Abstract
This paper presents a novel compact microstrip low-pass filter with wide stop-band and sharp roll-off. The structure consists of a transmission line, loaded with coupled novel Hairpin units. The cut-off frequency of the proposed filter is 2.9 GHz. The measured results show good LPF performance such as sharp roll-off skirt, low insertion-loss, high return-loss in the pass-band and wide upper stop-band of 3.2 to 16.1 GHz with an insertion-loss higher than 20.0 dB. The measured values and the EM-simulation results are in good agreement.
