Abstract
In this paper, two novel dual-band bandpass filters (BPFs) and a compact quad-channel diplexer working at 1.7/3.3 GHz and 1.9/3.6 GHz are proposed. In the proposed diplexer design, triangular loop resonators and rectangular loop resonators are used together to reduce the circuit size and improve diplexer performances. Insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) of the proposed diplexer are better than 0.8 dB and 21 dB, respectively, at these four operating frequencies. Output ports isolation parameter is better than 30 dB. With the achieved specifications, the proposed diplexer can be used in L and S band applications.
