            Abstract : 
A novel and compact dual-band filter using a microstrip/coplanar waveguide (CPW) composite structure is proposed. At the bottom of the substrate material, two CPW open-circuited resonators are broadside-coupled to the top microstrip open-circuited stubs. The proposed filter was designed, fabricated and measured. The obtained frequency responses demonstrated that the filter has good dual-band property.
