E-Plane Integrated Parallel-Strip Screen Waveguide Filters (Short Papers)

A rigorous field theory design of a class of rectangular waveguide screen fiIters is presented which achieves improved attenuation in the upper stopband. The method of field expansion into suitable eigenmodes used considers the effects of the finite rectangular E-plane grid thickness and the mutual higher order mode interaction of the single screens. Calculated results up to 55 GHz show that the peak attenuation in the upper stopband for a Ka-band (26-40-GHz) two-resonators filter example with a midband frequency of f/sub 0/= 37 GHz is about 70 dB, whereas its planar circuit single-metal-insert counterpart reaches only about 34 dB. A Ku-band (12- 18-GHz) filter prototype with three metal-etched screens yields a measured passband insertion loss of 0.8 dB at about f/sub 0/= 17 GHz and a measured attenuation in upper stopband of about 50 dB up to 25 GHz.     

Design of hybrid filter banks for analog/digital conversion

This paper presents design algorithms for hybrid filter banks (HFBs) for high-speed, high-resolution conversion between analog and digital signals. The HFB is an unconventional class of filter bank that employs both analog and digital filters. When used in conjunction with an array of slower speed converters, the HFB improves the speed and resolution of the conversion compared with the standard time-interleaved array conversion technique. The analog and digital filters in the HFB must be designed so that they adequately isolate the channels and do not introduce reconstruction errors that limit the resolution of the system. To design continuous-time analog filters for HFBs, a discrete-time-to-continuous-time (“Z-to-S”) transform is developed to convert a perfect reconstruction (PR) discrete-time filter bank into a near-PR HFB; a computationally efficient algorithm based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is developed to design the digital filters for HFBs. A two-channel HFB is designed with sixth-order continuous-time analog filters and length 64 FIR digital filters that yield -86 dB average aliasing error. To design discrete-time analog filters (e.g., switched-capacitors or charge-coupled devices) for HFBs, a lossless factorization of a PR discrete-time filter bank is used so that the reconstruction error is not affected by filter coefficient quantization. A gain normalization technique is developed to maximize the dynamic range in the finite-precision implementation. A four-channel HFB is designed with 9-bit (integer) filter coefficients. With internal precision limited to the equivalent of 15 bits, the maximum aliasing error is -70 dB, and with the equivalent of 20 bits internal precision, maximum aliasing is -100 dB. The 9-bit filter coefficients degrade the stopband attenuation (compared with unquantized coefficients) by less than 3 dB     

A simple design method for near-perfect-reconstruction nonuniformfilter banks

In this correspondence, we propose a simple design method for nonuniform integer-decimated filter banks based on a uniform cosine-modulated filter bank. The resulting distortion and aliasing are comparable to the stopband attenuation of the prototype filter. Examples are given to demonstrate the proposed method

A high-frequency fifth order switched-current bilinear ellipticlowpass filter

Design considerations for and measured results of a prototype high-frequency fifth order switched-current bilinear elliptic lowpass filter are presented in this paper. The prototype filter was implemented on a standard 1.2 μm double-metal single-polysilicon CMOS process and occupied a total die area of 1.5 mm². When clocked at 2 MHz, the filter achieved a passband edge of 350 kHz, a stopband edge of 420 kHz, a passband ripple of 0.6 dB and a minimum stopband attenuation of 26 dB. With a single 5 V power supply the filter consumed 28 mW     

Metallic E-plane filter with cavities of different cutoff frequency

A planar integrated circuit filter with multiple all-metal inserts and multiple abrupt waveguide step-wall discontinuities is introduced which achieves broadband high attenuation in the second stopband. The design is based on field expansion into suitably normalised eigenmodes which yield directly the modal S-matrix. This theory allows the immediate inclusion of both the higher-order mode interaction at all discontinuities and the finite thickness of the inserts. Computer-optimised design data for a five-resonator Ka-band prototype filter at 27 GHz midband frequency provide a minimum stopband attenuation of 50 dB between 27.5 and 44.5 GHz.     

Design of Oversampled Interleaved DFT Modulated Filter Bank Using 2Block Gauss-Seidel Method

In this paper, we present several new properties of the recently introduced interleaved DFT modulated filter bank and an efficient algorithm for designing the filter bank. The periodicity and symmetry properties of the overall transfer function and aliasing transfer functions are stated. Then the design of the filter bank is formulated into a constrained optimization problem that jointly minimizes the overall distortion and aliasing distortion subject to fixed bounds on the stopband energy, transition-band energy, and passband flatness of the prototype filters. The constrained optimization problem is solved by the 2block Gauss-Seidel method, which alternatively optimizes the analysis PF pair and the synthesis PF pair. Since the overall distortion and aliasing distortion are jointly minimized, the proposed algorithm can lead to filter banks with small reconstruction error, even when the filter banks behave with a low redundancy ratio and short PFs. The convergence of the proposed algorithm is proved. Numerical examples and comparisons with the existing method are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

