The transmission characteristic of the microstrip with complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) is researched. Compared with the conventional structure, this filter can achieve a wider bandgap by shifting the gap of CSRR from the side of the microstrip to the underside. And then, a lower transmission zero can be realized by loading a pair of narrow slots in the gap of the ring. The equivalent circuit model of the structure is provided. By cascading CSRR cells with different transmission zeros, a ultra‐wide bandgap low‐pass filter (LPF), which has a cutoff frequency at 4.3 GHz is designed. The designed LPF has a high performance with an insertion loss lower than 0.3 dB in pass band, a high out‐band suppression more than 20 dB (4.55–25 GHz), and a very sharp transition band about 0.25 GHz (4.3–4.55 GHz). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
