Abstract-This letter introduces a DGS slot with an interdigital shape. The resonant frequency of the slot can be easily controlled by changing the length of the metal fingers, without changing the area taken by the structure. Using this slot, two quasi-elliptic lowpass filters were designed, fabricated and tested. The filters have a cut-off frequency of about 3 GHz.

Abstract-This paper demonstrates a general concept and different types of filters and a diplexer realized in suspended stripline using quasi-lumped elements. Very small low-pass, bandpass, and high-pass filters with typically low loss are designed, fabricated, and tested; even transmission zeroes can easily be included into the design by additional coupling structures. Finally, a low-pass and high-pass filter are combined to form a diplexer of very small size.

Abstract-This letter introduces a simple ultra-wideband suspended stripline filter with a pass-band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz and a very wide stop-band up to more than 25 GHz. The filter is realized by capactive coupling of a quasi-lumped low-pass filter to the I/O ports. Insertion loss in the pass-band is better than 0.5 dB. The filter has a length of 13.8 mm. Excellent agreement is achieved between measured and simulated results.Index Terms-Bandpass filter (BPF), suspended stripline filter, ultra-wideband (UWB) filter.
