A dual-band bandpass-bandpass microstrip diplexer with very small size and good performance is designed in this work. The proposed diplexer has a novel structure which is introduced for the first time in this paper. In comparison with the previously reported diplexers, it occupies the most compact size of 0.002 λg2 (226.7 mm2), fabricated on 0.787 mm dielectric substrate height. The resonance frequencies of the presented diplexer are located at 0.76 GHz and 1.79 GHz making it suitable for the global system for mobile communications (GSM) applications. It has a wide flat channels with two fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 41.1% and 50%. Another feature of the proposed diplexer is its ability to suppress the harmonics. It can attenuate the 1st to 7th harmonics. Moreover, it has low insertion losses and low group delays at both channels while the isolation and return losses are acceptable. Finally, the proposed diplexer is fabricated and measured to verify the simulation results, where a good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is obtained.

Design, fabrication and measurement of a high-selectivity dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter are presented in this paper. The resonance frequencies of the filter are 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz which are generated by a meander-loop resonator and a square-loop resonator. The two dual-mode single-band-loop resonators are stacked on each other and create a dual-band bandpass filter. Some advantages of our design are compact size, high selectivity, low loss and also no dependence of two bands, resonance frequencies on each other. The measurement results exhibit that the minimum insertion losses are 0.19[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 0.32[Formula: see text]dB for 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz. Moreover return losses are better than 43.2[Formula: see text]dB and 40.6[Formula: see text]dB for 1.8[Formula: see text]GHz and 2.4[Formula: see text]GHz, respectively. The proposed filter has a size of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm2. This microstrip filter is fabricated on RT/Duroid6010 substrate with dielectric constant 10.8 and thickness 1.27[Formula: see text]mm and its equivalent circuit is also offered.

Abstract A compact coplanar waveguide-fed monopole antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is composed of three monopole branches. In order to achieve the miniaturization, the longest branch was bent.

The multiband antenna covers five frequency bands: 820–990 MHz, 1.87–2.08 GHz, 2.37–2.93 GHz, 3.98–4.27 GHz, and 5.47–8.9 GHz, which covers the entire radio frequency identification bands (860–960 MHz, 2.4–2.48 GHz, and 5.725–5.875 GHz), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) bands (890–960 MHz and 1.850–1.990 GHz), WLAN bands (2.4–2.484 GHz and 5.725–5.825 GHz), WiMAX band (2.5–2.69 GHz), X-band satellite communication systems (7.25–7.75 GHz and 7.9–8.4 GHz), and sub 6 GHz in 5G mobile communication system (3.3–4.2 GHz and 4.4–5.0 GHz). Also, the antenna has good radiation characteristics in the operating band, which is nearly omnidirectional. Both the simulated and experimental results are presented and compared and a good agreement is established. The proposed antenna operates in five frequency bands with high gain and good radiation characteristics, which make it a suitable candidate in terminal devices with multiple communication standards.

In this paper, a microstrip diplexer composed of two similar resonators is designed. The proposed resonator is consisting of four microstrip cells, which are connected to a coupled lines structure. In order to select a suitable geometric structure, first, all cells are assumed as undefined structures where there is a lack of basic information about their geometry and dimensions. Then, an equivalent LC circuit of the coupled lines is introduced and analyzed to estimate the general structure of the resonator respect to a requested resonance frequency. The proposed diplexer is designed to operate at 2.36 and 4 GHz for wireless applications. The insertion losses (S21 and S31) are decreased significantly at the resonance frequencies, so that they are 0.2 and 0.4 dB at 2.36 and 4 GHz, respectively. The designed diplexer is fabricated and measured and the measurement results are in a good agreement with the simulations.

This paper presents novel low-cost single- and dual-band microstrip patch antennas. The proposed antennas are realized on a square microstrip patch etched symmetrically with four slots. The antenna is designed to have low cost and reduced size to use in Internet of things (IoT) applications. The antennas provide a reconfigurable architecture that allows operation in different wireless communication bands. The proposed structure can be adjusted to operate either in single band or in dual-band operation. Two prototypes are implemented and evaluated. The first structure works at a single resonance frequency (f1 = 2.4 GHz); however, the second configuration works at two resonance frequencies (f1 = 2.4 GHz and f2 = 2.8 GHz) within the same size. These antennas use a low-cost FR-4 dielectric substrate. The 2.4 GHz is allotted for the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, and the 2.8 GHz is allocated to verify the concept and can be adjusted to meet the user’s requirements. The measurement of the fabricated antennas closely matches the simulated results.

A narrowband dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passbands is presented through a systematic design approach. A size-efficient coupling system is proposed with the capability of being integrated with additional resonators without increasing the size of the circuit. Two flag-shaped resonators along with two stepped-impedance resonators are integrated with the coupling system to firstly enhance the quality response of the filter, and secondly to add an independent adjustability feature to the filter. The dual passband of the filter is centered at 4.42 GHz and 7.2 GHz, respectively, with narrow passbands of 2.12% and 1.15%. The lower and upper passbands can be swept independently over 600 MHz and 1000 MHz by changing only one parameter of the filter without any destructive effects on the frequency response. According to United States frequency allocations, the first passband is convenient for mobile communications and the second passband can be used for satellite communications. The filter has very good in- and out-of-band performance with very small passband insertion losses of 0.5 dB and 0.86 dB as well as a relatively strong stopband attenuation of 30 dB and 25 dB, respectively, for the case of lower and upper bands. To verify the proposed approach, a prototype of the filter is fabricated and measured showing a good agreement between numerically calculated and measured results.

This work proposes a compact 3-bit frequency-reconfigurable monopole antenna covering a broad reconfigurable range by inserting a switchable three-line section (STLS). The design starts with a conventional quarter-wavelength monopole line antenna, which is then replaced by a novel structure, the STLS. The STLS is composed of three parallel-connected lines with different lengths. Accordingly, three RF p–i–n diodes are introduced in the STLS to achieve binary reconfiguration. After all parameters of the antenna have been optimized, it will eventually output 2N = 8 (N is the number of switches) independent working states with different equivalent lengths and a reconfigurable working frequency. The number of states in a binary reconfigurable antenna is optimally large in relation to the number of switches used, which means that it can be extremely convenient for digital control of switching all the states and capable of decreasing the number of RF p–i–n diodes we used, thereby minimizing the manufacturing cost and loss of diodes. A prototype antenna is fabricated and tested, and the measurement results agree well with the simulation results, validating the good features, such as a large reconfigurable switchable frequency range from 0.95 GHz to 2.45 GHz with considerable working bandwidth varying from 40 MHz to 540 MHz for each state, simple structure, and a compact size of 70 × 40 mm2, which can be appropriately used for a multi-radio wireless system and handheld devices. All the states have a similar monopole radiation pattern with a good maximum efficiency and an acceptable peak gain according to its compact size.
