Summary: 
Novel dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with quasi-elliptic function response by using the meander coupled step-impedance resonators (SIRs) is presented. By tuning the appropriate impedance ratio (K) and physical length of SIRs, the BPF has good dual-band performance at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz with high selectivity, due to the transmission zeros appeared in two passband edges. Measured results of the proposed BPF have a good agreement with the electromagnetic (EM) simulated results.
