Abstract
A novel microstrip dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter is presented. The filter consists of an open stub loaded dual-mode resonator and two short stub loaded dual-mode resonators. By utilizing the odd- and even-mode resonance properties of the proposed dual-mode resonators and the introduced source-load coupling (S-L coupling), the filter is designed with two transmission zeros at both sides of each passband, which will improve the selectivity of the filter. To validate the design theory, one 100 MHz 3 dB absolute equal bandwidths dual-mode tri-band filter with three passbands located at the centre frequencies of 1.8, 2.4 and 5.0 GHz, respectively, is designed and fabricated. Both experimental results agree well with the simulations.
