Abstract :
We report an investigation of novel slow-wave ladder microstrip line bandpass filters. The investigation has shown that the ladder microstrip line filters can be designed based on the knowledge of the conventional microstrip coupled line filters. The new type of filter has a smaller size than the conventional one because of the slowwave effect on the ladder line. Two filters of this type have for the first time been designed and fabricated. The measured performances are presented.
