Abstract :
The proposed diplexer is composed of complementary bandpass filter and bandstop filter in parallel connection. In the presented 3D physical structure, lumped multilayer inductor and Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor are used to realize the circuit elements. The final structure is verified by 3D Electromagnetic (EM) simulator and good agreement is found between simulation and measurement. The size of the fabricated diplexer is 4.3mm×3.2mm×2.6mm.
