A Novel Cpw Low Cost Lowpass Filter Integrating Periodic Structures

Abstract

In this work, we propose a novel design of a planar CPW lowpass “LPF” filter based on the use of periodic structures. The periodic cells are formed from a rectangular slot repeated periodically. The originality of this work is to develop a new LPF structure which is simple, low cost for fabrication and easy to associate with others microwave planar circuits. The proposed and validated LPF is a compact planar filter structure. The final circuit is simulated and optimized by using two electromagnetic solvers, ADS (Advanced Design System) and HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator). After many series of optimization we have validated the final circuit into simulation by using optimization methods integrated into the both solvers, taking into account a high density of meshing in order to cover the whole circuit. The fabricated LPF circuit shows good agreement between simulation and measurement results in term of matching input impedance and insertion loss with a cutoff frequency of 1.25GHz. The entire area of the proposed LPF is 35x31 mm<sup>2</sup>.

Design of CW THz PhotonicTtransmitter based on Low Pass-Filter and Bow-tie Wideband Antenna

“…In this paper we choose a several periodic structure presenting in the study [10] with the aim to increase the rejection band and to obtain a low insertion loss in the pass-band along a CPW line as demonstrated in [11]. The proposed structure is composed from three units as shown in Figure 6 and dimensions are presented in Table 2.…”

Advances on Microwave Ceramic Filters for Wireless Communications (Review Paper)

“…Microwave filters and duplexers play an important role in wireless communications by rejecting unwanted signals in the frequency band(s) of interest. Several planar-type structures have been presented in recent years [1], [2], [3], [4]. Although they provide low insertion loss in the passband and sharp rejection in the stop band, these structures are not suitable for modern mobile handsets, tablets, notebooks etc., due to the relatively large area they occupy.…”
