Abstract:
RF co-designed bandpass filters/isolators (BPFIs) are based on series-cascaded non-reciprocal resonant stages, microwave resonators and multi-resonant cells. The non-reciprocal stages are shaped by an in-parallel cascaded transistor-based path and a transmission line (TL) that result in a zero-phase resonance in the forward direction and high isolation in the reversed one. This includes coupling routing diagrams (CRDs) of BPFs that result in low- and high-order transfer functions with and without transmission zeros in their forward direction and high levels of isolation in the reverse one. BPFIs provide alternative-type of filtering responses (e.g., flat-passband, quasi-elliptic) with and without gain in the forward direction and high levels of isolation in the reversed one. BPFIs include five planar microstrip/lumped element (LE) prototypes using hybrid combinations of non-reciprocal resonant stages, microwave resonators and multi-resonant cells.
