Abstract
Abstract This paper presents and validates a compact dual-band bandpass filter with independent controllable passbands and isolation. The proposed filter is constructed by two transmission paths from input port to output port. Based on the transversal cancellation mechanism of two transmission paths, dual passband with independent controllable characteristics can be approached. The transversal cancellation techniques yield extra transmission zeros, which are located at 2.56 GHz, 3.58 GHz and 4.43 GHz respectively. Therefore, two passbands centered at 2.25/3.9 GHz are divided by triple transmission zeros. These transmission zeros also improve the out-of-band suppression performance of proposed filter. The designed prototype filter is implemented and tested, the measured 3 dB passband fractional bandwidths are 12.4 % and 7.5 %, respectively, and the minimum insertion losses are 0.48 dB and 0.88 dB respectively. Additionally, the dual-band transversal filter only occupies 0.012 λ g 2 ${\lambda }_{g}^{2}$ , which λ g is the guided wavelength at 50 Ω microstrip line at 2.25 GHz.
