Design of double-notch UWB filter with upper stopband characteristics based on ACPW-DGS.

ABSTRACT: In this manuscript, a compact (size only 9.8mm*9.8mm) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) bandpass filter with a new structure is proposed, which can be used in the UWB wireless communication band authorized by the FCC. The top plane is composed of a pair of back-to-back microstrip lines, and the ground plane structure is based on an asymmetric coplanar waveguide-defect ground structure (ACPW-DGS). UWB is formed by the vertical electromagnetic coupling of the top plane and the ground plane. On this basis, split ring resonator (SRR) and C type resonator (CTR) are utilized to place double notch bands. A novel third order nested C-type resonator (TONCTR) is obtained by performing CTR, which can further optimize the upper stopband while ensuring double notch bands. The filter can be used for filtering within the UWB system, and it can also avoid the amateur radio band (9.2 -10.3GHz) and the X-band satellite link band (9.6-12.3GHz) on UWB communication systems. Finally, the measured results from the fabricated prototype are basically consistent with the simulation results.
