Dual-Mode Dual-Band Bandpass Filter Using Stacked-Loop Structure

Abstract
In this letter, a dual-mode dual-band bandpass filter using stacked-loop structure is proposed, which allows two transmission paths to radio frequency (RF) signals. Each of them using dual-mode resonators results in respective passband. This can provide convenience to easily change one passband frequency, while another keeps almost the same. Several attenuation poles in the stopband are realized to improve the selectivity of the proposed bandpass filter. The theoretical and measured results are presented and show good agreement
