Abstract:

The traditional microstrip balanced bandpass filter (BPF) usually has disadvanteges of large size and low common-mode suppression. This paper presents a novel compact microstrip balanced BPF with improved performance of common-mode suppression. Firstly, it proposes the differential and common-mode equivalent circuits of the balanced BPF. Secondly, a very compact interdigital coupled resonator is analyzed, which has the characteristic of strong mismatch with common-mode signals. By using this novel resonator, a balanced BPF with good performance and miniaturization can be achieved. Finally, a balanced BPF centering at 2.45GHz is designed and fabricated. Measured results and simulated results are in good agreement.

Key words: compact, common-mode, differential-mode, balanced bandpass filter
