Analytical equations derived by the even-odd mode analysis show the new filter has two tunable transmission zeros at both sides of the passband to provide a sharp rejection and seven transmission poles inside the passband to achieve U.S. UWB performance. For verification, a UWB BPF is designed, fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the fabricated filter has a -3 dB fractional bandwidth from 3.0 GHz to 10.9 GHz and its insertion loss less than 0.9 dB over the whole passband. Furthermore, the new filter exhibits a simple topology, sharp rejection, and deep stopband suppression.展开更多

Based on the conventional E-plane fin-line structure, an E-plane extended cavity is implemented to enhance the suppression at unwanted frequency points near the passband. The passband performance is not disturbed and the whole structure remains simple to be assembled. To extend the suppression bandwidth, two separated notch cavities are designed and arranged at the input and output ends of the fin-line filter, respectively. A prototype BPF is fabricated and measured. Experimental results show that the minimum insertion loss is 2.7 dB over a passband of 1 GHz. The suppression is about 85 dB near 91.7 GHz, which is 2.2 GHz lower than the center frequency. Experimental results agree well with simulation.展开更多
