Abstract
A novel compact microstrip bandpass filter using folded open loop resonator is presented. The resonator elements are placed in close proximity to parallel coupled microstrip lines. The presence of undesired harmonics is eliminated here by properly modifying the configuration of the folded resonator. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement.
