Abstract
In this article, a bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed by etching stepped impedance complementary split ring resonators (SICSRRs) pairs in parallel with series gaps on the top side of a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is used to analyze the left-handed (LH) behavior of the filter. The effects of the resonators parameters on the left-handed BPF are studied. The parameters and number of the resonators are adjusted properly to obtain the desired filter characteristics. Split ring resonators (SRRs) are magnetically coupled to the BPF to realize a novel left-handed dual-band bandpass filter. Besides, The dual-band filter is described by means of the lumped-element equivalent circuit model. Also, the quasi-static analysis is used to obtain the equations for the resonant frequencies of the resonators. The efficient electrical size of the dual-band filter is 0.51λg × 0.42λg where λg represents the guided wavelength at the first passband center frequency. The prototype of the compact dual-band BPF is fabricated and measured. The measured results reveal low insertion loss and high return loss at the passbands along with wide upper stopband attenuation. The measured result is in a good agreement with the corresponding simulation result.
