New Dual-/Tri-Band Bandpass Filters and Diplexer With Large Frequency Ratio

To satisfy the simultaneous requirements of future wireless communication systems on short-range high-speed data transmission and long-distance basic coverage, the coexistence of the millimeter-wave and microwave technologies becomes the inexorable trend. However, it is difficult for the existing dual-/ tri-band filter configurations to achieve a frequency ratio larger than three. In this paper, t...
