Abstract

A class of balanced dual-band planar diplexer with frequency-contiguous channels for the differential mode and high common-mode rejection is presented. It exploits double-stub-loaded filtering cells with resistors connected at the symmetry plane of the overall diplexer. In this manner, a sharp-rejection dual-band operation for each diplexer channel with transmission zeroes (TZs) at both sides of the differential-mode dual passbands is obtained. In addition, broadened common-mode suppression and low common-mode in-band input power reflection can be realized. The theoretical foundations and design guidelines for the devised dual-band differential-mode diplexer are provided. Moreover, for practical-validation purposes, a microstrip prototype with imbricated 1.51-GHz/2.41-GHz and 1.92-GHz/2.85-GHz lower and upper dual-band channels is manufactured and tested.
