Abstract

In this paper, novel structures using split ring resonators (SRRs) and coupled lines are proposed and analyzed. SRRs are etched on three different planes and their propagation characteristics are compared. Two compact narrow band band-pass filters based on these structures are designed and their performances are demonstrated by simulated and measured results, which are in good agreement.
