Abstract

A novel multi-band band-reject filter based on multi-ring complementary split-ring resonators (multi-ring CSRRs) is presented. The proposed filter is realized by etching the multi-ring CSRRs in the ground plane beneath a microstrip line. The multi-ring CSRR offers the possibility of designing multi-band filters with a small size and simple structure. To validate the proposed prototype of the multi-band filter, a dual-band and tri-band filters were fabricated and tested. The proposed filters show a good multi-band property to satisfy the requirement of WLAN in the 2.4/5.8 GHz bands and WiMAX in the 2.5/3.4 GHz bands. A good agreement between experimental and simulated results is obtained.
