any arbitrary high-order transfer function. In order to verify the correct operation of the proposed structures, the performance of the introduced highpass filters was evaluated through simulation results. In addition, a fifth-order log-domain bandpass filter was designed and simulated using one of the introduced first-order highpass filter configurations. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] A bandpass filter with adjustable bandwidth and predictable transmission zerosINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, Issue 2 2010Li Zhu Abstract In this article, a microstrip bandpass filter with an adjustable bandwidth and predictable transmission zeros is proposed. The proposed filter is implemented by combining two hairpin edge-coupled resonators with interdigital capacitors. Compared to typical edge-coupled filters, the proposed filter provides a wider bandwidth resulting from a higher coupling strength between its resonators. To further increase the coupling and consequently the bandwidth, a pair of etched slots in the ground plane is used. By adjusting the geometrical parameters of the interdigital capacitors and etched slots, the bandwidth can be easily adjusted. The filter features two transmission zeros, which are determined by means of the semi-analytical model developed as part of this work. Furthermore, the proposed filters can be cascaded to obtain a sharper cutoff frequency response. Frequency responses of the filters from measurements are in good agreement with those simulated using IE3D in the 5,9 GHz range. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2010. [source] Microstrip 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.

The amplifier structure exploits the characteristics of C/L-band coupler to isolate between lasing modes and L-band signal. The self-lasing cavity modes are obtained without any tunable bandpass filter in the loop and generated from the amplified spontaneous emission in the C-band region. The amplifier configuration has lower noise figures as opposed to a dual-stage partially gain-clamped amplifier. The gain and noise figure fluctuations are less than ±0.4 dB in the gainclamping region. The transient analysis confirms that the maximum power excursion is less than 0.3 dB for 10-dB add/drop.

The filter is designed according to a circuit model for an optimum short-circuited stub transmission-line filter and consists of 10 shunt short-circuited stubs separated by connecting lines. The short-circuited stubs are quarter-wavelength long, and the connecting lines are half-wavelength long. The filter is realized on two 3-inch YBCO/LaAlO3 substrates, which are connected by two bonding wires. The short-circuited stubs are grounded via two grounding pads that are attached to the box wall by a number of SiAl bonding wires. The measured results exhibit a selective filtering characteristic equivalent to a 19-pole Chebyshev filter and a low insertion loss of less than 0.1 dB at center frequency without tuning. Furthermore, the experimental results of the filter are in good agreement with the simulated ones. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The measurement results show that the divider's free-running frequency were from 6.47 to 9.54 GHz (32.2%) with 3 V supply voltage. With an incident power of 0 dBm, the locking range is 3.07 GHz from the incident frequency 16.41 to 19.45 GHz (15.6%). The measured phase noise of free running VCO is ,92.2 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency at 9.45 GHz and this value of the locked ILFD is ,128.4 dBc/Hz, which is 36.2 dB lower than the free running VCO.

Firstly, a UWB filter consisting of a stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and two shunt short-circuited stubs is synthesized. Then, a narrow controllable notched band is introduced by a coupled external SIR. To be highlighted as an attractive advantage, as the characteristics of the UWB filter are not deteriorated by the placement of the external resonator, no further adjustments is needed for the synthesized UWB filter in this design. As an example, an (Federal Communications Commission) FCC UWB filter with a WLAN notch band is designed, simulated, and fabricated. A good agreement between the measured results and predicted ones validates the newly proposed design scheme and the filter prototype. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The proposed filter architecture has the following feature: the low-frequency transmission-zero and the high-frequency transmission-zero can be tuned by the series-feedback capacitor Cs and the parallel-feedback capacitor Cp, respectively. Besides, low-insertion-loss is achieved by adopting thick microstrip-line (MSL) with optimized ground-plane pattern as the needed inductors to minimize the metal and substrate loss. This filter achieved insertion-loss (1/S21) lower than 3 dB over the frequency range of 52.2,76.7 GHz, input return loss (S11) better than ,10 dB over the frequency range of 50.2,80.6 GHz, and output return loss (S22) better than ,10 dB over the frequency range of 50.2,77.3 GHz. The minimum insertion-loss was 2.18 dB at 63.5 GHz, an excellent result for a V-band CMOS bandpass filter.

A slotline resonator with a length of three-quarter wavelength at central frequency is etched on the ground, while a pair of radial stubs is centrally introduced. Two microstrip open stubs are then placed above the slotline resonator, saying, on the top plane of the dielectric substrate. By properly adjusting the lengths of the microstrip stubs, a wideband passband filter is thus implemented using coupling between 50-, microstrip (on the top plane) and the slotline (on the bottom). A prototype is fabricated to validate the proposed design strategies. The experiments and simulations both indicate good performances. The measured fractional bandwidth of prototype is about 89%, the return loss is less than ,15 dB in the whole passband. In addition, the measured rejection bandwidth at ,25 dB is even higher up to 10 GHz, thus, demonstrating a very good harmonic suppression ability. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A dual-mode square ring resonator loaded with two 5,0/4 (,0 is the center wavelength of the filter) folded stubs is introduced to realize a 3 dB passband bandwidth of about 15%. Because of the transmission zeros produced by the dual-mode ring resonator in the stopbands, the proposed filter exhibits sharp attenuations near the passband. On the other hand, a parallel-coupled two-mode resonator is introduced and integrated with the dual-mode ring resonator to get a further improvement of the out-band performance with wide stopbands. The fabricated filter has an insertion loss better than 2 dB in the passband and rejections greater than 20 dB at most of the frequencies in the stopbands. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
