AbstractA novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a quad band-notched function using S-SCRLHs (splitted simplified composite right/left-handed) resonator is presented. The S-SCRLHs resonator, which exhibits quadruple resonance, is realized by coupling double S-SCRLH resonator. The S-SCRLHs resonator is integrated into a conventional UWB BPF. The notched frequencies can be adjusted according to specification by altering the S-SCRLHs resonator. Band-rejected filtering properties around the C-band satellite communication band, 5.2 GHz WLAN band and the X-band satellite communication band are generated. The notching frequencies are located at 4.2/5.2/6.3/7.8 GHz. Both simulated and measured results are provided with good agreement. Compared with other BPFs, the proposed BPF has the advantages of compact size, multi-stopband and good selectivity.
