This work presents a third-order interdigital bandpass Butterworth filter designed to operate in the ISM band from 57 to 66 GHz. The project adopted an aluminum oxide (alumina) substrate, copper microstrip transmission lines and a coplanar waveguide (CPW) interface. We performed electromagnetic analysis in Ansys EM using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The filter presented return loss greater than 10 dB and insertion loss greater than 4.47 dB from 57.04 GHz to 65.45 GHz. We will fabricate the device using the Metallic-Nanowire-Membrane technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
