A DUAL-MODE SPLIT MICROSTRIP RESONATOR AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN FREQUENCY SELECTIVE DEVICES

摘要

A dual-mode microstrip resonator whose strip conductor is partially split from its one end by a longitudinal slot has been studied. The resonator has two fundamental modes, even and odd ones. The difference of their frequencies is controlled by varying the slot length. Based on such resonators, original structures of a diplexer and passband filters including dual-band have been designed. Measured performances of their fabricated prototypes prove applicability of designed devices in microwave engineering.
