2.  A compact second order DBR passband filter having a center frequency 1 GHz is designed, fabricated and measured. The miniaturization is achieved by capacitive loading of high impedance transmission lines. The obtained surface miniaturization percentage of the miniature filter with respect to a reference conventional one is of 95% (25 x 25 mm2). Measurement results show that by integrating miniature lowpass structures (for which the cutoff frequency is derived), the broadband response is spurious free until about eight times the center frequency. Index Terms — Bandpass filter, DBR, miniaturization. Abstract H. Issa #1, J.-M. Duchamp #2, S. Abou-Chahine *3, and Ph. Ferrari #4 “Compact Semi-Lumped Two-Pole DBR Filter with Spurious Suppression”

3.  A classical DBR resonator is realized by associating two different parallel open-ended stubs [5]. Each stub brings its own transmission zero and the whole resonant structure behaves like a shunt-connected parallel resonant circuit in the vicinity of fr, the frequency at which the total length equals half wavelength. The miniaturization of the DBR resonator is achieved by using high characteristic impedance Zci stubs loaded at their ends by capacitors connected to the ground [4]. The use of high Zci permits higher miniaturization. MINIATURE DBR RESONATOR

11.  A compact second order DBR filter at 1 GHz with secondary lobe suppression was presented. The miniaturization percentage is 95% with respect to a classical DBR filter. The broadband frequency response is spuriousfree up till 7.5 GHz. However, the insertion loss is higher than that of the classical filter (0.7 dB against 0.46 dB for the classical filter). About 0.4 dB of the losses are due only to the losses of the capacitors and the via holes. CONCLUSION
