Abstract
Abstract
In this article, two dual-band microstrip bandpass filters (BPFs) with high selectivity and independently controllable passbands are designed based on three parallel-coupled lines (TPCLs). The first BPF proposed in this paper is achieved by employing a pair of folded F-type resonators (FFRs) and conventional TPCL structure. By adjusting the above parameters of each FFR, the center frequencies of the two passbands can be controlled easily. In the meantime, TPCL can enhance the coupling between the source and load, and introduce multiple transmission zeros (TZs), which can conduce to a higher selectivity. To obtain superior selectivity, the second BPF is designed based on a novel TPCL. The novel TPCL is based on the traditional one, which further enhances selectivity since transmission paths are doubled. In order to achieve miniaturization and enhance coupling, FFRs are folded. In addition, four transmission zeros (TZs) are generated to improve the selectivity of the two passbands. The measured results of the fabricated BPFs centered at 2.45/3.5 GHz agree well with the simulated ones, which validates the proposed design method.
