Description
A TUNEABLE BANDPASS FILTER
The present invention relates to a tuneable bandpass filter. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a tuneable bandpass filter comprising a plurality of coupled resonators, the resonators being arranged in first and second loops, each connected to a common structure, the resonators being arranged such that the filter can be de-composed into low pass and high pass sub filters, one sub filter being arranged to receive the output of the other.
There are many requirements which require a filter constructed from coupled resonant structures to be tuned with control over operating bandwidth and frequency whilst retaining fixed absolute rejection requirements relative to the band edges. Using known synthesis and implementation methods tuning band pass filters with variable frequency and bandwidth would require tuning of both the resonant frequency of the resonators and the coupling between the resonators and would only meet relative rejection requirements.
This results in filters which are complex to implement.
The tuneable bandpass filter according to the invention seeks to overcome this problem.

The tuneable bandpass filter according to the invention has a bandwidth and centre frequency of bandpass response which can be tuned by tuning the resonators only, without the need to adjust the coupling between resonators.
The common structure can comprise a single common resonator, the end resonators of the upper and lower loops being connected to the common resonator.
The low pass sub filter can comprise the common resonator and the resonators of the lower loop.

Bandpass filters at RF and microwave frequencies are commonly realised as networks of resonant circuits with coupling between them. Shown in figures 1(a) and 1(b) are such known bandpass filters 1. The filters 1 each comprise a plurality of resonators 2. The *:* 30 resonators 2 are coupled together in cross coupled ladder configurations as shown. Input and output connections to the bandpass filters I are through non-resonant circuit nodes 3,4.
The synthesis of these networks to generate arbitrary asymmetric responses is known.
The coupling elements shown as diagonal lines can be generated in either direction.
The centre of the passband of the filter 1 is determined by the resonant &equency of the resonators 2 and the general shape of the response is determined by the ratios and topology of the couplings. Changing the centre frequency of the filter I can be achieved by changing only the resonator frequency of the resonators 2. Changing the relative bandwidth of a filter 1 requires the modification of the coupling between the resonators 2 and the frequencies of the resonators 2. Such filters I tend to be complex both to manufacture and to use and in general will only retain a relative selectivity requirement if the couplings are not modified.
An infinite number of variants of the structures in figure I can be achieved by applying rotational transformations on the coupling matrix of the filter 1.
Shown in figure 2 is a tuneable bandpass filter 5 according to the invention. The filter 5 comprises a common structure 6 comprising a single common resonator 7. The filter 5 comprises an upper loop 8 comprising first and second end resonators 9,10 coupled together by a signal path II. Each end resonator 9,10 is further coupled to the common resonator 7. The upper loop 8 further comprises a plurality of further resonators 12-15 coupled along a plurality of signal paths 16 between the end resonators 9,10. The *"*** 25 resonators 9,10, 12-15 of the upper loop 8 are coupled in a cross coupled ladder S...
configuration. The diagonal couplings 16 between the resonators on different rungs can *s** be generated in either direction. The dotted lines show repeated units. In this embodiment the upper loop 8 comprises six resonators although other embodiments with 8, 10, 12 etc resonators are also possible. Coupled to one of the end resonators 10 of the upper loop 8 is a non-resonant output signal node 17.
The filter 5 also comprises a lower loop 18 comprising first and second end resonators 19,20 coupled together by a signal path 21. Each end resonator 19,20 is coupled to the common resonator 7. The lower loop 18 further comprises a plurality of further resonators 22-25 coupled along a plurality of signal paths 26 between end resonators 19,20. The topology of the lower loop 18 is such that, in this embodiment, the filterS has complex conjugate symmetry about the common resonator 7. Coupled to one of the end resonators 20 of the lower loop 18 is a non-resonant input signal node 27.
Shown in figure 3 is an equivalent circuit 28 for the tuneable bandpass filter 5 of figure 2.
