A general procedure is described to design a sharp-rejection wideband bandstop filter by using interference of the signals propagating through two parallel transmission line segments having different electrical lengths and characteristic impedances. Bandwidth and rejection level of the filters can be controlled by changing the impedances of the lines. A simple transmission line model is used for filter analysis. Design graphs are presented. Theoretical prediction is verified by fabricating two filters in microstrip technology. Good agreements is obtained among theoretical prediction, full-wave simulation and measurements.
