Abstract

A new microstrip lowpass filter with compact size and an ultra-wide stopband is proposed. To achieve compact size and ultra-wide band rejection, both triangular patch resonators and radial patch resonators are introduced in the filter. To reduce the circuit size of the filter further, meander transmission lines are also adopted in the design. A demonstration filter with 3 dB cutoff frequency at 1 GHz has been designed, fabricated and measured. Results indicate that the proposed filter can suppress the sixteenth harmonic response referred to a suppression degree of 15 dB. Furthermore, the proposed filter exhibits a small size of 0.111 λg×0.091 λg, where λg is the guided wavelength at 1 GHz.
