Abstract
In this letter, a fully packaged dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) with wide upper stopband is presented. The stripline patch resonator loaded by the shorting slabs is adopted to achieve the dual-mode bandpass performance under operation of TM00 mode and TM01 mode. To remove other harmonic resonances of the stripline patch resonator, a common-mode double-point inset-feeding technique is proposed at the very beginning to prevent the excitation of high-order modes. To verify the design concept, a prototype packaged dual-mode BPF working at 4.0 GHz with the fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 8.2% is designed and fabricated using the multilayer liquid crystal polymer (LCP) circuit technology. Final results theoretically demonstrate and experimentally confirm that a wide stopband rejection up to $4.3f_{0}$ is obtained, well verifying the feeding method.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) publishes four-page papers (3 pages of text + up to 1 page of references) that focus on microwave theory, techniques and applications as they relate to components, devices, circuits, biological effects, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, medical and industrial activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the MWCL whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
