“…In order to suppress the spurious passbands, many methods has been presented such as methods using the stepped-impedance resonators and grounded-step-impedance resonators [11,18,20,23,25,26], fractal-shaped micro-strip [12], multiorder resonator [13], T-stub/DGS [14], antisymmetric modied antiparallel coupled-lines [15,19,21], branch stubs co-via structure [22], DGS and Spur-line Coupling Structures [24], etc.. However, the size of structures above is not small enough and the higher frequency spurious passbands can not also be suppressed efficiently [10][11][12][13][14][15][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Openstub and air-bridge have been introduced to create transmission zeros around 3f 0 and 5f 0 in a compact filter [16].…”
