UWB technology- (operating in broad frequency range of 3.1–10.6 GHz) based filter with WLAN notch has shown great achievement for high-speed wireless communications. To satisfy the UWB system requirements, a band pass filter with a broad pass band width, low insertion loss, and high stop-band suppression are needed. UWB filter with wireless local area network (WLAN) notch at 5.6 GHz and 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 109.5% using a microstrip structure is presented. Initially a two-transmission-pole UWB band pass filter in the frequency range 3.1–10.6 GHz is achieved by designing a parallel-coupled microstrip line with defective ground plane structure using GML 1000 substrate with specifications: dielectric constant 3.2 and thickness 0.762 mm at centre frequency 6.85 GHz. In this structure aλ/4 open-circuited stub is introduced to achieve the notch at 5.6 GHz to avoid the interference with WLAN frequency which lies in the desired UWB band. The design structure was simulated on electromagnetic circuit simulation software and fabricated by microwave integrated circuit technique. The measured VNA results show the close agreement with simulated results.

Purpose The purpose of the study is – in Microwave filter design, the performances of passive components are deteriorated by parasitics at gigahertz (GHz) frequency range. A compact and multi-stack electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is proposed with improved stop band characteristics at GHz frequency range in this work. This paper proposes a new design for ultra wide band pass filter (resonator BPF) with periodically loaded one-dimensional EBG to achieve the harmonic suppression. This basic EBG structure is developed with combination of a signal strip and ground plane in the slotted section. The resonator BPF is loaded with one EBG, two EBG and three EBGs to improve the stop-band rejection. Design/methodology/approach The proposed filter is with multi-stack EBG cell for achieving good pass band and stop bands performance. Circuit model is analyzed in Section 2. Section 3 discuses band pass filter loaded with one EBG. In Sections 4 and 5, filter with two and three EBG loaded resonators are discussed, respectively. Section 6 is concluded with comparison of simulation and measured results. Findings The stop-band rejection is 20 dB, 40 dB and 50 dB, respectively, in the frequency range of 6 GHz to 20 GHz. The simulation analysis is carried out with advanced system design software. To validate the simulation results, proposed structure is fabricated, and results are found to be in good agreement. Originality/value This paper accounts for designing resonator BPF, which has slow wave pass band and stop band characteristics. Second and third harmonics are suppressed using multi-stack EBG. Various stacks with basic designs are proposed and improved results have been demonstrated which is open for future research.

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.

This paper presents a novel, control parameter independent evolutionary search technique known as Seeker Optimization Algorithm (SOA) for the design of a eighth order Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Band Pass (BP) filter. A new fitness function has also been adopted in this paper to improve the stop band attenuation to a great extent. The performance of the SOA based IIR BP filter design has proven to be much superior as compared to those obtained by real coded genetic algorithm (RGA) and standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) in terms of highest sharpness at cut-off, smallest pass band ripple, highest stop band attenuation, smallest stop band ripple and also the fastest convergence speed with assured stability recognized by the pole-zero analysis of the designed optimized IIR filter.

AbstractThe design of a circular-shaped differential wideband band pass filter (BPF) is described. The proposed filter is compact and provides good common mode (CM) suppression. It consists of four ports with a circular-shaped differential mode (DM). The analysis of the filter has been carried out by bisecting it into identical two-port networks along the symmetry plane, resulting in a band stop or band pass response under CM or DM excitations, respectively. The length and width of the stubs can be tuned to obtain the desired pass band and stop band of the differential BPF. The proposed design is fabricated and measured. The results obtained using measurements are in close agreement with those obtained using simulations.

AbstractWe present a new ultra-wideband (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) configuration with a stepped impedance short-circuited stub (SISS)-loaded triple-mode resonator (TMR) and stepped impedance radial stub (SIRS). The novel SISS-loaded TMR and SIRS improve the roll-off ratio at both ends. Even though this UWB BPF is based on a single resonator, the measured results show excellent in-band performance with a small insertion loss less than 0.6 dB and return loss greater than −16 dB. The proposed UWB BPF has sharp roll-off ratio of 96 and 43 dB/GHz, respectively, at the lower and upper edges of the pass-band, and a wide stop-band from 10.8 to 15.6 GHz with the rejection greater than 20 dB.

AbstractIn this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) with a sharp notch band is presented. The UWB BPF consists of modified elliptical-ring and multi-mode stub-loaded resonator (MM-SLR). By adding the asymmetric tight coupled lines resonator via input/output (I/O) lines, it can be achieved UWB band-pass response. With adding two bends to the middle resonator, a notch band at 6.86 GHz is created, so that it can be controlled using the mathematical formulas (MF). In the meantime, the equivalent circuit of the middle resonator is obtained using L–C analysis. Measured results of fabricated filter have the advantage such as ultra-wide pass band (flandfHof the defined UWB pass band are 3.776 and 10.42 GHz, which satisfy the requirements of FCC-specified UWB limits), compact size, low insertion loss <0.65 dB and the stop band of the proposed filter is from 11.1 to 16.32 GHz with attenuation of −39.8 to −42.14 dB, respectively. The proposed UWB filter is realized using the substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2 and substrate height of 0.787 mm. Experimental verification is provided and good agreement has been found between simulation and measurement results.

Step-impedance resonators and step-impedance capacitor coupling pads are introduced to microstrip band-pass filters to suppress spurious stop-band responses up to the ninth order, thereby providing a very wide stop band. Combined with improvements in existing suppression techniques, the overall suppression in one of the filters, with 1 GHz center frequency and 42% bandwidth, is −54 dB, up to 8.9 GHz. By also using suitably placed resistors, spurious levels are now depressed to −67 dB up to 8.8 GHz, with only 0.03 dB extra pass-band loss.
