A Microstrip Elliptic Function Filter with Compact Miniaturized Hairpin Resonators

Page 94.

Abstract:

A four-pole elliptic function bandpass filter is designed using compact miniaturized microstrip hairpin resonators. It is shown that the filter occupies a very small area. The full-wave simulator IE3D is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficients of the three basic coupling structures. Measurement results are compared with the computed responses.
