A pair of coupled stepped-impedance resonators and its use to build single- and dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) is presented. To that end, two symmetrical stepped-impedance resonators with two embedded coupled-line sections are used. The adopted resonators are coupled at the two open-ended edges. Th...
