Abstract

The multilayer structure is a promising technique used to minimize the size of planar microstrip filters. In the flexible design and incorporation of other microwave components, multilayer band-pass filter results in better and enhanced dimensions. This paper introduces a microstrip fifth-generation (5G) low-frequency band of 2.52–2.65 GHz using a parallel-coupled line (PCL) Bandpass filter and multilayer (ML) hairpin Bandpass filter. The targeted four-pole resonator has a center frequency of 2.585 GHz with a bandwidth of 130 MHz. The filters are designed with a 0.1 dB passband ripple with a Chebyshev response. The hairpin-line offers compact filter design structures. Theoretically, they can be obtained by bending half-wavelength resonator resonators with parallel couplings into a “U” shape. The proposed configuration of the parallel-coupled line resonator is used to design the ML band-pass filter. The FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant () of 4.3 and 1.6 mm thickness was used. A comparative analysis between the simulated insertion loss and the reflection coefficient of substrates RO3003 and FR4 was performed to validate the efficiency of the proposed filter design. Simulation of PCL filter is accomplished using computer simulation technology (CST) and an advanced design system (ADS) software. The PCL Bandpass filter was experimentally validated and a total tally between simulation results and measured results were achieved demonstrating a well-measured reflection coefficient. The simulated results obtained by the hairpin ML bandpass filter show that the circuit performs well in terms of Scattering(S) parameters and the filter size is significantly reduced.
