A Narrow Band Dual Mode HTS Patch Filter With High Power Capability

A novel structure is presented to optimize the design of narrow band dual mode patch filters. Using this method, a narrow band dual mode high power HTS filter with center frequency 2.015 GHz, fractional bandwidth less than 0.35%, return loss greater than 20 dB, near band-edge rejection close to ${-}45$ dB, and insertion loss less than 0.2 dB has been designed and fabricated. The filter can work at a power of 11.7 W without obvious deterioration of its transmission response.
