In this paper, reduced-sized dual-wideband bandpass filter designs using bridged-T coils are proposed. The bridged-T coil can be designed as a wideband lumped-element equivalent of the transmission line, and it is used to replace all or part of the transmission line sections in a conventional dual-wideband bandpass filter for very efficient circuit size reduction. The tradeoff between circuit size and insertion loss is investigated, and practical design examples are presented to demonstrate the filter performance.
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.