A novel microstrip lowpass filter with sharp roll-off and ultra-wide stopband using SICMRC

This paper presents a novel microstrip lowpass filter with sharp roll-off and ultra-wide stopband using stepped-impedance resonator and bended transmission line structure. The filter includes stepped-impedance prototype filter and stepped-impedance compact microstrip resonator cells that are combined in one structure. The proposed filter has good specifications such as sharp roll-off, ultra-wide stopband and low insertion loss. The transition band is approximately 0.25 GHz from 1.75 to 2 GHz with corresponding attenuation levels of ?3 and ?40 dB. The attenuation level in the stopband is better than ?20 dB that is achieved from 1.94 to 23 GHz, and the insertion loss in the passband is less than 0.4 dB. The proposed filter is fabricated and measured, and the simulation and measurement results are found to be in good agreement with each other.     

Calibration of optimized minimum inductor bandpass filter with controllable bandwidth and stopband rejection

A calibration methodology for the optimized minimum inductor (OMI) bandpass filter (BPF) to compensate passive components' inherent loss, such as resistances and reactances, is presented. OMI BPF prevails conventional elliptic and Chebyshev BPFs by introducing fewer inductors for the same stopband rejection requirement. Given design specifications (bandwidth, stopband rejection) at a specific center frequency, the calibration flow optimizes the approach to offset the inaccuracy of center frequency, bandwidth, and stopband rejection due to the discrepancy between the actual and ideal prototype passive components. Two OMI BPF designs before and after calibration are presented for demonstration and comparison. They are 1) a 3rd order centered at 2.388 GHz, 35.54% fractional bandwidth (FBW), 29.97 dB stopband rejection, and 2) a 7th order centered at 2.333 GHz, 17.40% FBW, 62.29 dB stopband rejection.     

A New Approach to the Realization of a Dual-Band Microstrip Filter With Very Wide Upper Stopband

This paper presents the design of a new dual-band filter with very wide upper stopband. The proposed circuit offers a simple and compact structure with low insertion loss. Spurious suppression is achieved by using specially designed coupling and resonator sections. Moreover, a systematic analysis is applied to the proposed topology with closed-form design equations derived. For verification purposes, the measured performance of a microstrip filter operating at 1 and 2 GHz is shown with stopband attenuation of greater than 20 dB over the frequency range from 2.5 to 8.0 GHz.     

Numerically efficient optimal design of cosine-modulated filter banks with peak-constrained least-squares behavior

Several current applications related to signal compression and representation and high-speed transmission require very selective filter banks/transmultiplexers. A possible solution is to employ the cosine-modulated filter banks/transmultiplexers (CMFBTs) where the prototype filters satisfy demanding constraints with respect to both the total stopband energy and maximum stopband ripple. This work proposes an efficient procedure to design nearly-perfect reconstruction CMFBT prototype filters with peak-constrained least-squares characteristics using a modified weighted least-squares algorithm. Substantial flexibility is added in the design of the magnitude response of the prototype filter, ranging from minimum stopband energy to minimum stopband ripple, which may be required in many applications. Some constraints are imposed to the CMFBTs in order to control the direct transfer and aliasing distortion functions, related to the intercarrier and intersymbol interferences. Algebraic simplifications are also provided on the overall objective function and associated constraints, leading to substantial reduction on the computational burden of the optimization process. The procedure is proven to be very powerful in designing CMFBT systems satisfying multiple constraints as indicated by numerical examples.

Substrate Integrated Waveguide Filter With Improved Stopband Performance for Satellite Ground Terminal

In this paper, patent pending substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filters with moderate fractional bandwidth and improved stopband performance are proposed and demonstrated for a $Ka$ -band satellite ground terminal. Nonphysical cross-coupling provided by higher order modes in the oversized SIW cavities is used to generate the finite transmission zeros far away from the passband for improved stopband performance. Different input/output topologies of the filter are discussed for wide stopband applications. Design considerations including the design approach, filter configuration, and tolerance analysis are addressed. Two fourth-order filters with a passband of 19.2–21.2 GHz are fabricated on a single-layer Rogers RT/Duroid 6002 substrate using linear arrays of metallized via-holes by a standard printed circuit board process. Measured results of the two filters agree very well with simulated results, showing the in-band insertion loss is 0.9 dB or better, and the stopband attenuation in the frequency band of 29.5–30 GHz is better than 50 dB. Measurements over a temperature range of $-{hbox{20}} ^{circ}$C to $+{hbox{40}} ^{circ}$C show the passband remains almost unchanged.
