Abstract

In this paper, the potential use of split ring resonators (SRRs) to design very compact dual-band bandstop waveguide filters is proposed. Two square SRRs are placed on a same transverse plane realizing two independent reject bands. By adjusting the SRRs length, the stopbands can be targeted at the desired frequencies. In addition, a simple circuit model for this resonator is introduced. Good agreement between the experimental and full-wave simulated results has been achieved.
