In this paper, we propose the new compact multilayer quint-passband bandpass filter. The multilayer substrate technique is used for further miniaturizing the circuit size. The filter has quint passband at 1.8, 2.5, 3.3, 3.8 and 4.5 GHz. Coupled resonators such as the stepped impedance resonators (SIRs), stub-loaded uniform impedance resonators (UIRs), and quarter-wavelength uniform impedance resonators are applied to produce the quint-passband of the filter simultaneously. The stub-loaded uniform impedance resonators and stepped impedance resonators can easily obtain a filter with closed passbands. Using a multilayer substrate technique, the filter can provide multipath propagation to improve the frequency response and achieve a compact circuit size. The proposed quint-passband bandpass filter shows a simple configuration, a practical design method, and a small circuit size.
