This paper presents a new class of microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator filters with reduced size and improved stopband characteristics. A comprehensive treatment of both ends loaded with triangular and rectangular ends is described, leading to the invention of a microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator. Two-resonator and four-resonator bandpass filters are designed at the operating frequency of about 2 GHz, and a bandwidth of 60 MHz. The size of the slow-wave open-loop resonator is optimized from the standpoint of the unloaded Q-factor. The filters are not only compact in size due to the slow-wave effect, but also have a wider upper stopband resulting from the dispersion effect. The filter designs of this type are described in details. The experimental results are demonstrated and discussed.

In this paper, we present a novel design for a dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on the conventional second-order, open-loop BPF. By adding series resonant circuits to the open ends of the resonator, we can create two resonant modes from the even and odd modes. One pair of the even and odd modes constitutes the upper passband, while the other pair constitutes the lower passband. By adding another series resonant circuit to the open-loop resonator, we can control the bandwidth of either the upper passband or the lower passband. We can replace the series resonant circuits with simple microstrip line resonators. A dual-band BPF working at both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands) is designed based on the proposed method and is tested. The measured and simulated results show excellent agreement.

A new type of cross-coupled planar microwave filter using coupled microstrip square open-loop resonators diplexer pro-posed. A method for the rigorous calculation of the coupling coefficients of basic four pole electric and magnetic coupling structures encountered. Simple empirical models are derived for estimation of the coupling coefficients. Experiments are performed to verify the theory. And a method for diplexer matching is conjugate matching that has characteristic better than open matching method.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the microstrip square open loop multiple split ring resonator (OLMSRR) is presented for reducing the phase noise property. The square-shaped multiple split ring resonator (MSRR) having the form of the microstrip square open loop is investigated to realize this property. Compared with the microstrip square open loop resonator and the microstrip square open loop split ring resonator (OLSRR) as well as the conventional microstrip line resonator, the microstrip square OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. The VCO with 1.7V power suppIy has the phase noise of $-124.5\;{\sim}\;-122.0\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.746\;{\sim}\;5.84\;GHz$. The figure of merit (FOM) of this VCO is $-203.96\;{\sim}\;-201.6\;dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the same tuning range. Compared with VCO using the conventional microstrip line resonator, VCO using the microstrip square open loop resonator and VCO using microstrip square OLSRR, the phase noise property of VCO using the proposed resonator has been improved in 25.66 dB, 8.34 dB, and 4.5 dB, respectively.

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.

In this paper, miniaturization of an elliptic-response open-loop resonator filter and design flexibility using similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. Moreover, the filter with wider fractional bandwidth is designed by the proposed method. In order to verify the proposed method, three 4th-order elliptic-response open-loop resonator filters with a relative bandwidth of 4 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz are designed. One is realized with constant-width microstrip line resonator and the others are implemented with different-width microstrip line resonator. Compared with the former one, the latter have shown the size reduction of 13 % and 25 %, respectively. Since it may not be possible to implement the resonators with very narrow spacing for the required coupling coefficient filters with two different configurations representing same response characteristic through similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. From this design flexibility, a filter with a relative bandwidth of 8 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz is designed with realizable design parameters.
