Abstract

In a parallel-coupled microstrip filter, end stages with over-coupling are designed to suppress the unwanted responses at twice the passband frequency (2fo). The inherent transmission zero of an over-coupled input/output stage is shown tunable. It is found that increasing the image impedance of the filter sections can further enhance the suppression. The designed bandpass filters thus have a wide upper stopband and improved passband response symmetry. Measured results of fabricated circuits show that the idea works very well.
