Abstract: This technical paper presents a new type of double folded hairpin line microstrip bandpass filter with high selectivity, low cost and 40-50% reduction in size compared to a conventional hairpin line bandpass filter. The filters are not only compact size due to the slow-wave effect, but also have a wider upper stopband resulting from the dispersion effect. These attractive features make the resonator filters hold promise for RF/wireless, mobile communications and other ground and space applications. The design topology has the advantage of desirable narrowband, high selectivity, reasonable return loss, small sized and low cost microstrip filters, make the design more simpler for wider applications in the modern wireless radio communication systems. The expected frequency responses have been simulated by using the Agilent-make ADS and IE3D-Zealand softwares. The measured and simulated results show good agreement.
