Abstract
A miniature planar two-pole microstrip filter with independent electric and magnetic coupling has been developed at 2.1 GHz. The independent coupling allows separate control of two transmission zeroes and result in a sharp filter skirt. The two-pole filter occupies an area of 6.6/spl times/4.6 mm/sup 2/ (30 mm/sup 2/) on an /spl epsi//sub r/=10.2 substrate, and shows a 5% bandwidth (100 MHz) and an insertion loss of 1.4 dB. The filter unloaded Q is 150 at 2.1 GHz which is much better than compatible filters done in LTCC technology.
