Publication Open Access Synthesis of one dimensional electromagnetic bandgap structures with fully controlled parameters(IEEE, 2017) Arnedo Gil, Israel; Chudzik, Magdalena; Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Arregui Padilla, IvĂĄn; Teberio BerdĂșn, Fernando; Benito Pertusa, David; Lopetegui Beregaña, JosĂ© MarĂa; GĂłmez Laso, Miguel Ăngel; IngenierĂa ElĂ©ctrica y ElectrĂłnica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this paper, we propose a novel synthesis strategy for the design of one dimensional electromagnetic bandgap (1- D-EBG) structures where all the performance parameters of these devices can fully be controlled, i.e., the central frequency of the forbidden band, its attenuation level and bandwidth, and the ripple level at the passbands. The novel synthesis strategy employs a new inverse-scattering technique to accurately synthesize the 1-D-EBG structure, targeting a properly interpolated version of a classical periodic filter fulfilling the required frequency specifications. The new inverse-scattering technique follows a continuous layer peeling approach and relies on the coupled-mode theory to precisely model the microwave structures. Telecommunication and radar systems, as well as material characterization devices, will be profited by this proposal with which enhanced filters, sensors, power dividers, couplers, mixers, oscillators, and amplifiers can be designed in many different technologies. As a proof of concept, a 1-D-EBG structure in microstrip technology with a single forbidden band (free of spurious stopband replicas), with attenuation level of 30 dB, fractional bandwidth larger than 100%, and return loss level at the passbands of 20 dB, has been designed and fabricated. The measurements obtained are in very good agreement with the simulations and target specifications, being free of spurious replicas up to the 15th harmonic, showing the robustness and very good performance of the novel design strategy proposed.Publication Open Access Passive microwave component design using inverse scattering: theory and applications(Hindawi, 2013) Arnedo Gil, Israel; Arregui Padilla, IvĂĄn; Chudzik, Magdalena; Teberio BerdĂșn, Fernando; Lujambio Genua, Aintzane; Benito Pertusa, David; Lopetegui Beregaña, JosĂ© MarĂa; GĂłmez Laso, Miguel Ăngel; IngenierĂa ElĂ©ctrica y ElectrĂłnica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaWe briefly review different synthesis techniques for the design of passive microwave components with arbitrary frequency response, developed by our group during the last decade. We provide the theoretical foundations based on inverse scattering and coupledmode theory as well as several applications where the devices designed following those techniques have been successfully tested. The main characteristics of these synthesis methods are as follows. (a) They are direct, because it is not necessary to use lumpedelement circuit models; just the target frequency response is the starting point. (b)They are exact, as there is neither spurious bands nor degradation in the frequency response; hence, there is no bandwidth limitation. (c) They are flexible, because they are valid for any causal, stable, and passive transfer function; only inviolable physical principles must be guaranteed. A myriad of examples has been presented by our group in many different technologies for very relevant applications such as harmonic control of amplifiers, directional couplerwith enhanced directivity and coupling, transmission-type dispersive delay lines for phase engineering, compact design of high-power spurious free low-pass waveguide filters for satellite payloads, pulse shapers for advanced UWB radar and communications and for novel breast cancer detection systems, transmission-type Nth-order differentiators for tunable pulse generation, and a robust filter design tool.Publication Open Access Producing and exploiting simultaneously the forward and backward coupling in EBG-assisted microstrip coupled lines(IEEE, 2016) Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; Chudzik, Magdalena; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Arregui Padilla, IvĂĄn; Teberio BerdĂșn, Fernando; GĂłmez Laso, Miguel Ăngel; Lopetegui Beregaña, JosĂ© MarĂa; IngenierĂa ElĂ©ctrica y ElectrĂłnica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this paper, a methodology is proposed for the design of EBG-assisted coupled line structures in microstrip technology, controlling independently the forward and backward coupling. It is based on the use of a single-frequency-tuned electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure to produce a single backward-coupled frequency band, in combination with the forward-coupled frequency bands produced by the difference between the even and odd mode propagation constants present in microstrip technology. Thus, the central frequency of the backward-coupled band is controlled by the period of the EBG structure, while the frequencies of the forward coupled bands are fixed by the length of the device. The rest of the frequencies go to the direct port giving rise to a device with the input port matched at all the frequencies and where the coupled bands are easily controllable by adjusting the corresponding design parameter. The novel methodology proposed has been successfully demonstrated by designing a triplexer intended for the GSM (900 MHz) and WLAN (2.4 GHz and 5.5 GHz) telecommunication bands.Publication Open Access Chirping techniques to maximize the power-handling capability of harmonic waveguide low-pass filters(IEEE, 2016) Teberio BerdĂșn, Fernando; Arregui Padilla, IvĂĄn; GĂłmez Torrent, AdriĂĄn; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Chudzik, Magdalena; Zedler, Michael; Goertz, Franz-Josef; Jost, Rolf; Lopetegui Beregaña, JosĂ© MarĂa; GĂłmez Laso, Miguel Ăngel; IngenierĂa ElĂ©ctrica y ElectrĂłnica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaA novel chirping technique is applied to the design of very high-power waveguide harmonic low-pass filters. The technique could be used, for instance, to avoid multipactor testing in multicarrier systems such as the output multiplexer of a communications satellite. The novel chirped filter shows low insertion loss, all higher order mode suppression, and broad stopband rejection up to the third harmonic. This paper focuses on the maximization of the filter power-handling capability without affecting its excellent frequency behavior. Given a certain frequency response, the E-plane mechanical gap of the structure and the length (in the propagation direction) of the waveguide sections between its constituent bandstop elements can be considered to improve the high-power behavior. However, the power performance may not be sufficient yet in some applications if we wish, for instance, multipactor testing to be avoided. This becomes feasible by chirping the length (in the propagation direction) of the bandstop elements. An example for Ku band is discussed for relevant frequency specifications. An improvement from âŒ8 kW (non-chirped filter) to more than 100 kW (chirped filter) is obtained. As a reference, the equivalent waffle-iron filter can handle only 0.15 kW. Such high-power threshold levels have never been reported before for such kind of filters.Publication Open Access Resonant quasi-periodic structure for rectangular waveguide technology with wide stopband and band-pass behavior(EMW Publishing, 2016) Arregui Padilla, IvĂĄn; Teberio BerdĂșn, Fernando; Arnedo Gil, Israel; Percaz Ciriza, Jon Mikel; GĂłmez Torrent, AdriĂĄn; Chudzik, Magdalena; GĂłmez Laso, Miguel Ăngel; Lopetegui Beregaña, JosĂ© MarĂa; IngenierĂa ElĂ©ctrica y ElectrĂłnica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this paper, a novel quasi-periodic structure for rectangular waveguide technology is proposed. The constituent unit cells of the structure feature a resonant behavior, providing high attenuation levels in the stopband with a compact (small period) size. By applying a smooth taper-like variation to the height of the periodic structure, very good matching is achieved in the passband while the bandwidth of the stopband is strongly increased. Moreover, by smoothly tapering the width of the structure, a band-pass frequency behavior is obtained. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the novel quasi-periodic structure proposed, a band-pass structure with good matching, wide rejected band, and high-power handling capability has been designed, fabricated, and measured obtaining very good results.
