Abstract
An electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) embedded multiple-mode resonator (MMR) is proposed to constitute an upper-stopband-improved and size-miniaturized ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF). This EBG-embedded MMR is studied to relocate its first three resonant modes within the 3.1-10.6GHz passband, whereas placing its 4th resonant mode at the coupling transmission zero of interdigital coupled-lines that drive this MMR at two sides. Meanwhile, the fifth resonant mode is rejected by virtue of the bandstop behavior of the EBG itself. Thus, a modified UWB BPF with widened upper-stopband, sharpened upper rejection skirt and lowered loss in the passband is finally constituted, designed and fabricated. The measured results demonstrate that the insertion loss is lower than 1.0 dB in the passband (4.0-10.6GHz) and higher than 15.0dB in the upper-stopband (12.0 to 20.0GHz) while the group delay variation in the passband is less than 0.2ns
