Design of compact wideband bandpass filter with broad stopband using hybrid HMSIW and open‐circuit tri‐section stepped impedance resonators

Abstract

AbstractA compact wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with broad stopband using hybrid half‐mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) resonator and open‐circuit tri‐section SIRs (OTSIRs) is proposed. A BPF with 3 transmission poles (TPs) and 3 transmission zeros is obtained by cascading the HMSIW resonator and OTSIRs using J and K inverters. A demonstrated wideband BPF with the stopband up to 4.4 times the designed center frequency for a 20 dB rejection level is designed, fabricated and measured. The measured results verify the predicted attractive features.
