Abstract(in English) In this paper, a microstrip ultra-wideband bandpass filter (UWB BPF) using short-circuited stubs is designed based on a theoretical transfer function and an optimal algorithm. Then the UWB BPF is folded to reduce its size and cascaded with a broadband band-stop filter (BSF) to suppress spurious resonances at high frequencies. The filter is fabricated and its measured frequency response agrees well with the design prediction, showing a midband frequency of 6.85GHz, a fractional bandwidth of about 93%, and insertion loss of 1.4dB at the center frequency. The maximum reflection loss is about 10dB and the variation of group delay is less than 0.5ns in the passband. The total structure of the filter is compact, and the FCC’s UWB spectral musk is satisfied well up over a wide frequency range up to 28GHz.
