Abstract

This paper presents a compact stopband filters and bandpass filters using microstrip transmission lines coupled with two parallel sides of square split ring resonators (SRRs) and metallic vias holes. SRRs etched on the upper plane of microstrip line to provide negative value of effective permeability (μ < 0) to the medium in a narrow band above their resonance frequency. Narrow bandpass filter with more drastic size reduction can be obtained by using metallic via holes to get negative effective permittivity (ε < 0) with negative effective permeability (μ < 0) which is generated by using SRRs. Backward wave propagation is achieved as a LHM when SRRs and via holes are applied together. These metamaterial components (SRRs and metallic via holes) are useful for compact narrow stopband and narrow bandpass filters applications at 3GHz resonance frequency. The process of adding many numbers of SRRs and taking many widths of strip conductor (W) with gap variations between resonators and strip line are studied and simulated. The length (l) of the structures can be as small as 0.3 times the signal wavelength at resonance frequency.
