此論文提出「集總-分散式耦合線帶通濾波器」,以達成縮小化、高止帶衰減率、寄生通帶抑制的目標。 論文中的「集總-分散式耦合線帶通濾波器」,乃藉由在傳統耦合線段的末端接上集總式電容或電感性負載,以縮短耦合線段的長度。此外,由於引入了電容性或電感性交互耦合(cross-coupling)的機制,在通帶的兩側可置入傳輸零點(transmission zero)。而傳輸零點的位置,可簡單地藉由改變產生交互耦合的電容或電感的大小去調整。我們也建立了「傳統耦合線段」與「分散-集總式耦合線段」間的簡易等效模型,並將之應用於「縮小化耦合線帶通濾波器」的設計與研究當中。 另外針對濾波器的倍頻響應,本論文也提出了改善的方法,並且不需額外增加其他元件而增加設計上的困難度。
In this study, parallel-coupled bandpass filters based on lumped-distributed coupled-line sections have been proposed to possess the merits of compact size, good selectivity, and good stopband rejection. Novel parallel-coupled bandpass filters are proposed, by using additional lumped capacitors or inductors to reduce the length of coupled-line sections. In addition, by introducing the capacitive or inductive cross-coupling effect, transmission zeros can be achieved to improve the filter selectivity. The locations of transmission zeros may be simply adjusted by varying the cross-coupling capacitance or inductance. Simple equivalent-circuit models and design formulas are also established, from which the proposed parallel-coupled bandpass filters based on lumped-distributed coupled-line sections may be design and investigated. Furthermore, the approach to suppress the spurious response is also discussed so as to enhance the stopband characteristics.
