Design of New, Compact and Efficient Microstrip Filters for 5G Wireless CommunicationsAl-Yasir, Yasir I.A. January 2020 (has links)
The electromagnetic spectrum is becoming increasingly congested due to the
rapid development of wireless and mobile communication in recent decades.
New, compact and efficient passband filters with multi-functions and good
performance are highly demanded in current and future wireless systems. This
has also driven considerable technological advances in reconfigurable/tunable
filter and filtering antenna designs. In light of this scenario, the objectives of this
thesis are to design, fabricate and measure efficient, compact, multi-standard,
and reconfigurable/tunable microstrip resonator filters and study the integration
of the resonators with patch antennas. As a passive design, a compact dual-band
filter is implemented to cover 2.5 to 2.6 GHz and 3.4 to 3.7 GHz for 4G and 5G,
respectively. Another design is also presented with the advantages of a wide
passband of more than 1 GHz. Conversely, new and compact reconfigurable
filters are designed using varactor and PIN diodes for 4G and 5G. The proposed
filters are tunable in the range from 2.5 to 3.8 GHz. The bandwidth is adjustable
between 40 and 140 MHz with return losses between 17 to 30 dB and insertion
loss of around 1 dB. Also, the thesis investigates the design of cascaded and differentially-fed filtering antenna structures. The cascaded designs operate at
2.4 and 6.5 GHz and have a relatively wide-band bandwidth of more than 1.2
GHz and a fractional bandwidth of more than 40%. For the differentially-fed
structures, good performance is achieved at the 3.5 GHz with a high realized gain
of more than 7.5 dBi is observed. / European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) under grant agreement H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016 SECRET-722424.

Varactor-based reactive network design for ESPAR phased array and antenna applicationsNelson, Paul Jeffrey 01 January 2008 (has links)
Widespread adoption of phased array technologies has been hindered primarily by the high cost associated Transmitter/Receiver (T/R) modules. In conventional phased arrays, these vital elements often comprise up to fifty-percent of the entire array's expense. Recent development of a new type of phased array - the Electronically Steerable Passive Array Radiator (ESPAR) - is underway at laboratories around the globe. This innovative concept utilizes mutual coupling to excite neighboring (passive) elements placed in the near field of a center-driven (active) radiator. Using this method, T/R modules are only required for the active radiators. The radiation pattern of an ESP AR is controlled electronically by means of variable reactive loading of the passive antenna elements. In order to attain the full range of beam steering offered by this array, a broad range of reactance is required at the input port of each passive antenna. This thesis presents a varactor-based reactive network design that can accurately and reliably produce a wide range of reactance. The purpose of this research was to design a network compatible with the requirements of the ESP AR phased array, which is in development at the Antennas, RF, and Microwave Integrated Systems CARMI) laboratory at the University of Central Florida. To this end, an elaborate survey weighing different varactor-based reactive network and DC bias tee designs was conducted. This study took into account the practical issues and limiting factors that arose during design and implementation of such a network. While this specific network design was constrained to operate at 3 GHz, the proposed design methodology may be applied to realize reactive networks at other frequencies. This flexibility allows incorporation into similar ESPAR's and a plethora of other relevant devices.

Electronically adjustable bandpass filterTerblanche, Phillip 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis presents the study, analysis and design of electronically tunable filters, that can be tuned over a wide
frequency range (20-500MHz), for use in a direct sampling receiver. The final design does not have to be a
single filter, but may be comprised of a filter bank which enables switching between the filters. The band of
interest is too low to use normal transmission lines and lumped elements have to be used. Different topologies
that can implement Coupled Resonator filters with lumped elements are investigated. Devices that can be used
for tuning are also investigated and varactor diodes are found to be the most suitable tuning devices currently
available. Two filters, one at the high-end and one at the low-end of the band, were designed and built, both
using varactor diodes. These filters perform well in terms of tuning range, but achieving low losses with current
technologies in this band remains difficult. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis meld die studie, analise en ontwerp van elektronies verstelbare filters, wat verstelbaar is oor ’n
wye band (20-500MHz), vir gebruik in ’n direk-monster-ontvanger. Die finale ontwerp hoef nie ’n enkele filter
te wees nie, maar kan bestaan uit ’n filterbank wat skakeling tussen die filters toelaat. Die betrokke band is
te laag vir die gebruik van normale transmissielyne en diskrete komponente moet gebruik word. Verskillende
topologieë wat gekoppelde resoneerder filters implementeer met diskrete komponente is ondersoek. Verstelbare
komponente word ook ondersoek en varaktor diodes blyk die mees geskikte verstelbare komponent wat huidig
beskikbaar is in hierdie band. Twee filters, een aan die hoë kant en een aan die lae kant van die band, is ontwerp
en gebou, beide met varaktor diodes. Hierdie filters het wye verstelbare bereik, maar dit is steeds moeilik om
verliese te beperk met die huidige tegnologie.

