Abstract
AbstractA dual‐band stub (DBS) in a hybrid lumped and distributed configuration is presented in this paper, which comprises one lumped kernel circuit unit cell (KCUC) centered between two uniform transmission lines. Image parameter theory is imposed to extract the DBS phase and impedance bandwidth properties. An odd‐even mode resonant frequency ratio is defined, capable of determining all the DBS element values as well as regulating the DBS size and its second working bandwidth. By converting the lumped KCUC into a quasi‐lumped microstrip topology, a purely planar DBS is automatically implemented by employing the aggressive space mapping (ASM). Through the customized ASM process, the finalized DBS dimensions can be generated within just a few full‐wave simulations. The relatively high accuracy and efficiency of the ASM are affirmed by comparing its performance to those of the traditional direct optimization algorithms. As an example, a DBS with WLAN dual frequencies and extended bandwidth is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree well with the simulated results, justifying the DBS properties and its ad hoc ASM optimization technique.
