SIWFilter

Create an SIW bandpass filter with split rings in microstrip form

Since R2023b

Description

Use the SIWFilter object to create a bandpass filter in microstrip form. The filter is a combination of a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) transmission line and split ring resonator.

Creation

Syntax

filter = SIWFilter

filter = SIWFilter(Name=Value)

Description

filter = SIWFilter creates a default SIW filter with passband of filter centered around 7 GHz, with a bandwidth of 1.5 GHz. Default substrate is Teflon with a thickness of 0.253e-3 m.

filter = SIWFilter(Name=Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, SIWFilter(NumResonators=5) creates a filter with five resonators. Properties not specified retain their default values.

Properties

TxlineElement — Transmission line element used in the bandpass filter

SIWLine (default)

TxlineElement is specified as SIWline.

Example: Filter = SIWFilter

Data Types: char | string

Resonator — Shape of split ring resonator

Square (default) | Circle | Triangle | Hexagon | Octagon

Resonator shape is specified as a splitRing shape, either Square, Circle, Triangle, Hexagon, or Octagon

Example: Filter = SIWFilter(Resonator = splitRing(Type = "Hexagon"))

Data Types: char | string

NumResonators — Number of Resonators in bandpass filter

3 (default) | positive scalar

Number of Resonators is specified as a positive scalar.

Example: Filter = SIWFilter(NumResonators = 5)

Data Types: double

ResonatorSpacing — Spacing between Resonators in meters

5e-3 (default) | positive scalar

Resonator spacing is specified as a positive scalar.

Example: Filter = SIWFilter(ResonatorSpacing = 7e-3)

Data Types: double
