Direct Coupled Resonator Bandpass Filter Designer


A fully experimental thing





Direct Coupled Resonator Bandpass



REQUIREMENTS


Center Frequency [MHz]

Bandwidth [MHz]

   

Passband Ripple [dB]

  (0...6)

Number of Resonators

   

Impedance [Ω]

Inductance  




➤ If the Ripple is 0 dB, a Butterworth Characteristic results. If larger : Chebyshev.



DESIGN DATA FOR YOUR BANDPASS





Inspired by the paper "Direct-Coupled Resonator Filters" by Seymour B. Cohn, June 1956.

If you want to build a filter like this one, we highly recommend, that you simulate the amplitude response first ! Due to the capacitive coupling, the attenuation above the passband is rather poor if you choose the bandwidth too large. We suggest to start with a bandwidth not larger than 10 %.




Example from practice




For an Receiver, we want to design an IF Bandpass with the following key data : Center Frequency F = 270 MHz, Bandwidth B = 10 MHz, Ripple R = 0 dB (Butterworth), System Impedance R = 50 Ω, 2 resonators, allow the Calculator to choose inductors from E12 range. As we want to use standard values (capacitors and inductors), we do play a little a sophisticated guess and choose L = 27 nH. (Switch to "use my value"). The Designer finally suggests the following values :

Design Data for a 2-Resonator Bandpass Filter.
Center Frequency : 270.0 MHz
Bandwidth : 12.0 MHz
Passband Ripple : 0 dB (Butterworth Characteristic)
System Impedance : 50 Ohm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coupling Capacitor : 2.22 pF
Resonator #1 C : 10.32 pF // L : 27.00 nH
Coupling Capacitor : 0.40 pF
Resonator #2 C : 10.32 pF // L : 27.00 nH
Coupling Capacitor : 2.22 pF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please verify by simulation that attenuation above passband is sufficient.
Negative capacitances indicate an unhappy inductance.


Approach 1   

Uses 2.2 pF SQCB low ESR capacitors from ACX RF, TOKO LL2012-FHL Chip Inductors, muRata 3-10 pF Trimmer and a 'wire' capacitor for coupling. Insertion Loss was 5.7 dB.

Approach 2   

Uses 2.2 pF SQCB low ESR capacitors from ACX RF, TOKO LLQ2012 Wire Wound Chip Inductors, muRata 3-10 pF Trimmer and a 2 x 1 pF in series to do the coupling, as the 'wired' capacitor was somehow tricky to handle.

DIY coils (n=4, d=4). Insertion Loss was 1.3 dB.

The insertion loss of the board was not calibrated out to get nicer measurements. The idea was to show, that the calculator delivers useful values :-)

And yes, the bandwidth is larger. This is due to the (slightly) different coupling-capacitor. We therefore introduced the bandwidth-tuning-buttons to adjust for a minimum value of e.g. 1 pF.

The larger bandwidth was also caused by an error in the javascript. We would like to thank Gregory for his valuable feedback on this. MUITO OBRIGADO !!!
