Abstract In this letter, a miniaturized Band Pass Filter (BPF) with wide stopband centered at 0.350 GHz for TETRA band applications is proposed using a Spiral Short Circuit quarter wavelength Stepped Impedance Resonator (SSC-SIR) and a stub loaded on feed line for enhancement of rejection level in the stopband. Spiral configuration of the resonator is used for the miniaturization of BPF. The proposed BPF provides a 3dB fractional bandwidth of 13.7 % with two transmission zeros in the lower and upper stopband to provide good selectivity and four transmission zeros which provide wide stopband upto 6.86f0. Proposed BPF has a very compact size of 0.064λg×0.062λg.

This article describes the analysis and design of the excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filters using a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filters have been analyzed in terms of their physical length by using commercially available electromagnetic full-wave simulation software (CST microwave studio). The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonator-based band-pass filter using a MIM waveguide have been realized at the optical O (1260–1360 nm) and U (1625–1675 nm) bands, respectively, as it has dual-band characteristics. The excitation schemes of the plasmonic angular ring resonators have been designed and simulated to determine the variation in transmission and reflection coefficients. The magnetic field distribution of the proposed filters was observed. The ring resonators require low power and had a compact size, which was further used for the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The applications of these resonators are further extended and they are used in the development of antennas, branch line couplers, directional couplers and diplexers.

For highly reliable and compact communication of front-end modules, a miniaturized reflectionless band-pass filter, based on the GaAs integrated passive device (IPD) process, is proposed in this work. The stop-band signal absorption rate of the filter can reach more than 90% and greatly reduce the influence of electromagnetic interference for sensitive devices. First, a circuit topology of reflectionless filter is proposed. Then, the miniaturized reflectionless band-pass filter is designed and fabricated based on GaAs IPD process with a compact size of only 0.85 mm × 1.33 mm × 0.09 mm (0.011λ × 0.018λ × 0.001λ). The filter operates at frequency ranging from 3.3 GHz to 4.5 GHz for 5G communication, the insertion loss (S21) is less than 3 dB, the return loss in the passband (S11) is over 15 dB, the stopband return loss (S11) is over 10 dB, and the out-of-band suppression (S21) reached 19 dB. All the measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results. It shows great potential in the process of designing highly reliable and compact monolithic integrated wireless modules and wearable electronics.

This paper includes two new microstrip filter configurations for high frequency and Ultra-Wide Band applications. The first proposed filter is a composition of four parallel open-circuited stubs connected by optimized fractal-structured microstrip line. The filter response is a combination of three passing regions, namely low pass from 0.1 GHz to 3 GHz, band-pass from 4.5 GHz to 9 GHz and high pass from 10.5 GHz to 13 GHz, separated by two rejection regions from 3 GHz to 4.5 GHz and 9 GHz to 10.5 GHz. Deep and sharp rejection regions reaching up to -44.6 dB with 40 % fractional bandwidth (FBW) are observed with a good electrical performance. Furthermore, with a comparative table, the advantages of this proposed BSF in terms of FBW, compactness and insertion loss are compared with recently reported related studies. Secondly a dual-band band pass filter implementing a Stepped-Impedance resonator (SIR) and a modified H-shaped structure is presented. This filter is designed to operate in a low pass region up to 3.58 GHz and a band pass region from 15.38 to 21.65 GHz, with a wide stopband region between 4.46 and 14.07 GHz. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement. Compared to its peers, the compact size and low price allow for a wide application of these filter configurations, while passing frequencies allow operation in the unlicensed frequency spectrum, which is popular for high-speed communication. Keywords: Microstrip Filter, Band Pass, Band Stop, Open Stubs, SIR.

Two dual-band second-order highly selective band pass filters operated at 3.5/5.5 GHz and 3.5/6 GHz for wireless local area network /worldwide interoperability for microwave access WLAN/WiMAX applications are introduced in this paper. The designed filters are inspired of utilizing two coupled open-loop resonators loaded with stub, spiral resonators and lumped capacitors. The filters are designed based on calculating the desired coupling matrix and the external quality factor. The first and the second filters are designed at the fundamental mode of 3.5 GHz then the first filter is loaded with two spiral resonators in the microstrip line to produce the desired band stop behaviour, which in turn achieves the second pass-band. However, the second band of the second filter is achieved by loading the stub with the lumped capacitors, which controls the second mode. The centre frequency of the second band is adjusted by varying the lumped capacitors values. The two designed filters have insertion loss less than 0.7 dB in the pass-band region, high selectivity with more than 4 transmission zeros and more than 20 dB attenuation level in the stop band region. The suggested filter has compact size and high selectivity with tunability behavior. The two filters are fabricated and measured to validate the simulated results.

In order to provide an efficient, low cost, and small size radiating structure that passes a certain frequency band with negligible amount of interference, the combination of filters and antennas is proposed to form a single element called filtenna. This paper presents a filtenna element with compact size that can radiates in the 5G mid-band frequency range (3.6-3.8 GHz) and perfectly rejects all the frequencies outside this range. The filtenna is composed of a printed circuit antenna that is terminated with a crescent shaped stub that is coupled electromagnetically with a miniaturized sharp band-pass filter. The simulation results show a filtenna reflection coefficient with a reduced value within the intended 5G band and with high values along the other unwanted frequencies. Moreover, the structure has an omnidirectional pattern with reasonable gain value within the band of interest, and this makes the antenna very suitable for portable 5G devices.
