    A Novel Microstrip Tunable Bandpass Filter with Constant Bandwidth

    • 摘要: 文中设计了一款新型四阶交叉耦合、中心频率可调、带宽恒定的带通滤波器。该滤波器基于谐振器之间的电磁耦合,采用由三个磁耦合和一个电耦合构成的CQ型拓扑结构,并在馈电电路中引入源与负载耦合,从而在通带两侧各产生2个传输零点;通过将同一组直流偏置电压加载于变容二极管,实现了滤波器中心频率的可调谐;利用交叉耦合理论,并依据耦合系数、外部品质因数分别随谐振频率变化的目标曲线,达成了滤波器带宽恒定、插损小、带外抑制性能好的设计目标。该滤波器仿真与实测性能基本一致,其中心频率可调范围为1.05 GHz~1.28 GHz,且在此调谐范围内3 dB带宽稳定保持在(94 MHz±3.3 MHz)。该滤波器性能满足设计要求,具备一定的应用前景。

       

      Abstract: A new fourth-order cross-coupled band pass filter with a tunable center frequency and constant bandwidth is designed in this paper. Based on the electromagnetic coupling between the resonators, a CQ-type topology consisting of three magnetic couplings and one electrical coupling is adopted, and the coupling between the source and the load is introduced in the feed circuit to generate two transmission zeros on each side of the passband. By applying the same DC bias voltage to the varactor diode, the center frequency of the filter is tuned. Using cross-coupling theory and based on the target curves where the coupling coefficient and external quality factor vary with the resonant frequency, the design objectives of constant bandwidth, low insertion loss and good out-of-band suppression are achieved. The simulation and measured performance of the filter are basically consistent. The center frequency can be tuned from 1.05 GHz to 1.28 GHz, while the 3 dB bandwidth is maintained at (94 MHz±3.3 MHz) within this tuning range. The performance of the filter meets the design requirements and it has a certain application prospect.
