Abstract

In this research, quad-band bandpass filter (BPF) 
which operated at frequencies of 0.9 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 
and  2.6 GHz will be designed, fabricated, and evaluated. Design 
of quad-band BPF is done based on shunt resonator that 
connected in cascade connection. In filter design, three 
independent transmissions zero was generated to provide four 
resonance frequencies by simply connect shunt resonator in 
series with capacitor or inductor. Transmission zero is also 
generated to enhance rejection area between each passband and 
to adjust resonance frequency. Quad-band BPF is design using 
ADS software and then fabricated in FR-4 substrate. 
Simulation results show that S11 = -59.12, -25.80, -33.25, -33.84 
dB, S21 less than 0 dB, bandwidth 122, 94, 92, 87 MHz and 
VSWR is 1.002, 1.108, 1.044, and 1.041 for resonance frequency 
at center frequencies of 950 MHz, 1.85 GHz, 2.35 GHz, and 2.65 
GHz, respectively. The frequency center of the fabricated 
quadband BPF shifted to 776 MHz, 1.526 GHz, 2.435 GHz, and 
2.787 GHz. The return loss and VSWR of the fabricated 
quadband BPF are satisfied to the design specifications.
