A single stage quadrature hybrid coupler with enhanced flat balance over a wide bandwidth is presented in this article. The present coupler is realized by replacing the transmission line sections of the conventional two-branch coupler by their equivalent parallel coupled microstrip lines (PCML). The impedance controlled wide-bandpass response produced by the PCML is utilized to achieve flat bal...

In this paper one coplanar wide band bandpass filter (BPF) is designed with end-coupled λ/4 open-stub resonator. This coplanar waveguide (CPW) BPF is designed for passband centre frequency 2.5GHz and 100% fractional bandwidth (FBW) at 3dB. The proposed structure exhibits negligible passband insertion loss, sharp transition from passband to stopband, wide attenuation bandwidth, simple fabricatio...

a compact and sharp-rejection ultra-wideband (uwb) microstrip bandpass filter (bpf) is presented. the proposed filter is constructed with multiple-mode resonator (mmr) and split ring resonator (srr). moreover, proposed structure consists of two doublets parallel coupling gaps at each side of a microstrip ring. in comparison with some other filters, this structure shows a significantly wider pas...

in this paper we introduce a simple, computationally inxepentsive, adaptive recursive structure for enhancing bandpass signals highly corrupted by broad-band noise. this adaptive algorithm, enhancing input signals, enables us to estimate the center frequency and the bandwidth of the input signal. in addition, an important feature of the proposed structure is that the conventional bias existing ...

─ This paper presents a novel miniaturized parallel coupled-line bandpass filter by etching some slot resonators on the strip for suppressing the first spurious response. These slots perform a serious LC resonance property in certain frequency and suppress the spurious signals. By properly tuning these slot dimensions, multiple closed notches can be generated in the vicinity of spurious harmoni...
