The selection of the right filter design method is a very important first step for a
radio frequency engineer. This paper presents the comparison of two methods of
band pass filter design using hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator. Both
methods were applied to obtain filter designs that can work for broadcasting system
in digital television community. Band pass filter was simulated using design
software and fabricated using epoxy FR-4 substrate. The results of simulation and
measurement shown return loss value at 27.3 dB for hairpin line band pass filter and
25.901 for square open-loop resonator band pass filter. Voltage standing wave ratio
parameter values were 1.09 and 1.1067 for hairpin line and square open-loop band
pass filter respectively. The insertion loss values for the Hairpin line band pass filter
and square open-loop band pass filter were 0.9692 and near 0 dB, respectively.
Fractional bandwidth, for hairpin line band pass filter, was 6.7% while for square
open-loop band pass filter was 4.8%. Regarding the size, the dimension of square
open-loop resonator was approximately five times larger than hairpin-line band pass
filter. Based on the advantages of the hairpin line method, we recommend that
researchers choose the filter for digital TV broadcasting.

1. INTRODUCTION
Television broadcasting in Indonesia have begun to be held. With digital broadcasting, the quality of
images and sound received by viewers in comparison to the analog one is now much better without any
shaded images or all forms of noise. In addition, saving bandwidth usage property on digital broadcasting is a
special consideration from the government to replace all analog TV broadcasting to digital one. Started in 2012,
Indonesia issued the Regulation of Communication and Information Minister, Number 05 of 2012, applied
the digital video broadcasting-terrestrial second generation (DVB-T2) standard which is a improvement of
the DVB-T standard issued in 2007[1]. Terrestrial digital television broadcasting uses VHF/UHF radio
frequencies as well as analog broadcasting, but with a digital content format. By considering the Regulation
of Communication and Information Minister, Number 17 of 2013, spectrum used for digital television
broadcasting is at 478-694 MHz.
One of the important devices used in television broadcasting system is band pass filter (BPF). It is used to
take a signal from f1 to f2 and reject the smaller frequency than f1 and frequency greater than f2 [2]. The ideal
filter must have null insertion loss at the passband, very high attenuation at the stopband, and linier phase
respon at the passband [3]. Many researches of band pass filter had been proposed such as in [4], it presented

a novel approach for first order chebyshev parallel coupled BPF resonant at 1 GHz. Also, in [5], it presented
a novel technique in designing the switchable dual-band BPF for WiMAX and wireless LAN applications.
Then in [6], a simple is used to design a dual band BPF using split ring resonator. And another paper is
Multi-wideband microstrip Spiral BPF that is presented in [7].
Researchs on band pass filter (BPF) using hairpin-line method has also previously been carried out
for various applications. In reference [8] and [9] a microstrip compact band pass filter for wireless local area
network used a hairpin resonator. Another application was proposed in [10] microstrip band pass filter with
hairpin resonator method for reverse frequency in the band-3 Long Term Evolution. This filter used
chebyshev response and substrate duroid RT-5880. The research of hairpin-line method was combined with
other technique as in [11], it used a square groove technique and gave the capability in suppression of
spurious response. Another paper in [12], proposed hairpin microstrip band pass filter using an interdigital
structure with the smaller parallel coupled lines than previously designed microstrip BPF of this type. In [13],
filter was integrated with a harmonic suppression circuit based on quarter-wavelength short stubs.
Narrowband band pass filter proposed in [14] used 5 elements of square resonator with the folded coupled-line for S
band application, and it resulted in the smaller size than conventional hairpin. Hairpin-line band pass filter
with dual band has also been widely considered such as in [15, 16]. The effect of the filter order on the
performance of the filter itself has been investigated in [17]. It showed the effect of shape of frequency
responses such as on higher order of filter elements sharpening the selectivity of frequency response.
Besides the hairpin line method, other methods such as square open-loop resonators have been
developed in research to design band pass filters. Paper [18] described a configuration for realization of
canonical microstrip elliptic function narrow-band band pass filter. In paper [19], filter had smaller relative
bandwidth and steeper attenuation slope. Another square open-loop resonator in [20], it proposed microstrip
square open-loop resonators using surface mount capacitors. Another research in [21] dual-band band pass
filter with dual mode novel perturbation element using was proposed and resulted in flexibility in tuning
dual-mode characteristic and a compact structure. Paper [22] presented dual-mode BPF using the degenerate
modes of a meander square ring structure printed on the high-permittivity substrate. Loading element was
used to design narrow BPF using open-loop square resonators, that suited with an easier due to its compact size and
versatility [23]. And also, in [24], BPF is proposed using a new compact stub-coupled microstrip square open-loop.
We are pioneering a digital TV community at Telkom University in Bandung, with the highest
priority being to design and implement our own devices. The part of the device that we designed and
implemented was BPF. As an alternative to design, we use two methods, namely hairpin-line and square
open-loop resonator. In this paper, we compared two methods BPF design. The purpose of the comparison is
so that researchers can choose the right filter type, when viewed in terms of the dimensions of the filter,
insertion loss and return loss that occur, VSWR and fractional bandwidth. Both methods were applied to
obtain filter designs that can work at frequencies of 470-862MHz for DVB-T2 application. Band pass filter
can be implemented in both transmitter and receiver of broadcasting television system.

