Abstract—A novel low-pass filter (LPF) is designed and fabricated based on stepped-impedance resonator (SIR). Semi-circles are used to reduce the size of the filter. The open-circuited stubs are used in the filter, and its simplified equivalent circuit is also proposed. The measured 3 dB cutoff frequency is 5.2GHz with no more than 0.3 dB ripple level in the pass-band. From 5.5 to 14 GHz, the i...

Design of a compact microstrip band reject filter is proposed. The device consists of an Open Loop Rectangular Resonator (OLRR) coupled to a microstrip line. The transmission line has a Ubend which enhances the coupling with the OLRR element and reduces the size of the filter. The filter can be made tunable by mounting variable capacitance to the system. Simulated and experimental results are p...

Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filters have been widely used in optical fiber communications, and insertion loss (IL) is one of its important characteristics. Based on theoretically analysis, factors related to IL were discussed. In order to investigate the IL of different structures, simulations are carried out with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. Comparisons are made between the opti...

A compact narrowband non-degenerate dual-mode microstrip filter with square shape cuts is presented. The structure is developed by loading the conventional non-degenerate dual-mode resonator by open circuit stubs at two opposite corners. The filter bandwidth is controlled by only decreasing the higher cutoff frequency of the conventional type. With Square shape cuts, return loss is improved. A ...

The adopts triangular HMSIW cavity cut along diagonal rectangle. By etching two dual-mode resonators, resonant resonator is coupled with odd-even to achieve multiple passbands. defected ground structure (DGS) can reduce resonance frequency without incr...

In this paper, a new method for obtaining a time-frequency representation of instantaneous frequency is introduced. A Kalman filter serves for dissociation of signal into modes with well defined instantaneous frequency. A second order resonator model is used as a model of signal components – ‘monocomponent functions’. Simultaneously, the Kalman filter estimates the time-varying signal component...

Two compact and low loss dual-mode filters are proposed by using degenerate modes of slotted triangular microstrip patch resonators. The geometrical size and radiation loss of the triangular patch are reduced simultaneously by loading both horizontal and vertical slots. The resonant frequencies of two degenerate modes can be easily controlled by varying the dimensions and positions of the slots...

Hexagonal dual-mode cavity and its application to substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter are presented. The hexagonal SIW resonator which can combine flexibility of rectangular cavity and performance of circular cavity is convenient for dual-mode bandpass filters design. By introducing coupling between source and load, the filter not only has good selectivity due to two controllable transm...

This paper illustrates a filter configuration which uses a single ring resonator of larger radius connected to a grating resonator at its drop port to achieve single wavelength selectivity and switching property with spectral features suitable for on-chip wavelength selection applications. The proposed configuration is expected to find applications in silicon photonics devices such as, on-chip ...

Three dual-mode band-pass filters are presented in the present paper. The first filter is realized by dual-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity; the second is based on the integration of SIW cavity with electromagnetic band gap (EBG); and the third is based on the integration of SIW cavity with complementary split ring resonator (CSRR). The dual-mode SIW cavity is designed to have a...
