This paper presents the design of compact second-order bandpass filters based on dual-mode open-loop resonator. A filter design procedure is provided to facilitate the design process. The paper also describes the nature of the inherent transmission zero associated with the structure and presents a method of generating two additional zeros for improving stop-band performance. Finally, a filter design example is presented to validate the argument.
