Abstract

In this article, a miniaturized bandpass filter with improved stopband using a short-circuit centered stepped impedance resonator is presented. An extra transmission zero can be provided near the passband for good frequency selectivity by introducing mixed electric/magnetic coupling in the proposed filter. Multiple transmission zeros are introduced in the upper stopband via, taking advantage of the harmonic effects of the distributed transmission line. Meanwhile, source-load coupling is introduced to improve the skirt selectivity via shifting the transmission zeros to the vicinity of the passband. The odd- and even-mode analytical method is used to design the filter. To verify the validity of the proposed technique, the new bandpass filter has been analyzed, simulated, and fabricated. The measurement results agree well with the full-wave electromagnetic designed responses.
