This article presents a novel bandpass filter (BPF) using two proximity‐coupled dual‐behavior resonators (DBRs). The employed DBR is implemented by a single shunt stub with the compact microstrip resonator cell at its open end instead of the traditional dual stubs in cross‐shape. Due to the adoptions of the proposed DBR and proximity‐coupling scheme, both the transverse and longitudinal dimensions of the proposed BPF are reduced significantly. To verify the proposed idea, a demonstration microstrip BPF is designed and fabricated, and good agreement between the simulated and measured results can be observed, showing low loss and high selectivity due to four transmission zeroes in the stopband.
