In this paper, the narrow band-pass filter with compact-size using the ${\lambda}g/2$ open stubs is proposed. The filter size is reduced by realization of transmission line at second harmonics and at the same time the power can be transferred to the output by using the fundamental wave generated in the resonator and the transmission line in which the impedance mismatch technique is adopted. Thus, the proposed filter can be reduced to half-length of horizontal transmission line than the conventional one. The experimental results show that insertion loss is 1.58 dB and return loss is 9.86 dB, and the fractional bandwidth is 10 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz. The filter size is $10.34{\times}18.56\;mm2$.

In this paper, a new type of 5-pole low pass filter(LPF) having defected ground structure(DGS) and very wide transmission line elements is proposed. The previously presented design method of 3-stage LPF using DGS is generalized to design N-pole LPFs for $N\geq5$. As an example, a 5-pole LPF having DGS is designed and measured. The accurate curve-fitting method to determine the series inductors in the prototype filter, and ultimately the size of DGS is described. The proposed 5-pole LPF has transmission line elements with a very low impedance to realize the required shunt capacitance instead of open stubs. Therefore, open stub. Therefore, open stub, Tee-junction, Cross-junction, and high impedance line are not required for the proposed LPF, while they all have been essential in conventional LPFs.

In this paper, the split-ring DGS resonator is proposed and its equivalent circuit are analyzed to design the low pass filter. Compared with the conventional dumbell DGS cell, this structure has a flat fluctuation in low frequency range and a sharp slop at edge frequency. The out-band suppression of the SRR-DGS cell can be improved by placing the open stubs on the conductor line which operates as parallel capacitances. Making use of equivalent circuit analytical method, the characteristics of the improved SRR DGS cell are investigated and applied to design compact low pass filter, which has a low in-band loss, sharp slop and high suppression of more than 35dB within a wide out-band frequency range. The dependence of the transmission characteristic on the dimension of a split ring, such as side-length and split-gap, is analyzed in detail. In addition, an improved SRR DGS cell model with open stubs loaded on the conductor line is then presented to improve the out-band suppression. By using the equivalent-circuit analytical method, an S-band microstrip low-pass filter with perfect low-pass characteristic and high out-band suppression is designed and fabricated.

In this paper, the equivalent circuit of tapped-line that is applied in the feeding of the band-pass filter with high coupling is suggested and the value of an equivalent circuit is mathematically defined. An equivalent circuit of tapped-line is composed by open stub and additional transmission line, and the electrical lengths of stub and line can be obtained by the impedance of resonator and the inverter. The new equivalent circuit of tapped-line can be simply applied of design of band-pass filter and leads to very good agreement compared with theoretical value. The coupled-line band-pass filter using equivalent circuit of tapped-line shows the insertion loss of 1.97 dB and the return loss of 18.5 dB at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, microstrip low pass filter using transmission line with the modified DCRLH structure is designed and fabricated to be removed a spurious resonant mode, and a deep attenuation in stop band. The low pass filter is composed of shunt open-stub to get a deep attenuation and series short-stub to eliminate the spurious harmonics in stop band. In this way, the spurious harmonics occurring on the higher order frequency are suppressed and the filter performance is improved. Insertion loss and VSWR of the fabricated microstrip low pass filter in the passband from DC to 1.5 GHz is 1.26 dB and 1.65, and attenuation on the stopband from 1.84 GHz to 2.18 GHz is less than -100 dB. And also this filter has a good performance for 20 watt power test.

In this paper, single, two, and three-section microstrip directional couplers are implemented for realizing the high directivity characteristics. The achievement of the high directivity with microstrip configuration is carried out by the distributed capacitor to decrease the even and odd mode phase difference. Capacitive compensation is performed by gap coupling of open stub formed in sub-coupled line. Therefore, insertion loss and power handling capability are not affected by the gap coupling. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate and incorporate another microwave device due to the planner microstrip. We designed and fabricated single, two, and three-section directional coupler with 20 ㏈ coupling. In spite of microstrip structure, the capacitive compensation structure shows 30 ㏈, 27 ㏈, and 25 ㏈ of directivity in single, two, and three-section directional couplers, respectively.

Ship's wireless LAN was in the limelight as equipment of ease, cost reduction, various func tion al i ty. In the paper, a dual-bandpass filter for wireless LAN has proposed, which was designed by using dual-mode square loop resonator with square patch in compliance with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band of wireless LAN. The dual-bandpass filter could be designed by adjusting sizes of one perturbation element and three of reference elements in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, Furthermore, new dual-bandpass filter was also designed by adjusting stopband of using open stubs in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The measured results for the fabricated dual-bandpass filters agreed well with the simulated ones, and hence, it was confirmed that the proposed design method is valid.

This paper proposes a tri-band bandpass filter using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with open stubs and parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have inter-digital and comb-line shorted ends. Two U-shaped SIRs with open stubs build the first and third passband, and the central PCL resonators build the second passband. Five resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive the scattering parameters of the proposed filter. A novel tri-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering parameters. The measured result of the fabricated tri-band bandpass filter shows a good agreement with the simulated one.

It was shown that the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna is wider than many of the conventional feeding structures. In this paper, we proposed a new method of enhancing the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna with a shunt open stub, and analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method. We have computed waves and electric field distribution in the time domain, and VSWR, input impedance and radiation pattern in the frequency domaim by Fourier transforming the time domain results. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna depend on the position(L$_1$) and length(L$_2$) of a shunt open stub. When these parameters are L$_1$=30 mm and L$_2$=33mm, we obtained the maximum bandwidth at the center frequency of 2.3 GHz. From the computed results, the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. The fractional bandwidth of this antenna was 53.9 %. The measured results were in relatively good accordance with computed values.

This article introduces a novel ultra wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with sharp roll-off characteristics in stripline structure. The UWB characteristic is basically obtained from capacitive coupled cross resonator. The resonator has ${\lambda}/2$ length. And at the center of the resonator, two stubs are loaded, one is a ${\lambda}/8$ short-circuited stub and the other is a ${\lambda}/8$ open-circuited stub. The two stubs provide two attenuation poles at lower and upper cutoff frequencies. For input and output lines, two identical capacitively coupled lines have been installed to suppress the unwanted signals in the lower and upper stopbands. The filter has been designed for the U.S. UWB band(3.1~10.6 GHz) with two transmission zeros at 2.4 and 11.1 GHz. The filter has been realized with Low Temperature Core-fired Ceramic(LTCC) green tape which has the dielectric constant of 7.8. Measurement results agree well with HFSS simulation results. Insertion loss less than 0.7 dB and return loss better than 14 dB in the pass band have been measured. The group delay in the center frequency is 0.27 ns and the group delay variation within pass band is less than 0.5 ns. The size of the filter is $6{\times}18{\times}0.6\;mm^3$.
