The implementation of fractal Koch geometry aims to minimize the dimension of filter which affects to reduce the need of material. The filter which utilizes the 1st iteration of fractal Koch geometry, later referred as fractal hairpin BPF is established using 7 elements deployed on a Rogers RO4350 dielectric substrate with the thickness of 1.52 mm. Prior to hardware realization, the proposed filter is numerically characterized to deal with the required specification. The filter which is intended for radar application is designed to have center frequency of 3 GHz with the 3 dB minimum working bandwidth of 200 MHz. It is shown that the realized fractal hairpin BPF which has the dimension of 16mm × 47mm and is approximately 20% smaller than the dimension of conventional one demonstrates the 3 dB working bandwidth of 260MHz with the center frequency of 3.01 GHz.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Center frequency,Dielectric substrates,Hair-pin bandpass filter,Hardware realization,Narrow bands,Radar applications[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
