The objective of this report is to study and simulate a class of differential–mode ultra–
wideband (UWB) bandpass filters on microstrip line with good common–mode
suppression. Differential–mode filter on microstrip line is selected in this FYP topic
because the microstrip line is the most popular planar transmission line and it can be
easily integrated to a lot of existing balanced devices. The proposed four–port
balanced filter is ideally symmetric with respect to the central plane in horizon.
Therefore, this horizontal symmetrical plane can be considered as a perfectly electric
or magnetic wall if one of the paired ports is driven by differential– or common–mode
signals respectively. By adding a pair of open–ended stubs along this symmetrical
plane, the introduced stubs are electrically short–circuited in differential–mode and
thus giving no influence on the differential–mode frequency response. However,
under the common–mode excitation, these introduced stubs actually lead to extension
and reconstruction of the vertical arms, thereby providing us with an expected
capacity on re–shaping the common–mode frequency response. The microstrip-line
filter is fabricated on the RT/Duroid 6010 with a substrate thickness of 0.635 mm and
dielectric constant of 10.8. After its initial dimensions are determined via simple
transmission-line model, its final layout is then optimally designed using the fullwave
ADS simulator. A wide differential-mode passband is achieved in the frequency range
of 2.7-5.3 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of about 65 % centre at 4.0 GHz. Over
this frequency range, the common-mode attenuation with three transmission zeros is
higher than 20.0 dB in simulation. |
