Compared to other planar transmission lines, the geometrical dimension, in particular, the width of an SIW is much larger, which depends on the operating frequency and substrate material. Therefore, an effective SIW miniaturization is required for developing a high-density integration in circuit design. In this paper, three miniaturization techniques of SIW circuits are discussed in order to achieve a high compression ratio. A group of SIW transmission lines based on these miniaturization techniques are analyzed and their propagation constants and quality factors are extracted for comparison.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124042736","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}

Such lines exhibit a composite right/left handed (CRLH) behavior. Dual-band operation is achieved by designing the lines to provide a phase of -90o at the lower operating frequency (within the left handed band) and +90o phase shift at the upper frequency (within the right handed band). Size reduction, as compared to conventional implementations, is achieved by implementing the lines with a single unit cell, and thanks to the small electrical size of CSRs. To illustrate the possibilities of the approach, a dual-band branch-line coupler based on metamaterial transmission lines implemented by means of CSRs is presented. The device has been designed to be functional at the mobile GSM bands (f1= 0.9 GHz, f2= 1.8 GHz). As compared to the conventional branch line, a 40% size reduction is obtained. The approach is fully compatible with planar technology.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133978194","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}

The first area, lossy filters, is that of the synthesis of filters with finite dissipation loss. This enables the realisation of highly selective filters with lower resonator Q factor than conventional design approaches, consequently reducing the physical size of filters in receiver applications. The second approach, frequency selective limiters, is a non-linear filtering technique which reduces the dynamic range of signals across a wide frequency band, enabling simpler A-D conversion of radar signals. The third technique, reconfigurable filters, is a new method for constructing tunable bandpass filters with low loss and high intercept point. Finally we will present results on techniques for the design of multi-mode patch antennas with filtering characteristics, enabling wider band and multiband operation.","PeriodicalId":257679,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Art of Miniaturizing RF and Microwave Passive Components","volume":"28 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124549473","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}
