The canonical pre-distorted filtering function has been utilized to achieve the better electrical performance and TM mode dielectric resonator allows minimizing the size of the filter.

Basic band pass filter is constructed in microstrip medium using three section interdigital stepped impedance resonators. Stepped impedance resonator plays the role for suppressing second and third harmonics and also reduces the size of the filter. Frequency reconfigurabilty of the filter is achieved by varying the electrical lengths of SIRs with help of voltage controlled varactor diodes. An equivalent circuit model of the proposed reconfigurable SIR filter is reported in this paper. Overall response of the proposed filter is computed in MATLAB using input impedance of the filter. The computed results are well matching with full wave simulation results. The electronically frequency reconfigurable filter is experimentally made and the measurements are reported. The filter is designed for a bandwidth of 300MHz and reconfigurable frequency range of 1.25GHz to 1.95GHz. The insertion loss of the reconfigurable filter over entire tuning range is less than 5.0dB and the return loss is better than 10dB. The filter is compact and measures a size of 32mmx30mmx 0.8mm. The reconfigurable filter can be intuitively used in multiband communication systems replacing traditional switched filter banks.","PeriodicalId":259227,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and RF Conference (IMaRC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129990041","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}

A detailed study of different configurations of power divider based on SICL technology is explored. To realize impedance matching at the three port junctions, SICL based quarter wave impedance transformer is used in both Tee and Y type power divider. Both the designs exhibit equal power division with output power within the range of -3 0.05dB. The phase difference between the output ports of the two way power divider is below 0.5°. A design of SICL 90° bend is also studied. To compensate the reactive loading effect at the bend, chamfering at the central conductor is implemented which helps to improve the S parameter performance of the design. Finally, the Tee and Y power divider is cascaded along with SICL bend to realize SICL four way equal power divider. The proposed design operates over entire K band (18–26 GHz) with its reflection coefficient below −16 dB. The output power of the design is within -6 0.55 dB and the phase difference between the output ports are below 0.9°.

Modified binary coded genetic algorithm (MBC-GA) is employed in the present study to solve this optimization problem. A 12×12-element TPA array is numerically examined to access the performance of proposed method.
