Abstract

A new filter prototype consisting of multistage one-wavelength stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) and two short-circuited stubs located at both ends was proposed based on the synthesis theory to achieve an ultra-wideband passband filter. With this prototype, a ultra-wideband bandpass (UWB) filter with the fractional bandwidth of 110% was synthesized to meet FCC´s (Federal Communications Commission) outdoor frequency mask. The measured frequency responses agree with the predicted ones, which validates the correctness of the presented synthesis technique.
