Abstract
A miniaturized Y-shaped dual-band bandpass filter with multiple transmission zeros/poles is presented in this work. The proposed filter configuration comprises series coupled lines, shunt cascaded coupled line and parallel open stubs, and stepped impedance resonators. Analysis of the proposed filter is executed using a circuit simulator, and the magnitude and bandwidth variations have been studied. Equations for transmission zero frequencies have been derived and verified based on lossless transmission line theory and even-odd mode analysis to validate the proposed filter configuration. A prototype operating at 1.38 GHz (GPS) and 3.4 GHz (Wi-Max) applications is fabricated and experimented. The final prototype occupies a compact area of 0.33λg × 0.20λg, where λg is the guided wavelength at the first band (1.38GHz). The experimental results show that the roll-off rate for the first and second passbands is 212.5 and 188 dB/GHz, respectively, indicating high selectivity. The insertion loss is better than 20 dB indicating good isolation between the two passbands.
