摘要
A compact wideband microstrip bandpass filter using transversal resonator and asymmetrical interdigital coupled lines is proposed in this letter. A wide passband is first constructed using transversal signal-interference technique, resulting a pair of transmission zeros at each side of the desired passband. By driving this transversal resonator with two asymmetrical interdigital coupled lines at two sides, five extra transmission zeros are generated in the lower/upper stopbands with excellent dc-choked property, thus making up a wide passpand with improved out-of-band performance. This wideband microstrip filter is then designed, implemented and experimented. Good insertion/return losses, flat group delay and good out-of-band rejections are achieved as demonstrated in both simulation and experiment.
