Double-passband balance filter adopting double-layer circular patch
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microwave passive devices, in particular to a dual-passband balance filter adopting a double-layer circular patch.
Background
Modern wireless communication systems require compact and high performance balanced bandpass filters. In recent years, the multi-passband filter has attracted extensive research interest due to the diversity of operating frequencies in the same device, and since many rf devices have strong robustness to electromagnetic interference and common mode noise, and thus the addition of the balancing function is required, the integration of the dual-passband, the balancing and the bandpass filtering can greatly reduce the number of microwave devices used in the same system. However, a multi-passband balanced filter with good application prospects has not been widely studied. To achieve the balancing function, a Dual-Mode Ring resonator is introduced in document 2[ w.feng, w.che, and q.xue, "New Balance-Applications for Dual-Mode Ring," IEEE micro.maga.vol., No., pp.15-23, july.2019 ]. The method has the advantages of multiple transmission zeros, high selectivity, strong harmonic suppression capability and the like.

Although the above designs use different resonators, they all use microstrip structures, resulting in a large amount of space in the circuit being underutilized, making the circuit too bulky.

The structure of the SIR takes full advantage of the reduction in circuit size.
Document 5[ q.liu, j.wang, g.zhang, l.zhu and w.wu, "a New Design Approach for Balanced bandwidth," IEEE micro.wire composite.lett.vol.29, No.1, pp.5-7, jun.2019 ] utilizes the resonance characteristics of single-wall double-wall isosceles right triangle patch resonators to achieve the effect of Balanced filtering. Compared with documents 2 to 4, 5 adopts patch resonance, has no vacant position in the circuit, and fully utilizes space. However, the simple distribution of the patches in the same plane also makes the circuit too large. Although documents 2 to 5 implement the functions of balancing and filtering, they all have only one pass band.

However, documents 6 and 7 have the same problem as documents 2 and 3, and the circuit is too large.
