Abstract :
Advanced dual-band stepped-impedance resonator filters are prototyped and their performances verified. The main advantages compared to traditional designs consist in two controllable passbands at desired frequencies, which is achieved by utilizing all-electric coupling, wide stopband regions towards higher frequencies and relatively small circuitry. Measurements over a wide frequency range verify the suitability of the resonator arrangements for advanced dual-band filter applications.
