[0003] During the implementation of this application, the inventors found that: currently, within the stopband range, the wide-stopband filter does not have a narrow-pass characteristic (the narrow-pass characteristic means that the filter can allow signals required within a specific frequency range to pass through within a relatively narrow frequency range, and does not allow signals not required within other frequency ranges to pass through), resulting in the inability of the wide-stopband filter to transmit signals within the stopband range, which limits the transmission quality of multi-functional signals.

[0037] For the convenience of the reader's understanding, the following provides a simulation example of the topology 100:

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , the topology 100 is disposed on a circuit board (not shown in the figure). The size of the circuit board (not shown in the figure) is 23.0 mm * 10.8 mm, the thickness is 0.813 mm, the dielectric constant is 3.38, and the dielectric loss is 0.0022. The specific parameters of the topology 100 are: l1 = 9.3 mm, l2 = 4.75 mm, l3 = 6.1 mm, l4 = 2.5 mm, l5 = 13.4 mm, l6 = 3.3 mm, l7 = 1.7 mm, l8 = 7.6 mm, w1 = 0.1 mm, w2 = 0.8 mm, w3 = 0.2 mm, w4 = 0.1 mm. Please refer to Figure 3, The figure shows the results obtained from the simulation experiment based on the above dimensions and parameters. The simulation results of the S parameters are shown in the figure. Specifically: the stopband range with an isolation greater than 20 dB is 1.624 GHz - 8.656 GHz, the center frequency of the stopband is 5.14 GHz, the absolute bandwidth is 7.032 GHz, and the relative bandwidth is 136.8%. In addition, there are three transmission zeros in the stopband, located at 1.74 GHz, 5.28 GHz, and 8.521 GHz respectively; there are two passbands beside the stopband, and there are five transmission poles in the passbands, located at 0 GHz, 0.943 GHz, 9.36 GHz, 10.061 GHz, and 10.633 GHz respectively. Through the above three transmission zeros and five transmission poles, not only the high isolation characteristics of the stopband and the low insertion loss and flatness of the passband are ensured, but also the high selectivity characteristics of the sidebands of the band-stop filter are ensured. In addition, there are two passbands with relatively narrow bandwidths in the stopband. Among them, for the first passband, the passband range with a reflection coefficient less than -10 dB is 2.891 GHz - 3.029 GHz, the center frequency of the passband is 2.96 GHz, the absolute bandwidth is 0.138 GHz, and the relative bandwidth is 4.66%; for the second passband, the passband range with a reflection coefficient less than -10 dB is 7.093 GHz - 7.207 GHz, the center frequency of the passband is 7.15 GHz, the absolute bandwidth is 0.114 GHz, and the relative bandwidth is 1.59%.

[0039] Through the simulation example of the above topological structure 100, it can be proved that the wide-stopband filter designed based on the above topological structure 100 has the narrow-pass characteristic.

[0040] An embodiment of the present invention provides a topological structure 100, including an input end 10, an output end 20, a first microstrip line 31, a second microstrip line 32, a third microstrip line 33, a fourth microstrip line 34, a fifth microstrip line 35, a sixth microstrip line 36, a seventh microstrip line 37, a first open stub 41, a second open stub 42, and a third open stub 43.

The other end of the first microstrip line 31 is connected to the input end 10. The other end of the sixth microstrip line 36 is respectively connected to the second open stub 42 and the third open stub 43. The other end of the seventh microstrip line 37 is connected to the output end 20. The other end of the second microstrip line 32 is connected to one end of the third microstrip line 33. The other end of the third microstrip line 33 is connected to one end of the fourth microstrip line 34. The other end of the fourth microstrip line 34 is connected to one end of the fifth microstrip line 35. The other end of the fifth microstrip line 35 is connected to the first open stub 41. In this way, the wide-stopband filter designed based on this topological structure 100 has the narrow-pass characteristic and can improve the transmission quality of multifunctional signals.

[0041] The present utility model further provides an embodiment of a filter. The filter includes the above-mentioned topological structure 100. For the specific structure and function of the above-mentioned topological structure 100, reference can be made to the above-mentioned embodiment, and details will not be repeated here.

