A low-cost millimeter-wave dielectric-resonator filter using a high-order whispering-gallery mode with the coupling of curved microstrip transmission line has been successfully developed for the mode selection in a millimeter-wave optoelectronic oscillator. The achieved 3-dB bandwidth of this filter is 10.5 MHz (loaded quality factor, Q, is about 3,000) or 0.03 percent at 31.5 GHz with a 3-dB i...

To achieve dual frequency operation for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications, a hybrid dual-band dielectric resonator antenna with serpentine slot fed by a microstrip line is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consists of cylindrical dielectric resonator and serpentine slot resonator. The serpentine slot is etched on the ground plane of the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). By...

Photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs) are traditional structures fordesigning optical channel drop filters. In this paper, Photonic crystal channel drop filter(CDFs) with a new configuration of ring resonator is presented. The structure is made ofa square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index nsi=3. 4 which are perforated inair with refractive index nair=1. Calculations of band s...

We have used near-field scanning optical microscopy to measure the internal optical modes inside glass waveguides and microring resonators. The period of the observed standing modes provides a direct measure of the local effective index. The measured effective index and modal shape determines the values of all components of the wave vector. The observed standing modes inside the ring resonator ...

here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. these structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). the broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. two linear defect w1 waveguides couple to the ring....

The design procedure of a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) stepped impedance resonator (SIR) low pass filter (LPF), is presented in this paper. A SIR LPF with 15.5 GHz cutoff frequency miniaturized by meander line technique is designed and it is shown that offsetting the stepped impedance resonators, as well as indenting the tap location greatly improve rejection bandwidth. By cascading multiple fi...

A compact narrowband non-degenerate dual-mode microstrip filter with square shape cuts is presented. The structure is developed by loading the conventional non-degenerate dual-mode resonator by open circuit stubs at two opposite corners. The filter bandwidth is controlled by only decreasing the higher cutoff frequency of the conventional type. With Square shape cuts, return loss is improved. A ...
