Abstract

A compact wideband high-rejection microstrip bandstop filter (BSF) is presented. This filter combines two traditional BSFs: open-stub filter and spurline filter. Due to the inherently compact characteristics of the spurline, the proposed filter shows a better rejection performance than open-stub BSF without increasing the circuit size. From 3.7 to 5.4 GHz, the proposed BSF has a rejection of better than 20 dB and the maximum rejection level of 61 dB. Application of this BSF to suppress the second harmonic of an open-loop ring bandpass filter is also investigated with a 40-dB suppression improvement achieved.
