AbstractIn this paper, a miniaturized dual-band bandpass filter (DB-BPF) using embedded dual-mode resonator (DMR) with controllable bandwidths is proposed. Two passbands are generated by two sets of resonators operating at two different frequencies. One set of resonators is utilized not only as the resonant elements that yield the lower passband, but also as the feeding structures with source-load coupling to excite the other to produce the upper passband. Sufficient degrees of freedom are achieved to control the center frequencies and bandwidths of two passbands. Moreover, multiple transmission zeros (TZs) are created to improve the passband selectivity of the filter. The design of the filter has been demonstrated by the measurement. The filter features not only miniaturized circuit sizes, low insertion loss, independently controllable central frequencies, but also controllable bandwidths and TZs.

AbstractAn improved feedline configuration for dual-mode resonator filter is investigated in this paper. Based on the introduced topology, a dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter with center frequencies of 1.8 and 2.4 GHz is optimally designed, fabricated and tested. The introduced dual-band bandpass filter has simple structure and enables high selectivity to be realized due to two pairs of transmission zeros located near to the lower and upper passband, respectively. Both measured and simulated performances are presented with good consistency.

Abstract A new design approach for a stepped impedance resonator (SIR) dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with high multi-spurious suppression is proposed in this paper. The external coupling property of an SIR at multi-order resonant frequencies is fully studied. Different input impedances at desired frequencies are achieved by optimizing the unequal impedance transformer. The new solution shows the freedom in the choice of tapping point. The external quality values of multi-order harmonics vary with the shift of the tapping position. Wide upper stop-band rejection is realized by mismatching Qe at the unwanted harmonic frequencies, while keeping the Qe suitable for operating dual band to obtain good in-band performance. A traditional dual-band BPF and a novel practical BPF operated at 2.45/5.25 GHz are designed and fabricated to demonstrate the above idea. Good simulated and measured results are presented.

Abstract This work presents an approach to developing dual-mode dual-band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter based on multilayer process. TE102/TE201 and TE101/TE102 modes are used to feature the two passbands, respectively. To begin with, large range of band location ratios are decided by the effective dimension of the SIW resonator. With reference to the field distribution, independent coupling schemes of the dual-modes are then realized by slots or circular apertures etched on the middle metal layer. It allows to not only introduce a large design freedom of bandwidth but also keep compactness. Finally, source-load and mixed couplings are deployed to produce transmission zeros around the passband in providing a sharp selectivity in the two filters, respectively. The details to independently control the center frequencies and bandwidth of two passbands are also presented. A two-order double-layered and a triple-layered SIW dual-band bandpass filter are prototyped to evaluate the proposed design approach, respectively. Results show a good agreement between simulations and measurements. The proposed filter exhibits flexible design freedom, high selectivity as well as good out-of-band rejection.
