TY - JOUR AV - none ID - scholars3152 TI - A novel single and dual-band miniaturized matched band-stop filter using stepped impedance resonator SP - 229 N1 - cited By 16 N2 - In this paper in order to reduce the size and improve the performance of microwave filter, novel single and dual band matched band-stop filters are developed. A stepped impedance dual mode resonator is used, resulting in a much more compact size, than the conventional dual mode ring resonator that has an electrical length of 360°. The proposed prototype is able to achieve high stop band attenuation even with low Q factor values. Moreover, for the short electrical length of this filter, the first spurious resonance occurs at 4.7 times the fundamental resonance frequency. Therefore, the proposed technique selectively removes only the fundamental resonance frequency when such a resonator is implemented. A theoretical analysis, along with an experimental prototype is proposed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of these proposed networks.
