In this paper, a new dual-band bandpass (BPF) fllter with multi-spurious suppression is proposed, which is composed of step- impedance resonators (SIR) and grounded-step-impedance resonators (GSIR). It is shown that the resonant frequencies of GSIR can be obtained similar to SIR. Then, by determining the dimensions of SIR to have a specifled resonant frequencies ratio, the dimensions of GSIR can be calculated. It is also shown that the coupling lengths between SIR and GSIR can create several transmissions zeros and can be used to suppress the unwanted higher order resonant frequencies. A third-order fllter is designed and fabricated to operate at two WLAN frequencies of 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz. The measured results show a rejection level of 24dB up to more than 17GHz (7f1). Simulation and measurement results are in good agreement with each other.
