This thesis explores advances in microwave passive device design, focusing on balanced circuits (filters, diplexers, couplers) to achieve improved common-mode rejection. It investigates novel designs for both planar and 3D printed devices. Planar balanced circuits form the core of this research, with designs including a dual-band...

Two new compact balanced-to-balanced diplexers composed of two multiband balanced bandpass filters in a multilayer configuration are proposed in this letter to perform dual- and tri-band responses. The balanced bandpass filters are based on the use of magnetically coupled open-loop resonators. The magnetic coupling results in a strong inherent...

A new dual-band balanced bandpass filter based on magnetically coupled open-loop resonators in multilayer technology is proposed in this paper. The lower differential passband, centered at the Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 frequency, 1.575 GHz, was created by means of two coupled resonators etched in the middle layer of the structure,...
