Abstract
In this paper, a new approach for designing a planar high frequency selectivity filtering coupler based on a circular patch resonator is proposed. In order to explain the operating principle, the resonant property of the circular patch resonator has been investigated firstly. Two circular patch resonators connected by two microstrip lines are used in this design. A filtering coupler is achieved by adjusting the feeder position and the length and width of the microstrip line used to connect the two resonators. Without additional circuits, the desired 0° and 180° phase differences are realized by the inherent in-phase and out-of-phase characteristics of E-fields at the TM11 mode. To improve the passband selectivity, transmission zeros are created by introducing a coupling between the source and load through the coupling slots etched on the ground. Finally, a prototype of the filtering coupler centered at 2.12 GHz is designed, implemented, and tested, while the measured results coincide well with simulated ones, verifying the proposed design concept.
