Design of Tri-Band Filter Based on Stub Loaded Resonator and DGS Resonator

A tri-band bandpass filter using stub loaded resonator (SLR) and defected ground structure (DGS) resonator is proposed in this letter. The DGS resonator on the lower plane constructs the first pass-band, and the SLR on the upper plane forms the second and third pass-bands, in which a DGS loop is properly used to provide the coupling between the SLRs. The three pass-bands are combined together with a common T-shaped feed line, and a reasonable tuning method is adopted to tune the three pass-bands with smooth responses. A compact tri-band filter with three pass-bands centered at 2.45, 3.5, and 5.25 GHz is designed and fabricated. The measurement results agree well with the full-wave electromagnetic designed responses.
