In this paper, we propose a microstrip bandpass filter using stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonators. The stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonator has extended harmonic suppression in comparison with a conventional hairpin resonator due to transmission zero and the movement of harmonic frequencies resulting from the stepped-impedance characteristic. A high-pass type impedance/admittance inverter is employed in order to improve the lower frequency skirt characteristics of the passband. A 4-pole bandpass filter is designed and fabricated at 1.8 GHz. The measured results show the excellent attenuation performance at the stopband which is greater than 30 dB up to 10 GHz.

In this paper, we proposed the dual-mode stepped impedance ring resonator bandpass filter for MMIC (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) applications using the dielectric-supported air-gapped microstrip line (DAML). The ring resonator fabricated by surface micromachining technology. This filter consists of a DAML resonator layer and a CPW feed line. The DAML ring resonator is elevated with $10{\mu}m$ height from GaAs substrate surface. This bandpass filter is $1-{\lambda}g$ type stepped impedance ring resonator including dual-mode resonance. From the measurements, we obtained attenuation of over 15 dB and insertion loss of 2.65 dB at the center frequency of 97 GHz. Relative bandwidth is about 12 % at 97 GHz. Furthermore, the proposed bandpass filter is useful to integrate with conventional MMICs.

This paper presents the design method of a temperature stable stepped-impedance resonator using composite material. In this method temperature coefficient of dielectric constant $(\tau\varepsilon)$ and thermal expansion coefficient $(\alpha1)$ of dielectric material were considered. Ba(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 and CaZrO3 as composite material having opposite signs of temperature coefficient of dielectric constant were selected. The length of this resonator for the temperature stability of resonance frequency was calculated at 900MHz, 1.4㎓ and 1.9㎓. It was found that the ratio of the length of positive $\tau\varepsilon$ materal to the length of negative $\tau\varepsilon$ material is constant at various resonance frequencies.

In this paper, dual-band bandpass filter by using Pseudo-Interdigital Stepped-Impedance Resonator(PI-SIR) and Open-Loop Ring Resonator(OLRR) is proposed. The first passband and second passband are formed by PI-SIR and the second passband is reinforced by an OLRR. In a PI-SIR the first band and second band are easily and exactly adjusted by characteristic impedance ratio and electrical length ratio. The proposed design method may be confirmed to be useful from fabricated and measured results for dual-band bandpass filter operated at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

A spurious suppressed bandpass filter is proposed and discussed using the stepped impedance resonator(SIR) on a substrate-integrated waveguide(SIW) structure with a double-layer substrate. The second resonance of the fundamental $TE_{10}$ mode can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length and impedance ratio of each SIR. The spurious suppressed SIW bandpass filter shows the measurement results of the insertion loss of 3.98 dB and return loss of less than 11.58 dB at the center frequency of 12 GHz. Also, the second spurious frequency is improved to about $1.5f_0$ compared with $1.33f_0$.

In this paper, the design formulas for bandpass filters using parallel coupled stepped impedance resonators(SIR) are derived. General content about basic feature of stepped impedance resonators(SIR) is represented. The filters and duplexer using stepped impedance resonators(SIR) have been designed and realized with the presented design method at IMT-2000 frequency band Simulations have used serenade circuit simulation and HFSS EM-simulation. We were showed excellent agreements between SIR design theory and simulation results on the multi-layer filter/duplexer.

This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even-odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri-band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.

This paper proposes a tri-band bandpass filter using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with open stubs and parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have inter-digital and comb-line shorted ends. Two U-shaped SIRs with open stubs build the first and third passband, and the central PCL resonators build the second passband. Five resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive the scattering parameters of the proposed filter. A novel tri-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering parameters. The measured result of the fabricated tri-band bandpass filter shows a good agreement with the simulated one.

A compact microstrip lowpass filter (LPF) with an elliptic function response is proposed. A high equivalent capacitance and inductance between the structures of the resonator result in the sharp transition band of 0.04 GHz from 4 GHz to 4.04 GHz with an attenuation level of -3 dB and -20 dB, respectively. To improve the LPF rejection band, multiple open stubs are connected to the proposed resonator. A filter with a 3-dB cut-off frequency at 4 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured, and agreement between the measured and simulated results is achieved. The results show that a stopband bandwidth of 131% with a suppression level better than -20 dB is obtained while achieving a compact size with a wide stopband.

This paper has designed a wideband bandpass filter (WBSF : Wide Band Stop Filter) using a stepped impedance resonator (SIR : Stepped Impedance Resonator) with improved performance and improved hairpin coupling structure. The SIR WBSF is small in size and has the advantage of having excellent bandstop characteristics. The designed BSF has a structure in which a quadrangular shaped hairpin of a / 4 length is arranged symmetrically on the upper and lower sides of the input and output transmission lines. The input and output terminals were terminated at 50 ohms for system applications. The center frequency of the SIR WBSF is 6.3 GHz, which is the second harmonic of 3.15 GHz. The designed filter has a 3dB bandwidth of 2.9 GHz and a transmission coefficient ($S_{21}$) of 33.2 dB. The reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) at the center frequency is 0.106 dB. The application field is used for fixed microwave relay stations, fixed satellite and earth stations, and fixed satellite communications. The overall size is $20mm{\times}10mm$.
