Filter circuits can be Method [4] includes equal-ripple and maximally flat passband designed to accomplish this task by combining the properties of filters with general stopbands, as well as equal-ripple low-pass filter and high-pass filter into a single filter which is stopband filters with general passbands. To solve the referred as band-pass filter. A band-pass filter works to screen out frequencies that are too low or too high, giving easy passage approximation problem and to improve numerical only to certain frequencies within a specific range. At high conditioning, the design is carried out exclusively in terms of frequencies, the behavior of the discrete components changes. one or two transformed frequency variables.

Development of Planar Microstrip Resonators for Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy 2 Per Cladding Is Present on Either Side of the Substrate
Development of planar microstrip resonators for electron spin resonance spectroscopy Preprint, compiled April 2, 2020 Subhadip Roy1, a, Sagnik Saha1, a, Jit Sarkar1, and Chiranjib Mitra1 1Department of Physical Sciences, Indian Institute of Science Education And Research Kolkata,India. Abstract This work focuses on the development of planar microwave resonators which are to be used in electron spin resonance spectroscopic studies. Two half wavelength microstrip resonators of different geometrical shapes, namely straight ribbon and omega, are fabricated on commercially available copper clad microwave laminates. Both resonators have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω.We have performed electromagnetic field simulations for the two microstrip resonators and have extracted practical design parameters which were used for fabrica- tion. The effect of the geometry of the resonators on the quasi-transverse electromagnetic (quasi-TEM) modes of the resonators is noted from simulation results. The fabrication is done using optical lithography technique in which laser printed photomasks are used. This rapid prototyping technique allows us to fabricate resonators in a few hours with accuracy up to 6 mils. The resonators are characterized using a Vector Network Analyzer. The fabricated resonators are used to standardize a home built low-temperature continuous wave electron spin resonance (CW-ESR) spectrometer which operates in S-band, by capturing the absorption spectrum of the free radical DPPH, at both room temperature and 77 K. The measured value of g-factor using our resonators is consistent with the values reported in literature. The designed half wavelength planar resonators will be even- tually used in setting up a pulsed electron spin resonance spectrometer by suitably modifying the CW-ESR spectrometer. -

Lowpass Lumped-Element Coplanar Waveguide-To- Coplanar Stripline Transitions
LOWPASS LUMPED-ELEMENT COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE-TO- COPLANAR STRIPLINE TRANSITIONS Yo-Shen Lin1 and Chun Hsiung Chen2 1Department of Electrical Engineering, National Central University, Chungli 320, Taiwan, R.O.C. (email: [email protected]) 2Department of Electrical Engineering and Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan, R.O.C. (email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The lowpass coplanar waveguide-to-coplanar stripline transitions are proposed, using planar lumped-elements to realize the filter prototypes in the transition structures. The proposed transitions are very compact and can provide the combined functions of transition and filter. Simple equivalent-circuit models based on closed-form expressions are also established, from which the characteristics of various lowpass lumped-element transitions are investigated. INTRODUCTION Coplanar waveguide (CPW) and coplanar stripline (CPS) are widely used as building blocks in the design of uniplanar MMIC's [1]. To fully utilize the exclusive features of CPW and CPS, an effective interconnection between them is of crucial importance. This may allow the choice of different uniplanar line-based circuit elements in different parts of a system such that maximum circuit integration and optimal system performance may be accomplished. Various CPW-to-CPS transitions have been developed [2]-[7]. Most of these conventional transitions have bandpass behaviors [2]-[4]. The broadband transition [5] utilizing a slotline open structure has a lowpass frequency response but its insertion loss increases only gradually as the operating frequency increases. The ideally all-pass double-Y junction balun [2], in practice, also features a gradually increasing insertion loss with frequency. -

Abstract|An e®ective approach to characterize frequency-dispersive sheet materials over a wide RF and microwave frequency range based on planar transmission line geometries and a genetic algorithm is proposed. S-parameters of a planar transmission line structure with a sheet material under test as a substrate of this line are measured using a vector network analyzer (VNA). The measured S-parameters are then converted to ABCD matrix parameters. With the assumption of TEM/quasi-TEM wave propagation on the measured line, as well as reciprocity and symmetry of the network, the complex propagation constant can be found, and the corresponding phase constant and attenuation constant can be retrieved. Attenuation constant includes both dielectric loss and conductor loss terms. At the same time, phase term, dielectric loss and conductor loss can be calculated for a known transmission line geometry using corresponding closed- form analytical or empirical formulas.
