filter. Mode separation of the proposed filter is also higher than the mode separation of the ring DR filter and modified ring DR filter along with hump free out-of-band response. So the proposed BPF have superior characteristics over the ring DR filter and modified ring DR filter. A photograph of the fabricated dielectric resonator filter is shown in Figure 5(b).
CONCLUSIONA simple method to design a compact planner DR filter was explained. The basic idea consists of using microstrip feed to excite ring DR place on the substrate. Transmission zero is realized in the single DR then a two pole filer is designed. Meanwhile, C shaped slot in the ground plane is used to realize transmission zeros in the upper stop band of the filter. Coupling can be effectively controlled by parallel lines below the DR. The proposed filter shows superior in band response along with spurious free out-of-band response. The proposed band pass filter is suitable for MIC environment. 2. S.B.
