摘要

An absorptive bandstop filter is proposed and synthesized with prescribed negative group delay (NGD) and negative group delay bandwidth (NBW). It is realized with resistor-loaded coupled-line structures where the NGD can be controlled by the Q-factors of resonators. The resistor of the first section is determined for impedance matching, also providing a negative delay. A prototype is developed, following the proposed design procedure, with NGD = -6.5 ns and NBW = 105 MHz obtained. The proposed method is experimentally validated by the good agreement between the synthesized and measured results.
