Abstract

We present results for a compact, multiple gap and multiple pass band microstrip resonator filter. The microstrip resonator filter, consisting of a sandwich substrate with a metallic fractal pattern, shows multiple gaps from 40 MHz to 10 GHz. The transmission characteristics of the microstrip resonator filter show multiple pass bands and stop bands for electromagnetic waves over the microwave frequency range. Experimental observations are in good agreement with the results of finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. These properties can be useful in the application in compact microwave circuits, microwave filters, and microwave switches.
