Abstract
In this paper, two compact tuneable bandpass filters (BPFs) based on the coupled feed lines are introduced. To approach a compact size, the coupled feed lines are bended. To design a high performance single-band bandpass filter (BPF), coupled feed lines are loaded by T-shaped stubs (as main resonators) and rectangular stubs (as suppressor stubs). Also, the mechanism of coupled feed lines combining with T-shaped open stubs is analyzed to show a tunable passband. The dual-band BPF includes two big radial-stubs, two small radial-stubs, two T-shaped structures and spiral coupled feed lines. The LC model of big radial-stubs is analyzed to compute the equation of transmission zero using its transfer function. The passband frequency of single-band BPF resonates at 2.12 GHz (3G) with corresponded insertion loss of 0.83 dB. Also, for dual-band BPF, the measured insertion-losses of first and second passbands are close to 0.8 and 1.1 dB, respectively. The frequency responses of BPFs are easily adjusted by altering the physical dimensions, demonstrating a adjustable performance. To verify the correct operation of circuits, the proffered filters are implemented and tested.
