SYNTHESIS OF TRIPLE-BAND AND QUAD-BAND BANDPASS FILTERS USING LUMPED-ELEMENT COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE RESONATORSBy M.-S. Wu, Y.-Z. Chueh, J.-C. Yeh, and S.-G. MaoAbstract: This paper develops a novel design method for synthesizing the multi-passband filter with high flexibility in various passband location and fractional bandwidth. Using the proposed compensation technology in the equivalent circuit of multi-passband resonator, the cutoff frequencies and matching property in passband regions can be improved. Triple- and quad-band bandpass filters operating in both wireless local area network (WLAN) 802.11 a/b/g and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) systems are presented to verify the design method. The lumped-element coplanar waveguide stub fabricated by the split-ring resonator is established to realize filter with compact size. All the measured, full-wave simulated and equivalent-circuit modeled results illustrate a good agreement among them, which validates the multi-passband design methodology and shows the advantages of DC elimination and deep rejection between each passband.
