To Optimally Design Microstrip Nonuniform Transmission Lines as Lowpass Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is proposed to optimally design the Microstrip Nonuniform Transmission Line (MNTLs) as lowpass filters. Some electrical and physical restrictions are used to design MNTLs. To optimally design the MNTLs, their strip width is expanded as truncated Fourier series, firstly. Then, the optimum values of the coefficients of the series are obtained through an optimization approach. The performance of the proposed structure is studied by design and fabrication of two lowpass filters of cutoff frequency 2.0 GHz.

Microstrip Lowpass Filters with Reduced Size and Improved Stopband Characteristics
Novel microstrip lowpass filters are developed with reduced size and significantly improved stopband characteristics. After introducing quarter-wavelength open stubs, we get one or two transmission zeros in the stopband. By folding the high impedance microstrip lines, we reduce the size of the filter. Three-pole and five-pole lowpass filters are designed, and their measured frequency responses ...
