Effect of External Circuit Susceptance Upon Dual-Mode Coupling of a Bandpass Filter

Arun Chandra Kundu, Member, IEEE and Ikuo Awai Senior Member, IEEE

Page 457.

Abstract:

The effect of external circuit susceptances in the coupling between the dual-modes of a microstrip ring resonator bandpass filter in addition to the main stub perturbation susceptances is described. New theoretical expressions are devised to calculate this coupling and they are experimentally verified.
