A new compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with triple sharply notched bands and good stopband performance has been studied and implemented using a triple-mode stepped impedance resonator (TMSIR). The proposed TMSIR is found to have the advantages of introducing triple-notched bands and providing a higher degree of freedom to adjust the resonant frequencies. To validate the design theory, a new microstrip UWB BPF with three notched bands respectively centered at 5.2 GHz, 6.8 GHz, and 9.2 GHz is designed and fabricated. The simulated and experimental results are provided with good agreement.
