Sumario:A novel technique for designing balanced-to-balanced diplexers with enhanced common-mode rejection is presented. In this approach, the conventional T-junction typically used to feed the diplexer output channels is replaced by a pair of over-coupled H-shaped resonators. Each output channel is implemented using a second-order balanced filter, also based on H-shaped resonators. These filters are independently designed using standard coupled-resonator theory and are subsequently electromagnetically coupled to a common differential input port to achieve diplexing functionality. For performance comparison, two diplexers are designed: one employing the traditional T-junction and the other utilizing the proposed over-coupled H-shaped resonators. Both simulation and measurement results confirm the superiority of the proposed architecture in terms of common-mode rejection and overall performance.
