In this paper, the exact analysis of the parallel coupled line with open stub is presented. This structure shows LPF characteristics with broad stopband and sharp skirt characteristics. We derived the exact Z-matrix expression of the structure. In order to show the validation of the expression we designed $3^{th}$ order Chebyshev LPF using the structure. The simulated data excellently agreed with the predicted values by the calculation using the derived expression.
