The proposed structure composes of two pairs of microstrip short-circuited stubs which provide a microstrip-to-CPW transition, and a CPW resonator whose length is about half-guided-wavelength (λg/2) at 6.85GHz. A triple-mode UWB bandpass filter is produced using this microstrip-to-CPW transition structure. In order to suppress WLAN signals around 5.2/5.8GHz, a novel via-stub-loaded structure is designed. By adding this via-stub-loaded structure, a bandstop characteristic is formed as a notch-band whose position and bandwidth could be tuned easily. Simulation results indicate that the reflection loss is lower than -15dB in desired passband, and it also achieves a good performance of the notch-band around 5.2/5.8GHz. Finally, the proposed UWB bandpass filter is fabricated and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.","PeriodicalId":344851,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124774466","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 emphasis is on mitigating the dielectric-charging problem as it currently limits the lifetime of these switches. The most critical is to distinguish charging of the dielectric surface from that of the dielectric bulk, and then mitigate them separately. Once surface charging is eliminated and bulk charging is greatly reduced, the switch lifetime can be prolonged almost indefinitely by using an intelligent closed-loop CMOS control circuit. This will facilitate the use of MEMS capacitive switches in military and commercial systems.","PeriodicalId":344851,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128148586","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}
