LTCC wide stopband filtering balun based on discriminating coupling

摘要

The invention discloses a LTCC wide stopband filtering balun based on discriminating coupling. The filtering balun includes a dielectric, and a first resonator, a second resonator, a first feeding line, a second feeding line, a third feeding line and a metal ground which are arranged inside the dielectric. The two resonators are both half-wavelength resonators distributed on different layers, and the layers are connected through metal through holes. the first feeding line is coupled with a specific area of the first resonator for performing feeding to suppress a second harmonic, and the second feeding line and the third feeding line are coupled with a specific area of the second resonator for performing feeding to suppress a third harmonic, thus realizing a wide stopband filtering performance. The second feeding line and the third feeding line are symmetrically arranged about a center of the second resonator, thus realizing a same-amplitude reverse-phase balun output characteristic. The LTCC wide stopband filtering balun based on discriminating coupling according to the invention can suppress the second harmonic and the third harmonic, and a LTCC multi-layer circuit technology used reduces a size of a filtering balun.
