Abstract
This paper proposes a new microstrip stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) used for bandpass filters with reduced size and improved stopband characteristics. A comprehensive treatment of both ends of the resonator with loaded triangular and rectangular microstrips is described. The design concept is demonstrated by two filter examples including four-resonator parallel-coupled Chebyshev bandpass and compact four-resonator cross-coupled elliptic-type filters. These filters are not only compact size due to the slow-wave effect, but also have a wider upper stopband resulting from the resonator bandstop characteristic. The filter designs are described in details. The simulated and experimental results are demonstrated and discussed.
