“…A tremendous interest in the exploration of UWB bandpass filters (BPFs) with good in-band transmission and out-of-band rejection performances has been aroused. Recently, various new structures and design methods have been used to develop new UWB bandpass filters, such as composite lowpass-highpass filter topology [1], coupled-line structure [2], planar balun [3], cross coupling structure [4], transversal signal-interaction [5] and multiple-mode resonators (MMRs) [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. The multiple-mode resonator was originally used to design the UWB filter in [7].…”
