In this letter, a compact microstrip low-pass filter (LPF) using T-shaped resonator with wide stopband is presented. The proposed LPF has capability to remove the eighth harmonic and a low insertion loss of 0.12 dB. The bandstop structure using stepped impendence resonator and two open-circuit stubs are used to design a wide stopband with attenuation level better than −20 dB from 3.08 up to 22 GHz. The proposed filter with −3-dB cutoff frequency of 2.68 GHz has been designed, fabricated, and measured. The operating of the LPF is investigated based on equivalent circuit model. Simulation results are verified by measurement results and excellent agreement between them is observed.
