The experimental circuit with its photos given in Figure 7 is built on the same substrate mentioned in Section 2. Figure 8 shows the measured and simulated frequency responses for the balanced BPF of Figure 5. The measured (simulated) in-band minimum DM insertion loss is 2.6 (1.9) dB with an FBW of 6.4% (6.2%). The peak around 8.16 GHz with a value of 219 dB is the suppressed TE 101 response. Two transmission zeroes are observed by the passband with the upper one due to the Hmicrostrip and the lower one due to intercoupling of the two degenerated modes. The BW of the measured CM rejection, which is considered larger than that of the case in Section 2, covers from 2.5 to 13.8 GHz with a rejection level of at the least 40 dB.
CONCLUSIONThe design, realization, and experimental results of the proposed balanced BPF of (folded) SIW cavity is presented in this article. The validity of the circuit design and circuit performance is verified by measurements. The proposed balanced BPFs of dual-mode (folded) SIW cavity have considerable low insertion losses, which count for the ones from conductors and dielectric, the excessive lengths of transmission line, and the transition from the coaxial SMA to (folded) SIW cavity. The demonstrated BPF has achieved CM suppression with the in-band signal rejection levels larger than 40 dB.ABSTRACT: This study proposes a design method of proper two-pole band-rejection characteristics on a UWB antenna. This method has advantage of easy accomplishment of the required band-rejection characteristics of an UWB antenna, such as skirt characteristic, bandwidth, and ripple by directly applying the well-known band-rejection filter design procedure without hard iteration or optimization process using an EM-Simulator. A designed and fabricated antenna by the design method satisfied broad and sharp band-rejection characteristic at 5 GHz WLAN band with the full UWB band specifications with return losses less than 210 dB. The group delay variations are within 1.0 ns except the rejection band. The band-stop filter was placed around the radiating patch without degradation on the operation of the main UWB antenna so that it does not need any extra space for the adoption. The proposed method could be useful for designing various wideband antennas with excellent band rejection properties. V C 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The proposed design can establish the biasing and the impedance matching with two transmission line elements. Both theoretical and experimental verifications confirm that the three-stage prototype achieves a gain per stage of 6.1 dB, and the output P 1dB of 1.6 dBm with 29 mW power consumption at 53 GHz based on the standard CMOS 130 nm 1P8M technology.
