摘要

Novel compact tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) with controllable bandwidths is presented in this letter. The tri-band performance is realized by using three sets of resonators, i.e., two sets of short-stub loaded dual-mode resonators, which are designed for the first and second passband, respectively, and half-wavelength resonators for the third passband. The three passband frequencies and bandwidths could be independently tuned and designed. The half-wavelength resonators are embedded between the two dual-mode resonators and serve as part of feed lines for the first and second passband, thus compact size is realized. The newly designed tri-band BPF is verified by circuit implementation and good agreement between the simulated and measured results can be observed.
