High-order coplanar waveguide (CPW) filters implemented by means of open split ring resonators (OSRRs) and open complementary split ring resonators (OCSRRs)

Abstract In this paper, it is demonstrated that transmission lines loaded with a combination of open split ring resonators (OSRRs) and open complementary split ring resonators (OCSRRs) are useful for the design of high-order band pass filters subjected to standard responses. Specifically, we present a 7-pole Chebyshev band pass filter in coplanar waveguide technology. The device is compact and filter performance is good, including a wide stopband response. With this work, we extend our previous work on the applications of OSRR- and OCSRR-loaded lines to the design of highly selective filters.
