In this paper, multi-band bandstop filters (BSFs) based on mixed electric and magnetic coupling resonators are proposed. These proposed structures include a multimode resonator based on symmetrical open-circuit branches, including upper- and lower-branch filter circuits. Through this design, the center frequencies of the stopbands can be flexibly and autonomously adjusted. In addition, the filters proposed in this paper have excellent characteristics, such as miniature dimensions and abrupt roll-off skirts. Finally, these tri-band to sext-band bandstop filters were fabricated and the measured results agreed well with the simulated ones. The proposed structures can be applied in the fields of communication, information, and coal automation.
