Abstract

A miniaturized dual‐mode band‐pass filter (BPF) using Minkowski‐island‐based (MIB) fractal patch resonator is presented in this article. The BPF is mainly formed by a λ~g~/4 square patch resonator, which is a MIB fractal configuration with second order iteration is embedded in the patch. By tuning the perturbation, which resulted from the fractal patch, two resonant modes are excited and a pair of transmission zeros are generated to improve the BPF performance. The proposed filter at center frequency (f~0~) of 630 MHz has very good measured characteristics including the bandwidth of 552–708 MHz (3‐dB fractional bandwidth of 24.8%), low insertion loss of –1.38 dB and size reduction with 76.4%. The filter performance is characterized to verify the design concept. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 53:594–597, 2011; View this article at wileyonlinelibrary.com.
