The design procedure of a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) stepped impedance resonator (SIR) low pass filter (LPF), is presented in this paper. A SIR LPF with 15.5 GHz cutoff frequency miniaturized by meander line technique is designed and it is shown that offsetting the stepped impedance resonators, as well as indenting the tap location greatly improve rejection bandwidth. By cascading multiple fi...

This paper presents a low loss and high selective lowpass filter which is implemented using suspended stripline (SSL) technology. The proposed structure is comprised of a 13th order generalized Chebyshev lowpass filter which enjoys integrated waveguide-to-SSL transitions. This filter is designed and fabricated to be used as lowpass channel of a U-band diplexer employed in frontend of a U-band d...

A compact microstrip lowpass filter using radial stub resonators is developed. This filter is composed of two radial stub resonators that are asymmetrically connected to each other by a stepped impedance structure. This structure results in a very high rejection and wide stopband. The proposed filter with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 2.07 GHz has been designed, fabricated and measured. Measuremen...

A miniaturized ultra wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with improved out-of band performances is presented in this paper. Based on the combination of low-pass and high-pass filters, the UWB filter is realized in a semilumped technology using microstrip transmission lines and surface mounted capacitors. In this paper, the filter design rules have been carried out. Furthermore, filters having a 3-dB...

A broadband microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with compact size, sharp skirt and wide upperstopband performance is proposed using the triple-mode stub-loaded resonator. The resonator can generate one odd mode and two even modes in the desired passband. Due to the main path signal counteraction, two transmission zeros Tz1, Tz2 can be created near the passband edge to achieve sharp skirt. Two tran...
