Abstract
In this paper, the theoretical design of a compact wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with a tunable notched band is reported. We proposed a cross-shaped coupling resonator (CHCR) which resonant modes are demonstrated by employing the ABCD matrix analysis method. In addition, the independent and controllable passband characteristics can be obtained by properly adjusting the microstrip electrical length. For tunable application, the varactor diode is employed as the tuning element to achieve a notched frequency range of 8.5–10.0 GHz and the tuning rate is 16.2 %. For demonstration, the tunable circuits are designed, fabricated and measured. Simulated and measured results are matched well. The measured results agree well with theoretical predictions, which exhibit superior performance such as tunable notched band, high-selectivity, compact size, low insertion loss (IL) and ideal notched band suppression levels.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1969, the Microelectronics Journal is an international forum for the dissemination of research and applications of microelectronic systems, circuits, and emerging technologies. Papers published in the Microelectronics Journal have undergone peer review to ensure originality, relevance, and timeliness. The journal thus provides a worldwide, regular, and comprehensive update on microelectronic circuits and systems.
The Microelectronics Journal invites papers describing significant research and applications in all of the areas listed below. Comprehensive review/survey papers covering recent developments will also be considered. The Microelectronics Journal covers circuits and systems. This topic includes but is not limited to: Analog, digital, mixed, and RF circuits and related design methodologies; Logic, architectural, and system level synthesis; Testing, design for testability, built-in self-test; Area, power, and thermal analysis and design; Mixed-domain simulation and design; Embedded systems; Non-von Neumann computing and related technologies and circuits; Design and test of high complexity systems integration; SoC, NoC, SIP, and NIP design and test; 3-D integration design and analysis; Emerging device technologies and circuits, such as FinFETs, SETs, spintronics, SFQ, MTJ, etc.
Application aspects such as signal and image processing including circuits for cryptography, sensors, and actuators including sensor networks, reliability and quality issues, and economic models are also welcome.
