Abstract

In this paper, a microstrip parallel‐coupled bandpass filter based on electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures to achieve spurious suppression is presented. The EBG loops of the middle layer add an extra stopband‐rejection mode to the 2^nd^ and 3^rd^ harmonics of the filter with attenuation losses of over than −30 dB, without affecting the center frequency and insertion loss of the originally designed filter. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