2.1. Calculation for the band pass filter order
Response filter of filter design in this paper used butterworth filter response that has a transfer
function for insertion loss LAr at the cutoff frequency Ωc as given by (1). A lowpass filter response was
transformed to a band pass response that had a passband response as (2). The fractional bandwidth (FBW)
was determined by (3). The (4) was used to determine the order of a butterworth lowpass prototype, a
specification commonly in the minimum stopband attenuation LAS at omega (Ω) =Ωs greater than one [25].

2.3. Calculation for the band pass filter order
There is a dielectric influence caused by air and substrate to make the structure not homogeneous.
The use of the relative dielectric constant is to determine the characteristic resistance. Relative dielectric
constants can be considered as the dielectric constants of a homogeneous medium replacing air and substrate
medium with h (substrate height), W (thickness of microstrip) and εr (dielectric constant) on microstrip
channels to determine effective dielectric constants determined by using the (7), (8) and (9) [25].

Table 1 presents the dimension values obtained from both of hairpin-line methods and the square
open-loop resonator based upon the equation used in the reference. From the calculation obtained, the desired
parameter was not reached and for that reason, optimization was performed by changing the dimensional
parameters of the two methods used. Table 2 shows the final simulation dimension of two methods used for
fabrication. The dimensions of the square open-loop resonator band pass filter were five times greater than
the hairpin-line one.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a band pass filter using the hairpin line method and square open-loop
resonator respectively. The filters order was four, where the dimensions of this filter are written in Table 2.
Figure 4 show the simulation results of the return loss parameters of the two methods. Return loss is the ratio
between the power transmitted to the power reflected, while S11 is the ratio of the wave reflected to the
incoming wave, so the magnitude of the return loss is equal to the absolute of S11. The tuning optimization
was done from the calculation of the previous dimensions by increasing the value of the width of the
feedline, the width of the resonator, and the distance between the resonators. The value of return loss at
666 MHz frequency was 33,847 dB for the hairpin line method and 27,344 dB for the square open-loop method.

The design of both hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator BPF was simulated by the advanced design
system software and it was fabricated using substrate FR-4 Epoxy. The connector SMA 50 ohm was used to be
soldered with line and a ground plane. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the Fabrication of the hairpin-line band pass filter
and square open-loop resonator BPF respectively. The dimension of square open-loop resonator BPF was about
300x100 mm2

3.1. Measurement of BPF return loss
The measurement of return loss and insertion loss used network analyzer (NA). Return loss
measurements can be seen in the S11 parameter. The value of return loss is obtained by taking the absolute
value of S11 parameter. The higher value of the return loss, the smaller the power reflected to the source.
Thus, the maximum power transfer will occur. Figure 8 shows the return loss value of 27,340 dB for band
pass filter with the hairpin-line method.
Figure 8. Return loss measurement result of hairpin-line BPF method
Figure 9 shows measurement result of return loss for band pass filter with the square open-loop
resonator method about 25,901 dB. From the S11 parameter measurement results, it obtained the fractional
bandwidth of approximately 6.7% for hairpin-line method and 4.8% for square open-loop method. From the
value of fractional bandwidth, square open-loop resonator had smaller Bandwidth compared to hairpin-line
band pass filter.

3.2. Measurement of BPF insertion loss
Insertion loss measurements can be seen in the S21 or S12 parameter, which shows the frequency
response of the signal transmitted from port 1 to port 2 or from port 2 to port 1. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show
the power gain curve as a function of frequency, resulting from the measurement of parameters S21 or S12.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 also show the comparation of insertion loss measurement of two methods.

