A stepped impedance resonator (SIR) based wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with a good rejection level in the extended upper stopband is presented in this article. The proposed SIR is found to have the ability to introduce two transmission poles in the passband. By appropriately selecting the impedance ratio and length ratio (α) of the SIRs, the BPF can provide a wide passband and a sharp rejecti...

A novel compact-sized ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BPF is highly selective and is able to eliminate WLAN signals from 5.15-5.35 GHz, and downlink of X-band satellite communication signals from 7.25-7.75 GHz. Generally, a multiple-mode resonator (MMR), comprised of a U-shaped line, with two high impedance stubs connected to it, and one steppe...

Abstract In this paper, a new ultra‐wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) based on QMR (quintuple‐mode resonator) loaded with quasi‐lumped elements is proposed for wide stopband application. The method of connecting five folded U‐shaped resonators rectangular patches to construct was proposed. By adjusting the relative position patches, frequency band width can be freely adjusted. Further, were ...

The bandpass filters are most widely used in radio frequency (RF) front end equipment of the microwave wireless communication systems. The parallel-coupled line structures are popular for the bandpass filters such as the parallel-coupled lines cascaded together [1]. The parallelcoupled lines combined with open-stub lines for harmonic suppression improvement was also proposed [2]. Furthermore, s...
