  • the portion of curve S 11 situated between these two reflection zeros can go back up to -10 dB, which generates a separation of the enlarged bandwidth into two distinct bandwidths. Therefore, the distance e should not be too small not to cause reflection greater than -10 dB in the extended bandwidth.
  • the transmission coefficient S 21 of the frequency response shows a bandwidth of -3 dB (generally accepted definition of the bandwidth in transmission), between about 2.7 and 4.5 GHz, as well as two transmission zeros at about 5.1 and 6.9 GHz.
  • One of these two out-of-band transmission zeros is due to the coupling between the two resonators of the filter device 50 over the entire length of their portions LE1 5 , LE2 5 on the one hand and LS1 5 , LS2 5 on the other hand .
  • the other of these two transmission zeros is due to the additional intra-resonator couplings created by the folding of the conductive strips on themselves.
  • These two transmission zeros cause a high rejection of the high band filter and an asymmetry of the frequency response due to the low band mean rejection. But this asymmetry can be advantageous, especially for a direct integration application of the filtering device 50 in a differential antenna. Indeed, such antennas generally have high resonances low frequency and therefore equivalent to high-pass filters, which compensates for the asymmetry of the filter device 50 by improving its low band rejection.
  • FIG. 7 A second example of differential filtering device with improved compactness is shown schematically on the figure 7 .
  • This device 50 ' comprises a pair of resonators 52' and 54 ', coupled to each other by capacitive coupling and disposed on the same plane face 56 of a dielectric substrate. These two resonators are similar to those, 52 and 54, of the device of the figure 4 .
  • the two resonators 52 'and 54' are not symmetrical with respect to an axis normal to the plane P 'situated on the plane face 56. Indeed, the distance e 1 separating the two conductive strips LE1 and LE2 of the first resonator 52 'is distinct from the distance e 2 between the two conductive strips LS1 and LS2 of the second resonator 52'. In the illustrated example, the distance e 2 is greater than the distance e 1 .
  • the capacitive coupling between the two resonators 52 'and 54' is not broken so far. Indeed, due to the folding of the conductive strips on themselves, they remain in vis-à-vis at least a portion of their length, more specifically at least a portion of the lengths LE1 5 and LS1 5, d the one hand, and lengths LS2 and LE2 5 5, on the other hand. In comparison with the existing one, it would not be possible, for example, to conceive of such a difference between the distances e 1 and e 2 in the filtering device described with reference to FIG.
  • these distances e 1 and e 2 make it possible to adjust respectively the input and output impedances of the filtering device 50 ', it is thus possible to design a bandpass filtering device which also fulfills an adaptation function of impedances between the circuits to which it is intended to be connected.
  • the distance e 1 thus generates an input impedance Z 1 smaller than the output impedance Z 2 generated by the distance e 2 .
  • This second example allows the direct integration of a filtering device according to the invention with differential antennas and differential active circuits of different impedances. Note, however, that such a direct integration with a single filter device works all the better that the difference between the impedances Z 1 and Z 2 is small.
  • a set of several filtering devices according to the second example of the invention added in series can be used to facilitate the impedance matching between very different impedance circuits.
  • Such a set with two filtering devices is for example represented diagrammatically on the figure 8 .
  • an amplifier 70 is connected to the input of a first filtering device 72, via the input port 74 of this first filtering device. Since the impedance of the amplifier 70 has a value Z 1 , the first filtering device 72 is designed, by adjusting the distance between the folded conductive strips of its first resonator, to present a conjugate value input impedance Z 1 * thus ensuring a maximum power transfer between the first filtering device 72 and the amplifier 70.
  • An antenna 76 is connected to the output of a second filtering device 78 via the output port 80 of this second filtering device. Since the impedance of the antenna 76 has a value Z 2 , the second filtering device 78 is designed, by adjusting the distance between the folded conductive strips of its second resonator, to present a conjugate value output impedance Z 2 * thus ensuring maximum power transfer between the second filter device 78 and the antenna 76.
  • the two filtering devices 72 and 78 are advantageously connected to each other via a quarter-wave line 82 according to the invention fulfilling an inverter function, the output of the first filtering device 72 and the input of the second device.
  • filtering 78 being designed, by adjusting the distance between the folded conductive strips of the second resonator of the first filtering device 72 and the distance between the folded conductive strips of the first resonator of the second filtering device 78, to present the same impedance Z 0 .
  • This same impedance Z 0 ensures the adaptation of impedances and can be chosen so as to ensure the best possible rejection.
  • the adaptation of the impedances Z 1 and Z 2 which can be very different is via an intermediate impedance Z 0 through the assembly comprising the two asymmetric filtering devices 72 and 78 and the quarter wave line 82 .
  • the presence of the quarter wave line 82 between the two filtering devices 72 and 78 also makes it possible to improve overall the performance of the higher order filter thus constituted, in terms of bandwidth.
  • FIG. 9 A third example of differential filtering device with improved compactness is shown schematically on the figure 9 .
  • This filtering device 50 "comprises a pair of resonators 52" and 54 ", coupled together by capacitive coupling and disposed on the same plane face 56 of a dielectric substrate.
  • the two resonators 52 "and 54" are symmetrical with respect to an axis normal to the plane P 'situated on the plane face 56.
  • these two distances could be different, as in the second example, for the filtering device to further fulfill an impedance matching function.
  • this third example is distinguished from the first and second examples by the general shape of the folded conductive strips.
  • the four conductive strips are of generally annular shape, their ends being folded inside this annular general shape over a portion of predetermined length thereof, but they are more precisely of generally square shape. .
  • each of them has additional folding on at least a portion of the sides of the square general shape.
  • the conductive strip LE1 comprises three additional folds LE1 8 , LE1 9 and LE1 10 in the three sides of the square general shape not having the folding of its two ends.
  • the three additional folds are directed towards the inside of the square general shape. They are for example in the form of niche.
  • the conductive strips LE2, LS1 and LS2 comprise the same additional folds, referenced LE2 8 , LE2 9 and LE2 10 for the conductive strip LE2; LS1 8 , LS1 9 and LS1 10 for the conductive strip LS1; LS2 8 , LS2 9 and LS2 10 for the conductive strip LS2.
  • each conductive strip LE1, LE2, LS1 and LS2 implies a generally square shape of the filtering device 50 ", so the compactness of the latter is optimal.
  • the additional folds create additional capacitive and magnetic couplings that can further improve the performance of the filter device 50 ".
  • the length L of the folding of the two ends of each conductive strip within its square general shape can be adjusted to adjust the bandwidth of the filter device 50 ".
  • the dimensions of the filter device 50 "are obtained close to ⁇ / 20 per side.
  • an improved compactness filter device is not limited to the examples described above. Other geometric shapes are possible for such a filtering device, from the moment they provide for a folding of each conductive strip of each resonator on itself so as to form a capacitive coupling between its two ends.

  • this higher order filter is for example designed to operate in a high frequency band allocated to Ultra Wide Band communications, according to the European ULB standard, or even between 6 and 9 GHz.
  • the dimensions of this higher order filter 100 with improved compactness are then 6 mm long by 3.5 mm wide.

  • the transmission coefficient S 21 of this frequency response shows a bandwidth of -3 dB (generally accepted definition of the bandwidth in transmission), also between about 6 and 9 GHz, and a transmission zero at about 9.8 GHz.
  • This transmission zero causes a high rejection of the high band filter and an asymmetry of the frequency response due to the low band mean rejection. Rejections of the order of 50 dB in the high band and 30 dB in the low band are obtained. However, as indicated above, this asymmetry may be advantageous, especially for a direct integration application of this filter 100 in a differential antenna.
