Abstract
This paper presents a new compact dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with a stub-loaded resonator structure that can independently change its operating band to support GSM and WiFi applications for modern wireless communications. A short-circuit stub with a metal through hole is placed into the symmetrical resonator together with a pair of step impedance stubs and a pair of uniform open-circuit stubs. Inside the resonator, the open stubs fold in on themselves, minimizing the circuit for integration with other parts and enhancing the selectivity of the filter. Even-odd mode theory can be employed to investigate the circuit because of the resonator geometric symmetry. The first and second operational frequency bands can then be built using the calculated odd and even mode frequencies to match our requirements. The manufactured experimental dual-band filter is compared to the simulation results, and the statistics revealed good agreement. The calculated structural measures 0.13λg × 0.1λg.
