Abstract
An ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of about 110%, transmission zero at the high-frequency edge, and band notches at the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) and radio frequency identification (RFID) band is presented in this paper. The filter is based on single short-circuited stub, U-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) array, two U-shaped resonators and two stepped impedance resonators (SIRs). The filter is compact and exhibits a selective filtering characteristic equivalent to a three-pole Chebyshev filter. The design procedure has been described and verified by full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation and measurement. The proposed filter has low insertion loss, sharp rejection, and excellent in and out band performance. Due to its applications in WiMAX and RFID systems, the filter may be subjected to high EM radiation from the antenna and nearby sources. Therefore, susceptibility study of such a filter is very important. Hence, the susceptibility study of the band-notched UWB BPF has been carried out by subjecting the structure to an interference source.
