In this paper, we designed and fabricated High-Tc Superconducting (HTS) microstrip bandpass filters using Stepped Impedance Resonators(SIR) and studied on their characteristics. The $high-T_c$ superconducting $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ epitaxial films were deposited by Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) system on MgO. The fabricated filters were designed so as to operate in Ku band with central frequency 17.25 GHz, bandwidth 2.896% and ripple 0.01 dB. These filters were composed of parallel coupled microstrip SIR of which impedance ratio (K) are 0.5, 1.5. In the measured response, HTS filters had showed insertion loss below -0.5 dB. For comparison with normal conducting filter, we fabricated the Au counterpart that consists of the resonators as K=1.5 in the same dimension and measured performance of the Au filter. In comparison, HTS filter designed optimally got superior response to gold conterpart.

This paper presents a compact microstrip triple-mode filter with enhanced skirt characteristics. The presented triple-mode filter configuration supports three transmission poles and three transmission zeros within the nearby passband. Two of transmission zeros are generated by a triple-mode resonator itself, and the third one is generated by small cross-couplings between the I/O ports. Each resonance condition and the transmission zero generation conditions are analyzed using an equivalent circuit. The bandpass filter is designed for a 2.4 GHz WLAN. The filter was fabricated with a relative dielectic constant of 3.5 and a thickness of 0.76 mm. The fabricated filter has a small size ($7.9mm{\times}7.2mm$, i.e., $0.107{\lambda}_g{\times}0.098{\lambda}_g$, where ${\lambda}_g$ is guided wavelength at a center frequency) and shows high performing skirt characteristics.

In this paper, we design a slow-wave bandpass filter that uses a microstrip line periodically loaded with microstrip ing resonators for WLAN(5 GHz). Unlike conventional slow-wave filters, this filter is designed to produce a narrow passband at the fundamental mode of the resonators and provide lower insertion loss than that of parallel- or cross-coupled ring bandpass filters. A PBG(Photonic Band Gap) structure patterned in the ground plane is used to suppress the spurious transmission and extend out-of-band rejections Experimental result shows that the first spurious response in the stopband of the slow-wave bandpass filter can be rejected using a PBG structure.

Analysis and design procedures for both symmetrical and non-symmetrical open-circuited interdigital multiple coupled microstrip line structures for applications as wide-band DC blocks/filters have been presented. The design equations, as is the case of other microstrip structures, are based on a simplified TEM model. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretically predicted ones.

We fabricated a new hairpin type HTS 2-pole microstrip Bandpass filter to operate at 5.8GHz. The fabrication method was pulsed laser deposition and YBCO films were deposited on ${\alpha}$-A1$_2O_3$ substrates with a CeO$_2$ thin layer as a buffer layer. We developed a new style hairpin type filter by using interdigitide innerpole. Compared to the saute size regular hairpin type filters, our filter had a lower center frequency, bandwidth and loss by an amount of 14.5%, 29.6%, 0.5488dB, respectively. The size of the filters were 13.7${\times}$3.3mm. We did simulations on the several types of band pass filters by using HFSS and serenade. We measured growth rate and Tc of YBCO films grown on CeO$_2$/ ${\alpha}$-A1$_2O_3$ substrates which were rotated while growing films.

In this paper, a novel miniaturized microstrip duplexer with attenuation pole is proposed. A three-pole microstrip CT(Cascade Trisection) two bandpass filters have each asymmetrically prescribed transmission zero are design and fabrication. This CT bandpass filter changes coupling structure, which not only shifts the location of attenuation poles but also improves skirt characteristics. The duplexer results of measurement with the cross coupling CT bandpass filters has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional bandpass filter. The results of measurement are almost similar to those of simulation results.

In this article, new microstrip slow-wave bandpass filters using open loop resonator loaded with inter-digital capacitive fingers is proposed. The filter features not only compact in size, but also exhibits spurious stop-band rejection. Filters of this type with elliptic function and Chebyshev response are demonstrated. There is good agreement between experimental and full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation results.

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 order to enhance satellite communication system performance, filters are required with the characteristics of sharp skirt, low insertion loss, and high power handling capability. But the performance of microwave passive filters is significantly declined by the conduction losses, especially in case of planar structures using film conductors. By using high temperature superconducting(HTS) film material as the conductor, higher performance could be expected. We have designed and developed narrow bandpass filters using haripin-type superconducting microstrip line for satellite communication. High quality superconducting YBCO thin films have been grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) The deposited YBCO films were patterned by conventional wet-etching process. The transition temperatures of these films had shown 86 - 89 K. The film thicknesses were about 500 nm. Experimental results are presented for the insertion loss and return loss of the filter at 60 K.
