Passive bandpass filters for modern microwave communication systems

Abstract

Background. Bandpass filters are an integral part of any radio engineering systems and modern communication systems. Research and development of new passive components is due to growing need for such elements for modernization and creation of new modern communication systems. Aim. A brief overview of passive bandpass filters. Their classification according to the type of implementation is given. Methods. Results of experimental research and design of different passive bandpass filters are considered. Results. Lumped elements filters, microstrip filters, filters on high-temperature superconductor films, filter on dielectric resonators, surface acoustic wave filters, bulk acoustic wave filters are considered. At a qualitative level, the main advantages and disadvantages are considered from point of view of electrical parameters and size indicators. Examples of topological and constructive implementation are given. Conclusion. The passive bandpass filters considered in the paper make it possible to implement frequency selection devices at operating frequencies up to 6 GHz and higher, taking into account modern system trends and requirements for devices of this type.
