## Abstract In this article, a novel method to improve the rejection of edge coupled filters by perturbing the coupled line sections by a length, δ, is introduced. This gives controls over the null position between the fundamental and 1st harmonic of the filter which results in a steeper rejection

Abstract
A novel parallel‐coupled bandpass filter (PC‐BPF) with a fundamental frequency of 2.4 GHz is presented in this paper. This proposed filter achieves a broad rejection bandwidth and a sufficient attenuation level by using the distributed interdigital fingers to attenuate the spurious even harmonics of 2f~0~ and 4f~0~, and employing a defected ground structure (DGS) resonator to suppress the 3f~0~ spurious response. The measured results show a satisfactory rejection bandwidth of 8.6 GHz with a rejection level of −30 dB at 2f~0~. The improved performance will be very attractive for application in many communication systems. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel parallel‐coupled microstrip bandpass filter with a wide stopband. The proposed bandpass filter with spur lines provides a deep and wide stopband because spur lines can provide deep stopband characteristics in some frequency bands. Also, the experimental
