A novel wideband bandstop filter is proposed in this paper. Using one uniform impedance resonator and two stepped impedance resonators, five transmission zeros are introduced in the stopband. Appropriate positioning of these zeros ensures the high selectivity and flat rejection level of the stopband. The bandwidth of the filter can be conveniently controlled by the characteristic impedances of the connecting lines and resonators. A complete analytic analysis is proposed to fully control the positions of transmission zeros, and the design equations and design rules for the bandstop filter are given in detail by using the lossless transmission line model. To illustrate the concept, a wideband bandstop filter with center frequency at 2 GHz and rejection level below 20 dB is fabricated. Theoretical, simulated, and measured results are found in good agreement with each other, and the measured 20-dB rejection bandwidth is as wide as 150%.
