Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents a compact quad-band bandpass filter. The filter is realized by multi-embedded stub-load resonators. By utilizing multi-embedded structure, the whole filter exhibits a compact size. And due to the multi-section stub-loaded lines, four passbands can be realized and the center frequency of the four passbands can be controlled individually to accommodate different communication protocols. Moreover, by using 0° degree feed structure, there are two transmission zeros locates at left and right side of a passband, which greatly enhance the selectivity. To validate the proposed idea, a quad-band bandpass filter, which operates at 2/2.7/3.45/4.55 GHz is implemented. The insertion loss is smaller than 2 dB and return loss is better than 10 dB. Good agreement between the predicted and measured results demonstrates the proposed idea.
