A Dual-Band Filter Using a Multimode Resonator with Asymmetrically Loaded Open-Circuited Stubs for Independent...

A novel multimode resonator is designed in this paper. Incorporating two open-circuited stubs of distinct impedances loaded onto a uniform half-wavelength transmission line, the resonator enables the realization of a dual-band filter-with center frequencies at 2.6 GHz and 4.8 GHz-through both simulation and experimental measurement. Regarding the first passband centered at 2.6 GHz, the device exhibits a return loss |S₁₁| of 13.7 dB, an insertion loss |S₂₁| of 0.37 dB, and a 3 dB bandwidth of 17.3%. As for the second passband with a center frequency of 4.8 GHz, the measured return loss |S₁₁| amounts to 23.6 dB, the insertion loss |S₂₁| measures 0.77 dB, and the 3 dB bandwidth is recorded at 8.75%. Specifically designed for 5G communication systems, the filter achieves three transmission zeros by adopting electrical coupling and 0° feeding, resulting in high selectivity and high isolation. Practical measurements verify that the experimental results are consistent with the simulation results.
