Book Description
We present the design and development of a narrow band band-pass filter based on metamaterial concepts. First, the concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission lines is briefly summarized. Based on this concept, we propose a novel unit cell structure built on a 3D multilayer substrate. This unit cell structure is used as a resonator in the design of a band-pass filter. The size of the left-handed band-pass filter is minimized because of the small size of the left-handed resonator. The left-handed resonator was fabricated and its electrical characteristics were measured. Finally, the narrow band band-pass filter based on the left-handed resonator was designed and optimized at 3.5 GHz to achieve 10% bandwidth. A prototype of the left-handed filter was fabricated and measured. Measurement results show that the filter has a center frequency of 3.88 GHz, an 8.63% 3 dB fractional bandwidth and 3.1 dB insertion loss at the center frequency. The rejection of this filter is better than 18 dB up to 8 GHz. The overall size of this filter is only 240 mils x 200 mils x 14 mils, which attractive to integrated circuit and cell phone applications. The analytical and experimental results of this left-handed filter contribute toward the development of novel miniaturized microwave and millimeter wave circuits based on the concept of metamaterial.

Book Description
Narrow Band-pass filtering techniques have been a challenging task since the inception of audio and telecommunication applications. The challenge involves keeping quality factor, gain and mid-frequency of the filter independent of each other. The critical applications require a design that ensures mid-frequency immune to the circuit component tolerances. It becomes increasingly difficult for low-frequency applications where the shift in few Hz in mid-frequency would cause desired frequencies to fall outside the filter’s bandwidth and go undetected. The selection of right topology of the filter for the best performance is the key to successful design. This book objectively compares the relative performance of none popular narrow band-pass filter topologies. The filter topologies are evaluated using a real-world practical example of designing an extremely narrow band-pass filter. The book provides guidelines for selecting the right topology for the low-frequency narrow band-pass filter.

Book Description
Microwave printed filters are preferred in modern mobile and satellite communication systems due to low cost, compact size, and high accuracy. In order to facilitate circuit integration and achieve high information capacity in a communication system, volume miniaturization and bandwidth modulation of the filters becomes critical. Such requirements make design and implementation of filters extremely challenging. Hence, the work presented in this thesis is focused on two aspects, namely, compact printed filter design and effective bandwidth modulation techniques. First, a simple composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) structure is proposed. Based on this structure, a bandpass filter which offers several advantages (e.g. compact size and low loss over traditional filters) is designed. A CAD algorithm for automated CRLH filter design is also implemented, and demonstrated through a practical example. Second, a set of ring filters with adjustable bandwidths are proposed. These filters are implemented by a combination of hairpin resonators, interdigital capacitors and/or etched slots, leading to considerably wider bandwidths as compared to traditional ring filters. In addition, by changing the geometrical parameters of the interdigital capacitors and etched slots, the bandwidth can be easily adjusted for different applications. The filters feature two transmission zeros, whose locations can be accurately determined by means of the semi-analytical model developed as part of this thesis. The proposed filter units can be cascaded to obtain sharper cutoff frequency responses. Several these filters have been fabricated and tested using Anritsu 37369D vector network analyzer. The frequency responses from measurements are in good agreement with those from simulations in the 5-9 GHz range.

Book Description
Microwave planar bandpass filters are indispensable in wireless communication systems in most applications. With miniaturization and limited spectrum, there is a great need for a compact, selective bandpass filter with a wide stopband performance. Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has become a potential technology for designing and developing microwave and millimeter-wave components, circuits, and systems. This chapter presents novel, compact metamaterial-based bandpass filters with improved stopbands. Several filters,Äô design methodology and performance are evaluated using broadside-coupled complementary split-ring resonators (BC-CSRR) and edge-coupled complementary split-ring resonators (EC-CSRR) techniques. A comprehensive method to evaluate negative permittivity and permeability for designing the proposed metamaterial structure is also described. These filters have not only compact size but also a wider upper stopband resulting from bandstop resonator characteristics.

Book Description
Microstrip filters are essential components utilized in the RF/Microwave applications because of their low loss and simple structure. Moreover, it can be fabricated using simple printed circuit technology and characterize main advantages in RF/Microwave filters like high performance, light weight and low cost which the fact track of continuous evolution in wireless communication systems highly demands. This thesis presents design and development of three different microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) for high selectivity applications. A fourth order microstrip BPF was designed using Chebychev lowpass prototype with passband ripple of 0.05 dB and bandwidth of 120 MHz, which operates at center frequency of 2.3 GHz. This filter is designed by using coupled spiral resonator, where these types of resonator structures simplify the design method for microstrip BPF and yet more efficient. This filter design is then rearranged and modified by using square spiral resonator structures and embedded-resonator topology with the same fundamental frequency to make it more compact; furthermore, it has high quality performance in terms of the frequency responses. All the microstrip BPF designs were developed and analyzed by a 3-D electromagnetic simulator. To confirm the simulation results, the three proposed filters are fabricated on R/T Duroid 5880 with dielectric constant of 2.2. The Experimental measurements are carried out using an Agilent N5230A network analyzer. The simulated and measured results are presented, compared and discussed. The analysis indicates a fairly good agreement between simulation and measurement. Finally, compact microstrip BPFs which could demonstrate high quality performance are thoroughly investigated. In this design, the minimum measured insertion loss is 2.65 dB, and the measured return loss is greater than 11 dB in the passband operating at 2.3 GHz, with a fractional bandwidth of 5.2% with two transmission zeros on both sides of the passband. The total size of this layout is 24.74 x 21.2 mm2. This new filter provides a significant size reduction of more than 30% and 18%, with respect to the conventional microstrip BPFs and the recently reported bandpass filter by Wang and others in 2008, respectively, at the same center frequency. Later, multilayer technology is used to reduce more than 25% of the filter size; which is much smaller compared to the microstrip filters using single layer structure. The new filter structure consists of four resonators placed on two stacked layers where the metallic ground plane is deposited onto bottom surface of the dielectric. The measured minimum passband insertion loss is 5.2 dB with measured return loss is no more than -17 dB in the passband. The overall filter size is 380 mm2, which is approximately 10% smaller compared to the multilayer filter reported by Denidni and Djaiz in 2005. It is also reduced more than 25% and 41% compared to our proposed single layer microstrip filter and bandpass filter reported by Wang and others in 2008, respectively, at the same center frequency. It is a promising product to attract usage in modern wireless communication system applications which demand compact size bandpass filters at very low insertion loss but high selectivity, and good out-of-band rejection.
