An ultra-compact hairpin band pass filter with additional zero points

A novel quasi-hairpin filter is presented in this letter. The generation of zero points is investigated. Second-order and fourth-order filters, based on separate coupling paths, have been implemented. The filters show ultra-compact size, steep selectivity and deep stopband with additional transmissi...

Description
Summary:A novel quasi-hairpin filter is presented in this letter. The generation of zero points is investigated. Second-order and fourth-order filters, based on separate coupling paths, have been implemented. The filters show ultra-compact size, steep selectivity and deep stopband with additional transmission zero points. The measured fourth-order filter operating at 1.69 GHz, with a fractional bandwidth of 10% has only an active area of 5.5 mm × 6.2 mm (0.031lambda0times0.035lambda0)
