This article presents a dual-band bandpass filter composed of /2 and /4 stepped impedance resonators for the wireless local area network applications. The filter covers both the operating frequencies of 2.45 GHz and 5.2-5.8 GHz. The doubly parallel-coupling mechanism is used in the filter design to reduce the insertion losses and to gain a wider bandwidth. The cross coupling configuration and the tapped-line I/O feed are adopted in this filter design to provide the attenuation poles for improving the signal selectivity and stopband rejection levels. Experiments were conducted to verify the circuit performance.