The value of insertion loss is obtained by taking the absolute value of gain (or S21 in dB) minus 6.02
dB. The reading absolute value of S21 (dB) from NA must be reduced by 6,02 dB, because if without the filter
insertion and matching conditions between source and load, then S21 at the operating frequency is -6.02 dB.
Based on the measurement results at the center frequency of 666 MHz, the insertion loss value obtained
0.9692 dB (6.9892–6,02) dB for hairpin-line BPF and near 0 dB (5.9511–6.02) dB for square open-loop
resonator BPF. Ideally, the insertion loss value is 0 dB, but because there are some losses component of the
filter, the ideal value of insertion loss is difficult to be achieved.

Table 3 shows the result comparison of two band pass filters using hairpin-line and square
open-loop resonator methods. For band pass filter parameter such as return loss and voltage standing wave
ratio (VSWR), the performance of hairpin-line band pass filter was found better than that of square open-loop
resonator although the difference in value between the two was not so significant. Fractional bandwidth
parameter in both systems gave the value categorized as narrowband filter.

4. CONCLUSION
Based on the simulation and measurement of BPF with Hairpin Line and Square open-loop
resonator method, parameter values such as return loss, VSWR, insertion loss and fractional bandwidth met
the desired initial specifications. The resulting return loss was 27.3 dB for BPF hairpin line and 25.901 for
BPF square open-loop resonator. VSWR parameter values were 1.09 and 1.1067 for BPF hairpin line and
square open-loop resonator respectively. For the Return Loss and VSWR parameters, the BPF designed by

using the Hairpin Line method had a better performance than the square loop though the value was not
significantly different. However, for fractional bandwidth (FBW), the square loop method produced a smaller
value than the hairpin equal to 4.8%, while the FBW with the hairpin method was found at 6.7%. This
fractional bandwidth is corresponding with the narrowband category that has a range below 10%. This BPF is
designed on the frequency of TV channels in Indonesia. The insertion loss values for the Hairpin line and
square loop method were found at 0.9692 dB and near 0 dB, respectively. This was in view of a trade off
between fractional bandwidth and insertion loss. When the desired fractional bandwidth value is small, the
insertion loss value obtained will be large. In the dimension comparison, square open-loop resonator had a
size about five times wider than hairpin-line band pass filter. Thus, in dimension parameter, the hairpin-line
band pass filter was found more effective than square open-loop resonator band pass filter.

This paper presents the comparison of two methods of band pass filter design using hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator. Both methods were applied to obtain filter designs that can work for broadcasting system in digital television community. Band pass filter was simulated using design software and fabricated using epoxy FR-4 substrate. The results of simulation and measurement shown return loss value at 27.3 dB for hairpin line band pass filter and 25.901 for square open-loop resonator band pass filter. Voltage standing wave ratio parameter values were 1.09 and 1.1067 for hairpin line and square open-loop band pass filter respectively. The insertion loss values for the Hairpin line band pass filter and square open-loop band pass filter were 0.9692 and near 0 dB, respectively. Fractional bandwidth, for hairpin line band pass filter, was 6.7% while for square open-loop band pass filter was 4.8%. Regarding the size, the dimension of square open-loop resonator was approximately five times larger than hairpin-line band pass filter. Based on the advantages of the hairpin line method, we recommend that researchers choose the filter for digital TV broadcasting.

