Abstract |
In this article, a new tri-band bandpass filter, operating at 2-2.6 GHz, 3.5-4.5
GHz and 5-5.8 GHz for GSM, WiMAX and WLAN application is proposed. Two quad
sections SIR resonators and corresponding feeding structures are introduced to
enhance the tuneable range of operating frequencies. Using source/load coupling
can realize two controllable transmission zeros around each operating band. The
filter is analyzed and solved in terms of the transmission line model using
finite element method (FEM) and results are refined by full-wave simulator CST
Microwave Studio 2009 and SONNET Version.11. The comparison between magnitudes
of s-parameters simulation results with SONNET and CST Microwave Studio
simulators are also presented. The results show a good match between two
simulation results with different commercial software for the proposed bandpass
filter. The desired operating bands are covered by the response of the different
software’s. |