[0042] For the convenience of readers' understanding, the following provides the idea of designing a wide stopband filter with narrow pass characteristics based on the above-mentioned topological structure 100, which is as follows:

[0043] Assume that the characteristic impedance of the first microstrip line 31 is equal to that of the seventh microstrip line 37, and both are Z1; the characteristic impedances of the second microstrip line 32, the third microstrip line 33, the fourth microstrip line 34, the fifth microstrip line 35, and the first open stub 41 are equal, all being Z2; the characteristic impedance of the sixth microstrip line 36 is Z3; the characteristic impedances of the second open stub 42 and the third open stub 43 are equal, and both are 2Z3. In addition, since the above-mentioned topological structure 100 is equivalent to a left-right symmetric structure, the wide stopband pass filter designed based on the above-mentioned topological structure 100 can be analyzed by the odd-even mode analysis method. The analysis process is as follows:

[0044] First, obtain the odd-mode form of the topological structure 100. Please refer to Figure 4 , the odd-mode form is that one end of the first microstrip line 31 is connected to the input terminal 10, and the other end of the first microstrip line 31 is grounded. When the input admittance Y ino is zero, two odd-mode transmission poles of the topological structure 100 can be obtained. The frequencies corresponding to the two odd-mode transmission poles are respectively:

[0045] f op1 = 0

[0046] f op2 = 2f0

[0047] where f0 is the center frequency of the band-stop filter.

[0048] Then, obtain the even-mode form of the topological structure 100. Please refer to Figure 5, the even - mode form is that one end of the eighth microstrip line 38 is successively connected to the ninth microstrip line 39, the tenth microstrip line 310, the eleventh microstrip line 311 and the fourth open - circuit stub 44, and the other end of the eighth microstrip line 38 is connected to the first microstrip line 31 and the twelfth microstrip line 312. One end of the first microstrip line 31 far from the eighth microstrip line 38 is connected to the input end 10, and one end of the twelfth microstrip line 312 far from the eighth microstrip line 38 is connected to the second open - circuit stub 42. Among them, the electrical length of the eighth microstrip line 38 is equal to the electrical length of the second microstrip line 32, the electrical length of the ninth microstrip line 39 is equal to the electrical length of the third microstrip line 33, the electrical length of the tenth microstrip line 310 is equal to the electrical length of the fourth microstrip line 34, the electrical length of the eleventh microstrip line 311 is equal to the electrical length of the fifth microstrip line 35, the electrical length of the twelfth microstrip line 312 is equal to the electrical length of the sixth microstrip line 36, and the electrical length of the fourth open - circuit stub 44 is equal to the electrical length of the first open - circuit stub 41; the characteristic impedance of the eighth microstrip line 38, the characteristic impedance of the ninth microstrip line 39, the characteristic impedance of the tenth microstrip line 310, the characteristic impedance of the eleventh microstrip line 311 and the characteristic impedance of the fourth open - circuit stub 44 are equal, all being 2Z2; the characteristic impedance of the twelfth microstrip line 312 is 2Z3. When the input admittance Y ine is infinite, it can be obtained that the topological structure 100 has five even - mode transmission poles, which are respectively:

[0049]

[0050] Among them:

[0051]

[0052] Finally, calculate the transmission zeros of the topological structure 100. Specifically, multiply the ABCD matrices of the cascaded resonators that make up the topological structure 100 in sequence to obtain the ABCD matrix corresponding to the topological structure 100; convert the ABCD matrix of the topological structure 100 into the corresponding S matrix. When |S21| = 0, it can be obtained that this topological structure 100 has three transmission zeros, and the frequencies corresponding to the three transmission zeros are respectively:

[0053]

[0054] f z2 = f0

[0055]

[0056] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the topological structure 100 has two odd - mode transmission poles, five even - mode transmission poles, and three transmission zeros. Regardless of how the values of the parameters Z1, Z2, and Z3 change, the relative positions of these transmission zero - poles, that is, f op1 < f ep1 < f z1 < fep2 <f z2 <f ep3 <f z3 <f ep4 <f op2 <f ep5 , which will not change. Therefore, the filter designed based on this topological structure 100 is a wide-stopband filter with narrow-pass characteristics.

[0057] The present utility model also provides an embodiment of a communication device. The communication device includes the above filter. For the specific structure and function of the above filter, reference may be made to the above embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

[0058] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
