Abstract

A novel compact quasi-millimeter-wave UWB bandpass filter (BPF) with a midband frequency of 26 GHz and a fractional bandwidth of 20% is developed for automotive radar systems. Based on the even- and odd-mode method, analytical closed-form formulas are derived first for accurate design of two microstrip stubs-loaded multi-mode ring resonators with pre-designated bandwidths and multiple transmission zeros in their stopbands. Then a UWB BPF is configured by cascading these two ring resonators and a parallel-coupled step-impedance resonator. The filter exhibits desired wide passband with a minimum measured insertion loss of 1.8dB, sharp attenuations near the passband, and very wide stopband with measured attenuations larger than 30dB over 10–40GHz. The Federal Communications Commission's UWB indoor limit is satisfied quite well.
