## Abstract In this letter, a compact dual‐band bandpass filter (BPF) using the meandering stepped impedance resonators (MSIRs) for the wireless local area networks (WLANs) is proposed. The dual‐band performance of the BPF is adjusted by the physical length (α) and impedance ratio (K) of the MSIRs.

Abstract
A 2.4‐GHz bandpass filter is implemented on a flexible printed circuit board with a thickness of 127 μm for wearable RF applications.The bandpass filter is realized in a double‐sided structure, of which the top side provides the main filtering characteristics using two coupled resonators and the bottom side provides efficient signal feeding and coupling using mixed coupling scheme. The mixed coupling scheme combining the broadside‐ and cross‐coupling structures is advantageous to improve the insertion loss. The filter characteristics when bended by up to 90° are simulated using a three‐dimensional electromagnetic simulation tool and experimentally verified. Measurement results show that the insertion loss is less than 1 dB and the return loss is less than 26 dB across the total passband from 2.4 to 2.5 GHz. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A fully integrated 2.4 GHz direct up conversion RF transmitter compliant with low‐power ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) standard is presented. The linear and gain controlled current mirror amplifier is used for up conversion mixer. It consumes 8 mA with 1.8‐V power supply. The obtained transmitt
This paper presents a low noise first down-conversion mixer with a notch filter for the heterodyne receiver. The notch filter connected to the output node of the mixer driver stage plays a role of image rejection at an image frequency, thereby suppressing the sideband image noise and improving the m
