Jagdish Shivhare, S B Jain . Design and Development of a Multi-Fold Microstrip Hairpin Line Bandpass Filter at 1400 MHz for Communication Systems. International Journal of Computer Applications. 41, 12 ( March 2012), 1-3. DOI=10.5120/5590-7028
RF and microwave bandpass filters are key components for most of the recent communication systems. A conventional hairpin-line resonator size is normally very large. A Multi-folded hairpin line resonator filter helps to reduce the size, if the required selectivity characterstrics are not critical. This paper presents the design, simulation, optimization and test results of a new class of a 4-pole multi-fold hairpin line microstrip resonator filter with 60-65% reduction in size and moderate selectivity compared to the conventional hairpin line resonator filters for L/S band communication systems.
