A new microstrip balun bandpass filter (BPF) with wide stopband is presented. It is realized by utilizing the out-of-phase feature of standing-wave distribution on a half-wavelength (λ/2) open-ended microstrip line and the resonant characteristics of the triple-mode resonators. For demonstration, a prototype balun BPF operating at central frequency (f0) of 2.34 GHz with fractional bandwidth (FBW) of about 16.7% is designed. The presented balun BPF not only exhibits nice balanced response with 0.47 dB magnitude imbalance and 4.3° phase difference but also achieves 30-dB harmonic suppression up to 6.40 GHz (2.7f0). Afterward, this presented design is embedded into a balanced quasi-Yagi antenna to obtain high-selective radiation and wide stopband rejection. Experimental results of the implemented antenna indicate less than −10 dB reflection coefficient, 4.49–5.38 dBi gain, and 12.71–19.62 dB front-to-back ratio within the operating bandwidth.

In this paper, a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter is designed. The proposed filter which is etched on the 50 Ω microstrip line consists of four non-uniform 1-D microstrip photonic bandgap (PBG) cells with different cutoff frequency.. The demonstration lowpass filter with 2.2 GHz cutoff frequency is designed, fabricated and measured. The measurement results show that the band rejection effect is better than -20 dB from 2.8 GHz to 10 GHz, the insertion is less than 2 dB, and the length of filter is 5.6 cm long. Compared with the conventional filter, the proposed filter has smaller size. Meanwhile, it overcomes the problems of narrow stop-band and low harmonic suppression. Furthermore, the impedance matching is not need to be considered. This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text.
