Abstract
In this paper, a novel high power high selective and high-Q packaged dual band air suspended stripline notch filter is presented. The notch frequencies, at 2.4 and 3.5 GHz, were designed using defected suspended stripline (DSS). Moreover, the filter was packaged and shielded using perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). The DSS were designed using two frequency independent non-coupled cascaded U shape resonators. It has been proved that the filter attenuation has a sharp rejection characteristic (measured) at the two resonance frequencies (27 dB at 2.4 GHz) and (30 dB at 3.5 GHz) with Quality factor = (18). So, the sharp measured filter attenuation performance was further enhanced to become 38 dB at the two frequencies. The achieved results are discussed and confirmed using different circuit, 3D EM and experimental measurements. The designed filter can find many medium powers up to 20 kW applications.
