Abstract

A compact dual-wideband bandstop filter based on transversal signal-interference concept is proposed in this paper. Two transmission paths with a half-wavelength open stub and two open coupled lines are used to realize two wide stopbands for WLAN bands. Second-order stopband with two transmission poles near each stopband can be easily realized by the two transmission paths. A planar dual-wideband bandstop filter with 3-dB fractional bandwidths of 54.2% and 23.6% is designed and fabricated. The theoretical and measured results are in good agreement and show good in-band filtering performance and high selectivity.
