## Abstract The modified configurations of maximally flat parallel‐coupled lines (MF‐PCL) structure are introduced to improve the performance of the conventional MF‐PCL resonator. To obtain a higher rejection (−39 dB), symmetry response, wider band (BW about 32%), and less insertion loss (−0.4 dB)

Abstract
A miniaturization method for coupled‐line filters is demonstrated that relies on the equality of the two most important parameters for filter synthesis, the propagation constant and the image impedance, before and after miniaturization.The method enables to maintain the bandwidth intact as opposed to the previous miniaturization method based on the same structure. This proves that bandwidth reduction in miniaturized filters is not due to miniaturization itself but rather due to the mathematical formulation of miniaturization. As compensation of reduced bandwidth is not necessary, the proposed method provides much simpler miniaturization procedure. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This paper discusses various changes made in classical coupled‐line narrow bandpass filters to somehow improve frequency response. First, the resonator's strip width was broadened to improve the lines' unloaded __Q__ factor. Second, the in/out coupled‐line sections were replaced by tapp
## Abstract A new design of a wideband bandpass filter is proposed, based on coupled‐line sections and quasi‐lumped element resonator, taking advantage of the last one to introduce two transmission zeros and suppress a spurious response. The proposed filter demonstrates significantly improved chara
## Abstract In this article, a miniaturized parallel‐coupled microstrip filter is presented. The miniaturized design saves 80% circuit dimension compared to the conventional parallel‐coupled over‐coupled end stages filter with the symmetrical tapped‐line structure. Several design methods and miniat
## Abstract This article proposes a method of double cross‐coupling lines to produce the transmission zeros independently in the both close‐to‐band rejections of HTS filter, and that their positions are controllable. An eight‐pole HTS filter is simulated to present the feasibility of this method. A
