Abstract
In this paper, two bandpass filters—one with a dual-band response and the other with a wideband response—were designed, implemented, and experimented with. The filters are based on the novel combination of series coupled lines and tri-stepped impedance stubs. However, coupled lines along with tri-stepped impedance open stubs (TSIOSs) give a third-order dual passband response. The advantage of dual-band filters using coupled lines and TSIOSs is that they have wide passbands that are close together and separated by a single transmission zero. In contrast, the inclusion of tri-stepped impedance short-circuited stubs (TSISSs) instead of TSIOSs provides a fifth-order wide passband response. The advantage of wideband bandpass filters using coupled lines and TSISSs is that they have a very good selectivity factor. Theoretical analysis was carried out to validate both filter configurations. The tested bandpass filter using coupled lines and TSIOS units had two close wide passbands operating at 0.92 and 1.52 GHz center frequencies, respectively. The dual-band bandpass filter was implemented to operate in GSM and GPS applications. The first passband had a 3 dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 38.04%, while the second passband had a 3 dB FBW of 22.36%. The experimental result of the wideband bandpass filter (with coupled lines and TSISS units) had a center frequency of 1.51 GHz with a 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 62.91% and a selectivity factor of 0.90. A good congruence was demonstrated between the full-wave simulated and tested results for both filters.
