Abstract
In this paper, a new parallel-coupled-line microstrip BPF(BandPass Filter) improving the suppression performance of 2nd harmonic signals is studied. Using the consecutive pattern in coupled-line, the desired passband performance is improved and harmonic passband signal is rejected. Recalculation of classical filter design parameters(space-gap between lines, line widths and lengths) is not required. That is, after using the classical design methodology for parellel-coupled-line BPF, new filters can be easily realized by inserting periodic patterns in coupled-line. To investigate the validity of this novel technique, order-3 Butterworth BPF centered at 2.5 GHz with a 10 % FBW(Fractional Bandwidth) and order-5 Chebyshev BPF centered at 10 GHz with a 15 % FBW were used. When five and three square grooves are used, over 30 dB harmonic suppression at 2nd harmonic is achieved in simulation and experiment.
