Abstract

A novel bandpass filter using double-sided parallel-strip line (DSPSL) is proposed in this paper. Based on the differential characteristics of DSPSL, the proposed filter has a wide stopband up to the third spurious resonance frequency. Also, this filter can achieve high power-handling capability because the linewidth of DSPSL is wider than that of microstrip with the same characteristic impedance. A demonstration filter was designed, fabricated, and measured. Theoretical and experimental results are presented and show good agreement. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
