A Planar Dual-Band Filter based on the Reduced Length Parallel Coupled Lines Seungku Lee and Yongshik Lee, Member, IEEE Sowmya Ravichandran Review paper summary: A Dual-Band Filter is obtained by cascading the reactively loaded parallel coupled lines of reduced length (< 〖90〗^0).The proposed filter have same electrical performance at both the passbands at frequencies f1 and mf1, where m is the frequency of separation between the two passbands. A complete set of design equations are derived for arbitrary number of Filter stages using standard filter synthesis technique. This provides simple, low cost and high performance filter with multiple bands. Introduction: Multiple channels are used by most of the modern communication devices. So multi band operations are of great demand in today’s communication systems. In this paper a Filter with passbands at two frequencies (f1 and mf1) is proposed. This is obtained by cascading the conventional coupled line filter with length of less than 〖90〗^0 and loading it with open circuited shunt stubs. Since the length of the coupled line is reduced, the size of the filter is reduced physically. Another advantage is that since the equations used for designing the filter is derived without using any assumption, there is no need of tuning capacitor in this circuit. Circuit Implementation: The conventional coupled line filter operates at two center frequencies when the ports 2 and 3 are grounded and the ports 1 and 4 are terminated with open circuited shunt stubs and cascading them. The shunt stubs at the cascading nodes are combined into a single shunt stub. The admittance of the stubs must be same before and after combining.RF-35 substrate with a thickness of 0.76mm and a relative permittivity of ... ... middle of paper ... ...
