摘要

A novel dual-wideband bandpass filter with controllable bandwidths is presented in this article. Two passbands for the WLAN band are realised based on a multimode resonator with three open stubs. The bandwidth of the two-order passbands with even or odd mode can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the characteristic impedance of the multimode resonator. A planar microstrip dual-wideband bandpass filter prototype with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 16.7% and 9.2% is designed and fabricated. High selectivity and good in-band performance can be achieved in the dual-wideband bandpass filter.
