Abstract

A high-selectivity band pass filter with controllable attenuation based on graphene nanoplates is proposed in this paper. Graphene with controllable resistance has a good uniform attenuation effect to electric field intensity. The filter utilizes quarter wavelength stepped impedance resonators and mixed electromagnetic coupling to have compact circuits and high performance. The graphene nanoplates are loaded on the microstrip resonator to reduce the electric field intensity, which results in a flat attenuation in the passband. In addition, the filter has two transmission zeros, which lead to a strong selectivity. Finally, a high-selectivity bandpass filter with controllable attenuation is formed. By changing the bias voltage of graphene, a controllable attenuation of 1.64–11.13 dB can be achieved in the working passband centered at 1.36 GHz. In order to validate the concept, the prototype is fabricated and measured. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results. The proposed high-selectivity bandpass filter with controllable attenuation based on graphene nanoplates has widely potential in reconfigurable wireless communication systems and radar systems due to its high integration and versatility.

Highlights
