A dual-band bandpass filter with stepped-impedance resonators uses only
one circuit to generate dual-band effect. It adopts the principle of
stepped-impedance resonator, which contains a connecting section and two
coupling sections. The impedance and electrical length of the connecting
section and coupling sections conforms to a selected condition to
generate two passbands at desired frequencies. A multi-layer
broadside-coupled parallel lines structure may be applied to increase
coupling-amount between the parallel lines so that the dual-band bandpass
filters have broader bandwidth and less loss.
