Abstract:

A new dualband bandpass filter for 2.4/5.2 GHz WLAN systems using two stepped impedance resonators is presented. With a properly coupled structure, this filter appears very compact and easy to fabricate. Measured results show that this filter has very low insertion loss of 0.3 dB at 2.4 GHz and 0.7 dB at 5.2 GHz, and broad fractional bandwidths in both passbands, that is, 30% and 17%, respectively. Measured results are in good agreement with simulation.