In the equivalent circuit 28 the tuneable bandpass filter 5 is split into two sub filters 29,30 connected together at a non-resonant node 31. Like resonators in the tuneable bandpass filter 5 and its equivalent circuit 28 are referenced by like reference numerals. One of the sub-filters 29 comprises a low pass sub filter 29 having a low pass band edge at frequency w1. The other sub filter 30 comprises a high pass sub filter 30 having a high pass band edge at frequency w2. The equivalent circuit 28 comprises one more resonant node than the tuneable bandpass filter 5. This is because the common resonator 7 is formed from a merging of the first resonator 7 of the low pass sub filter 29 with the first resonator 7 of the high pass sub filter 30.
The insertion loss of the tuneable band pass filter 5 is a combination of the insertion losses of the low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 of the equivalent circuit 28. Figure 4 shows the insertion loss of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 and also the insertion loss of the sub filters 29,30 of its equivalent circuit 28, taking into account the interaction of the two.
As the band edge of the low pass sub filter 29 is at a higher frequency than the band edge of the high pass sub filter 30, the combined insertion loss comprises a bandpass region *...
centred about w0 having edges at w1 and w2 respectively. * * S...
The low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 can be altered substantially independently of each other. Accordingly, in order to change the lower band edge one adjusts the resonant frequencies of the resonators 7,9,10,12,13,14,15 of the tuneable bandpass filter S which * comprise the high pass sub filter 30 of its equivalent circuit 28. In order to change the upper band edge one adjusts the resonant frequencies of the resonators of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 comprising the low pass sub filter 29 of the equivalent circuit 28. By adjusting the upper and lower band edges one can adjust the centre and width of the bandpass region of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 purely by adjusting the resonant S frequencies of the resonators and without the need to adjust the coupling between them.
This significantly reduces the complexity of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 and increases its ease of use compared to known bandpass filters and preserves the same absolute selectivity.
The tuneable bandpass filter 5 of this embodiment normally has a high degree of symmetry. Because of the symmetry of the filter 5 the common resonator 7 is normally tuned to the centre of the filter passband. In order to change the bandwidth (constant centre frequency) one tunes all the resonators except the common resonator 7.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention (not shown) the tuneable bandpass filter 5 is asymmetric and can be decomposed into a low pass sub filter 29 of degree L and high pass sub filter 30 of degree ni-i. For such a filter 5 one must tune L resonators to move the lower edge and H resonators to move the upper edge (including the common resonator 7). To move the centre frequency of the response all resonators must be altered.
Shown in figure 5 is a further embodiment of a tuneable bandpass filter 5 according to the invention. In this embodiment the upper and lower loops 8,18 comprise an odd number of resonators. In the equivalent circuit 28 shown in figure 6 the two sub filters 29,30 have an even number of resonators. Again, the two sub filters 29,30 are low pass 29 and high pass 30 sub filters respectively. ****
In all of the above embodiments of the invention the low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 of the equivalent circuits 28 have two transmission zeros at infinity. However, this is not necessary. Shown in figure 7 is the equivalent circuit 28 for a tuneable filter 5 wherein the low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 have only one transmission zero at . .: infinity. Moving one of the transmission zeros from infinity results in additional flexibility when meeting design specifications. The low and high pass sub filters 29,30 are now connected together by two non-resonant nodes 42,43.
The topology of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 is shown in figure 8. As with the previous embodiments the filter 5 comprises upper and lower loops 8,18 each comprising a plurality of resonators. The common structure 6 however is more complex. In this embodiment the common structure 6 comprises a plurality of common couplings 44 arranged to fully couple the end resonators 45,46,51,52 of the upper and lower loops 8,18. Each end resonator 45,46,51,52 of one loop 8,18 is coupled to both end resonators 45,46,51,52 of the other loop 8,18.
