Abstract
A novel compact dual-wideband bandpass filter (BPF), with two multi-mode resonators (MMRs), a quad-mode one (QMR) and a triple-mode one (TMR), is proposed in this paper. The first passband is generated by a QMR loaded with a short-ended stub and two open-ended stubs, and the second one is realized by a TMR loaded with a square ring and a short-ended stub. Each passband can be tuned separately by controlling the corresponding resonator. The classical even-/odd-mode analysis is applied to characterize the presented MMRs due to their symmetric configurations. In order to validate the design methodology, a dual-wideband BPF prototype centered at 2.34 and 3.46 GHz with fractional bandwidths of 25.6% and 21.4% for WLAN and WiMAX applications is designed, fabricated and measured. Measurements have good agreement with simulations.
