Abstract

In this letter, a novel compact and high selectivity dual-mode dual-band microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with quarter-wavelength resonator and stub-loaded resonator is proposed using extended feed lines.Either of the SIRs cannot only separately generate one passband but also mainly control the passband performance. Due to the extended feed lines, parasitic coupling and intrinsic characteristics of the resonators, multiple transmission zeros can be created to improve the selectivity. Meanwhile, the BPF can obtain compact size due to the folded resonators and feed lines. A dual-mode dual-band BPF with the fractional bandwidth 15.6 and 6.4% is designed and fabricated. The simulated and measured results show a better agreement and validate the proposed theory. The size is only 0.185λg × 0.130λg in which λgis the guided wavelength at the first passband center frequency. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
