In this paper, a novel ultra-wideband common-mode filter (CMF) has been proposed based on the asymmetric short-stub loaded resonator (ASSLR). This CMF consists of a pair of meandered differential lines, the proposed resonator using ASSLR and the ground plane. By applying ASSLR to the CMF design, multiple resonant modes can be introduced in the single CMF unit-cell under the even-mode operation, and correspondingly generate four CM transmission zeros within 12 GHz. As a result, the simulated results show that the proposed CMF can achieve ultra-wide CM stopband from 2.5 to 11.1 GHz (Scc21< -10 dB) with 126.5% fractional bandwidth. In addition, with the low insertion loss and flat group delay for differential-mode, the proposed CMF is expected to keep good signal integrity of differential signals.

This paper presents high performance 0.34THz waveguide filters based on MEMS technology. The relationship between fabrication error and filter performance was studied and a quantitative model is given. The fabrication geometrical tolerance can be controlled to be lower than 5% for iris structures (and ±5μm for resonant cavities). Our test results show a good agreement with simulation results when fabrication error is less than ~5 µm, the test result shows a performance of ~0.5dB insertion with ~5.29% relative bandwidth.

This paper proposed a wide-angle impedance matching (WAIM) layer for wideband phased array antennas. The proposed WAIM is based on the tightly coupled concept which introduces an additional capacitance between unit cells and provides a wide operating bandwidth. To study the scanning ability of the array, a 32 by infinite and an infinite by 32 linear arrays are analyzed. Viewing from the simulated results, by adding the proposed WAIM over a phased array antenna, the common bandwidth is improved to around 64.6% (from 5.37 to 10.5 GHz) with the scanning ability of ±60° in E-, H- and D-plane. Besides, the WAIM has the advantage of low profile and light weight properties.

A novel tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on ring multi-mode resonator (R-MMR) is proposed in this paper. The filter consists of an R-MMR and a pair of parallel coupled lines. Because the R-MMR is symmetrical, its resonant characteristics can be analyzed by using odd- and even-mode analysis method. When a couple of stubs are loaded on the ring resonator, six transmission poles and four transmission zeros are created, and a tri-band BPF is realized by employing a couple of parallel coupled lines. To miniaturize the size, the R-MMR is folded. A prototype is designed, fabricated and measured. Good agreement is obtained between the simulated and measured results.

This work presents the design of a integrated power amplifier with a built-in analog predistorter. The amplifier is based on 0.25um GaAs pHEMT process. The power amplifier adopts a two-stage common source structure, and an analog predistorter is added between the stages to improve the linearity of the power amplifier. The analog predistorter has a simple structure, low insertion loss and high integration, which is suitable for on-chip integration. The gain of amplifier is greater than 25dB in 16-18GHz. The IMD3 can achieve a maximum improvement of 30dB near the saturation power back-off of 3dB.

This paper presents a dandelion topology for multi-port (1-to-N) filtering power divider, which can be applied to either the single-ended or balanced designs. Compared with the traditional tree topology, the number of resonators is reduced significantly. Meanwhile, the filtering order and the port number are mutually independent. Based on this topology, the two functions of filtering and power dividing can be designed independently. Three prototypes with equal/unequal split ratio are simulated to show the advantages of the proposed topology.

A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) embedded metal-via array H-plane horn antenna with slots is presented. With additional via and a pair of slots etched on metallization, antenna gain is higher and the bandwidth is wider. Simulation shows that the enhanced gain of 7.74dBi at 35GHz is obtained and the widen impedance bandwidth is 15.7% from 32.10 to 37.60GHz, whereas the simulated gain of the conventional antenna is 4.86dBi. The proposed antenna also shows a suppressed back-lobe radiation with a 34 dB front-to-back (FTB) ratio.