Email: yuyunsitirohmah@telkomuniversity.ac.id 1. INTRODUCTION Television broadcasting in Indonesia have begun to be held. With digital broadcasting, the quality of images and sound received by viewers in comparison to the analog one is now much better without any shaded images or all forms of noise. In addition, saving bandwidth usage property on digital broadcasting is a special consideration from the government to replace all analog TV broadcasting to digital one. Started in 2012, Indonesia issued the Regulation of Communication and Information Minister, Number 05 of 2012, applied the digital video broadcasting-terrestrial second generation (DVB-T2) standard which is a improvement of the DVB-T standard issued in 2007[1]. Terrestrial digital television broadcasting uses VHF/UHF radio frequencies as well as analog broadcasting, but with a digital content format. By considering the Regulation of Communication and Information Minister, Number 17 of 2013, spectrum used for digital television broadcasting is at 478-694 MHz. One of the important devices used in television broadcasting system is band pass filter (BPF). It is used to take a signal from f1 to f2 and reject the smaller frequency than f1 and frequency greater than f2 [2]. The ideal filter must have null insertion loss at the passband, very high attenuation at the stopband, and linier phase respon at the passband [3]. Many researches of band pass filter had been proposed such as in [4], it presented
  • 2.  ISSN: 2302-9285 Bulletin of Electr Eng & Inf, Vol. 10, No. 1, February 2021 : 101 – 110 102 a novel approach for first order chebyshev parallel coupled BPF resonant at 1 GHz. Also, in [5], it presented a novel technique in designing the switchable dual-band BPF for WiMAX and wireless LAN applications. Then in [6], a simple is used to design a dual band BPF using split ring resonator. And another paper is Multi-wideband microstrip Spiral BPF that is presented in [7]. Researchs on band pass filter (BPF) using hairpin-line method has also previously been carried out for various applications. In reference [8] and [9] a microstrip compact band pass filter for wireless local area network used a hairpin resonator. Another application was proposed in [10] microstrip band pass filter with hairpin resonator method for reverse frequency in the band-3 Long Term Evolution. This filter used chebyshev response and substrate duroid RT-5880. The research of hairpin-line method was combined with other technique as in [11], it used a square groove technique and gave the capability in suppression of spurious response. Another paper in [12], proposed hairpin microstrip band pass filter using an interdigital structure with the smaller parallel coupled lines than previously designed microstrip BPF of this type. In [13], filter was integrated with a harmonic suppression circuit based on quarter-wavelength short stubs. Narrowband band pass filter proposed in [14] used 5 elements of square resonator with the folded coupled-line for S band application, and it resulted in the smaller size than conventional hairpin. Hairpin-line band pass filter with dual band has also been widely considered such as in [15, 16]. The effect of the filter order on the performance of the filter itself has been investigated in [17]. It showed the effect of shape of frequency responses such as on higher order of filter elements sharpening the selectivity of frequency response. Besides the hairpin line method, other methods such as square open-loop resonators have been developed in research to design band pass filters. Paper [18] described a configuration for realization of canonical microstrip elliptic function narrow-band band pass filter. In paper [19], filter had smaller relative bandwidth and steeper attenuation slope. Another square open-loop resonator in [20], it proposed microstrip square open-loop resonators using surface mount capacitors. Another research in [21] dual-band band pass filter with dual mode novel perturbation element using was proposed and resulted in flexibility in tuning dual-mode characteristic and a compact structure. Paper [22] presented dual-mode BPF using the degenerate modes of a meander square ring structure printed on the high-permittivity substrate. Loading element was used to design narrow BPF using open-loop square resonators, that suited with an easier due to its compact size and versatility [23]. And also, in [24], BPF is proposed using a new compact stub-coupled microstrip square open-loop. We are pioneering a digital TV community at Telkom University in Bandung, with the highest priority being to design and implement our own devices. The part of the device that we designed and implemented was BPF. As an alternative to design, we use two methods, namely hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator. In this paper, we compared two methods BPF design. The purpose of the comparison is so that researchers can choose the right filter type, when viewed in terms of the dimensions of the filter, insertion loss and return loss that occur, VSWR and fractional bandwidth. Both methods were applied to obtain filter designs that can work at frequencies of 470-862MHz for DVB-T2 application. Band pass filter can be implemented in both transmitter and receiver of broadcasting television system. 2. RESEARCH METHOD The elementary configuration of the microstrip as shown in Figure 1.

Calculation for the band pass filter order Response filter of filter design in this paper used butterworth filter response that has a transfer function for insertion loss LAr at the cutoff frequency Ωc as given by (1). A lowpass filter response was transformed to a band pass response that had a passband response as (2). The fractional bandwidth (FBW) was determined by (3). The (4) was used to determine the order of a butterworth lowpass prototype, a specification commonly in the minimum stopband attenuation LAS at omega (Ω) =Ωs greater than one [25].

Calculation for the band pass filter order There is a dielectric influence caused by air and substrate to make the structure not homogeneous. The use of the relative dielectric constant is to determine the characteristic resistance. Relative dielectric constants can be considered as the dielectric constants of a homogeneous medium replacing air and substrate medium with h (substrate height), W (thickness of microstrip) and εr (dielectric constant) on microstrip channels to determine effective dielectric constants determined by using the (7), (8) and (9) [25].

