Abstract :
A novel dual-band bandstop E-plane filter topology is proposed and experimentally tested. This novel topology involves a finite number of coupled resonators to realise single and dual-bandstop response. Practical filter design guidelines are presented. The proposed designs maintain low-cost and are suitable for mass manufacturing. The fabricated and tested prototypes validate the proposed dual-band stopband filter configuration.
