Abstract
In this paper, the unit cell of LH structure using microstrip transmission line and chip capacitor is devised, and the reactive components of equivalent circuit are extracted from the proposed unit cell. And then, we have analyzed for the unit cell parameters and applied the characteristics to the wideband high pass filter design. This filter cascading several unit cells with high pass property has been implemented on microstrip transmission line, and the performance has been the band rejection characteristics of 62.9 dB in the stop band to 0~2.18 GHz and less than the insertion loss of 1.17 dB in the pass band from 3.0G Hz to 12.75 GHz.
