Abstract
En 中文
A class of RF multi-functional input-reflectionless dispersive-delay structure (DDS) with linear-type in-band group-delay variation and sharp-rejection bandpass-filtering capability is reported. It exploits a two-branch-channelized/balanced-type circuit with similar low-order reflective DDS units inside its channels, which are connected through input/output $\boldsymbol {3}$ -dB quadrature wideband couplers. The adopted DDS unit is based on a coupled-resonator network with a frequency-dependent cross-coupling. It introduces a pair of complex transmission zeros (TZs) to shape the intended in-band group-delay profile. Unequal transmission-line-based phase-shifting sections are also inserted at the outputs of both channels. In this manner, an input-absorptive behavior and selectivity enhancement with TZ generation are attained by means of transversal signal-interference techniques at the overall input and output nodes, respectively. Moreover, as the transfer-function phase term of the interference action in transmission is linear with frequency, the total group-delay pattern is defined by the DDS unit of the channels. As practical validation, a 1.5-GHz proof-of-concept microstrip prototype is constructed and tested.
