Abstract
We present a tunable ultra-wideband band-stop filter utilizing graphene with a straightforward staggered structure. The transmission spectrum has been meticulously analyzed using the effective-index-based transfer matrix method (EIB-TMM). The results demonstrate that the filtering properties can be precisely tailored by manipulating the Fermi energy level of graphene. Importantly, we have successfully achieved a remarkable ultra-wideband stopband by optimizing the staggered parameters. Our exploration of redefining the staggered structure through adjustments to three critical parameters has revealed a crucial role in expanding bandwidth. This investigation deepens our understanding of how nonperiodic structures can effectively broaden bandwidth and holds great promise for the prospective design of ultra-wideband band-stop devices.
