Abstract

An ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with application oriented triple notches and simultaneously suppressed stopband is proposed. Implementing complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) and novel complementary meandered folded split ring resonators (CMFSRR) shaped defected ground structures (DGS) in the ground of proposed structure generates the triple notch in the UWB passband. The notch positions are functions of CSRR/CMFSRR profile dimensions. Stopband is suppressed using the dual attenuation poles generated by the double equilateral-U (DEU) shaped DGS. An approximate lumped equivalent circuit model of the proposed filter is presented. Measured results obtained are in good agreement with the equivalent circuit model and full wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation. The filter is small in size with an overall area of 26.06 mm × 11 mm.
