This paper proposes a dual-band bandpass filter using stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have interdigital and comb-line shorted ends. The central PCLs build an upper passband and a transmission zero, and the two U-shaped SIRs build a lower passband. Four resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive its scattering parameters. A novel dual-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering characteristics. The measured results show that the fabricated dual-band bandpass filter has an insertion loss of less than 1.02 dB in the lower band of 2.45 GHz and of 3.01 dB in the upper band of 3.42 GHz, and a band-to-band isolation of more than 40 dB, from 3.14 to 3.2 GHz.

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.

본 논문에서는 변형된 전계-결합 유도-용량성(ELC; electric field-coupled inductive-capacitive) 공진기와 다중 슬롯 공진기를 이용한 소형 4-비트 chipless RFID(radio frequency identification) 태그를 제안하였다. 변형된 ELC 공진기는 기존의 ELC 공진기에서 인터디지털-커패시터 구조를 사용하여 레이다 단면적(RCS; radar cross section)의 공진 피크 주파수를 낮추었다. 다중 슬롯 공진기는 거꾸로 된 U-모양의 도체에 길이가 다른 3개의 슬롯을 에칭하여 설계하였다. 변형된 ELC 공진기의 RCS 공진 피크 주파수는 3.216 GHz로 설계하였고, 다중 슬롯 공진기는 각각 4.122 GHz, 4.64 GHz, 5.304 GHz로 설계하였다. 제안된 소형 4-비트 태그를 두께 0.8 mm의 50 mm×20 mm 크기의 RF-301 기판에 제작하였다. 실험 결과, 제작된 4-비트 chipless RFID 태그의 공진 피크 주파수는 3.285 GHz, 4.09 GHz, 4.63 GHz, 5.31 GHz로 0.78% ~ 2.16% 범위의 오차를 나타내며 시뮬레이션 결과와 유사하게 측정되었다.

The rapid growth of wireless and mobile communications has stimulated the development of multilayer filter technology. In this paper, one type of aperture-coupled microstrip interdigital-loop resonators in a multilayer structure are proposed and investigated for the applications to the design of a new class of compact microstrip bandpass filter. The new filter configuration consists of two arrays of microstrip interdigital-loop resonators that can be coupled through the apertures on the common ground plane. Depending on the arrangement of the apertures, different filtering characteristics can easily be realized. The results of measurement are almost similar to those of simulation.

This letter presents the design of a compact bandstop filter (BSF) operating at two frequencies. The proposed BSF consists of open-ended stepped impedance resonators (OSIR) and an end-shorted parallel-coupled microstrip line (E-PCML). The OSIRs are used to achieve the impedance-controlled stopband positions. The wide BSF bandwidths are achieved through enhanced coupling of the E-PCML. Explicit design guidelines are derived using a lossless transmission line model. To validate theoretical predictions, a prototype dual-band BSF operating at 900 MHz and 2,100 MHz with fractional bandwidths of 72% and 36%, respectively, is implemented in microstrip.

교차결합 마이크로스트립 헤어핀 공진기 여파기는 통과대역과 저지대역에서 리플이 나타나며 이러한 리플들은 주파수 선택도와 삽입손실을 개선시킬 수 있다. 교차결합 여파기는 구조가 간단할 뿐 만 아니라 여러가지 형태로 구성할 수 있으므로 그에 따라 여파기 크기가 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 중심주파수가 1.8GHz이고 대역폭이 5.0%를 갖는 대역통과 여파기를 Ensemble 소프트웨어로 설계하였다. 제작된 여파기의 대역폭은 중심 주파수 1.8GHz에서 약 4.53%를 나타내었다.

A compact microstrip band-selective filter for ultra-wideband (UWB) radio system is proposed. The filter combines the traditional short-circuited stub highpass filter and coupled resonator bandstop filter on both sides of the mitered 50-ohm microstrip line. To realize the pseudo-highpass filtering characteristic over UWB frequency band (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz), a distributed highpass filter scheme is adopted. Three coupled resonators are utilized to obtain the band stop function at the desired frequency band. By meandering the coupled resonators, there is 29% reduction in footprint compared to the traditional bandstop filter using L-shaped resonators. The measured results show that the filter has a wide passband of 146.7 % (2.1 GHz to 10.15 GHz) with low insertion loss and the stop band of 7.42 % (5.32 GHz to 5.73 GHz) for 3-dB bandwidth. The measured group delay is less than 0.7 ns within the passband except the rejection band.

We design and fabricate a widely tunable laser diode made of InGaAsP-InP. The diode is monolithically integrated with a wavelength-selective coupled-ring reflector and semiconductor amplifiers. For realization of a compact size device, deeply etched multi-mode interference couplers and square ring resonators composed of total-internal-reflection mirrors are adopted and fabricated using a self-aligned process. It is demonstrated that the laser diode exhibits single mode operation and 16 nm tuning range with side-mode-suppression-ratio exceeding 20 dB.

The design of a new compact UWB bandpass filter is proposed, which has cascaded center-tapped microstrip composite right/left-handed transmission-line zeroth-order resonators (CRLH-TL ZORs). In an attempt to reduce the size, instead of the conventional half-wavelength resonators or periodic and multiple CRLH-TL cells, only one cell ZOR geometry is adopted as each resonator in the filter. Additionally, two center-tapped ZORs are coupled to increase the slope of the skirt. Besides, stepped impedance matching parts are placed in the paths to the input and output ports to enhance passband and stopband performances. The proposed filter is shown to have the overall size of $0.69{\lambda}_g{\times}0.70{\lambda}_g$, the insertion loss much less than 1 dB, and an acceptable return loss performance in the predicted and measured results.
