Adjustable bandwidth type ultra-wide-band band-pass filter based on parallel coupling line loading

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel adjustable bandwidth type ultra-wide-band filter. The filter comprises two pairs of coupling lines, three open microstrip transmission lines, five grounded microstrip lines, five power supply microstrip lines and five short microstrip lines. By loading varactors between the parallel coupled lines and the tail portions of the transmission lines, resonant mode and bandwidth are controlled, so that the adjustable bandwidth type ultra-wide-band filter is formed. By loading varactor values between the parallel coupling lines, coupling intensity can be adjusted, so that insertion loss can be effectively controlled. By loading varactors at terminals by means of the transmission characteristics of half-wavelength open transmission lines, the position of a generated transmission zero point can be adjusted. By means of the coupling lines with the varactors arranged in between and the half-wavelength open transmission lines with the varactors arranged on the terminals, good transmission characteristics can be realized, two side bands of a passband can be independently adjusted, and the restrain amplitude of an upper stop band within a broadband range can reach 40 dB; the structure is simple, electric property is high, and circuit integration and system packaging can be achieved easily.
