By introducing a cross-coupling capacitance directly between the input and output ports of the second-order filter, a pair of transmission zeros may be created to improve the selectivity. Moreover, by an extension of the proposed second-order filter with the incorporation of an additional cross-coupling capacitance, a fourth-order filter is also proposed in which two pairs of transmission zeros may be created to improve both the selectivity and stopband rejection. The proposed fourth-order filter also has the merits of small circuit area and no spurious response up to 3 0, where 0 is the passband center frequency. To provide effective design tools, simple equivalent-circuit models are also established.application/pdf479655 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TWBandpass filtercross-couplingmicrostripquarter-wavelength resonatorsjournal articlehttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/200611150121349/1/1773.pdf
