Design and analysis of a structure-based microstrip bandpass filter

A structure-based microstrip passband filter with the center frequency of 2.6 GHz was put forward by using double-mode resonator based on defected ground structure (DGS) technology. A double-mode coupling resonator combined with DGS structure was used to achieve the resonance frequency and the filter size. CST microwave studio was used to optimize the attenuation performance to get the filter parameters. A structure-based passband filter was fabricated. Simulation is consistent with the measurement. Performance shows that the proposed filter could be suitable for the time division-long term devolution (TD-LTE) microwave systems at 2.6 GHz.
