IEEE MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS COMPONENTS LETTERS, VOL. 19, NO. 1, JANUARY 2009 27 Compact UWB Bandpass Filter With Improved Upper-Stopband Performance Binyan Yao, Yonggang Zhou, Qunsheng Cao, and Yinchao Chen, Member, IEEE Abstract— In this letter, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) band- pass filter with compact size and improved upper-stopband per- formance has been studied and implemented using multiple-mode resonator (MMR). The MMR is formed by
