Popis: | A novel reconfigurable defected ground structure (DGS) resonator fabricated on coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology is presented. The resonator is endowed with an original design which enables the generation of multiple transmission zeros at arbitrary frequencies. The chosen design is indeed based on a slot defect created on the lateral ground planes of the CPW with the double advantage to allow a simple reconfiguration, by means of surface mounted (or fabricated) components, and a very compact solution, by exploiting the transversal dimension of the coplanar wave transmission line (CPW-TL). Four different states of the diodes configuration are investigated, where in each state multiple transmission zeros are produced in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 11 GHz. The equivalent circuit of each state is obtained using a conventional circuit parameter extraction method. Moreover, the slotline design equations are used to identify the transmission zeros and validated using the magnetic field distribution inside the slot. In this work, the reconfigurability is first proven by means of short bridges mounted in specific locations. These bridges are then replaced by PIN diodes. Simulated and measured results are in good agreement. |
