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.

This paper presents a new configuration of dielectric bandpass filter using the comb-line filter design theory. This filter is composed of a homogeneous dielectric monoblock $(\varepsilonr=35.5)$ with two metal post and a dielectric sheet $(\varepsilonr=9.8).$ In this structure, the RF leakage is suppressed without other shield housing. For the fabricated filter, insertion loss value in the passband region was 0.9dB(Max.) and return loss value was 19dB(Min). Also, this filter has a attenuation pole in the stopband.

In this paper, a highly miniaturized and performed UWB bandpass filter has been newly designed and implemented by embedding all the passive elements into a multi-layered PCB substrate with high dielectric $SrTiO_3$ composite film for 3.1 - 4.75 GHz compact UWB system applications. The high dielectric composite film was utilized to increase the capacitance densities and quality factors of capacitors embedded into the PCB. In order to reduce the size of the filter and avoid parasitic EM coupling between the embedded filter circuit elements, it was designed by using a $3^{rd}$ order Chebyshev circuit topology and a capacitive coupled transformation technology. Independent transmission zeros were also applied for improving the attenuation of the filter at the desired stopbands. The measured insertion and return losses in the passband were better than 1.68 and 12 dB, with a minimum value of 0.78 dB. The transmission zeros of the measured response were occurred at 2.2 and 5.15 GHz resulting in excellent suppressions of 31 and 20 dB at WLAN bands of 2.4 and 5.15 GHz, respectively. The size of the fabricated bandpass filter was $2.9{\times}2.8{\times}0.55(H)mm^3$.

In this work, a CPW resonator was designed and fabricated to investigate the basic microwave properties, such as effective dielectric constant, of BST thin films. Their properties were used as basic data to simulate and design CPW tunable bandpass filter. We also report on gold/$Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$(BST) ferroelectric thin film C-band tunable bandpass filters(BPFs) designed and fabricated on magnesium oxide substrates using CPW structure. The 2 pole filter was designed for a center frequency of 5.88 GHz with a bandwidth of 9 %. The BST based CPW filter offers a high sensitivity parameter as well as a low loss parameter. The tuning range for the bandpass filter with CPW structure was determined to be 170 MHz.

In this paper, We proposed compact multi-layer LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) bandpass filter for Bluetooth module. A ${\lambda}/4$ coupled stripline resonators are designed, which composed of coupled strip-line section and loading capacitance. This resonator with a loading capacitor has slow-wave characteristics. Due to the slow-wave effect of the proposed resonator, it is possible to design and fabricate a compact bandpass filter with a wide upper stop band. Attenuation poles in the lower stop band are achieved using controlling of electro-magnetic coupling between resonators. Using multi-layer LTCC technology, we designed and fabricated band pass filter with a finite attenuation pole and wide upper stopband. The overall size of the filter is $1.2{\times}2.0{\times}1.0mm^3$.

In this paper, the bandpass filter for ITS system of 5.8 GHz is proposed by using the dual-mode resonator with the radial stub. As alternating the open stub with the radial stub, the size of the dual mode resonator can be reduced about 39.6% and the out-of-band characteristics of the bandpass filter using dual mode resonator can be enhanced from 19.4 dB to 29.1 dB by using the stub of $6.9{\Omega}$ i.e. realized by parallel two radial stubs with $60^{\circ}$ angle. The fabricated bnadpass filter using the dual mode resonator has the center frequency of 5.72 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 4.1%. Also, the filter has the insertion loss and return loss of 1.79 dB and 19.4 dB, respectively.

In this paper, a new continuous-time bandpass active filter for lour-voltage applications is proposed. The active filter is composed of the CMOS complementary cascode circuit which can increase trans-conductance of an active element. These results are verified through the 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS n-well parameter hspice simulation. As a result, the gain and the unity gain frequency is 42dB and 200MHz respectively in the integrator. Additionally, center frequency of the bandpass active filter is 747kHz. And also bandwidth of the filter is 649kHz on 2V supply voltage.

A new compact UWB bandpass filter with sharp-rejection and low insertion-loss is designed in this paper, using the parallel transmission line with SIR structure. An Example filter is firstly theoretically designed by the proposed synthesis procedure, the optimized by EM simulator, fabricated in microstrip line and finally characterized by a network analyzer. A good agreement between the simulation results and prototype validates the proposed UWB bandpass filter. The designed filter also realized a sharp rejection of higher order with a relatively small size which is proper for the UWB communication system.

This paper presents a novel bandpass filter design method for suppressing spurious response in the GSM band and effectively reducing the overall size with the unbalanced-conditioned metamaterials. Compared to the conventional bandpass filters based on half-or quarter-wave resonators, the CRLH(composite right/left-handed) bandpass filter works excellently in harmonic-suppression by 40$\sim$50 dB and 80 %-miniaturization using the zero-order resonators bridged by Inductive-coupling Inverters suggested first time. The proposed technique, with the equivalent circuit and dispersion diagram, is validated by performance predictions and experiments.

A miniaturized waveguide bandpass filter is designed by combining a corrugated lowpass structure and a highpass configuration based on the cut-off effect of waveguides. It is smaller than the conventional waveguide bandpass filter composed of half-wavelength resonators and has wider spurious free characteristics. Optimized design data for a seven-order waveguide bandpass filter with the symmetrical structure are given at the center frequency of 10 GHz with 800 MHz bandwidth. Measured bandwidth of the center frequency of 9.97 GHz is 840 MHz and measured insertion loss is 0.97dB, The length of the bandpass filter is 64.38mm. The first spurious response is produced at 26.1 GHz.
