In this paper, a novel method called the chained-response method is proposed. This method can produce multiband filters with the flexibility to specify accurately the bandwidths for each passband as well as its inner-band frequency selection. This paper describes the design procedure for this method. In order to validate the design procedure, a symmetrical dual-passband filter with bandwidths of 0.2 GHz for both passbands is designed. In order to show the novelty of this method, which is the flexibility of inner-band frequency selection and the specific bandwidths, an asymmetrical dual-passband filter with bandwidths of 0.2 GHz and 0.4 GHz is designed. Both the symmetrical and asymmetrical dual-passband filters are fabricated with a waveguide structure and the measurement results for both show good agreement with the theoretical ones. Finally, the mathematical modelling for a symmetric triple-passband filter and a symmetric quad-passband filter are briefly discussed to show how the proposed method can be expanded for designing filters with more than two passbands. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2019 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85077775982&doi=10.1109%2fACCESS.2019.2940059&partnerID=40&md5=e49cac0050a51edcc7d9a28a438e8c86 id_number: 10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2940059 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Access volume: 7 pagerange: 130922-130936 refereed: TRUE issn: 21693536 citation: Bong, D.C.H. and Jeoti, V. and Cheab, S. and Wong, P.W.
