Abstract: | In this letter, we report a novel microstrip interdigital hairpin resonator by having the parallel coupled lines in a conventional miniaturized hairpin resonator replaced by an interdigital capacitor. Equations are derived in order to design the resonator with an optimal physical length. It will be proved that the novel resonator can achieve even more size reduction than the conventional miniaturized hairpin resonator owing to the employment of the slow-wave structure. Finally, a four-pole cross-coupled bandpass filter using the optimal resonator is fabricated as verification |
