The invention belongs to the technical field of
microwave filter design, and particularly relates to a
microstrip filter of a CQ frequency-variable
coupling structure and a design method of the
microstrip filter. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, according to required filter indexes, such as order,
center frequency, bandwidth,
return loss and transmission zero position, solving a transverse matrix M of a filter by utilizing a filter comprehensive theory; then performing similarity transformation and scaling transformation on the transverse matrix to eliminate unnecessary
coupling terms in the transverse matrix so as to obtain a filter topological structure and a frequency-dependent
coupling matrix M'which are easier to implement; a quarter-
wavelength short-circuit stepped impedance
resonator is selected as a
resonance unit of the micro-strip filter
simulation model; finally, relevant coupling parameters of the micro-strip filter
simulation model are made to approach the theoretical coupling coefficient by adjusting relevant
physical structure parameters of the
resonator, and then design is completed. By introducing a frequency-dependent coupling mechanism into the structure, the position of a transmission zero point is flexible and controllable, and the spectrum selectivity and the out-of-
band rejection capability of the filter can be effectively improved.
