A New Planar Microstrip Resonator for Microwave Circuits: The Quasi-Fractal Microstrip Resonator

1999

a new shape for microwave planar circuits using the self-similarity of the fractal geometry is presented. This new shape allows the generation of numerous resonant frequencies for this microwave planar resonator due to the surfaces encasilng. The resonant frequency assessment can be useful to concept specific filters or wide frequency band matching loads as examples, without consuming circuit surface.

Performance analysis and comparison of symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations of evanescent mode ridge waveguide filters

2009

[1] In this paper, the trade-offs between out-of-band performance, filter length, power-handling capability, and insertion loss of both symmetrical and asymmetrical evanescent mode ridge rectangular waveguide filters are investigated. As a result, clear design methodologies for optimizing such performances are proposed. The developed methodologies are then applied to design several evanescent mode filters, and a complete performance analysis of the symmetrical and asymmetrical structures is performed. From the performance analysis results, the designer can choose the more appropriate filter topology and design strategy to satisfy the prescribed specifications.

An efficient integral equation technique for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped capacitive waveguide circuits

2011

In this paper a new and efficient integral equation formulation is presented for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped capacitive waveguide devices. The technique benefits from the symmetry of the structure in order to reduce the dimensions of the problem from three to two dimensions. For the first time, this technique formulates the waveguide capacitive discontinuity problem as a 2D scattering problem with oblique incidence, combined with an efficient calculation of the parallel plate Green's functions. Results for a capacitive impedance transformer are successfully compared with measurements for validation of the proposed theory.

Flexible and Efficient Computer-Aided Design Tool for Advanced Comb-Line Rectangular Waveguide Filters

2015

A very flexible and efficient computer-aided design (CAD) tool, specifically suited for advanced comb-line rectangular waveguide filters, is presented in this work. The developed software tool, which makes use of a full-wave analysis technique based on the Boundary Integral - Resonant Mode Expansion method, permits to load the considered comb-line resonators with any number of radially symmetrical partial-height metallic posts. The implemented CAD tool also allows for dealing with coupling windows of arbitrary cross-section, thus drastically enhancing the flexibility of the computer-aided design process. The excitation of the analyzed components, which is performed by using generalized coax…
