In this paper, traditional microstrip resonator is meandered to construct a compact multi‐mode resonator (MMR). The meander resonator is very simple but convenient for ultra‐wide band (UWB) passband filter. And then, a UWB microstrip filter with six transmission poles in the passband is achieved by using only two resonators. The filter has an amplitude frequency response with a passband from 1.8 GHz to 4.7 GHz, the simulated return loss in passband is better than −20dB, and the measured one is better than −19dB. The tested insertion loss at center frequency is about 0.38 dB. Methods of adjusting the bandwidth of this new kind of UWB filter is also discussed in this paper. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
