abstract

  • In this paper, a novel dual-band active filter topology is presented. The non-linear phase response of a composite right/left-handed cell is used to achieve the desired dual-band performance. Additionally, the
    proposed structure based on coupled ring resonators yields a very
    compact solution in which high-order implementations can be easily
    obtained by cascading multiple rings. The theoretical principles of this
    type of filters are analyzed in detail. Finally, three prototypes based
    on first-, second- and third-order structures validate the feasibility
    of this type of filters. Good agreement between simulations and
    measurements has been achieved.
