In this study, a novel third-order bandpass filter, which is based on a rectangular closed loop resonator, is presented. By adding a series resonator to the conventional loop resonator, the resonator's even resonant mode is split into two modes, while the odd resonant mode is not affected. Therefore, by varying the values of the series resonator elements, the resonant frequencies of two even modes can be determined independent of the odd-mode resonant frequency. In the proposed triple-mode filter design, instead of using a lumped series resonator, a T-shaped transmission line is coupled to the resonator via a small gap. To verify the design method, a filter is designed at 2.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 100 MHz. The improved performances of the proposed triple-mode filter are compared with those of the conventional dual mode filter.

This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even-odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri-band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.

본 논문에서는 두 단락 스터브를 갖는 이중 모드 링 공진기를 이용하여 높은 신호 선택도를 가지는 이중대역 대역통과 필터를 제안하였다. 링 공진기의 이중 모드 공진을 위하여 두 피드 라인을 커플링 커패시터를 통해 비직교 급전 각도를 가지도록 연결하였다. 서로 다른 두 길이를 가지는 두 단락 스터브를 링 공진기의 두 대칭면에 위치시킴으로써 이중 대역을 지원하는 여파기를 설계할 수 있었다. 급전 각도 섭동을 준 링 공진기와 제안한 이중대역 대역통과 필터는 대칭 구조이므로 Even/Odd 모드 해석을 통하여 산란계수와 전송 영점 주파수들을 도출할 수 있다. 제안한 이중대역 대역통과 필터는 IEEE 802.11n 기준의 WLAN 어플리케이션에 적용 가능하도록 설계 및 제작되었다. 측정 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과가 잘 부합하였고, WLAN 응용뿐만 아니라, 향후 다른 통신시스템에도 적용이 가능하리라 판단된다.

E 모양의 이중 모드 공진기를 변형하여 상.하측 대역의 대역폭 조절이 가능한 이중 대역 통과 필터를 설계 제작하였다. 변형된 E 모양의 이중 모드 공진기를 이용하여 even 모드 간의 결합이 odd 모드 공진점에 영향을 미치지 않게 만들었고, 이를 통하여 상측 대역의 대역폭을 효과적으로 조절할 수 있다. 그리고 급전 선로간의 결합을 통하여 차단 대역에 전송 영점을 발생시켜 차단 특성을 높였다. 대역폭 조절이 가능함을 보이기 위해 중심 주파수 2 GHz와 3 GHz에서 140 MHz의 동일한 대역폭을 갖는 필터를 설계하였다.

In this paper, a $\lambda/4$ hairpin resonator is proposed to reduce the size of planar resonators for a LTCC MLC bandpass filter. The $\lambda/4$ hairpin resonator operates as stepped impedance resonator (SIR) without changing the width of the planar resonator. It is composed of two sections those are parallel coupled line and transmission line. The characteristic impedance of two sections is different each other. The design formulas of the bandpass filter using the coupling element at the arbitrary position are derived from even and odd-mode analysis. The formulas can take account of the arbitrary coupling of lumped ana/or distributed resonators. The advantage of this filter is its abilities to change freely the coupling structure between two resonators. Experimental bandpass filters for 2.4GHz Band are implemented and their performances are shown.

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.

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.

본 논문에서는 $\lambda$/4 헤어핀 공진기를 2.4 GHz 대역의 LTCC(Low Temperature Co-fire Ceramic) 대역통과 필터의 설계에 적용하였다. $\lambda$/4 헤어핀 공진기는 전송선로의 폭을 일정하게 유지한 상태로 특성임피던스를 변화시킬 수 있어, 등가적으로 SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator)로 동작한다. $\lambda$/4 헤어핀 공진기는 평행결합 선로와 전송선로 부분으로 구성된다. 따라서 공진기의 두 부분의 특성임피던스는 서로 다른 값을 갖는다. 또한 공진기 사이의 결합량을 조절하기 위하여 사용하는 부가적인 결합 패턴은 결합위치에 따라 결합량을 다르게 할 수 있다. 평행 결합선로의 결합 구조와 부가적인 결합 패턴을 모두 고려한 대역통과 필터를 설계하기 위해서 두 결합구조의 등가회로를 하나의 인버터로 통합하는 과정을 제시하였다. 2.4GHz 대역에서 150 MHz 대역폭의 대역통과 필터를 적층 구조로 설계하여 설계 결과와 잘 일치하는 특성을 얻었다.

We propose comb-line filter using SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) with two transmission line. The coupling structure of the filter is double coupled line where two coupled lines are linked with cascade. We find out the inverter function of the filter. using even and odd mode impedance. The merits of the filter are that first, we can design transmission zero point at any frequency that we wanted without using lumped elements : chip capacitors and inductors. Second, we can design small size filters. To validate the inverter function of the filter with double coupled line we designed and fabricated two-pole band pass filter with the proposed filter structure.

A new measurement method of coupled transmission line characteristics is described. This method presents precision values of even-and odd-mode impedances as well as effective dielectric constants of symmetric parallel coupled microstrip lines from the scalar quantities obtained by transmission coefficients at two different resonance frequencies. Especially these values include dispersion effects in the measured frequency band. The measured impedances and effective dielectric constants of actually fabricated coupled lines on the Teflon substrates with low dielectric constants are good agreement with predicted values. And the experimental pass band characteristics of single section resonator by using previously designed coupled lines agree well with theoretical values.
