A new semi‐fractal technique is applied to hairpin microstrip lowpass filters to realise compact size and sharp roll‐off. To achieve wide stopband suppression, both a semi‐fractal hairpin resonator and a U‐shaped resonator are employed in the filter. A demonstration filter with 3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.51 GHz has been designed, fabricated and measured. The results show that a roll‐off of 217.6 dB/GHz with a relative stopband bandwidth of 159.7% (referred to a suppression degree of 32 dB) can be obtained while achieving a high figure‐of‐merit of 44 832.
