The main advantages of this extremely compact topology rely on three key achievements: the instantaneous bandwidth capability, the axial ratio improvement and the significant size reduction which is in many cases determinant in antenna feed subsystems. Experimental measurements exhibit very good agreement with the predicted results given by conventional mode matching techniques. The overall structure provides an axial ratio as low as 0.7 dB along with a return loss better than 25 dB, at every waveguide port, over the whole bandwidth (60%), which represents the today's state-of-the-art. Moreover, yield analysis and simple scaling properties assure the use up to Q band.","PeriodicalId":243164,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th European Microwave Integrated Circuit Conference","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122839984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain the unequal high-ratio feature, we propose a microstrip line with a periodic shunt open stub to achieve low-impedance lines. The periodic shunt capacitive loading of microstrip lines can be converted a low-impedance line to a high-impedance line because of low effective characteristic impedance and phase velocity. This enables the microstrip line fabrication to be achieved with a low characteristic impedance line of below 10 Ω. As a design example, a 10:1 divider was designed and measured at 1 GHz to show the validity of the unequal divider using periodic open stub. Its performance is in good agreements with the simulated results.","PeriodicalId":243164,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th European Microwave Integrated Circuit Conference","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131826713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, for the first time, a technique for generating rejection notches in the miniaturized UWB filters employing the E-shape microstrip structure is presented. It is shown the attenuated bands can be achieved by capacitively coupling grounded quarter wavelength (λg/4) stub or E-shape microstrip structures to the main filter structure. The performances of a second-order filter with a single rejection notch and a third-order filter with one and two rejection notches are evaluated using an accurate equivalent circuit model as well as by simulation and measurement. The dimensions of the third-order filter are about 4 mm × 4.2 mm × 0.4 mm excluding the feeding ports.","PeriodicalId":243164,"journal":{"name":"2012 7th European Microwave Integrated Circuit Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133145217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
