Dual Band Bandpass Filter Using Meandered Ring Resonator

Dual Band Bandpass Filter Using Meandered Ring ResonatorDual band bandpass dribble using Meandered closed chain resonant circuit using loaded DGSMariselvam V, Raju SAbstract duncish microstrip dual-band bandpass distort (DBBPF) with high selectivity and rock-steady suppression for wireless local area networks (WLANs) is proposed utilizing a novel engraft scheme resonating chamber loaded ring resonator DGS. Two passbands are produced by a pair of embedded half-wave continuance meandered stepped- immunity resonator (MSIR) and a quad wavelength presently stub loaded stepped- immunity resonator (SIR) separately. The loaded DGS avoids the cross talk in the pass band which is useful to arrive at very sharp cutoff in the pass band. The resonator is fed by folded T Shaped capacitive source-load coupling microstrip feed line, and four transmission zeros are obtained at both sides of the bands to reform selectivity and suppression. Simultaneously, the size of the filter is extremely c ompact because embedding half-wavelength MSIR only changes the interior physical body of quad-wavelength SIR. To validate the picture method, the designed filter is manufacture and thrifty. Both simulated and careful results indicate that good transmission property has been achieved.KeywordsLow-pass filter, gilded rejection, linear phase, ring resonators, microstrip filters microwave filters.1. IntroductionBPFs are important block in RF front-to-end and father drawn much attention since they can reject the useless signals. In 13, miniaturized BPFs with high selectivity and enhanced out-of-band performance are designed for wireless communication systems. In recent years, with the development of contrastive wireless standards, such as global system for mobile communication (GSM), wireless local-area network (WLAN) and world interoperability for microwave get at (WiMAX), designing multi-band BPFs with miniaturized size, high selectivity and controllable frequencies has become a trend. In 46, compact and high selectivity dual-band BPFs are designed by two sets of resonators, stepped-electrical resistance resonators (SIR) and stub-loaded resonators, respectively. For dual-band BPF designs, various approaches have been studied. A simple effective method is to utilize two or triplet sets of resonators 710. In 7, a high selectivity dual-band BPF is designed by using coupled stepped impedance resonators. Each set of resonators operates at a pass band, resulting in controllable frequencies. Unfortunately, it has large size due to the multi-sets of resonators. In this a novel Meandered stepped impedance resonator with loaded DGS is utilized to achieve the desired dual pass band and the size is reduced. The two passbands are generated through respective resonators. High selectivity is obtained by the accounting entry of several finite attenuation poles in s aggrandisementband. Compared with the conventional dual band filter, the filter is smaller in size and bet ter in performance.2. Analysis of stepped impedance resonatorTo design a DBBPF using SIRs, the properties of SIR must be analyzed first. As shown in Fig. 1, the basic grammatical construction of half-wavelength SIR consists of two lines of different characteristic impedances Z1 and Z2 and electrical lengths 1 and 2. It can be treated as two uniform cells (cell A and cell B). The resonance conditions can be obtained from one of them since the half-wavelength SIR is symmetrical 10. The impedance of the resonator can be calculated as thoughtfulnessAccording to the above equation, the resonance appears when Zin is infinite, namely the denominator is equal to zero. As a result, the following expression can be obtained as the resonance conditionWhere Rz is the impedance ratio. In expression (2), we can see that the resonance conditions are determined by 1, 2 and Rz. It can adjust these three factors to obtain the resonance that we required, and a dual mode filter can be designed by usi ng SIR.Fig. 1.Basic structure of the half wave length SIR (3)s1 is the electrical length for the first spurious frequency fs1 .In this paper is to design a good WLAN filter, the first spurious frequency must be avoided at the designed lower passband.3. target of DBBPFFig. 2 shows the transformation process to design an embedded-scheme resonator for DBBPF. In Fig.2 (a) a quad-wavelength little stub loaded SIR is shown. To reduce its size, the SIR is folded as an open-loop. Additionally, the low impedance lines of quad-wavelength short stub loaded SIR are broad enough to provide area for a small resonator, which make it possible to embed a pair of small coupling resonators. So, we replace the low impedance lines with a pair of meandered SIRs, which is shown in Fig. 2(b). To achieve a high performance dual-band filter, it is necessary to introduce transmission zeros at both sides of the bands. Due to the existence of DGS, magnetized coupling takes up dominant lay on the short stub loaded SIR shown in Fig. 2(a). On the other hand, as the embedded MSIR is folded as an open-loop, it has the maximum electric field density at the side with an open gap, and the maximum magnetic field density at the opposite side. If the sides with the maximum magnetic field of two coupled resonators are proximately placed, the magnetic coupling can be obtained. Therefore, the coupling between the half wavelength SIR loops is also magnetic 15. So, transmission zeros near the two pass bands can be generated by feeding microstrip feed line with capacitive source-load coupling, which because the counteraction between electric field and magnetic field. These transmission zeros have permits to correct selectivity and suppression of this filter.(b)Fig. 2.Embedded Resonator DBBPF design scheme.A filter proposed for WLAN is shown in Fig. 4.A set of parameters of it is given in Tab.1.4. Filter ConfigurationFig.3.T shaped stub loaded resonatorFig. 2 shows the abidance of the proposed micro strip dual-band BPF. It is composed of two sets of resonators. The outer resonators are stub-loaded resonators operating at the first and two pass band frequencies, i.e., 3.68 GHz and 7.01 GHz. Fig.3 illustrate the configuration of the resonator. It consists of a transmission line of length and a T-shaped stub loaded at the line centre is the overall length of the lines, namely L.L= B1+2d1+2f1+2C2+s1+2f1Open-circuited coupled-lines with the length C2and gap C1 are employed to realize electrical coupling. Two transmission lines with the characteristic impedance of 50 are connected to the outer resonators, acting as input and output ports. Embedded between the two outer resonators, the inner resonators 2 and3 are used to yield the second pass band at f2. The inner resonators are fed by the outer ones. Using this structure, multi-path coupling can be realized for the pass band, which can help generate a pair of transmission zeros.(a)(b)Fig. 4.

CSRR DGS UNITThe Ring Resonator structures are designed and produced by applying the Babinet principle to the split ring resonators (SRR). In this way structures with apertures in metal surface are obtained and these CSRRs create negative instead of negative in a narrow range near the resonance frequency. In microstrip technology, left handed Metamaterial structures exhibiting band stop behaviour can be implemented by etch CSRRs in the ground plane, underneath the conductor strip, and along the series capacitive gaps. The gap provides a negative value of the effective permeability up to trusted frequency that depends on gap dimensions and separation. The negative structure has been obtained by loading a microstrip line with CSRR particles as shown in Fig.4. There are many different parameters that affect resonance frequency of CSRR, most dominant being the permittivity of the substrate and length of the resonator. The resonance frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the resonator and is at one time proportional to the split gap of the resonator. It is considered that the CSRR particle is etched only in the ground plane. CSRR etching depth decides the strength of the resonance increases 12-13 In order to improve the sharper cut-off, compact in size and harmonic suppression ability of the conventional dual band pass filter a CSRR is loaded in the bottom of the filter. The CSRR is designed at the anti-resonance frequency. Inherent nature of anti-resonance behaviour, it rejects the frequencies above cut-off frequency. In this way we achieved sharp cut-off.the dimensions of the ring resonator is given in Table.1.6.
