Abstract:

  In this paper, a microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband with sharp roll-off and compact size is designed and fabricated. To provide a very small dimension, T-shaped and stepped impedance have been used. The cut of frequency at -3 dB is 3.1 GHz. In the proposed structure, insertion loss is less than 0.12 and return loss is more than 15 dB. To achieve a -20dB attenuation level in the stopband, modified L-shaped structure is utilized. This filter has an ultra-wide stopband that is expanded from 3.37 GHz to 37.5 GHz also the suppression level is greater than -20dB. The size of the fabricated LPF is about 16.6 * 13.5 mm2 which corresponds to an electrical of 0.28ƛg * 0.22ƛg, where ƛg is the guided wavelength at 3.1 GHz, which is very small. The proposed filter is designed, simulated, optimized, fabricated and measured. There is good agreement between the simulated and measured results.

Compact Microstrip Lowpass Filter with Sharp Roll-off and Wide Stopband Using Semicircle Ended Stub Resonator

In this paper, a semicircle ended stub resonator, cascaded to a modified radial patch to design a compact lowpass filter with sharp roll-off and wide stopband is proposed. This filter has 3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.54 GHz. The transition band is only 0.26GHz from 1.54 GHz to 1.8 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of −3 dB and −20 dB respectively. Maximum insertion loss is 0.1 dB in the p...

Compact and Wide Stopband Lowpass Filter Using Open Complementary Split Ring Resonator and Defected Ground Structure

A compact (0.16 g × 0.08 g) and wide stopband lowpass filter design using open complementary split ring resonator (OCSRR) and defected ground structure (DGS) is presented in this paper. Low pass filter is constructed using two cascaded stages of OCSRR. Since the rejection bandwidth of the OCSRR is narrow, tapered dumbbell shaped DGS section is placed under the OCSRR to enhance the bandwidth. Th...
