In this paper, a new quadruple-mode stepped-impedance square ring loaded resonator (SI-SRLR) is proposed, and a high-performance dual-band differential bandpass filter (BPF) is developed. Resonant characteristics of the SI-SRLR are investigated by the even-/odd-mode method and simulation techniques. Two differential-modes (DMs) of the SI-SRLR are used to form the dual differential passbands. The admittance ratio K of the SI-SRLR is chosen appropriately to prevent the common-mode (CM) interference with DM operations. Moreover, an open-circuited stub is added to enhance the CM suppression, while a source-load coupling is introduced to produce multiple transmission zeros and improve significantly the frequency selectivity of DM passbands. Finally, a dual-band differential BPF is designed, fabricated, and measured. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results verifies well the proposed structure and design method.
