摘要 本文研究應用於超寬頻通訊系統之微波帶通濾波器,此濾波器架構是由兩個帶拒濾波器:一為步階阻抗共振器(Stepped-Impedance Resonator),另一個為均勻阻抗環型共振器(Ring-Resonator)串接組成。步階阻抗共振器在此提供超寬頻所需之頻寬及低頻零點,而均勻阻抗環型共振器所產生的零點可加速高頻通帶處衰減速度(Roll-Off Rate),並可有效抑制通帶外(Out-of Band)倍頻諧波,使濾波器達到寬截止帶的效果。我們於氧化鎂(MgO)基板上以釔鋇銅氧(YBCO)高溫超導薄膜進行實際模擬設計,成果顯示通帶範圍為3.8 GHz~9.4 GHz,中心頻率f0 = 6.6 GHz,比例頻寬85%,反射損耗S11小於24dB,通帶外高頻處插入損耗S21有13dB以上的抑制效果直至15 GHz。
Abstract This thesis is focused on the microwave bandpass filter for Ultra-Wideband communication systems. The proposed ultra-wideband bandpass filter consists of cascade two bandstop filters where one is stepped-impedance resonator and the other is uniform ring resonator. The bandwidth and low frequency transmission zero is realized by the stepped-impedance resonator. The uniform ring resonator can be generated transmission zeros and suppress spurious passband by input/output feeding structure. Therefore, the transition-band roll-off rate is dramatically increased and the stopband range is significantly increased. We design a filter by using YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) high-temperature superconductor(HTS) thin films on the MgO substrate.The simulation results show that the passband is between 3.8~9.4 GHz,and the center frequency of 6.6 GHz,Fractional bandwidth (BW) Δ= 85%, return loss is better than 24 dB, and suppression on upper stopband above 13 dB until 15 GHz.
