Abstract
This article presents a design of highpass filter (HPF) for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications using a square complementary split-ring resonator (SCSRR). A miniaturized size HPF filter is obtained by overlapping the Right-Hand (RH) and Left-Hand material. The arrangement of inter-digital parallel coupled capacitor and SCSRR offers low insertion loss, high selectivity with a sharp roll-off factor over a wide bandwidth of 15.9 GHz (from 34.1 to 50 GHz). Generally, SCSRR offers narrow passband/stopband however this prototype has a passband over a wide range of frequency. The proposed HPF has an appreciable agreement between simulated and fabricated results. Further, the filter is realized in the equivalent circuit model and their electrical elements functions are also discussed. This prototype has a cut-off frequency (fc) of 34.1 GHz with a maximum passband insertion loss of 1.45 dB. The fabricated area of the filter is 0.16λg × 0.09λg × λg and where λg is the guided wavelength at cutoff frequency fc.
