Abstract

In this paper, a compact microstrip wideband bandpass filter (BPF) based on square ring loaded resonator (SRLR) is proposed. The SRLR is formed by loading a pair of bent open-stubs outside the diagonal corners of a square ring, which generates three split degenerated modes. The first two split modes form a dominant wideband passband. By introducing another pair of loaded open-stubs, the third split mode is moved into the passband to achieve an extra bandwidth for the wideband passband. Measured results show that this proposed BPF has a 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 69%, and the insertion loss of the BPF is less than 1.0 dB.
