This paper presents the wideband bandpass filter (BPF) in the microwave frequency domain. The realisation approach is based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) phenomenon using plasmonic metamaterial. A novel unit cell is designed for filter design using an LC resonator concept. Then SSPPs BPF is realised using an optimised mode converter and five unit cells. This paper includes a brief design detail of the proposed novel unit cell. The passband of BPF is achieved at approximately 1.20 - 5.80 GHz, 3dB bandwidth is tentatively 4.60 GHz and the insertion loss is less than 2 dB approximately over the passband. The overall dimension of fabricated filter is (90 x 45) mm. A basic schematic of transmission line representation is also proposed to evaluate the BPF structure.
