| Abstract: | In this letter, a T-shaped microstrip feeding arrangement is proposed to design wideband bandpass filter (BPF) using shorted slot-line resonators. This feed line produces frequency selective external coupling which is utilized to suppress unwanted harmonics. Up to sixth order harmonics are suppressed. Other advantages are low passband group delay variation, ease of fabrication, low insertion loss (IL), and compact size. A fabricated BPF of fractional bandwidth 56.3% at midband frequency 2.3 GHz has a maximum IL of 1.2 dB in its passband and 30-dB upper stopband extends over 11.53 GHz |
