Abstract:

A dual-band filter with high stopband rejection is designed using a tri-section signal to interference ratio (SIR) resonator. The center frequencies and first spurious frequencies of resonators can be controlled independently to design aspecific dual-band filter. The tri-section coupling structure is aimed at transmission zeros and high stopbands rejection. To get a high external quality factor, an inter-digital finger coupling structure is introduced. The filter has dual passband center frequencies of 1.57 GHz (GPS) and 2.5 GHz (4G), with 3 dB fractional bandwidths of 4.0% and 2.4%, respectively. Measured results well agree with simulations.
