This study proposes a miniaturized strip-line absorptive common-mode filter using a novel and ingenious defected ground structure (DGS).The proposed filter is bidirectional and has an ultrawide absorption band to stop the common-mode noise.The fractional bandwidth was as large as 147%.
In addition, the filter allows the total transmission of differential signals of up to approximately 15 GHz, as determined by Pestle the 3-dB cutoff frequency.Both Air Freshener noise absorption and signal transmission bandwidths have never been reported in the literature.An equivalent circuit model and design principle were proposed.
Accordingly, a filter prototype with a total area of 1.1% of the square of the wavelength at the lowest frequency of the absorption band is designed and implemented.The measured results verified the design and demonstrated its claimed performance.
