An analytic design formula is proposed for a TEM mode dielectric bandpass filter with attenuation poles at desired frequencies in the stop band. In order to sustain the constant ripple in the passband due to attenuation poles, the initial resonant frequencies of the various resonators adopted in a filter with attenuation poles are newly calculated. The proposed design theory is verified by designing various bandpass filters with attenuation poles in the stop band.

Very convenient equivalent circuits fur the design of bandpass filters with an attenuation pole in the lower or upper stopband are provided together with necessary closed-form solutions. The proposed approach gives us much flexibility and simplifies the design of inserting attenuation poles.

In this paper a novel dielectric resonator (DR) bandpass filter (BPF) with flexible arrangement of attenuation poles is proposed. This DR filter is similar to a conventional DR filter except adding a microstrip line below a DR, which not only shifts the location of attenuation poles, but also improves skirt characteristics. The duplexer with the proposed DR BPF has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional DR alter. The implemented duplexer has shown a good performance and been well agreed with the simulation.

In this paper, a new semi-lumped low-pass filter with three finite attenuation poles at stopband is presented. The new structure is composed of a pair of symmetrical parallel coupled-line and a shunted capacitor. With this configuration, three finite attenuation poles can be available for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonics suppression. The research method is based on transmission-line model for tuning the attenuation poles. In order to examine the feasibility of the proposed structure, a low-pass filter based on microstrip structure with harmonics suppression is designed, fabricated, and measured. The experimental results of the fabricated circuit agree well with the simulation and analytical ones.

This paper presents half wavelength partial H-plane filters with multiple attenuation poles using narrow H-plane slot of evanescent waveguide. The narrow H-plane slot operates as an admittance inverter o( the bandpass filter and, simultaneously, generates an attenuation pole at particular frequency. Therefore, proposed filters with attenuation poles are simply implemented without any additional coupling and extra modification of the structure. The number of attenuation poles of the filters equals to that of the H-plane slots. Moreover, proposed filters are compact waveguide filter since ones are embodied by partial H-plane waveguide which has 1/4 cross section of conventional waveguide. The third and fourth-order half wavelength filters having 4 and 5 attenuation poles, respectively, are designed in H-band and their frequency responses are confirmed by simulation and measurement.

In this letter, a novel compact duplexer which consists of Tx and Rx Filter using microstrip line ${\lambda}/4$ resonators with a pair of tap-connected open-ended stepped impedance stubs is designed. The tapped open stubs not only work as K-inverters but also introduce attenuation poles, attenuation poles are located at upper and lower side of the passband by adjusting the open stub length and width. The result of measurement duplexer has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional bandpass filter and similar to those of simulation results.

In this paper, a novel miniaturized microstrip duplexer with attenuation pole is proposed. A three-pole microstrip CT(Cascade Trisection) two bandpass filters have each asymmetrically prescribed transmission zero are design and fabrication. This CT bandpass filter changes coupling structure, which not only shifts the location of attenuation poles but also improves skirt characteristics. The duplexer results of measurement with the cross coupling CT bandpass filters has been yielded better isolation and sharper skirt behavior than that with a conventional bandpass filter. The results of measurement are almost similar to those of simulation results.

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 $1.2{\times}2.0{\times}1.0mm^3$.

A novel miniaturized 2-pole band pass filter(BPF) is proposed and it has an overlapped hairpin and slot structure on the upper and bottom plane of microstrip lines. Due to the overlapped structure of a hairpin and a slot, the size of the proposed BPF is quite smaller than that of a general BPF having coupled lines. The size of the proposed BPF is reduced to 33 % comparing with the conventional λ/4 coupled BPF. The attenuation is improved by controlling the attenuation poles properly using the proposed structure. The proposed 2-pole BPF is fabricated with a narrow bandwidth(69 ㎒) at center frequency, 1.9 ㎓ which is difficult to make that narrow bandwidth in the conventional coupled lines due to impractical spacing. The design method in this paper can be applied to the design of other microwave circuits to reduce the size and improve the performances.
