In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using slot on the ground plane and microstrip shunt open stub. The microstrip shunt open stub and slot exhibit the different stopband response. The combined characteristics of these structures gives the ultra-wide stopband characteristics and the coupling effect between slots on the ground plane makes the prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 20.1 mm ${\times}$ 18.7 mm has -3 ㏈ cutoff frequency at 1.187 ㎓ and -20 ㏈ stopband from 1.33 ㎓ to over 20 ㎓ and the insertion loss in the passband is less than -0.4 ㏈ form DC to 1 ㎓.

In this paper, a high power active tunable bandpass filter made of dielectric resonators and varactor diodes is designed using the active capacitance circuit generating negative resistance for tuning cellular TX, RX band. An active capacitance circuit's series feedback circuit using GaAs HFET whose $P_{1dB}$ is 32 dBm is used for compensating the losses from the varactor diodes of the tunable bandpass filter. The tuning elements, the varactor diodes are used as the back-to-back configuration to achieve the high power performance, The designed active capacitance circuit improves the insertion loss characteristics. The designed 2-stage active tunable dielectric bandpass filter at cellular band can cover from 800 MHz to 900 MHz. The insertion losses at 836 MHz and 881.5 MHz with 25 MHz bandwidth are 0.48 dB and 0.39 dB, respectively. The $P_{1dB}$ of the designed bandpass filter at TX and RX band are measured as 19.5 dBm and 23 dBm, respectively.

In this paper, a bandpass filter with excellent cut off characteristic due to transmission zero using bypass coupling capacitor and with superior harmonic characteristic by interdigital capacitor is suggested. The measurement results for SIR bandpass filter with bypass coupling capacitor and interdigital capacitor show that the insertion loss is less than 1.9 dB and the return loss is better than 15.4 dB with 4.2 % bandwidth at the center frequency of 5.78 GHz.

In this paper, the method of design of the waveguide band-pass filter and limiter in radar system is proposed. First, we design a self-resonant iris, which can behave as a band-pass filter by mounting the PIN diode on the iris. When low power microwave is incident on the proposed element, the element behaves as a band-pass filter. Under a high power microwave condition, however, the element behaves as a limiter having wide band stop characteristics. The fabricated element has a pass band with -0.7 dB insertion loss at 10 GHz under the low power condition and isolation about 25 dB under the high power condition.

In this paper, a new hairpin type strip-line BPF(Band Pass Filter) improving the suppression performance of unwanted frequency signal is studied. A modified hairpin filter is designed by classical hairpin filter design methodology and is realized by newly placing structure of designed filter. And a newly formed coupled-line effects between modified bilateral symmetry structures make the transmission zeros. Each transmission zeros can shift its frequency to wanted frequency by tuning a certain part of filter. To investigate the validity of this novel technique, an order-5 Chebyshev BPF centered at 9.2 GHz with a 15 % FBW(fractional bandwidth) were used. According to design and measurement results, a good performance of insertion loss of 0.8 dB and unwanted signal suppression of maximum 50 dB is achieved at full input/output ports.

A novel miniaturized 2-pole band pass filter(BPF) is proposed and it has an overlapped hairpin and slot structure on the upper and bottom plane of microstrip lines. Due to the overlapped structure of a hairpin and a slot, the size of the proposed BPF is quite smaller than that of a general BPF having coupled lines. The size of the proposed BPF is reduced to 33 % comparing with the conventional λ/4 coupled BPF. The attenuation is improved by controlling the attenuation poles properly using the proposed structure. The proposed 2-pole BPF is fabricated with a narrow bandwidth(69 ㎒) at center frequency, 1.9 ㎓ which is difficult to make that narrow bandwidth in the conventional coupled lines due to impractical spacing. The design method in this paper can be applied to the design of other microwave circuits to reduce the size and improve the performances.

This paper proposes the design method based on the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) structure to miniaturize and enhance the rejection performance in the stopband. For realization, we used the 0-th order resonance point of the unbalanced case of the CRLH and the simple theory of Inverter. The proposed technique is validated by the performance predictions and experiments, and it is found out that the suggested method enables the sire reduction of over 65 % from the conventional filters such as the parallel coupled type.
