Abstract

A novel stripline diplexer design using frequency dependent couplings to achieve multiple transmission zeros is developed in this paper. The transmission zeros generated by the frequency dependent couplings are flexible and controllable, on the basis of the existing cross-coupled, more transmission zeros are introduced to improve the frequency selection characteristics. Based on this characteristic, we designed a 2.6G Hz diplexer, its transmitting channel filter is 5 order with 4 transmission zeros, and the receiving channel filter is 4 order with 5 transmission zeros. We fabricated and measured it, the synthesis results, simulation results, and the tested results are well matched with each other, which will provide more flexibility in the design of diplexers for wireless communication system.
