Abstract

Development of low losses, small size and broad bandwidth microwave bandpass
filter operating at higher frequencies is an active area of research. This paper presents a new
route used to design and simulate microwave bandpass filter using finite element modelling and
realized broad bandwidth, low losses, small dimension microwave bandpass filter operating at 10
GHz frequency using return loss method. The filter circuit has been carried out using Computer
Aid Design (CAD), Ansoft HFSS software and designed with four parallel couple line model and
small dimension (10 × 10 mm2) using LaAlO3 substrate. The response of the microwave filter
circuit showed high return loss -50 dB at operating frequency at 10.4 GHz and broad bandwidth
of 2.5 GHz from 9.5 to 12 GHz. The results indicate the filter design and simulation using HFSS
is reliable and have the opportunity to transfer from lab potential experiments to the industry.

Introduction:
Development of low losses and broad bandwidth microwave bandpass filter is an active area of
research for selection the high-fidelity signals within the broadcast radio in radio frequency (RF)
and microwave communication systems . Microwave bandpass filter is the essential part in the
microwave circuits and wireless communication systems, which is implemented to achieve a
unique and accurate radiation frequency . A number of reports have been published on the
microwave circuits such as the antennas, filters, phase shifters, multiplexers, couplers and delay
lines with high performance and low cost . Bandpass filters with broad bandwidth, miniaturized
size, low-power consumption, and low cost are desired for microwave broadcast application .
Through the distribution of the microwave filter components over the entire circuits, microwave
filter still occupies a lot of space. Their large dimension is due to the filter circuit distributed,
which is commonly made from several resonators, which their dimensions are proportional to the
guided wavelength. Hence, numerous researcher made quite efforts to develop the topology of
miniaturized resonators . Miniaturization of filters could be realized through change the filter
geometry by replacing the 3-dimensional structure waveguide filter with 2-dimensional planar
waveguide structure (i.e. microstrip line structure). Several microwave microstrip bandpass
filters have been designed with surface area larger than 2 cm. However, broad bandwidth
properly maintained through the coupling of two lumped elements to form the couple
transmission line . Many bandpass filters have been designed using numerus types of the lumped
elements such as, compact eight-pole , four-pole cross-coupled , and parallel-connected
network . However, all broad bandpass filters were designed with large circuit area from 225 to
5900 mm2, which have been designed and simulated using different software such as, . Bandpass
filters with small size (100 mm2), broad bandwidth and low losses, designed and simulated using
HFSS software has not investigated until now. In this work, a cascade of parallel-coupled four
lines has been adopted to realize the miniaturized microwave bandpass filter of broad bandwidth,
low losses and high performance, bandpass filter is designed to allow for the central frequency
10.0 GHz to pass through and attenuate other frequencies outside. The microwave filter is
designed with parallel coupling line model (short strip lines) using high-frequency structural
simulator (HFSS) Ansoft software . This paper describes an efficient method used to design the
microwave bandpass filter characteristic with broad bandwidth, high operation frequency, the
detailed process has explained in this article.

Results and Discussion


Summarizes the frequency response characteristics of the simulated microwave filter by HFSS,
the performance of the filter can be presented in term reflection coefficient (S11) and
transmission coefficient (S12) as a function of frequency. The return loss is calculated from S11
and insertion loss from S12. The typical filter should be having high amount of return loss, lower
insertion loss, broad bandwidth, good matching electrical connecting impedance and high
selective frequency. Obviously, the filter has around 10.5 GHz operation frequency, the filter has
broad band width of 2.5 GHz and it applicable to pass the frequencies from 9.5 GHz to 12 GHz.
Furthermore, the performance IOP Conf. Series: Materials Science and Engineering is well
showed return loss more than -50 dB at the 10.5 GHz frequency and the lowest return loss -12
dB for 11.4 GHz with approximately zero insertion losses. In general, the results of simulation
of a filter depend on line width, line height, line coupling length, and the distance between the
lines . As can be seen from Figure 2, the optimized filter has an operation frequency of ~10 GHz
with a bandwidth of ~2.5 GHz, transmission frequencies in the 9.5 – 12 GHz range, a return loss
more than -12 dB, and approximately no insertion losses. On the other hand, Kumar et al
recently designed microwave filter using finite modeling with 4-parallel coupled line pairs with a
spacing < 1 mm apart using the HFSS software. These filters on the FR4 substrate (which is a
composite material composed of flame resistant woven fiberglass cloth with an epoxy resin
binder) of dielectric constant ~4.2 and thickness ~1.58 mm, gave much inferior performance
(operating frequency ~2.48 GHz, bandwidth ~0.6 GHz, higher insertion loss ~2.2 dB, and low
return loss ~-12 dB). On the other hand, we have undertaken an extensive optimization
procedure in the present work that yielded high performance with wider bandwidth, high return
loss for couple line distance >1 mm.

Conclusion:
This work presents an innovative method used to design high return loss, wider bandwidth, and
high performance miniaturized microwave filter. The filter has designed with short parallel
couple line distance more than 1 mm. The microwave filter has been designed and simulated
using the return loss method to find the physical dimensions of the circuit components. The

microwave bandpass filter has operation frequency center at 10.5 GHz, broad bandwidth of 2.5
GHz, low return loss of -50 dB. The microwave bandpass filter is designed on the low RF losses
and small area LaAlO3 substrate. The simulation result of the designed filter has been
investigated using HFSS and found it depends on the circuit physical dimensions such as, line
width, line height, line coupling long, and the distance between the lines.
