The low-impedance open-end line of the quarter-wavelength Stepped-Impedance Resonator (SIR) is replaced by two open-end high-impedance lines, which not only facilitate the coupling mechanism but also provide the strong electric coupling between resonators. With the proper utilization of folded SIRs, the occupied area of coupled-resonator pair can be reduced. By applying the proposed coupled-resonator pair, the passband filter with the compact size can be realized. Good agreement between measured and simulated results is observed. The proposed filter is desirable for compact and high-performance microwave circuit applications.展开更多

Transmission zeroes are introduced for the single-band filter by using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators. The single-band filter with high selectivity is centered at 6.02 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth （FBW） of 25.6%. Four stubs （two low frequency and two high frequency ones） are connected to the rectangular patch in the center to construct a quadruple-mode resonator. The independent conditions of the center frequencies of the high and low bands of the resonator are analyzed. A dual-band filter, which operates at 1.53 GHz and 2.44 GHz with FWBs of 12.1% and 14.1%, respectively is designed. The single-and dual-band filters are both fabricated with double-sided YBCO films and they can be used in mobile and satellite communications.展开更多

In engineering application, it is suitable for wireless local area network （WLAN） and worldwide interoperability for microwave access （WiMAX）. In addition, the passband of this filter can be easily controlled by changing the electrical parameters of the resonators. So it is helpful to the selection of passband in engineering applications. For in-depth analysis, the equivalent circuit of the filter is also proposed. At last, it shows that the measured results agree well with the simulated results. The insertion loss of the filter within each passband is less than 1.9 dB, meanwhile two transmission zeros are obtained which can be able to meet the engineering requirements.展开更多
