UWB-Bandpass Filters with Improved Stopband Performance

Design of a Compact UWB Bandpass Filter using Via-Less CRLH TL

A novel compact ultra wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) based on composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is reported in this paper. The proposed UWB BPF is designed and developed by coupling of two unit-cells of via-less CRLH TL, excited by asymmetrical coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed-line. The unit cell of CRLH TL is designed using series interdigital capacitor (IDC) in shunt ...

A Compact Microstrip Low-Pass Filter Using D-CRLH Transmission Line with Ultra-Wide Stopband and High Selectivity

A novel structure of dual-composite right/lefthanded transmission line (D-CRLH TL) is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The simulated results show that there is a stopband between the first right-handed passband and the left-handed passband of the proposed D-CRLH TL. This stopband characteristic is applied to improve the electromagnetic performances of low-pass filter (LPF). A planar compact...

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Microstrip Bandpass Filter with an Improved Wide Stopband

— In this paper, the ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a wide stopband is presented. The prototype of proposed UWB BPF is by bending the five short-circuited stubs and coupling the I/O feed lines. In order to have a wide stopband, an bandstop structure embedded in input/output (I/O) lines without degrading the passband performances is used. The measured results verified that by us...

Designing of Bandpass Filter using CRLH Transmission Line and Floating slot

This paper presents construction of a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) based bandpass filter using microstrip parallel coupled lines and hairpin lines. For getting high coupling in comparison to conventional edge coupled microstrip line, the floating slot on the ground plane is used. Two configuration named as SOS (short-open-short) the OSO (open-short-open) model are s...
