Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a radar used to detect an object located/buried under the ground surface at a certain level of depth using electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band, without causing damage (non-destructive) on the surface. According to the function of the filter which can do frequency selection on a system, the need for a filter connected on the block next to the antenna in a GPR circuit is necessary. This filter helps the system to check and select the transmitted frequency and received frequency from the antenna. In this paper, microstrip structure is applied in filter design to obtain ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristic and to provide compact shape. The design of a two-patch case composite bandpass filter is proposed to fulfill the requirement. The design utilizes a combination of a stepped-impedance lowpass filter (LPF) as the upper stopband and quarter-wave highpass filter (HPF) to realize the lower stopband. A simulation is conducted on a dielectric substrate having a 4.4 dielectric constant and 1.6 mm thickness, followed by realization. The realization results show that the proposed filter have a good performance and produce 980 MHz wideband bandpass filter from 1.394-2.371 GHz with center frequency at 1.873 GHz. The filter has return loss value less than -10 dB and the filter rejection is sharp.
