In this letter, a novel transmission line configuration has been proposed to design a sharp-rejection, bandstop filter (BSF) with wide rejection bandwidth. The rejection bandwidth and the level of rejection are controlled by the characteristic impedances of the transmission lines. Design equations are obtained by using a lossless transmission line model. The proposed design has been verified in microstrip line by fabricating a prototype BSF of -20 dB fractional bandwidth of 100% at a stopband center frequency f0= 1.5 GHz. The filter structure is simple and easy to fabricate.
