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.

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.

We present the design of a compact microstrip lowpass filter with a wide stopband which is up to ten times the cutoff frequency. The filter is based on a coupled-line configuration and shunt open stubs. The open stubs create additional transmission zeros, which are used to extend the stopband of the filter without any additional components or cascaded units. A prototype lowpass filter with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 0.428 GHz and a 15 dB stopband extended up to 4.77 GHz is fabricated to validate the theoretical predictions.

본 논문에서는 초광대역의 저지대역과 우수한 cutoff 특성을 가지는 새로운 저역통과 필터를 제안하였다. 우수한 cutoff특성을 얻기 위해 여러단을 배열하는 기존이 저역통과 필터의 단점을 극복하기 위해 두 개방 스터브 사이의 커플링 효과를 이용하였고, 접지면에 슬롯을 형성하여 고주파 부분에서의 저지대역 특성을 개선하였다. 제작한 저역통과 필터는 19.2 ㎜ × 14.9 ㎜ 의 크기로 통과대역에서의 삽입손실은 -0.15 dB 이하이며 1.1 ㎓에서 -3 dB의 차단주파수를 가진다. 저지대역폭은 삽입손실 -20 dB를 기준으로 1.5 ㎓에서 30 ㎓ 이상의 광대역을 이루어 기존 저역통과 필터의 저지대역폭을 획기적으로 증가시켰다.

본 논문에서는 넓은 저지대역과, 저지대역내에 결함 모드를 포함할 수 있는 포토닉 밴드갭(PBG) 구조에 관하여 연구하였다. PBG 구조에서 λg/4 변환기를 이용하여 주기적인 저지대역 중에서 특정 저지대역을 제거할 수 있었으며, 제거된 저지대역의 중심주파수에 해당하는 주기를 가지는 일반적인 PBG 구조를 직렬로 연결함으로써 넓은 저지대역을 구현하였다. 이것은 저지대역의 겹침 문제를 효과적으로 해결한 것으로써 넓은 저지대역 안에서 결함 모드를 이용할 수 있게 되었으며, 넓은 저지대역내에서 다중 스위치의 구현을 가능하게 하였다.

A novel microstrip low-pass filter is presented to achieve an ultra-wide stopband with 11 harmonic suppression and very sharp skirt characteristics. The filter is composed of a modified U-shaped resonator (which creates two fully adjustable transmission zeroes), a T-shaped resonator (which determines a cut-off frequency), and four radial stubs (which provide a wider stopband). The operating mechanism of the filter is investigated based on a proposed equivalent-circuit model, and the role of each section of the proposed filter in creating null points is theoretically discussed in detail. The presented filter with 3 dB cut-off frequency ($f_c=2.35GHz$) has been fabricated and measured. Results show that a relative stopband bandwidth of 164% (referred to as a 22 dB suppression) is obtained while achieving a high figure-of-merit of 15,221.

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.

This paper presents a simple and effective method for improving stopband rejection characteristics of previously studied dual-band filters. Small electric couplings were applied to the symmetrically positioned shunt resonators, which divided each transmission zero into two transmission zeros without any effect on passbands. We were able to achieve improved stopband rejection characteristics by these additional transmission zeros. For the filter application, we designed a dual-band filter with improved stopband characteristics using microstrip quasi-lumped elements. The electric couplings that control the location of transmission zeros are controlled by the distance between symmetric open stubs of the filter. The filter was fabricated with a relative dielectric constant of 3.5 and a thickness of 0.76 mm. The fabricated filter has a small size ($14.6{\times}13.2{\times}0.76$ mm) and a low insertion loss when compared with conventional filters.

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.

A new CAD program for double E-plane bandpass filters is developed based on the variational analysis method and the passband correction method combined with the synthesis procedures. By taking the widths of three narrow waveguide equally, we can design bandpass filters with best stopband characteristics.
