This paper presents a tri-wideband bandpass filter (TWB-BPF) with compact size, high band-to-band isolation, and multiple transmission zeros (TZs). The proposed TWB-BPF is based on a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), which is interpreted by the method of the even- and odd-mode analysis technique. The MMR can excite 11 resonant modes, where the first two modes comprise the first passband, the next four modes form the second passband, and the last five modes are used to generate the third passband. In addition, 10 TZs are yielded to obtain high band-to-band isolation and wide stopband suppression characteristics up to $14.95f_{c1}$ ($f_{c1}$ is the center frequency of the first passband). To verify the proposed filter, a TWB-BPF with 3-dB fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 37.4%, 43.5%, and 40.4% is designed, fabricated, and measured.

A microstrip dual-wideband bandpass filter using a multimode resonator (MMR) is proposed in this letter. The proposed MMR loaded with a T-shaped open-ended stub and a short-ended stub exhibits triple mode characteristics, and a synthesis method is developed to illustrate the wide passband with independently controllable center frequencies and bandwidths. To verify this design methodology, a dual-wideband filter with fractional bandwidths of 19.1% and 27.9% is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree with the simulations.

본 논문에서는 SIR CPW 대역통과 여파기의 고조파 억압을 위한 접힌 피드 구조를 제안하였고 이를 이용해 SIR CPW 대역통과 여파기를 설계하였다. 제안된 접힌 피드 구조는 넓은 저지대역을 갖는 저역통과 여파기의 특성을 보이며, CPW 대역통과 여파기에서 고조파 억압에 매우 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 및 측정결과 접힌 피드 구조를 갖는 SIR CPW 대역통과 여파기는 5.8 f$_{0}$까지 -20 dB 이 하로 고조파를 억압하는 우수한 특성을 보임을 알 수 있었다.다.

Modified compact combline bandpass filters are proposed based on the miniaturized quarter-wave transmission line which is composed of the parallel coupled line and lumped capacitors. The electrical length of the parallel coupled line in a resonator, which determines the size of combline bandpass filters, is just $5^{\circ}$ or $7^{\circ}$, resulting in a compact circuit area. The designed combline bandpass filter also has a wide upper stopband by suppressing the spurious passbands, not moving. Measured results of two fabricated filters centered at 400MHz show good agreement with the theoretical predications.

This paper presents a novel design for dual-band bandpass filters. The proposed filters are applicable to the carrier aggregation of the TV white space (TVWS) band and long-term evolution (LTE) band for cognitive radio applications. The lower passband is the TVWS band (470-698 MHz) whose fractional bandwidth is 40 %, while the higher passband is the LTE band (824-894 MHz) with 8 % fractional bandwidth. Since the two passbands are located very close to each other, a transmission zero is inserted to enhance the rejection level between the two passbands. The TVWS band filter is designed using magnetic coupling to obtain a wide bandwidth, and the LTE band filter is designed using dielectric resonators to achieve good insertion loss characteristics. In addition, in the proposed design, a transmission zero is placed with cross-coupling. The proposed dual-band bandpass filter is designed as a two-port filter (one input/one output) as well as a three-port filter (one common input/two outputs). The measured performances show good agreement with the simulated performances.

In this paper, two new circuit structures for European and U.S. ultra-wide band(UWB) bandpass filters(BPFs) with sharp roll-off characteristics are introduced. We show first that the ultra-wide bandpass property is obtained from a $\lambda$/4 open T resonator with a capacitively coupled $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line, which provides two attenuation poles at lower and upper cutoff frequencies. Then, two identical capacitively coupled input/output lines, which can be $\lambda$/4-length open ends or $\lambda$/2-length short ends, with the T-resonator, are adopted to suppress lower and higher frequency components outside of the pass band. There is coupling between the input and output lines providing two additional transmission zeros in the lower and upper transition bands of the filter. Since the coupling between the T-resonator with the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines limits the bandwidth of the filter to the European UWB band, both the $\lambda$/4 short-circuited line and the input/output lines are inserted between the two stacked T-resonators for the U.S. UWB band. The filter structures are simulated with ADS and HFSS and realized with low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) green tape which has the dielectric constant of 7.8. Measurement results agree well with HFSS simulation results.

본 논문에서는 위성중계기의 수신부에 위치하고 잇는 주파수 변환부(Down converter)에서 주파수 혼합기의 전단과 후단의 대역외 신호를 차단하는 Combline 여과기를 least-squares curve-fitting 방법을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였다. Combline 공진소자의 전기적 길이는 $\lambda$/8로서, $\lambda$/4 공진기를 이용하는 다른 여파기보다 대역외 차단주파수 대역이 넓다는 잇점을 가지고 있고 동시에 소형화와 경량화를 동시에 실현 할 수 있어 위성 중계기의 대역통과여파기로 선택하였다. 공진소자는 사각형 막대구조를 이용하였다. 원통형 막대 구조의 공진기가 협대역 여파기의 설계에 주로 이용되는 반면, 사각형 막대구조의 공진소자는 협대역뿐만 아니라 광대역 여파기 설계에도 응용이 가능하다는 것과 함께 구조해석과 가공이 용이하다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 설계된 주파수 대역은 800MHz 이며, Chebyschev 여파기 함수를 적용하여 4-pole 여파기를 설계 및 제작하였다.

A new design method of microstrip wide band VHF tunable bandpass filters using varacter diodes is presented. In the proposed filter both the input and output ports are coupled through capacitors, and an open micro-strip line is inserted between the coupled line in order to obtain the desired degree of coupling. The optimized filter responseses for the frequency range of 220-404MHz by TOUCH-STONE are compared with the measured ones.

본 논문에서는, 병렬 결합의 두 전송선으로 구성된 transversal 여파 특성 구조와 SIR 개념을 함께 이용하여, 급격한 차단 특성, 낮은 삽입 손실, 평탄한 군지연 특성을 가지는 새로운 소형 UWB 대역 통과 여파기가 개발된다. 요구되는 대역 특성을 얻기 위해, 매우 넓은 대역에서의 낮은 삽입 손실을 확보한 채, 다수의 차단용 극점들이 생성된다. 또한 상대적으로 작은 구조로써 높은 차수의 급격한 차단 특성을 구현하고, 동시에 UWB 응용에 적합하도록 완만한 군지연을 구현한 것이 장점이다. 제안한 기술의 타당성이 이론과 실험에 의해 증명된다.
