A new approach to design a microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with quad sharply notched bands and good selectivity is proposed using quad parallel defected microstrip structures (PDMSs). The initial UWB BPF comprises interdigital coupled lines and an E-shaped multiple-mode resonator (EMMR) to achieve two transmission zeros on both sides of the passband thus to improve skirt selectivity. Then, four PDMSs are introduced, which have the properties of achieving four band-notched characteristics and provide high degree of adjusting freedom. To validate the design theory, a new microstrip UWB BPF with four notched bands respectively centered at 5.3, 5.9, 6.4, and 7.4 GHz is designed and fabricated. Both simulated and experimental results are provided with good agreement. The designed methodology is very efficient and useful for filter synthesis though the design principle is simple.
