Abstract
The present work introduces a compact ultrawideband filter based on folded ridge gap waveguide. The design and fabrication of a ninth-order bandpass filter demonstrates its capabilities, achieving a 75 % fractional bandwidth, a return loss (RL) of 17.6 dB, and an insertion loss (IL) of 0.52 dB within the 8.22 to 18.15 GHz frequency range. The fabricated prototype shows excellent agreement between simulations and measurements. The designed filter offers reduced size and wider frequency bandwidth in comparison with similar bandpass filters based on gap waveguide and exhibits significant potential for X- and Ku-bands radar systems.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