Return loss is the ratio between the power transmitted to the power reflected, while S11 is the ratio of the wave reflected to the incoming wave, so the magnitude of the return loss is equal to the absolute of S11. The tuning optimization was done from the calculation of the previous dimensions by increasing the value of the width of the feedline, the width of the resonator, and the distance between the resonators.

Measurement of BPF return loss The measurement of return loss and insertion loss used network analyzer (NA). Return loss measurements can be seen in the S11 parameter. The value of return loss is obtained by taking the absolute value of S11 parameter. The higher value of the return loss, the smaller the power reflected to the source. Thus, the maximum power transfer will occur. Figure 8 shows the return loss value of 27,340 dB for band pass filter with the hairpin-line method. Figure 8. Return loss measurement result of hairpin-line BPF method Figure 9 shows measurement result of return loss for band pass filter with the square open-loop resonator method about 25,901 dB. From the S11 parameter measurement results, it obtained the fractional bandwidth of approximately 6.7% for hairpin-line method and 4.8% for square open-loop method. From the value of fractional bandwidth, square open-loop resonator had smaller Bandwidth compared to hairpin-line band pass filter.

Measurement of BPF insertion loss Insertion loss measurements can be seen in the S21 or S12 parameter, which shows the frequency response of the signal transmitted from port 1 to port 2 or from port 2 to port 1. Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the power gain curve as a function of frequency, resulting from the measurement of parameters S21 or S12. Figure 10 and Figure 11 also show the comparation of insertion loss measurement of two methods. Figure 10. insertion loss measurement of hairpin-line BPF method
  • 8.  ISSN: 2302-9285 Bulletin of Electr Eng & Inf, Vol. 10, No. 1, February 2021 : 101 – 110 108 The value of insertion loss is obtained by taking the absolute value of gain (or S21 in dB) minus 6.02 dB. The reading absolute value of S21 (dB) from NA must be reduced by 6,02 dB, because if without the filter insertion and matching conditions between source and load, then S21 at the operating frequency is -6.02 dB. Based on the measurement results at the center frequency of 666 MHz, the insertion loss value obtained 0.9692 dB (6.9892–6,02) dB for hairpin-line BPF and near 0 dB (5.9511–6.02) dB for square open-loop resonator BPF. Ideally, the insertion loss value is 0 dB, but because there are some losses component of the filter, the ideal value of insertion loss is difficult to be achieved. Figure 11. Insertion loss measurement of square open-loop resonator BPF method Table 3 shows the result comparison of two band pass filters using hairpin-line and square open-loop resonator methods. For band pass filter parameter such as return loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), the performance of hairpin-line band pass filter was found better than that of square open-loop resonator although the difference in value between the two was not so significant. Fractional bandwidth parameter in both systems gave the value categorized as narrowband filter. Table 3.

CONCLUSION Based on the simulation and measurement of BPF with Hairpin Line and Square open-loop resonator method, parameter values such as return loss, VSWR, insertion loss and fractional bandwidth met the desired initial specifications. The resulting return loss was 27.3 dB for BPF hairpin line and 25.901 for BPF square open-loop resonator. VSWR parameter values were 1.09 and 1.1067 for BPF hairpin line and square open-loop resonator respectively. For the Return Loss and VSWR parameters, the BPF designed by

Bulletin of Electr Eng & Inf ISSN: 2302-9285  Band pass filter comparison of Hairpin line and square open-loop resonator method for… (Budi Prasetya) 109 using the Hairpin Line method had a better performance than the square loop though the value was not significantly different. However, for fractional bandwidth (FBW), the square loop method produced a smaller value than the hairpin equal to 4.8%, while the FBW with the hairpin method was found at 6.7%. This fractional bandwidth is corresponding with the narrowband category that has a range below 10%. This BPF is designed on the frequency of TV channels in Indonesia. The insertion loss values for the Hairpin line and square loop method were found at 0.9692 dB and near 0 dB, respectively. This was in view of a trade off between fractional bandwidth and insertion loss. When the desired fractional bandwidth value is small, the insertion loss value obtained will be large. In the dimension comparison, square open-loop resonator had a size about five times wider than hairpin-line band pass filter. Thus, in dimension parameter, the hairpin-line band pass filter was found more effective than square open-loop resonator band pass filter.
