摘要

Resonant performances of the hexagonal resonators are analysed, and new tri-mode tri-band bandpass filter which operates at 2.5/2.8, 5.2/5.5 and 7.9/8.5GHz with insertion loss of no more than 1.3dB is presented by using a single fractal hexagonal resonator. It shows with fractal-shaped defection in hexagonal patch, filter performance is greatly improved and dual and tri-band bandpass filters can be implemented. The tri-band designs are demonstrated by experiment. The new hexagonal filter has outstanding advantages of multiple-band operation, miniature size, simple and compact structure without resonator coupling gaps. All these features are quite useful for applications in RF circuits.
