Abstract

Harmonic band of bandpass filter(BPF) is suppressed using coupled mushroom structure. Between double positive (DPS) transmission line such as microstrip and double negative(DNG) transmission line such as one dimensional mushroom structure, strong coupling broadly arises in the cross range of dispersion curves of isolated microstrip and mushroom structure because of complex propagation constant in the cross range. Strong coupling inhibits wave propagation, so that this kind of structure can be utilized as bandstop filter(BSF). This BSF utilizes coupled transmission line instead of coupled resonator, resulting in broad bandwidth(>30 %), shan-rejection, and high rejection level. The strong coupling between DPS and DNG transmissionline makes it possible shorten coupling length, resulting in compact size. In this paper, parallel coupled BSF having center frequency of 4 GHz and 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 40 % is designed and utilized to suppressed spurious mode of two bandpass filters.

본 논문에서는 평행 결합 버섯 구조를 이용하여 대역 통과 필터의 고조파 성분을 제거하였다. Double positive(DPS)전송 선로인 마이크로스트립 라인과double negative(DNG)전송 선로인 버섯 구조 사이에서는 격리된 마이크로스트립 라인과 버섯 구조의 교차되는 분산 곡선 주파수 대역에서 강한 결합이 복소 전파 상수로 인해서 발생한다. 교차되는 분산 곡선 주파수에서 강한 결합으로 인하여 전파가 전파를 하지 못하기 때문에 이와 같은 구조는 대역 저지 필터로 이용할 수 있는 것이다. 제안된 대역 저지 필터는 공진기를 이용한 형태가 아니라 평행 결합 전송 선로를 이용하였기 때문에 넓은 대역폭을 가지고 DPS와 DNG 전송 선로 사이의 강한 결합으로 인해서 소형화에 유리하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중심 주파수 4 GHz, 3 dB fractional 대역폭은 40%인 평행 결합 대역 저지 필터를 설계하였고, 이를 두 가지 종류의 대역 통과 필터의 고조파 모드를 억제하는데 이용하였다.