Conception et réalisation de filtres microondes planaires accordables par varactors, à base de structures périodiquesPistono, Emmanuel 11 July 2006 (has links) (PDF)
L'objectif de ce travail fut de concevoir des filtres accordables dans le domaine RF/microondes. Après avoir dressé un état de l'art du filtrage accordable microonde et défini des facteurs de mérite permettant de comparer ces types de dispositifs, trois topologies de filtres ont ensuite été proposées. Ces filtres sont basés sur des structures périodiques planaires constituées de lignes de propagation et de capacités chargeant ces lignes. Pour les trois études présentées, des modélisations semi-réparties de ces structures ont été effectuées, modélisations analytiques prenant en considération un modèle réparti des lignes de propagation et un modèle localisé des capacités considérées. Des règles de conception simples ont alors été déduites. Des filtres fixes et accordables ont pu être conçus à partir de ces méthodes de conception puis réalisés en technologie coplanaire hybride. L'accord de la fréquence de fonctionnement et/ou de la bande passante de ces filtres est réalisé par l'intermédiaire de varactors chargeant les lignes de propagation, les varactors que nous avons utilisés étant du type jonctions semiconductrices polarisées en inverse présentant des facteurs de qualité acceptables aux fréquences de travail considérées pour nos prototypes (entre 0,5 et 9 GHz). Les mesures des prototypes réalisés ont ensuite permis de valider les études théoriques proposées.

Synthesis and design of tunable microwave bandpass filters using planar patch resonators / Synthesis and Design of Tunable Microwave Bandpass Filters using Planar Patch ResonatorsLacorte Caniato Serrano, Ariana Maria da Conceição 02 May 2011 (has links)
L'objectif de la thèse était la conception et la synthèse de filtres RF passe-bande reconfigurables, basés sur des résonateurs de type “Patch”. Une méthode de conception dédiée à la synthèse des filtres reconfigurables a été développée et appliquée à deux filtres reconfigurables basés sur des « patchs » triangulaire et circulaire. La technique de synthèse repose sur l'analyse de la matrice de couplage, facilitée par une analyse électromagnétique des modes propres des résonateurs « Patch ». Les filtres reconfigurables ont été conçus et optimisés à l'aide de simulations électromagnétiques 3D en incluant le modèle électrique des composants localisés utilisés, diodes varactors et capacités fixes. Les deux filtres reconfigurables ont été réalisés en technologie circuit imprimé. Les dimensions minimum du « layout » ont été choisies afin d'être compatibles avec une technologie bas coût, la dimension la plus faible n'étant pas inférieure à 0,5 mm. / The objective of this thesis is the design and synthesis of tunable bandpass filters at microwave frequencies using planar patch resonators. A methodology for the design and synthesis of tunable patch filters is developed and applied to two filters with triangular and circular topologies. The methodology provides techniques to extract the coupling scheme that models the filter behavior and the necessary equations for calculating the corresponding coupling matrix. Then, the theoretical filter response resulting from the analysis of the coupling matrix coefficients is compared to the results of complete simulations. The complete simulations combine the results of the 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the filter layout with the results of the electrical simulation of the tuning devices, represented by their lumped elements equivalent model. This allows the correct model of the tuning effect and the definition of the tuning possibilities and limits. In order to validate the methodology, the tunable patch filters are fabricated using Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC) technology on flexible substrates. The minimum dimensions are greater than 0.5 mm, ensuring a low cost fabrication process.
