One compact microstrip low-pass filter using conventional elliptical headed dumbbell shaped

In this work, we are interesting in the analysis and the design of an ultra wideband (UWB) band pass filter with improved upper stop band performances, using microstrip lines. The design of the UWB band pass filter is based on the use of stepped-impedance low pass filter and high pass filter; whereas the simulation of its frequency response ([S]) is done using MATPAR software and it is based on...

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 ...

In this paper an Artificial neural network (ANN) design technique for a Stub Microstrip Band-pass filter is presented. Essential dimensions of the microstrip filter layout are used to get the relationship in the inputoutputs of ANN model. This paper presents the design and analysis of Stub Microstrip Band-pass Filter at midband frequency 1.8 GHz which gives improved bandwidth and minimum insert...

Fractal geometries are found attractive to designers seeking for compact size microwave circuits and antennas. In this paper, Peano fractal based open-loop resonators are adopted to design dual-band microstrip band-stop filters (PSFs). The suggested filter structure is essentially based on that of the conventional open-loop rectangular microstrip resonators. The resonators of the proposed PSF s...

A new type of compact microstrip line photonic band gap(PBG) structure employing T-type microstrip line for filter is presented. A miniature band rejection filter with four cells is simulated, fabricated, and measured. The filter with four proposed PBG structure exhibits band rejection characteristics (lower than -10dB from 23GHz~32GHz). The center frequency of stop-band is at 28GHz. The period...

This article presents an analysis of metamaterial resonators coupled with microstrip transmission line. The behavior of complementary electric-LC resonators loaded on a microstrip line is analyzed using the equivalent circuit model. In this paper, it is shown that a special type of these resonators show a dual-mode behavior when excited through the electromagnetic field around the microstrip tr...

This paper presents a symmetric-type microstrip triple-band bandstop filter incorporating a tri-section meandered-line stepped impedance resonator (SIR). The length of each section of the meandered line is 0.16, 0.15, and 0.83 times the guided wavelength (λ g ), so that the filter features three stop bands at 2.59 GHz, 6.88 GHz, and 10.67 GHz, respectively. Two symmetric SIRs are employed with ...

In this decade, compact bandpass filters are essential components in microwave systems for passing desired signals and suppressing unwanted signals. Microstrip bandpass filter is rapidly going up in the design and fabrication in RF front-ends of wireless communication systems. The microstrip structure is well-known because of its light weight and simple design method. As knowing, the bandpass f...

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of about % 110 is presented using the hybrid microstrip-defected-ground structure (DGS). The proposed filter was designed using a combination of hybrid microstrip-defected-ground structure lowpass filter (LPF) with typical quarter-wavelength short-circuited stubs highpass filter (HPF), followed by an optimizati...
