Abstract

UHF microstrip band-pass filters (BPFs) that much smaller than the referred BPFs are proposed in this communication. For the designing purpose of compactness, archimedes spiral capacitor and ground-loaded stubs are utilized to enhance capacitances and inductance of a filter. Two compact BPFs denoted as BPF 1 and BPF 2 are designed by applying these techniques. The size of BPF 1 and BPF 2 are 0.062 λg × 0.056 λg and 0.047 λg × 0.043 λg, respectively, where λg are guided wavelengths of the centre frequencies of the corresponding filters. The proposed filters were constructed and measured, and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
