Abstract

A new dual-band planar filter has been proposed. It is shown that the two transmission bands can be excited and designed using proposed resonators which combine different sizes of open-loop resonators. The main resonators control the low-band resonant frequency and the sub resonators control the high-band resonant frequency. With dual-feeding structures added, the performances of the filter such as frequency selectivity and insertion loss are much improved. The embedded resonators structure can further miniaturize the dimensions of the overall structure. The proposed dual-band filter will find applications in wireless communication circuits
