Abstract In this paper, a ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with stopband characteristics is presented using a multi-mode resonator (MMR) technique. An MMR is formed by loading three dumbbell-shaped (Mickey and circular) shunt stubs placed in the center and two symmetrical locations from ports, respectively. Three circular and arrowhead defected ground structures on the ground plane are introduced to achieve UWB bandwidth with a better roll-off rate. The proposed filter exhibits stopband characteristics from 10.8 to 20 GHz with a 0.4 dB return loss. The group delay and roll-off rate of the designed filter are <0.30 ns in the passband and 16 dB/GHz at lower and higher cut-off frequencies, respectively. The dimension of the filter is 0.74λg × 0.67λg mm2 and was fabricated on a cost-effective substrate. All simulated results are verified through the experimental results.

This letter presents a new compact multi-mode filtering power divider (FPD) design based on co-shared FPD topology with sharp frequency selectivity, improved out-of-band harmonic rejection and port-to-port isolation. Power splitting and quasi-elliptic filtering functions are achieved by masterly integrating only one triple-mode resonator. By loading different open-circuited stubs at the input/output ports, multiple additional transmission zeros (TZs) are generated at both lower and upper stopband, resulting in an improved stopband performance. Meanwhile, a better port-to-port isolation is obtained by adopting frequency-dependent resistor-capacitor parallel isolation network. The proposed multi-mode FPD design stands out from those in the literature by both nice operation performance and compact topology with only one resonator. For demonstration purposes, one triple-mode FPD prototype and its improved one are implemented, respectively. Measured results exhibit the superiority of the FPD design.


In this paper, an interdigital coupled microstrip bandpass filter incorporated with shorted stub multi-mode resonator at ultra-wideband spectrum is presented. Proposed filter is characterized by its ultra compactness achieved through multi-mode resonator. The proposed filter is incorporated with interdigitated transmission line based on Lange Coupler topology. This structure enhances capacitive coupling between feed line and MMR which improves lower frequency selectivity of BPF. The parameters viz. fractional bandwidth of 105%, return loss above 20 dB and insertion loss below 1 dB at centre frequency of 4.875 GHz are recorded. The bandwidth of the filter is measured to be 5.15 GHz (2.3 to 7.45 GHz). The filter shows good linearity with its group delay recorded 0.2 ns with small variations of 0.1 ns at maximum in its passband. The compactness of proposed filter makes it suitable for various modern wireless applications.
