A conventional hairpin-line resonator size is normally very large. The folded hairpin line resonator filters are compact, small sized and simple to design and fabricate. This paper presents a new class of folded hairpin line microstrip resonator filters with 40-50% reduction in size compared to the conventional hairpin line resonators. The proposed double-fold hairpin line microstrip filters ar...

In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...

In the last decade Micromechanical components for communication applications has been fabricated via IC-compatible MEMS technologies. In fact, its most important impact is not at the component level, but rather at the system level, by offering alternative transceiver architectures that reduce power consumption and enhance performance. In this paper a mixer-filter for AM frequency receiver with ...

We experimentally demonstrate a microelectromechanically (MEMS) tunable photonic ring resonator add-drop filter, fabricated in a simple silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based process. The device uses electrostatic parallel plate actuation to perturb the evanescent field of a silicon waveguide, and achieves a 530 pm resonance wavelength tuning, i.e., more than a fourfold improvement compared to previo...

© 2013 ETRI Journal, Volume 35, Number 2, April 2013 This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-ci...

In this paper, a novel microstrip structure is developed to realize a dual-band bandpass filter. The proposed bandpass structure uses a microstrip resonator with two independently controlled resonance frequencies producing two frequency bands of interest controlled by adjusting the dimensions of the resonator. Parametric analysis is performed on the structure to determine the optimum dimensions...

This paper describes the operation, design, implementation and performance of RF coupled resonator filters. It starts by considering discrete parallel inductor/capacitor resonators and then moves on to discuss the implementation of this style of filter at higher frequencies using short circuit co-axial resonators in place of the inductors. Introduction Shunt mounted resonators, comprising a dis...

Introduction: Single-bit processing has been attracting interest due to the promise of efficient and simple implementations [1, 2]. One area where little work can be found is in single-bit resonators. Resonators are typically used to filter narrow bandwidth signals. A typical resonator is implemented using a multi-bit architecture and, as such, it produces multi-bit output [3]. In this Letter w...

In this letter, a passive microring-resonator-coupled semiconductor laser structure is proposed. The weakly coupled high-Q microring resonator provides a strong mode-selection filter and could considerably extend the effective cavity length of a conventional Fabry–Perot laser. The side-mode suppression ratio, the linewidth and the frequency chirp of this laser are dramatically improved comparin...

In this paper, a new miniaturized ultra-wideband bandpass filter is simulated. The structure of the new ultra-wideband bandpass filter is constructed using stepped-impedance resonator. The input admittance of the proposed filter is calculated and compared with the conventional structure. The frequency response of the filter is simulated by an EM simulator tool. The parameters of the proposed fi...
