The proposed filter structure is composed of octagonal microstrip resonators, backed by Quasi-Yagi slots ‘Quasi-Yagi Defected Ground Structure’ (Quasi-Yagi-DGS). By controlling the electrical coupling between the octagonal–strip and the Quasi-Yagi-DGS, the bandpass filter’s stopband is optimized for better rejection. The proposed BPF has low insertion loss and compact size because of the slow-wave effect. Meanwhile, sharp rejection bands induced by the presence of two transmission zeros. The simulated center frequency and passband insertion loss are 2.4 GHz and 0.6 dB, respectively.]]>
