Stepped impedance resonator with harmonic suppression and capability of frequency tuning have been incorporated into a bandpass filter design. A tapped-in U-shaped feed structure is introduced in the design to suppress harmonic and to reduce the passband insertion losses. The passband flexibility is accomplished by using a pair of tuning varactors. A simple method to implant a zero in the frequ...

This paper proposes an improved substrate integrated coaxial meander delay line to overcome the beam dispersion problem in a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar phased array antenna system with large bandwidth. The operates range of 4 GHz–10 GHz relative bandwidth 85.7%. In proposed structure, effect is generated by combination and line, which results significant improvement efficiency. Further...

The design, simulation and performance enhancement of a new structure for X-band high-power, low-loss, low-bias, triangularferrite waveguide circulator are presented. Dual circulation property is obtained by triangular shape of ferrite post. The effects of circulator’s structure parameters, such as ferrite parameters and magnetic DC bias, on isolation, insertion loss and return loss of circulat...

In this paper, a matching circuit for RF diplexer for mobile communication is proposed. Most wanted bands in wireless technologies like GSM and DCS is used. Both bands are designed by using stepped impedance resonators with single order and matching between this two are implemented by Yjunction method. Cutoff frequency for GSM and DCS band are 925 MHz and 1795 MHz. Microstrip Technology is prop...

Improved packages for Josephson Voltage Standard (JVS) circuits have increased operating margins, reliability, and longevity of JVS systems. By using the “flip-chip-on-flex” technique, reliable chip and cryoprobe mounting have been demonstrated. The microwave structures on these packages have been improved such that more power can be delivered to the JVS chip over a wider frequency range: DC to...

In this paper, we propose low-loss and broadband terahertz (THz) waveguide-to-coupled microstrip transitions using dipole antenna with directors. The simulation and measurement show that insertion/return loss and bandwidth of the waveguide transition can be improved by adding two directors to the basic dipole antenna. The fabricated transition with two directors on a 50 μm-thick quartz substrat...

This paper presents a six-port network over an ultrawideband (UWB) of 2–8GHz. Its key component is the six-port junction, which consists of a Wilkinson power divider and three 3-dB quadrature couplers. This six-port junction is accomplished in a low dielectric constant substrate (Rogers RT/duroid 5880). Multi-section impedance transformation is applied in the power divider, and the quadrature c...

In this paper a novel design of microstrip diplexer and triplexer using open loop resonators is presented. The proposed diplexer if formed by two band-pass filters for the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) applications at 5.8 GHz and the WIMAX applications (IEEE 802.16 WiMAX at 3.17 GHz to 4.2 GHz bands). The microstrip triplexer is designed for the Digital Communication System (DCS) at 1.8 G...

In this paper, a dual-band Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) resonator with Sierpinski fractal geometry is proposed. The space-filling property of the employed fractal shape allows to reduce the resonator size. The bandwidth, the minimum insertion loss, the maximum return loss and the stop band rejection are considered for evaluating the effect of the fractal geometry on the resonator charac...
