Compact Dual Bandpass Filter Using Dual-Split Ring Resonator for 5G Upper Microwave Flexible Use Services

Abstract

A novel, compact dual bandpass filter design is proposed for 5G upper microwave flexible use services. To realize the proposed design, a dual split-ring resonator structure coupled to the microstrip transmission line is used. The output responses have been validated using vector network analyzer N5222A. The measured filter records a frequency range of 23.8 GHz–25.98 GHz for the first passband and 28.05 GHz–28.7 GHz for the second band, with fractional bandwidths of 8.8% and 2.2%, respectively. The minimum insertion loss is observed to be 4.2 dB using microstrip technology, even at higher frequencies. The proposed design occupies the area of 0.4 λg×0.27 λg, where λg is guided wavelength at the lower band central frequency. Simulated and measured results are approximately compatible with each other. The proposed design is useful for fixed satellite service earth stations, terrestrial wireless operations, and 5G mobile communications applications.

Apex Feed Microstrip Printed Hybrid Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Wireless Application

“…Metamaterials have garnered significant attention due to their intriguingly negative constitutive attributes, such as permeability, permittivity, and refractive index. These properties are determined by the material's structure rather than its chemical composition, offering a unique avenue for antenna refinement references [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Screen-Printed Metamaterial Absorber Using Fractal Metal Mesh for Optical Transparency and Flexibility

“…Metamaterials, characterized by their artificial composition consisting of periodic arrays of unit structures, are designed to exhibit properties uncommon to natural materials, such as negative refractive indices. This distinctive feature presents diverse opportunities for electronic applications [13,14]. Metamaterial unit structures are scaled smaller than the wavelength of interest, allowing each unit to act as an individual particle [15].…”

Microwave Dual-Crack Sensor with a High Q-Factor Using the TE20 Resonance of a Complementary Split-Ring Resonator on a Substrate-Integrated Waveguide

“…As a result, it is difficult to simultaneously detect multiple cracks and produce a high Q-factor because multi-crack detection sensors that requires independently operating resonances have unique structures such as multiband filters or multiband antennas [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Sensors that can detect two materials simultaneously and independently have gained significant research attention because they can significantly increase the sensing accuracy and reduce the scanning time for large areas while reducing power consumption [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. In this paper, we propose a novel method that can increase the number of cracks that can be detected and produce a high Q-factor by integrating complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) with a higher-mode substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW).…”
