Abstract :
The analysis of a simple coplanar band-reject filter based on open-ended stubs using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is presented. The influence of bond wires for grounding the side conductors of the coplanar lines is investigated. A comparison of the results obtained with accurate measurements is shown, and good agreement is obtained.<>