The tuneable bandpass filter 5 of figure 8 retains the same basic properties of the other tuneable bandpass filters 5 according to the invention. In particular independent tuning of the bandpass filter bandwidth and centre frequency is achievable by tuning the relevant resonators. No tuning of the coupling between resonators is required to tune either centre frequency or bandwidth.
Shown in figure 9 is a further embodiment of a tuneable bandpass filter 5 according to the invention. An ideal filter would pass signals in a desired band whilst attenuating all unwanted signals with only a constant change in amplitude and constant time delay to the desired signals. If different frequency components of a complex signal arrive at different times the signal will be distorted. The requirement for a constant time delay equates to a need for a constant group delay. The absolute level of the delay is usually not important, what is important is the variation of the delay over the signal bandwidth. * * ***
The embodiment of the filter 5 of figure 9 further comprises a compensating group delay **** S..,., equalisation network 57 coupled between the input non-resonant node 27 and resonator 37 connected to the input node 27, in addition to the direct coupling between the two. The compensating group delay equalisation network 57 comprises a plurality of resonators 58,59 coupled together in series. A further compensating group delay equalisation *..: network 60 is coupled between the output non-resonant node 17 and resonator 32 coupled to the output node 17. Again, this comprises a plurality of resonators 61,62 coupled together in series. Again, this is in parallel to the direct coupling between the output node 17 and resonator 32. The responses of the compensating group delay equalisation networks 57,60 are offset from the centre frequency of the desired bandpass response so that each compensating network 57,60 affects one half of the band more than the other.
The group delay peak of the compensating networks 5 7,60 occurs at the nominal centre frequency of the compensator design. To compensate the group delay dip in the middle of the bandpass response, the nominal centre frequency of the compensators occurs within the passband of the bandpass response. In order to apply the correct compensation to the response they must be symmetrically spaced about the centre frequency of the bandpass response for symmetrical amplitude selectivity requirements.
The compensating group delay equalisation networks 57,60 can be tuned. The compensating group delay equalisation networks 57, 60 are adapted to track the tuning of the filter 5 by synchronising the frequencies, with the centre frequencies correctly offset, of the compensating group delay equalisation networks 57,60 relative to the overlap of the low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 of the tuneable bandpass filter 5.
If the centre frequency of the compensating group delay equalisation networks 57,60 relative to the overlap of the low pass and high pass sub filters 29,30 is altered the amount of compensation and the relative position of the group delay ripples can be altered.
The compensating group delay equalisation networks 57,60 can be used to reduce the group delay variation for all tuneable bandwidths. In addition to reducing the group delay *...
variation the variation in insertion loss in the compensation networks 57,60 also reduces S...
the insertion loss variation across the passband, although this comes at the cost of increased minimum insertion loss.
The low pass sub filters 29 of the equivalent circuits 28 above are essentially bandpass *.: filters with a performance tailored to favour stopband rejection above the passband of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 with little regard to performance below the passband of the tuneable bandpass filter 5. Such filters 29 are often termed quasi' low pass filters.
Similarly, the high pass sub filters 30 of the equivalent circuits 28 are essentially bandpass filters with a performance tailored to favour stopband rejection below the passband of the tuneable bandpass filter 5 with little regard to performance above the passband of the tuneable bandpass filter 5. Such filters 30 are often termed quasi' high pass filters.
The tuneable bandpass filter 5 according to the invention is typically used with resonators which resonate at microwave frequencies, producing a passband in the microwave region.
Typically the resonators comprise cavity resonators (not shown) which are tuned by displacing a tuning member within the cavity. Two tuneable cavity resonators are typically coupled by means of an aperture which extends through the common wall of the two cavities.
In all of the above embodiments the resonators of the tuneable bandpass filter are connected together in arrangements such that the filter can be considered to be a quasi high pass sub filter and a quasi low pass sub filter connected together with one receiving the output of the other. In these embodiments the output of one sub-filter is connected to the input of the other by a number of non-resonant nodes, the number of nodes depending upon the order of the sub-filters. * * * **. * * S...
