Abstract
In this paper, a direct synthesis approach is proposed for design of a compact wideband differential-mode (DM) bandpass filter (BPF) on a composite triple-mode resonator. By virtue of intrinsic common-mode (CM) suppression in slotline portion, only the DM transmission performances need to be focused on in our design, so as to facilitate the design process. Consequently, a synthesis approach based on an equivalent simplified network is established to design this DM BPF, resulting to directly determine all the circuit element values. A wideband DM BPF is then designed to validate effectiveness of proposed synthesis method. Finally, two circuit prototypes have been designed, fabricated, and measured. The synthesized, simulated and measured results agree well with each other over a wide operating band, which has demonstrated the proposed DM BPFs' attractive performances, such as wide bandwidth of operation, sharpened frequency selectivity, and good CM suppression.
