A microstrip lowpass filter based on transmission line elements for UWB medical applications is proposed in this paper. The filter is constructed of two symmetric shunt open-circuited stubs and three series unit elements. The filter is designed to exhibit an elliptic function response with equal ripple in the passband and the rejection band. A prototype is successfully designed, fabricated, and measured, where a good agreement is attained. The filter shows a high filtering selectivity and an ultra-wide stopband up to 20 GHz with an attenuation level of more than 20-dB. The filter is compact and has a low insertion loss and an ultra-wideband (UWB) rejection which makes it attractive for many technologies such as UWB medical applications.

AbstractA novel lowpass filter with wide stopband and sharp skirt characteristics is proposed. To obtain the applicable lowpass filter, several cells of coupled T-shaped resonator, U-shape and dumbbell-shaped resonators are connected in series. The proposed filter has low insertion loss, high return loss in the passband and wide stopband. The transition band is from 3.18 to 3.29 GHz with −3 and −20 dB, respectively. Results of the fabricated filter exhibit a roll-off and relative stopband bandwidth of 217 and 137%, respectively. Measurement and simulation results show good agreement.

The proposed filter has −3 dB cut off frequency at 2.6 GHz. The maximum insertion loss is only 0.1 dB in the passband and the rejection band extends from 2.89 to 20.84 GHz with the attenuation level better than −21 dB. The transition band is only 0.288 GHz, from 2.606 to 2.894 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of −3 and −20 dB, respectively. The filter size is 12.4 × 11.5 mm2. The proposed filter is fabricated and tested, where the measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results. The proposed LPF has compact size, simple structure, wide rejection band, and low insertion loss, where all of these characteristics are essential for LPF in the modern communication circuits.

AbstractThis contribution presents, for the first time, the design of microwave lowpass filter with ultrawide stopband and low insertion loss based on the log-periodic zig-zag defected ground structure (DGS); the design is specifically evolved from the principle of the log-periodic line antenna and the slotline based DGS. Based on the log-periodic property, studies show that ultra-wideband suppression can be realized by increasing the flare angle or the angle subtended by each element of the slotline DGS. The developed filter therefore shows low insertion loss of 0.7 dB within the passband, sharp transition between the passband and the stopband and ultra-wide suppression band from 2.61-26.5 GHz with a 20 dB suppression level. The DGS architecture is simple and easy to realize, and the design is thus useful in many microwave applications. The fabricated prototype filter validates the study, both from simulations and from measurements.

In this paper, a low pass filter based on T-Shaped resonator is presented. The T-Shaped resonator consists of meandered lines and rectangular patches. Also, the LC model and transfer function of the proposed resonator is presented. For suppression of spurious harmonics, a bandstop structure consists of hexangular patches and open stubs has been utilized. Finally, the wide stopband microstrip lowpass filter with cutoff frequency 2.72 GHz has been simulated, fabricated and measured. The LPF has good characteristics such as wide stopband and insertion loss lower than 0.18 dB in the passband region. The rejection level is less than -20 dB from 2.98 up to 21.3 GHz. The filter size is 10.5 mm×12.7 mm, or 0.131 λ<sub>g</sub>× 0.158 λ<sub>g</sub>, where λ<sub>g</sub> is the guided wavelength. The measured and simulated results of the filter is in good agreement with each other, which show the merits of low insertion loss and wide stopband.

The paper presents a design of rectangular waveguide-SIW transition, which provides a broadband and low insertion loss performance. The broadband transition is realized by using double-rhombus antenna probe inserted into rectangular metal waveguide. The transition is simulated and measured at 9-20GHz. The measured results show that a good agreement with simulation and an insertion loss less than 2.8 dB and a return loss better than 10 dB are obtained at 10–18.5 GHz for a back-to-back structure.

In this paper, a compact microstrip bandpass filter is designed using two open loop resonators. In order to obtain a tunable bandpass response with low insertion loss, two stubs are loaded inside them. The design process is based on obtaining the input admittance. Then, using the input admittance, a method is presented to control the resonance frequency and miniaturization simultaneously. The obtained insertion loss and the return loss at the resonance frequency are 0.1 dB and 19.7 dB respectively. To verify the design method, the proposed filter is fabricated and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results.
