In this paper, the analysis of the FSCS (frequency-selected coupling structure) as the coupling coefficient and multi-stage FSCS for enhanced bandstop bandwidth is suggested. The FSCS is composed by the connected coupled-line and open-stub. Basically, the resonance frequency of the FSCS is given by the electrical length of the stub, and the bandwidth is controlled by the coupling coefficient. Multi-stage FSCS is made by addition of another FSCS with the half electrical length. Manufactured bandstop filter using 3 stage FSCS is measured with the stopband of 177.3% and the maximum return loss of 1dB.

In this paper, we propose a wideband band-stop filter (BSF) in order to extend the stopband of the band-stop filter using a symmetric dual spurline and the coupled open stub. First, we know that the symmetric dual spurline structure is advantageous in widening the stopband, as compared to the asymmetric dual spurline structure. So we designed a band-stop filter that combines the electrically coupled open stub (ECOS) band-stop filter with a symmetric dual spurline. We can greatly extend the stopband, when it is combined with the dual spurline and electrically coupled open stub on a microstrip transmission line, without any size increment. The stopband of the proposed band-stop filter is extended by approximately 244% (rejection depth: -20 dB) compared with a band-stop filter without a dual spurline.

In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and a sharp cutoff frequency response. To improve the cutoff response of the conventional filter, the coupling effect between two open stubs is used. The slot on the ground with conventional shunt open stubs plays an important role of increasing the stopband at a high frequency. The combination of these structures gives the filter the characteristics of an ultra-wide stopband with a prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 19.2 mm $\times$ 14.9 mm has -3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.1 GHz and -20 dB stopband from 1.5 GHz to over 30 GHz. The insertion loss is less than -0.15 dB in the passband.

본 논문에서는 기존의 RF 여파기가 대역 내에서만 정합이 되는 특성을 개선하여 대역 외에서도 50$\Omega$ 정합 특성을 가지는 여파기 설계 기술을 제안하였다. 대역 외에서 정합 시켜 주는 방법으로 결합기와 대역 통과 여파기로 구성된 Balance Type과 결합기와 대역 저지 여파기로 대역 통과 여파기 특성을 가지는 Reflection Type을 제시하여 그 특성을 확인하였다. 각각의 형태는 광대역 90도 3-㏈ 결합기를 사용한 것으로 결합기의 대역폭과 진폭 및 위상 오차에 따라 저지 대역에서의 정합 특성이 좌우되며, 이에 광대역의 3-㏈ 결합기를 설계 및 적용하여 광대역의 반사 손실 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 제작 결과 Balance type의 경우 1.2 GHz~2.6GHz까지 대역 내에서 -10㏈에서 -15 ㏈의 반사 손실 특성을 가지고 대역 저지 특성이 우수하며, Reflection type은 DC에서 3.3GHz까지 반사손실이 -15 ㏈ 내외로 광대역 정합 특성을 가진다. 특히, 저주파 반사 특성이 우수하여 저주파 발진 가능성이 큰 회로 설계에 유용하다.

본 논문에서는 SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator)를 이용하여 RFID 주파수 대역의 이중대역 필터를 설계 연구하였다. 반파장 SIR을 parallel-coupled 형태로 설계하고 넓은 주파수 간격의 이중대역필터를 구현하기 위해서 2st 공진 주파수를 2.45GHz 대역에 맞추고 1st 공진 주파수를 억제하기 위해서 대역저지 필터를 결합하였다. 입출력에 대역 저지 필터를 구성하고 반파장 parallel-coulpled SIR은 미앤더 구조로 설계하여 크기를 줄였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 필터는 두 대역에서 -3.5~3.9dB의 삽입 손실을 가지며 433MHz에서 8MHz, 2.45GHz에서 21MHz의 대역폭을 나타낸다. 관심 주파수 이외의 대역에서는 -50dB 이상의 저지 특성을 가진다.

This article presents a band-stop filter (BSF) by using a periodic structure property of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) embedded in a microstrip transmission line. The proposed BSF is designed with FSS unit cells modifying the cross-loop slots. The BSF is interpreted with an equivalent circuit model and a dispersion diagram. The center frequency (fo) of the BSF is 6.6GHz. Proposed filter increases the number of unit cell. As a result, 3dB bandwidth is wider and insertion loss is reduced. Also, Facbricated BSF exhibits uniplanar geometry, simple fabrication.

A novel ultra wideband microstrip-fed circular patch antenna having band stop characteristic in UNII band is presented. The band stop characteristic is realized by inverted-U shaped slot. The range of stop bandwidth can be adjusted by changing the length of the slot. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 2.9 GHz to 12.1 GHz with the stop band from 4.9 GHz to 6 GHz for VSWR<2. This antenna shows a monopole-like radiation pattern and flat gain characteristic throughout the operating frequency band.

We have studied the design of the photonic bandgap (PBG) structure on the microstrip line that can effectively control the fractional bandwidth of the passband formed in the stopband by adding the stub in the cell of the microstrip PBG structure. As the length of the stub increases, the cutoff frequency and the center frequency of the stopband are decreased, while the bandwidth of the stopband is increased. We have also found that the fractional bandwidth of the passband formed in stopband by the introduction of defect decreases as the stub length is increased. These results mean that adding the stub in the normal PBG structure is an effective way to control the fractional bandwidth. As an application example, we have implemented a microwave duplexer using the proposed structure.

In this paper, a new method to enhance the stop bandwidth of the compact microstrip bandstop filter based on split ring resonator(SRR) was proposed. To achieve wide stop bandwidth, we incorporated the SRR within the circular etched pattern of the defected ground structure(DGS). By incorporating the SRR within the circular etched pattern, a high magnetic coupling between SRR and signal line can be achieved. The high magnetic coupling enables the proposed structure to achieve a wide stop bandwidth. To verify the feasibility of the proposed structure, the proposed bandstop filter was compared with conventional bandstop filter employing SRRs which have been etched at both sides of the signal line. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed structure provides an enhanced stop bandwidth compared with the conventional structure.

In the paper, a dual band-notched monopole antenna is proposed for 2.4 GHz WLAN (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz) and UWB (3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) applications. The 3.5 GHz WiMAX band notched characteristic is achived by a pair of L-shaped slots instead of the previous U-shaped slot on the center of the radiating patch, whereas the 7.5 GHz band notched characteristic is achived by C-shaped strip resonator placed near to the microstrip feed line. The measured impedance bandwidth (${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$) is 8.62 GHz (2.38 ~ 11 GHz) which is sufficient to cover 2.4 GHz WLAN and UWB band, while measured band-notched bandwidths for 3.5 GHz WiMAX and 7.5 GHz bnad are 1.13 GHz (3.15 ~ 4.28 GHz) and 800 MHz (7.2 ~ 8 GHz) respectively. In particular, it has been observed that antenna has a good omnidirectional radiation patterns and higher gain of 2.51 ~ 6.81 dBi over the entire frequency band of interest.
