A wide-spread test of the PLL FM demodulator under Gaussian modulation is simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Unified noise-free and noise performance analyses of the PLL FM demodulator are presented. Substantial reduction of the modulation limit by the input bandpass filter is reported in the region of the input bandwidth of practical interest. Bessel bandpass filters of order greater than...

A stepped impedance resonator (SIR) based wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with a good rejection level in the extended upper stopband is presented in this article. The proposed SIR is found to have the ability to introduce two transmission poles in the passband. By appropriately selecting the impedance ratio and length ratio (α) of the SIRs, the BPF can provide a wide passband and a sharp rejecti...

This paper addresses a modified bandpass ring resonator filter providing compact size, low insertion-loss, wide bandwidth, sharp rejection and suppressed higher order modes. The filter enhancement follows a threefold approach. First, UC-PBG structures are used to suppress the higher order passbands yielding an upper stopband that reaches 4.7 GHz, beside offering a further advantage in terms of ...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a planar array of optical bandpass filters composed of low loss dielectric metasurface layers sandwiched between two distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). The two DBRs form a Fabry-Pérot resonator whose center wavelength is controlled by the design of the transmissive metasurface layer which functions as a phase shifting element. We demonstrate an array ...

Miniaturized Ultra-Wideband (UWB) microstrip bandpass filter with wide passband is presented. The filter is developed based on modified multiple mode resonator, which is formed by transversely attaching three pairs of non-uniform and folded stubs with lowpass and highpass sections. Both sides of high-impedance section are linked with two feed lines via direct coupled lines, resulting UWB bandpa...

Bandpass filters with an optimal rejection bandwidth are designed using parallel-coupled stepped impedance resonators (SIRs). The fundamental ( ) and higher order resonant harmonics of an SIR are analyzed against the length ratio of the highand lowsegments. It is found that an optimal length ratio can be obtained for each highto lowimpedance ratio to maximize the upper rejection bandwidth. A ta...

In this paper, we analyze the stability of the sinusoidal responses of second order interpolative marginally stable bandpass sigma delta modulators (SDMs) with the sum of the numerator and denominator polynomials equal to one and explore new results on the more general second order interpolative marginally stable bandpass SDMs. These results can be further extended to the high order interpolati...
