摘要
A miniaturized fourth-order direct-coupled bandpass filter with good stopband responses using hexagonal stepped-impedance resonators is presented. Based on the odd- and even-mode equivalent circuits, the resonance characteristics of the hexagonal stepped-impedance resonators with mixed electric/magnetic coupling are investigated. Multiple finite-frequency transmission zeros are realized in the stopband but without introducing either cross-coupling between nonadjacent resonators or source-load coupling between input/output ports. The frequency-dependent coupling matrix of the proposed filter is presented. A new bandpass filter centered at 2.45 GHz with 6.5% fractional bandwidth has been designed and fabricated to verify the validity of the proposed method. The measurement result shows four finite transmission zeros in the stopband, located at 0.98 GHz with 73.14-dB rejection, 2.10 GHz with 48.18-dB rejection, 2.75 GHz with 53.80-dB rejection, 3.12 GHz with 57.08-dB rejection, respectively. The circuit only occupies 15.9 x 9.0 mm(2).
