Abstract
A compact dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) incorporating a transversal filtering section based on parallel coupled lines is designed to achieve high selectivity and precise RF performance. The proposed filter employs a novel topology combining shunt- and series-connected coupled lines, generating seven transmission poles and four transmission zeros to effectively suppress undesired frequency bands. The DBBSF is implemented on two substrates, Rogers AD250C, and Teslin SP1400, using the Ansys HFSS full-wave simulator. For the first time, the Teslin-based filter is laminated to enhance durability. The filter measurements with and without lamination are performed to evaluate the effects of parameters, including insertion loss, return loss, centre frequencies, and fractional bandwidth. Measured stopband frequencies are centred at approximately 1.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz, with fractional bandwidths of 29.5 % and 14.5 %, respectively. The measured parameters provide considerable insights into the design of laminated RF components, enabling optimized performance for wireless communication systems and related measurement applications.
