Abstract
A microstrip bandpass filter implemented with slow-wave open-loop resonators is described in this letter. The slow-wave open-loop resonators make the filter compact and allow implementation of positive and negative inter-resonator couplings. Implementation of the positive and negative couplings is used to introduce a pair of finite frequency transmission-zeros in the filter response. The two zeros are designed to be close to the passband, thus improving the selectivity of the filter. As an example, a quasi-elliptic filter is fabricated. The quasi-elliptic filter has a compact dimension of 22.1 mm × 21.16 mm, which is approximately 0.1705λg × 0.1634λ g . The experimental results are demonstrated and discussed.
