Planar resonant structures made of curved coupled microstrip and slot lines and their application for microwave filtering are presented. The prominent feature of the proposed resonators is their wide bandwidth. It is demonstrated that such resonators are useful for microwave band‐reject and low‐pass filtering applications. The proposed structures were compared with split‐ring resonators (SRRs) and complementary split‐ring resonators (CSRRs). The size of the filters made with the proposed resonators was similar to those made with SRR and CSRR; however, their bandwidths were larger. Prototypes were fabricated and tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
