概要 This paper presents a synthesis of ultra-wideband bandpass (UWB) filters consisting of two short-circuited stubs combined with two-stage of stepped impedance resonators (SIRs). The practical and theoretical transfer functions of the UWB filters are derived. An example filter is firstly theoretically-designed by the recently-proposed synthesis scheme, then optimized by EM simulator, fabricated in microstrip line and finally characterized by network analyzer. A good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results validates the synthesis procedure successfully. In addition, the results of the designed filter show that the characteristics of the filter is significantly improved compared with the filters composed of only two-stage of SIRs but without stubs. The designed filter also exhibits good characteristics of low insertion losses, quite sharp skirts, a flat group delay, deep attenuations in stopband (especially in lower one) and satisfies even FCC outdoor specifications. It should be note that the proposed filter prototype can be also used to realize a UWB filter with an FBW even greater than 110%.
