Abstract
In this paper, a compact reconfigurable tri-band bandstop filter (BSF) with sharp-rejection and high selectivity is presented. The proposed filter is based on a 50\,Ohms microstrip feed line, six hexagonal metamaterial cells (HMCs) with different sizes and switches. The structure of the filter has seven different modes of operation characterized. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results is obtained. The results indicate that the proposed filter design, with overall size of 0.28λgx0.17λg, is a good candidate for multiservice radios applications.
