Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using slot on the ground plane and microstrip shunt open stub. The microstrip shunt open stub and slot exhibit the different stopband response. The combined characteristics of these structures gives the ultra-wide stopband characteristics and the coupling effect between slots on the ground plane makes the prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 20.1 mm ${\times}$ 18.7 mm has -3 ㏈ cutoff frequency at 1.187 ㎓ and -20 ㏈ stopband from 1.33 ㎓ to over 20 ㎓ and the insertion loss in the passband is less than -0.4 ㏈ form DC to 1 ㎓.

본 논문에서는 접지면의 슬롯과 급전면의 병렬 개방 스터브를 이용하여 초광대역의 저지대역과 우수한 cutoff 특성을 갖는 저역통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 슬롯과 병렬개방 스터브로 형성된 저지대역을 중첩 시켜 매우 넓은 저지대역을 얻을 수 있었으며 접지면에 형성된 두 슬롯 사이의 커플링을 이용하여 기존의 저역통과 여파기보다 우수한 cutoff특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 제안한 여파기는 20.1 mm ${\times}$ 18.7 mm의 크기로 통과대역 삽입손실은 1 ㎓까지 -0.4 ㏈ 이하이고 1.187 ㎓에서 -3 ㏈ 차단 주파수를 갖는다. 저지대역은 -20 ㏈ 기준으로 1.33 ㎓에서 20 ㎓ 이상의 광대역을 이루어 이상적인 여파기에 가까운 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.
