In this article, we proposed at first step a new compact dual-mode bandstop filter with broad stopband and low insertion loss in the passband using one ring resonator. Based of this microstrip ring resonator, a novel type of multibandpass filters is proposed. The idea of the proposed filters is to engineer the transmission band using multireject band resonators, which are implemented using multi-armed open-loop resonators that are directly coupled to the input/output ports. Each resonator pair of alms creates a reject band in the transmission response. By properly adjusting the multireject bands, appropriate multitransmission bands are created. The idea was verified by designing three different filters with multibandpass response. The designed and fabricated filters have compact size with good agreement between the measured and simulated responses.
