In this paper a double coupled line band reject/band pass filtering structure is proposed. The proposed circuit is analyzed by the coupled-line matrix method. The over-all two-port scattering-parameters derived from these matrices can be used to understand the electric characteristics of the proposed structures and as a guideline for circuit designs. A one band reject and one band pass filtering circuit are designed to verify the theory. The central frequency is 0.915 GHz for the use of UHF band RFID applications. The measurement results show a very good agreement with the simulation results. |
