This paper presents a tunable bandpass filter based on the varactor-loaded composite right- and left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). The proposed filter is composed of one CRLH-TL unit cell, which corresponds to the third-order bandpass filter. The tunable bandpass filter is designed using only lumped-elements. The use of lumped elements saves space and lowers the fabrication cost. The size of the proposed tunable bandpass filter is $17mm{\times}5mm$, neglecting the feed lines and DC lines. All of the varactors are controlled by one DC bias. The center frequency of the bandpass filter can be controlled by varying the value of the varactors. The tunable range of the center frequency is from 412.5 to 670 MHz. The insertion loss is less than 3 dB, the return loss is more than 10 dB in the passband.

The fast-growing market in wireless communications has led to the development of multi-standard mobile terminals. In this paper, a frequency-tunable active RC bandpass filter for multi-standards wireless communication system is designed using an active inductor. The conventional bandpass filter design methods employ the high order filter or high quality factor Q to improve the stopband attenuation characteristics and frequency selectivity of the passband. The proposed bandpass filter based on the high Q active inductor has an improved frequency characteristics. The center frequency and gain of the designed bandpass filter is tuned by employing the tuning circuit. We have performed the simulation using TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ process parameter to analyze the characteristics of the designed active RC bandpass filter. The bandpass filter with Q=20.5 has 90MHz half power bandwidth at the center frequency of 1.86GHz. Moreover, the center frequency of the proposed bandpass filter can be tuned between 1.86~2.38GHz for the multi-standards wireless communication system using the capacitor of the tuning circuit.

The coplanar waveguide bandpass filter using folded-line stepped-impedance resonators(SIRs) is proposed. The folded-line SIR has about λ/8 length using the short-circuited end on coplanar waveguide. It make that the bandpass filter has the half size in comparison with general λ/4 SIR filter. In this paper, we derive the equivalent circuit and design the bandpass filter by using that. We design and fabricate the bandpass filter which has 5 GHz center frequency and 3 % fractional bandwidth. The measurement results fur 4-pole folded SIR bandpass filter agreed well with full-wave simulation and equivalent circuit results. The fabricated bandpass filter has a good spurious characteristic, which the harmonic frequency appeared at 2.5f$\_$0/). The proposed folded-line SIR bandpass filter are applicable for MMIC and High-Tc superconducting filters. bandwidth.

A new design approach for realising low-power low-voltage high-Q high-order RE bandpass filter is proposed. Based on the gyrator-C inductor topology, a 2$\^$nd/-order biquadratic bandpass filter can be realised by adding a series capacitor to the input port of the gyrator. High-Q 2$\^$nd/-order and 4$\^$th/-order fully differential RF bandpass filters operating in the 2.4-㎓ ISM (Industrial, scientific and medical) frequency band under a 2-V single power supply voltage with low power dissipation are reported.

In this paper a four-pole elliptic function bandpass filter is designed with two ground slots. A research of microstrip bandpass filters (BPF) using defected ground structures (DGS) is presented. DGS technique allows designs of tight couplings without the necessity of using very narrow coupling gaps. The simulator Sonnet is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficient of the basic coupling structure. Compared to similar microstrip filters without defected ground structure, the simulated performances of these novel structures indicate some technological advantages.

In this thesis, a λ/4 hair-pin resonator is proposed to reduce the size of resonators. A LTCC MLC bandpass filter is designed using the λ/4 hair-pin resonators. The electromagnetic coupling structure between two planar resonators is analysed. The equivalent circuit is derived to explain the behavior of the LTCC MLC bandpass filter using λ/4 hair-pin resonators. A design procedure is also described. The simulated and measured results of 2-pole bandpass filter are presented.

본 논문에서 5.8GHz의 주파수 대역에서 사용할 수 있는 향상된 커플링 구조와 크기를 줄인 dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter를 설계하였다. 여기서 meander loop resonator를 쓰는 이유는 크기가 작고 방사 손실이 적으며 패턴이 간단하기 때문이다. 또한 이와 비슷한 특성을 갖는 ring, square patch, disk등은 불연속 성분을 가짐으로써 이중모드의 구현이 가능하다. 향상된 형태의 dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter의 변형된 T-shaped meander loop resonator를 소형으로 발전되고. 높은 선택도를 가지는 구조이다. 이 형태의 filter에서 150MHz의 bandwidth을 가지고 5.8GHz주파수를 가지는 구조로 설계하였다.

A new CAD program for double E-plane bandpass filters is developed based on the variational analysis method and the passband correction method combined with the synthesis procedures. By taking the widths of three narrow waveguide equally, we can design bandpass filters with best stopband characteristics.
