Abstract
A novel microstrip dual-band filter with high frequency selectivity and extended rejection band is reported in this letter. The proposed filter employs one pair of open stub loaded stepped impedance resonators (OSLSIRs) functioning at two frequencies of interest. Two short stub loaded stepped impedance resonators (SSLSIRs) are embedded between the coupled OSLSIRs to generate quasi-elliptic response at two diverse frequencies. Contributed by the 0° feed structure, extra transmission zeros are produced to enhance the out-of-band rejection. OSLSIRs/SSLSIRs are chosen to achieve desired in-band performance and misaligned harmonic frequencies simultaneously. To demonstrate the efficacy of the design concept, a dual-band filter centering at 1.63 and 2.73 GHz is implemented. The design methodology and measured results are presented.
