Abstract
Open-loop resonators (OLRs) are loaded with one or two stubs to design a compact bandpass filter (BPF) with a wide stopband by creating extra transmission zeros. By properly selecting the length of the stubs and their positions, extra transmission zeros are created in the stopband before the spurious passband, thus giving wide stopbands. Mathematical analyses are performed to show the effect of open stubs on the OLR. A two-stub-loaded BPF is designed and fabricated, which shows a harmonic suppression of up to 3.2fo by creating five transmission zeros and 44% size reduction as compared with a simple OLR-based filter without stubs. Measured results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis and simulation results.
