In a partially coupled-line bandpass filter (BPF), a combination of two microstrip line resonators which are partially coupled, are considered, where one resonator is half-wavelength (λ/2)-long, and another whose one end is grounded, is only quarter-wavelength (λ/4)-long. Therefore, the length of a coupled-line section can be varied based on the position of the grounding end, and five conditions of the movable coupling length have been simulated which will greatly influence the spurious responses of a BPF. This property is numerically investigated in this paper. The analysis shows that, based on the grounding position, this method is capable of realizing the improved out-of-band characteristics by locating the multiple attenuation poles in the stopband and improved spurious responses up to five times of the center frequency (5ƒ_0). A few empirical models of BPF are fabricated, and the numerical results are ensured by comparing with the experimental results.
