Design of Composite Right/Left-Handed Coplanar-Waveguide Bandpass and Dual-Passband Filters

The design and implementation of novel coplanar-waveguide (CPW) bandpass and dual-passband filters that consist of the composite right/left-handed short-circuited stubs are proposed. In contrast to the conventional short-circuited stub, whose input impedance repeats every half-wavelength, the composite right/left-handed CPW stub combines the phase-lead composite right/left-handed CPW and the phase-lag uniform CPW to achieve the arbitrary resonant frequencies with compact size. The equivalent bandpass and dual-passband LC resonators are established by investigating the frequency responses of the composite right/left-handed CPW stubs. The composite right/left-handed CPW bandpass filter is 62.5% more compact than the conventional quarter-wavelength shunt-stub CPW bandpass filter. The composite right/left-handed CPW dual-passband filter, which possesses the sharp rejection between the two asymmetric passbands, is also developed. The synthesis procedures of the composite right/left-handed CPW bandpass and dual-passband filters are successfully validated by measurement and full-wave simulation
