In this paper, dual-band bandpass filter by using Pseudo-Interdigital Stepped-Impedance Resonator(PI-SIR) and Open-Loop Ring Resonator(OLRR) is proposed. The first passband and second passband are formed by PI-SIR and the second passband is reinforced by an OLRR. In a PI-SIR the first band and second band are easily and exactly adjusted by characteristic impedance ratio and electrical length ratio. The proposed design method may be confirmed to be useful from fabricated and measured results for dual-band bandpass filter operated at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, the design formulas for bandpass filters using parallel coupled stepped impedance resonators(SIR) are derived. General content about basic feature of stepped impedance resonators(SIR) is represented. The filters and duplexer using stepped impedance resonators(SIR) have been designed and realized with the presented design method at IMT-2000 frequency band Simulations have used serenade circuit simulation and HFSS EM-simulation. We were showed excellent agreements between SIR design theory and simulation results on the multi-layer filter/duplexer.

A spurious suppressed bandpass filter is proposed and discussed using the stepped impedance resonator(SIR) on a substrate-integrated waveguide(SIW) structure with a double-layer substrate. The second resonance of the fundamental $TE_{10}$ mode can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length and impedance ratio of each SIR. The spurious suppressed SIW bandpass filter shows the measurement results of the insertion loss of 3.98 dB and return loss of less than 11.58 dB at the center frequency of 12 GHz. Also, the second spurious frequency is improved to about $1.5f_0$ compared with $1.33f_0$.

This letter presents a compact dual-mode tri-band bandpass filter by using a short-circuited stub-loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) and a short-circuited stub-loaded uniform impedance resonator. Also, a hairpin SIR geometry is introduced to miniature the size of this filter while maintaining excellent performance. The use of a short-circuited stub at the central point of the hairpin SIR can generate two resonant modes in two passbands. Its equivalent circuit structure is analyzed by using the even-odd mode theory. For demonstration purposes, a tri-band filter for the applications of the Global Positioning System at 1.57 GHz, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access at 3.5 GHz, and wireless local area networks at 5.2 GHz is designed, fabricated, and measured.

This paper has designed a wideband bandpass filter (WBSF : Wide Band Stop Filter) using a stepped impedance resonator (SIR : Stepped Impedance Resonator) with improved performance and improved hairpin coupling structure. The SIR WBSF is small in size and has the advantage of having excellent bandstop characteristics. The designed BSF has a structure in which a quadrangular shaped hairpin of a / 4 length is arranged symmetrically on the upper and lower sides of the input and output transmission lines. The input and output terminals were terminated at 50 ohms for system applications. The center frequency of the SIR WBSF is 6.3 GHz, which is the second harmonic of 3.15 GHz. The designed filter has a 3dB bandwidth of 2.9 GHz and a transmission coefficient ($S_{21}$) of 33.2 dB. The reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) at the center frequency is 0.106 dB. The application field is used for fixed microwave relay stations, fixed satellite and earth stations, and fixed satellite communications. The overall size is $20mm{\times}10mm$.

In this paper, a four-pole quasi-elliptic function bandpass filter of 1.95GHz center frequency with 60 MHz bandwidth for IMT-2000 using miniaturized square SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) is designed and fabricated. The simulation of NUFDTD(Nonuniform Finite Difference Time Domain) is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficient of three basic structures. The size reduction of miniaturized square SIR resonator is about more than 50% compare with a square open loop resonator. Bandpass filter using this resonator shows good microwave characteristic with the harmonic suppression of about 19dB. The results of measurements are almost similar to those of simulation.

In SIR filter, fringing capacitances and discontinuities yield a distorted frequency response from those expected by design formulas, especially in higher frequencies. In this paper, a procedure is presented in order to compensate for fringing capacitances and step impedance discontinuities by EM simulation for a 5th order SIR filter. This method propose the procedure of tuning the coupling and the length of individual resonator by EM simulation. For the filter composed by the tuned resonators, no further tuning is required. The procedure is experimentally justified by comparing the measured data of the fabricated filter with the simulation results.

This paper proposes a tri-band bandpass filter using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with parallel coupled structures. The proposed filter adopts U-shaped SIRs with open stubs and parallel coupled lines (PCLs) that have inter-digital and comb-line shorted ends. Two U-shaped SIRs with open stubs build the first and third passband, and the central PCL resonators build the second passband. Five resonators and coupling structures are theoretically analyzed to derive the scattering parameters of the proposed filter. A novel tri-band bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using the induced scattering parameters. The measured result of the fabricated tri-band bandpass filter shows a good agreement with the simulated one.

In this paper, each electrical length and harmonics of the multi-stage SIR are calculated by using the input impedance for the variable application of SIR in the microwave systems. The size reduced ratio of the SIR is slightly reduced as increasing of the number of stage. The impedance ratio between lower and higher impedance of the SIR has the dominant effect on the size reduced ratio and harmonic characteristics. Also the equivalent impedance of the SIR is a geometric mean between lower and higher impedance and the quality factor of the SIR is similar to the half-wavelength resonator's.
