| Abstract:In order to solve the problem that the reflected signal within stopband of the Ku-band bandpass filter
(BPF) may disturb the system performance, a Ku-band absorptive bandpass filter (ABPF) with ultra-wideband reflectionless
behavior is studied in this paper. The filter consists of an ultra-wideband multi-stage Wilkinson-type power divider/ combiner,
wideband 90° phase shifters and conventional reflective microstrip BPFs. By utilizing the equal-amplitude and antiphase
characteristics of the reflected waves in the two branches of the power divider/ combiner, the power of reflected waves is
absorbed by the isolation resistors to realize the reflectionless behavior in stopband of the ABPF. The phase shifter adopts a
microstrip line loaded with two λ /4 short-ended stubs in parallel and a reference line to realize phase shifting around 90° over
an ultra-wide bandwidth. A Ku-band ABPF with a center frequency of 15. 2 GHz has been designed and fabricated. Tested
results show that the proposed ABPF has a 3 dB bandwidth of 1. 4 GHz and an absorption bandwidth of 5~26. 5 GHz at both
input and output ports. The ABPF features good ultra-wideband absorptive behavior. |
