Abstract
A step-impedance bandpass filter is presented for multimode wireless LANs. The filter has a new dual-band feature of two tunable passbands at desired frequencies and high out-of-band suppression, generated by incorporating step-impedance resonators in a comb-filter topology. It saves more than half the circuit size compared with the switch-type dual-band topology. The simulation and measurement results show the dual-band feature of two passbands at 2.45 and 5.75 GHz with 85 dB suppression at 3.5 GHz.
