A compact dual-band bandpass filter using folded tri-section stepped impedance resonators (FTSIRs) is proposed in this article. Resonance characteristics of the tri-section stepped impedance resonator (TSIR) are derived and described in detail. A cross-coupled dual-band filter for WLAN(2.4/5.2 GHz) is designed with four FTSIRs. The measurement of the filter is in good agreement with the simulation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) using a novel square ring loaded resonator (SRLR) is presented. The SRLR can generate a tri-band response by tuning its geometric parameters. Moreover, it can build the high-order tri-band BPFs using the proposed resonators because of the sufficient coupling between adjacent resonators. A fourth-order Chebyshev tri-band BPF centred at 2.4, 3.5 and 5.2 GHz is designed and fabricated. Measurement results agree well with the full-wave EM simulated results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
