“…From the presented review, the design technique presented by Shen et al [47] can overcome these challenges by using only one single-layer half-mode substrate integrated waveguide resonator with four slots. As one of the microwave components, differential-fed microstrip BPFs can also be designed, analyzed, and optimized using artificial intelligence, neural networks, and bio-inspired optimization techniques [98,99]. These approaches can be utilized for future differential-fed microstrip BPF designs since these double-ended structures require more analysis and parameter studies than single-ended structures.…”

Differentially driven devices represent a highly promising research field for radio frequency (RF), microwave (MW), and millimeter-wave (mmWave) designers and engineers. Designs employing differential signals are essential elements in low-noise fourth-generation (4G) and fifth-generation (5G) communications. Apart from the conventional planar MW components, differential-fed balanced microstrip filters, as promising alternatives, have several advantages, including high common-mode rejection, low unwanted radiation levels, high noise immunity, and wideband harmonic suppression. In this paper, a comprehensive and in-depth review of the existing research on differential-fed microstrip filter designs are presented and discussed with a focus on recent advances in this research and the challenges facing the researchers. A comparison between different design techniques is presented and discussed in detail to provide the researchers with the advantages and disadvantages of each technique that could be of interest to a specific application. Challenges and future developments of balanced microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) are also presented in this paper. Balanced filters surveyed include recent single-, dual-, tri-, and wide-band BPFs, which employ different design techniques and accomplish different performances for current and future wireless applications.3 of 25 between these designs follow each section. Section 6 shows the challenges and future development of differential-fed microstrip BPFs. Finally, Section 7 presents the conclusion of our review. Single-Band Differential Microstrip BPFsRecently, many single-band differential planar BPFs based on different techniques have been reported [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. The main difference between these designs is the structures utilized. Several types of resonators and techniques can be used to obtain a single-band differential planar BPF with different performance. Generally, the common-mode noise suppression is an interesting topic for high-speed and high-frequency wireless applications. The common-mode noise signals can degrade the differential-mode transmitted signals as well as the entire power of such wireless applications. To suppress the common-mode signals, some researchers and engineers have proposed the use of a series of combinations of single-band differential-fed planar filters and transmission lines [39]. However, this technique will lead to a large area and so not suitable for new demands of compact systems. However, Ebrahimi et al. have proposed a new balanced BPF using dumbbell-shaped defected ground structures (DGSs) [42]. The proposed DGS resonator provides the option of implementing higher-order differential filters. Also, in comparison with similar techniques such as S-shaped complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs), which have similar structures in common-mode and differential mode transmission [39], differential filters based on DGSs provide high common-mode attenuation by utilizing two separate equiv...

A hat-fed reflector antenna with large radius of ring-shaped phase center (RSPC) is reported in this article. First, a new phase efficiency calculation model (PECM) based on new phase reference point is presented, which can accurately calculate the phase efficiency of a hat-fed with arbitrary radius of RSPC. Second, based on the invented PECM, the hat-fed can be optimized by using cosimulation method of HFSS and MATLAB, high aperture efficiencies are achieved in the whole band. To prove the validity of the new PECM, a hatfed reflector antenna with large radius of RSPC is designed, manufactured, and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulations. The results show that the developed hat-fed reflector antenna has achieved a VSWR of less than 1.18, the peak realized gain of 43.5 dBi and an aperture efficiency of higher than 67.4% in the entire band from 12.25 to 14.5 GHz.

“…These topologies suppressed the unwanted bands up to the 3rd harmonics; however, the attenuation in the stopbands was suboptimal. In a different design technique, artificial-intelligence-based approaches, such as particle swarm optimization, neural networks and ant colony, have recently been used to design microstrip filters as well as other microwave and electromagnetic components [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. A simple topology of a dual-band BPF using a hybrid structure was developed in [54], where the passbands could separately be shifted at a price of increased passband insertion loss.…”

A narrowband dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passbands is presented through a systematic design approach. A size-efficient coupling system is proposed with the capability of being integrated with additional resonators without increasing the size of the circuit. Two flag-shaped resonators along with two stepped-impedance resonators are integrated with the coupling system to firstly enhance the quality response of the filter, and secondly to add an independent adjustability feature to the filter. The dual passband of the filter is centered at 4.42 GHz and 7.2 GHz, respectively, with narrow passbands of 2.12% and 1.15%. The lower and upper passbands can be swept independently over 600 MHz and 1000 MHz by changing only one parameter of the filter without any destructive effects on the frequency response. According to United States frequency allocations, the first passband is convenient for mobile communications and the second passband can be used for satellite communications. The filter has very good in- and out-of-band performance with very small passband insertion losses of 0.5 dB and 0.86 dB as well as a relatively strong stopband attenuation of 30 dB and 25 dB, respectively, for the case of lower and upper bands. To verify the proposed approach, a prototype of the filter is fabricated and measured showing a good agreement between numerically calculated and measured results.
