Abstract

In this paper, we provide a new third-order bandstop filter (BSF) topology with attenuation control capability. The proposed BSF topology contains inter-resonator coupling structures and it can duplicate the frequency responses of the conventional BSF topology, which does not have inter-resonator couplings. In addition, the proposed topology can control the attenuation level by adjusting the resonant frequency of each resonator, and this characteristic cannot be obtained from the conventional one. Two BSFs utilizing the conventional and proposed topologies are designed, fabricated, and measured to support the presented theory. Two filters have been designed and fabricated employing frequency tunable substrate integrated cavity resonators. The measurement verifies that the BSF utilizing the presented topology is capable of adjusting the attenuation level as well as reproducing the conventional bandstop responses.
