A Simple Compact Microstrip Wideband Bandpass Filter

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two wideband bandpass filters with miniature size and wide stopband are proposed by using cascaded U-shaped resonators. The filters exhibit bandwidths of 31.1% and 28.8% at about 5.3GHz and 5.6GHz, respectively. Both designed filters have simple structures and compact sizes, wide passband, excellent out-band performance with wide lower and upper stopbands, and a pair of transmission zeros on both sides of passband. The new designs have evident circuit size reduction compared with relative reports. A wideband microstrip BPF is fabricated and measured, and the measurement exhibits good agreement with the prediction.
