A design of compact ultra wideband (UWB) microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with tunable notch response of wireless communication system is presented in this paper. The five order bandpass filter was designed using optimum distributed highpass integrated with Defected Microstrip Structure (DMS). The bandpass filter was designed at wideband frequency from 2.96 GHz to 10.1 GHz. The insertion loss a...

This paper presents a miniaturized wideband bandpass filter with wide stopband performance. It is shown that the coupled metamaterial-based resonators (MBRs) incorporating with the defected ground structure (DGS) can significantly increase the coupling value to achieve wideband bandpass filter. This technique has been extended to realize wideband bandpass filter having fractional bandwidth of 6...

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with notched band based on microstrip/slotline ring resonators is presented in this paper. The UWB BPF is fabricated with two microstrip ring resonators on the top copper layer and a slotline ring resonator on the bottom ground layer. Thus, an ultra-wide passband can be achieved owing to the coupling effects and microstrip/slotline transitions ...

In this pare, a wideband three-order bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed. The proposed wideband filter is designed using the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure by loading T-shape slots. A BPF with two resonators is formed by etching T-shape slots with different size on the top metal plane of the SIW structure. The filter is investigated with the theory of coupled resonator circuits. T...

Planar band pass filters (BPF) with low insertion loss, compact size, high selectivity, wider bandwidth and good stop band rejection are required for the next generation mobile and satellite communication systems. In the case of the planar filter solution, electrical performance with regard to both out-of-band rejection and in-band transmission losses, as well as cost, reliability and dimension...

In this paper, frequency-tunable microstrip antennas, for cognitive radio applications, are proposed. The approach is based on electrically tuning the antenna’s operating frequency by integrating reconfigurable band pass filters into wideband antenna structures. The design of an open loop resonator (OLR)-based bandstop filter, and its transformation to a bandpass filter, are investigated first....

A compact parallel-coupled-line microstrip bandpass filter with a very wideband passband and narrow notched band is demonstrated in this paper. The presented was constructed from one section of three parallel-coupled-lines which has length quarter wavelength at midband frequency 6.9 GHz. For the purpose increasing selectivity, middle line extended by quarter-wavelength connected end to ground p...
