Balanced-To-Balanced Microstrip Diplexer Based on Magnetically Coupled Resonators. IEEE Access, 6, 18536-18547.2169-3536https://hdl.handle.net/11441/75272Two balanced-To-balanced planar diplexers based on magnetically coupled microstrip resonators are proposed in this paper. For the first prototype, each channel/differential-output is composed of a second order single-band balanced bandpass filter based on open-loop resonators. For the second diplexer example, the filters composing the differential outputs are fourth order and are implemented by means of folded stepped-impedance resonators. The design procedure for the differential response is quite straightforward, since it is based on the use of the well-known external quality factor and coupling coefficients concepts. Common-mode is inherently rejected thanks to the benefits of magnetic coupling, which precludes common-mode transmission over a wide frequency range. The proposed structure also offers a high level of channel-To-channel isolation. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed idea, the two prototypes are simulated, fabricated, and measured. Good differential-mode and common-mode performance is observed in both examples. Simulations and measurements show good agreement.application/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Estados Unidos de Américahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Balanced-to-balanced diplexerCommon-mode rejectionDifferential-modeMagnetic couplingMicrostrip resonatorsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2820073
