X-band microstrip narrowband BPF composed of split ring resonator

Abstract

The paper deals with the development of X-band microstrip narrowband bandpass filter (BPF) composed of split ring resonator (SRR). The proposed filter is designed on a grounded 0.508mm thick Roger RT/Duroid® 5880 dielectric substrate with the dimension of 25mm length and 20mm width. Some parametric studies to achieve an optimum design of microstrip narrowband BPF are investigated prior realization by varying the physical parameters of SRR including the width of rings and the gap between rings. From the experimental characterization, it shows that the realized microstrip narrowband BPF has a center frequency of 9.02 GHz with the values of return loss and insertion loss of 15.231 dB and 2.768 dB, respectively. The measured result is 20MHz lower than the simulated one which has center frequency of 9 GHz with the values of return loss and insertion loss of 15.025 dB and 2.242 dB, respectively.
