Circuit Modeling of Spurline and Its Applications to Microstrip Bandstop Filters

Simple bandstop filters (BSF) are introduced in this article. The filters consist of one spurline and a pair of cross-junction open stubs. This spurline exhibits bandstop characteristics at a resonant frequency, which can be explained and modeled by on...
Bandstop filters (BSF) play an important role in rejecting higher harmonics and spurious responses for microwave and millimeter-wave applications. The conventional method to implement bandstop filters involves the use of shunt stubs or stepped-impedance microstrip lines with large circuit size. 1 To reduce the filter area, certain slow-wave structures,...
