Abstract: In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) band-pass filter (BPF) with a single narrow notched band is proposed. This filter is designed using a novel multiple-mode resonator (MMR) based on a grounded circular patch resonator (GCPR). The proposed MMR generates three main resonances and two transmission zeros (TZs). A semi-lozenge slot (SLS) is proposed to control resonant frequencies and obtain UWB operation. The 3dB notched band is achieved from 5.65-5.8 GHz by connecting an arrowhead stub inside the filter. The UWB filter has been simulated, fabricated and measured. The dimension of the designed filter is about 0.31 × 0.31 λg × λg.
