    This paper proposes a novel lambda/4 microstrip slow wave resonator with interdigital capacitive fingers. The interdigital fingers provide a strong capacitive loading so as to miniaturize the resonator size. The resonant frequency is easily adjusted by varying the number of fingers and the spacing between fingers. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed structure, one four-pole Chebyshev and one four-pole generalized Chebyshev filter with 0.05 dB equal-ripple bandwidths of 7.5% and 5%, respectively, were designed and fabricated. An extra transmission zero can be close to the passband for high selectivity and stopband attenuation by using the proposed slow-wave resonator and the tapped input/output structure. Both filters are compact in size and exhibit good stopband rejection.

    This paper proposes a new microstrip slow-wave structure. The unit cell comprises a Schiffman section of meander line and a shunt open-circuited stub. No via-holes and ground-plane patterns are required. Simple design formulas can be used to obtain line parameters, such as the characteristic impedance and phase velocity. According to the analysis, the characteristic impedance and slow-wave factor of the proposed slow-wave line can be independently controlled by merely two layout parameters. The proposed uniplanar structure only requires a single-layer substrate and is simply constructed using the conventional printed circuit board manufacturing process. A branch-line and a rat-race coupler were designed and fabricated using the proposed structure to demonstrate its feasibility. Their sizes are only 8.49% and 4.87% of the conventional ones, respectively. This novel slow-wave structure should find wide applications in compact microwave circuits.

    A novel lambda/4 microstrip stepped-impedance resonator with interdigital coupling elements is presented in this paper. By combining the merits of these two structures, strong coupling between adjacent resonators for wideband bandpass filters can be easily obtained and the size of the filter can be largely reduced. More importantly, only a single-sided fabrication process is required in the implementation of the proposed filter. Two four-pole bandpass filters with 0.1 dB equal-ripple bandwidths of 38% and 55%, respectively, are designed and fabricated. Both filters have the advantages of compactness, wide bandwidth, and ease of fabrication.

    This letter proposes a new type of microstrip slow-wave structure. The proposed structure has the signal strips and the inserted ground strips periodically loaded in the internal part of the conventional microstrip line. The proposed microstrip line has not only the same outline contour but also a lower phase velocity compared to the conventional one, especially for the thick substrate. In addition, the slow-wave factor and the characteristic impedance are easily varied by adjusting the structural parameters. A third-order Chebyshev filter with a passband ripple of 0.05 dB and a bandwidth of 10% was designed and fabricated using the proposed microstrip line. The simulated and measured results agree well with each other.

    Tightly coupled lines are difficult to realize on the conventional printed circuit board (PCB). This paper proposes two types of novel enhanced coupled-line structures appropriate for tightly coupled directional couplers and wideband filters. The proposed coupled-line structures both have a rectangular ground-plane aperture and two inserted signal strips in the aperture to increase the coupling strength significantly. No fine lines and narrow gaps are required so as to fit the conventional PCB fabrication process. More importantly, the proposed structures only need a single-layer substrate. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed structures, one 3-dB directional coupler and two four-pole Chebyshev filters with 0.05-dB equal-ripple bandwidths of 40% and 37% are designed and realized. The coupler and filters are fabricated on a PCB substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.58 and a thickness of 0.508 mm. Good agreement between measurements and simulations is observed.
