In this paper, a novel compact tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) with compact circuit size and high passband selectivity has been presented and implemented using multipath-embedded resonator (MER). This filter includes two multipath-embedded stepped impedance resonators (SIRs), connected with stub-coupling at the symmetric plane. By tuning admittance ratio and length ratio of the multipath-embedded resonator, it can be designed at 1.84, 2.45, 3.05 GHz. Through internal edge-coupling and extemal zero-degree feed lines, a tri-band BPF can be achieved with compact circuit size, high passband selectivity and low insertion loss. The measured results validate the full-wave EM simulated results with good agreement.
