Abstract :
A novel microstrip directional filter for multiplexing applications is presented. This device uses composite right-left-handed transmission lines and resonators to achieve dual-band frequency response. In addition, by cascading two or more stages using dual frequency immitance inverters, multi-pole configurations can be obtained. Simulation and experimental results are presented with good agreement.
