A Dual-Band Bandpass Filter with Wide Upper Stopband Using Stepped-Impedance Resonators and an Integrated Low-Pass Filter
Abstract
In this paper, a dual-band bandpass filter with a wide upper stopband is proposed and designed by integrating stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) and a low-pass filter. The operating center frequencies of the designed dual-band filter are targeted at 2.5 GHz and 5.35 GHz, respectively, to meet the frequency requirements of typical wireless communication scenarios. Notably, the filter achieves a wide upper stopband ranging from 6.1 GHz to 25 GHz, which can effectively suppress unwanted high-frequency interference signals within this frequency range and avoid mutual interference with other high-frequency communication systems. And it exhibits insertion losses of 0.12 dB (2.5 GHz) and 0.6 dB (5.35 GHz) in its two passbands to ensure minimal useful signal attenuation. The simulation results agree well with the measured results.
