This paper presents a tri‐wideband bandpass filter (TWB‐BPF) with compact size, high band‐to‐band isolation, and multiple transmission zeros (TZs). The proposed TWB‐BPF is based on a multiple‐mode resonator (MMR), which is interpreted by the method of the even‐ and odd‐mode analysis technique. The MMR can excite 11 resonant modes, where the first two modes comprise the first passband, the next four modes form the second passband, and the last five modes are used to generate the third passband. In addition, 10 TZs are yielded to obtain high band‐to‐band isolation and wide stopband suppression characteristics up to 14.95fc1 (fc1 is the center frequency of the first passband). To verify the proposed filter, a TWB‐BPF with 3‐dB fractional bandwidths (FBWs) of 37.4%, 43.5%, and 40.4% is designed, fabricated, and measured.
