Abstract: A novel dual-band filter using stub-loaded multiple stepped-impedance resonators is proposed. This filter can control each center frequency independently. In order to get more degrees of freedom, the microstrip filter uses a multiple stepped-impedance structure. Due to symmetry of the structure, the traditional even-odd mode analysis can be used. A dual-band filter can easily be obtained by adjusting the impedance ratio and electrical length. The dual-band filter with 3 dB relative bandwidths of 6% and 2.6% can be applied to 2.44 GHz (WLAN) and 3.50 GHz (WiMAX), respectively. Simulation results agree well with measurements.

Key words: bandpass filter (BPF), dual-band, even-odd mode, stepped stub-loaded
