Microwave filters of strip-line structure having a plurality of shunt or series quarter wavelength stubs are known in the art. The text book Microwave Filters. Impedance-Matching Networks and Coupling Struclures by George L. MATTHAEI. Leo YOUNG and E. M. J. JONES. Mc GRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY discloses:
at page 595. filters using parallel short-circuited stubs that are a quarter wave long;
at page 596, filters using series open-circuited stubs that are a quarter wave long; and
at page 599 filters using pairs of parallel short circuited stubs. each stub of a pair being a quarter wave long. In this latter case. the two stubs of a pair form half-wavelength long, short circuited shunt stubs connected at their middle to the connecting line.
In all these filters the connecting lines between the stubs are always quarter wavelength connecting lines. It results that the filters are physically of large size, the length of the filter being at least equal to (nA,./4) where n is the number of stubs and the wavelength in the connecting line at the midband frequency of the filter.
The principal object of the invention is the provide strip-line microwave filters of compact structure.
Another object of the invention is to provide stripline microwave filters in which the length of the con necting lines of the stubs can be predetermined at will and particularly can be taken much shorter than the quarter wavelength.
According to the invention, there is provided a microwave bandpass filter having a main strip transmission line and a plurality of open-ended half-wave strip line stubs perpendicular to the main strip line, and forming crosses with the same, spaced apart therebetween by a predetermined distance much smaller than the half-wavelength along said main line and connected in parallel to the main line, the point of connection of the stub to the main line being offset from the mid point of the stubs by predetermined quantities.
The invention will now be disclosed in detail in relation with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1a and ll) represent a two crossed cell microwave filter:
FIG. 2 represents a three crossed cell microwave filter in which the stubs are spaced by an electric spacing different from a quarter wavelength;
FIG. 3 represents a three crossed cell microwave filter with stubs of the same length but not of the same strip width;
FIG. 4 represents a three crossed microwave filter of a known type with stubs of the same strip width but not of the same length; and
FIG. 5 represents a five crossed cell microwave filter.
FIGS. la and lb show a microwave filter with two crossed cells according to the invention and which comprises a main strip transmission line having a metallic strip conductor 1 bonded to dielectric sheets 2 and 3 to the other side of which are bonded metallic ground plates 4 and 5. The two ground plates are electrically interconnected by means not shown in FIGS. la and lb.
Each cell of the filter comprises a pair of arms or stubs 6 and 7 for the first cell and 16 and 17 for the second cell, which are located on both sides of the strip transmission line 1 and connected in parallel to the same. Each of these stubs is about a quarter wavelength long and is open-circuited and the two aligned stubs of a pair form a section of strip line which is one halfwavelength long. The two stubs of a pair have not exactly the same length or in other words the strip line sections formed by the stub pairs are not connected exactly at their mid point to the main strip transmission line. The spacing length along said main line of the connection points of the stub pairs is designated by L and the choice of its value will be explained later on.
The respective lengths I and of the stubs 6 and 7 are such that:
Zsinh ch cosh (s Di where:
F denotes frequency,j is M I and y is the characteristic admittance of the stubs, while e is the number defined by equation I) Q 1-r/4ozl is the Q factor of the resonator formed by the cell,
a being the real part of the attenuation constant F denotes the resonance frequency of the cell equal e being the relative dielectric constant and c the velocity of light.
By assuming that the cells are lossless and in the vicinity of F expression (2) can be reduced to:
where (5) Combination of equations (4) and (5) gives:
Synthesis ofcrossed cell filters can he made either hy calculating the amplitude-frequenc response of the filter or by using the general synthesis theory of bandpass filters. The first method can he applied to the lilters comprising at most three cells since farther the calculations become inextricahle. Applications of the two methods are given in the following.
Let us consider a non-dissipative filter comprising two or three crossed cells separated by sections of connecting strip line. fed at its input terminals h a signal generator and connected at its output terminals to a load. the impedance ofthe generator and load heing re spectively matched to the input and output impedances of the filter. that is to the characteristic impedance of the main strip transmission line. The attenuation A is equal to the ratio of the availahle generator power to the power actually deli\ered to the load; it can he written in the form of 'l'schehyscheff polynominal.

It is known that an admittance inverter having a parameter l/sin 0 can be formed by a line section of electric length 6 connecting two identical elements having an admittance cotO. Thus:
