Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a magnet-free non-reciprocal quasi-elliptic RF bandpass filter (BPF) by time modulating coupled-line resonators. By modulating the resonant frequencies of the filter's resonators with phase shifted AC signals, the forward and backward waves can be controlled. In this manner, RF propagation is enabled in one direction (from port 1 to port 2), having the backward wave sufficiently attenuated. As a proof-of-concept, a distributed third-order microstrip BPF prototype centered at 1.08 GHz was designed, fabricated and tested. Measurements indicate a minimum passband insertion loss (S21) of 3.6 dB and a maximum isolation (S12) of 36.2 dB.
