Compact Wideband Fourth-Order LTCC Filter Using LC Resonators

Article Preview

Abstract:

A compact LTCC filter using LC resonators is presented. The resonator is made up of the multilayer capacitors and inductors, which are printed on multilayer ceramic. Four resonators are exploited, which makes the filter have wide passband. By properly controlling the coupling elements of each resonator, two transmission zeros can be located at both sides of the passband for better selectivity. Measured results show a bandwidth of more than 47.2%, where the centre frequency is 1.25GHz. The whole size of the filter is 4.5×3.2×1.7mm3.
