An ultrawide stopband lowpass filter is reported using three stepped impedance resonators with high selectivity. The filter extends the stopband frequency range and attenuation, and two quarter-wave open stubs and three circular ground slots are introduced. The lumped and distributed equivalent models are derived and analyzed. The corresponding results are validated experimentally in a fabricated prototype. The prototype lowpass filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency (f_c) of 2.9 GHz, and the stopband is extended up to 35 GHz (12.07f_c), with an attenuation level better than 20 dB throughout. The passband-to-stopband transition (3 dB-20 dB) bandwidth is 0.18 GHz, and the roll-off factor is 135 dB/GHz at 30 dB. The insertion loss is 0.3 dB at 1.6 GHz. The normalized circuit size of the proposed filter with respect to the guided wavelength is 0.04.

본 논문에서 변형된 generalized Chebyshev 유리함수가 제시되었다. 이 함수를 이용한 회로망 합성으로 새로운 원형 저역 통과 필터의 소자값이 구해졌다. 이 제안된 필터는 기존의 generalized Chebyshev 필터와 마찬가지로 통과 대역에서 등리플을 갖지만 유한 주파수에서 오직 하나의 감쇠극을 갖는 기존의 필터와는 달리, 제안된 필터는 저지 대역에서 서로 다른 두 개의 감쇠극을 갖는다. 만약 고조파가 두 번째 감쇠극 주파수에 맞춰진다면, 고조파를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다. 게다가, 두 번째 감쇠극의 위치는 임의로 조정될 수 있기 때문에 제안한 필터는 넓은 저지 대역 구현에 특히 유용하다.

본 논문에서는 필터의 손실이나 크기의 증가 없이 저지 대역을 현저히 화장시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 저역 통과 필터는 기존에 발표된 변형된 일반화된 체비셰프(MU: Modified Generalized Chebyshev)저역 통과 필터와 외형상 소자의 구성이 유사하지만 필터의 소자값이 서로 완전히 다르다. 기존의 MGC 필터는 두 번째 감쇠극만을 고조파 제거(또는 억제)에 사용했지만, 반면에 제안한 필터는 두 번째 감쇠극뿐만 아니라 첫 번째 감쇠극의 3차 고조파를 적절히 이용함으로서 저지 대역 특성이 기존의 MGC 필터보다 우수하다. 제안한 이론에 따라 저역 통과 필터를 제작하였고, 제작된 필터의 측정으로부터 제안된 필터는 저지 대역폭이 전형적인 GC(Generalized Chevbyshev)필터에 비해 4배 이상, 기존의 MGC 필터보다 1.7배 이상의 넓은 범위에 이름을 확인할 수 있다.

A novel lowpass filter with a very sharp transition band and wide stopband is proposed. The proposed filter is based on T-shaped patches which are etched in symmetrical structures and folded open stub. To obtain a wide stopband, we have used stub loaded semi-circle stepped-impedance structures. By designing the resonator with high inductance and capacitance, a very sharp transition band is achieved. The proposed filter has a 3-dB cutoff frequency at 2.37 GHz and a 40-dB rejection at 2.44 GHz. The stopband with an attenuation level better than -13.2 dB is up from 2.4 GHz to 16 GHz, and consequently we have reached the high and wide rejection in stopband with compact size. Good agreements between the simulated and the measured results are presented.

This paper has been proposed an audio DAC structure composed of FIRs and IIR filters as digital interpolation filter to integrate the off-chip analog low-pass filter on-a-chip. The passband ripple(< 0.41${\times}$fs), passband attenuation(at 0.41${\times}$fs) and stopband attenuation(> 0.59${\times}$fs) of the Δ$\Sigma$ modulator output using the proposed digital interpolation filter had ${\pm}$ 0.001 ［㏈］, -0.0025［㏈］ and -75［㏈］, respectively. Also the inband group delay was 30.07/fs［s］ and the error of group delay was 0.1672%. Also, the attenuation of stopband has been increased -20［㏈］ approximately at 65［㎑］, out-of-band. Therefore the RC products of analog low-pass filter on chip have been decreased compared with the conventional digital interpolation filter structure.

Herein, we present a compact transversal bandpass filter (BPF) with an extremely wide upper stopband and multiple transmission zeros (TZ). Three signal transmission paths with shorted stubs and open-coupled lines allow signal transmission from input port to output port. Two resonant modes can be excited simultaneously and managed easily for bandpass response. Eleven TZs are achieved via transmission path cancelation; an extremely wide upper stopband with an attenuation level better than -12 dB is achieved up to 11.7 f0, where f0 is the center frequency (CF). In addition, bandwidth and CF can be controlled by adjusting electrical lengths. For proof of concept, a wideband BPF centered at 1.04 GHz with 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 49.2% was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The overall circuit measures 0.045λg × 0.117λg; good agreement was observed between the measured and simulated results.

The eleventh-order coupled line lowpass filter(LPF) was designed to suppress harmonics and spurious signals. The microstrip type LPF was fabricated using a high-$T_{c}$ superconductor(HTS) $YBa_{2}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin film with the $CeO_{2}$ buffer layer which was deposited on the sapphire ($Al_{2}O_{3}$) substrate of 30 x 30 $mm^{2}$. The coupled-line type LPF was designed for 1.2 GHz of cutoff frequency with 0.01 dB of ripple level at passband. The fabricated HTS LPF shows excellent attenuation characteristics in stopband of 1.2~9.5GHz (7-attenuation poles in the stopband), and shows low insertion loss (0.2 dB) and return loss (17.1 dB) in the pass- band. These measured results match well with those obtained by the EM simulation. This clearly demonstrates that the HTS LPF can suppress harmonics and spurious signals effectively.

A new compact microstrip low-pass filter and its equivalent-circuit model are developed. The philosophy of the structure behind this novel microstrip low-pass filter is simple as it is composed of a pair of symmetrical parallel coupled-line and an open-stub. With this configuration, a finite attenuation pole near the stopband cutoff frequency is available and adjustable by simply tuning the circuit parameters. Furthermore, the rejection bandwidth of this type of low-pass filter can be extended. In order to validate the feasibility of the proposed design method, a low-pass filter based on a microstrip structure is designed, fabricated, and measured. Experimental results agree very well with the simulation and analytical results.

In this paper, we propose a microstrip bandpass filter using stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonators. The stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonator has extended harmonic suppression in comparison with a conventional hairpin resonator due to transmission zero and the movement of harmonic frequencies resulting from the stepped-impedance characteristic. A high-pass type impedance/admittance inverter is employed in order to improve the lower frequency skirt characteristics of the passband. A 4-pole bandpass filter is designed and fabricated at 1.8 GHz. The measured results show the excellent attenuation performance at the stopband which is greater than 30 dB up to 10 GHz.
