Abstract
This paper presents a new method for designing multiband bandpass filters (BPFs). The filter consists of low-pass filter and two open stub-loaded shorted stubs. Multiple transmission zeros (TZs) are produced by the open stub-loaded shorted stub, and multiple passbands can be realized. For the first time, different numbers of open stubs are used to realize multiband BPFs with two to seven passbands. The center frequencies and the last passband bandwidth can be tuned in a certain range by adjusting the TZs and transmission poles. First, a wideband BPF is presented to introduce the design concept. Theoretical analysis is done to illustrate the design principle. Then, a wide single-band BPF and a dual-band BPF are designed to demonstrate the design method. The design procedure is summarized to guide the design process. Finally, tri-/quad-/quint-/sext-/sept-band BPFs are designed according to the design principle. All the BPFs are manufactured. Measured results show good agreement with simulated ones.
