Dual mode wideband band-pass filter with notched band for communication system

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

This paper presents a planar microstrip wideband dual mode Band-Pass Filter (BPF) from 2 GHz to 3.4 GHz with a notched band at 2.62 GHz. The dual mode band-pass filter consists of a ring resonator with two quarter-wavelength open-circuited stubs at Φ =90° and Φ =0°, respectively. A square perturbation stub has been put at the corner of the ring resonator to increase the narrow stopbands and improve the performance of selectivity. By using a parallel-coupled feed line, a narrow notched band is introduced at the required frequency and its Fractional BandWidth (FBW) is about 5%. The proposed filter has a narrow notched band and a wide pass-band with a sharp cutoff frequency characteristic, the attenuation rate for the sharp cutoff frequency responses is 297.17 dB/GHz (calculated from 1.959 GHz with −34.43 dB to 2.065 GHz with −2.93 dB) and 228.10 dB/GHz (calculated from 3.395 GHz with −2.873 dB to 3.507 GHz with −28.42 dB). This filter has the advantages of good insertion loss in both operating bands and two rejections of greater than 16 dB in the range of 1.59 GHz to 1.99 GHz and 3.49 GHz to 3.98 GHz. Having been presented in this article, the measurement results agree well with the simulation results, which validates our idea.
