Abstract

In this work, a method to design a compact millimeter-wave microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) using the mode-exciting technology is proposed. The structure comprises of an open-circuited stub along with a pair of symmetrical parallel-coupled transmission lines. The filter can be configured to the desired frequency band by adjusting the relative impedances and electrical lengths of the stub and parallel coupled transmission lines. Moreover, with the combination of high-impedance coupled microstrip lines, tapped on the Input-Output (I/O) ports, additional modes were excited to adjust the two transmission zeroes and to provide a bandpass response in the millimeter-wave band. Using this method, a couple of BPF structures with center frequencies of 34 GHz and 40 GHz having fractional bandwidths of 17.6 & 15.0% respectively are developed on Rogers's 5880 10-mil substrate and tested to validate the design process. Insertion losses of these filters are measured as 2.3 ± 0.4 dBm and 2.35 ± 0.36 dBm respectively. The sizes of core structures of filters are 1.26 × 3.12 mm and 1.17 × 2.76 mm respectively while extended transmission lines were connected to fit the circuit in mechanical housing with dimensions of 13.8 × 7.6 mm. Measured parameters of physical circuits are in close agreement with simulation results.
