Abstract: This paper presents a novel lowpass-bandpass multiplexer consisting of one lowpass channel and four bandpass channels. Dumb-bell defected ground structures and stepped impedance resonators are employed to extend the stopband of the lowpass filter and bandpass filters, respectively. Stepped impedance stubs are used to bring a sharp selectivity in the lowpass channel design. Good isolation between channels is obtained by careful design of the input signal splitting structure, which is realized by utilizing four shunt open stubs with electric length of quarter-wavelength at the center frequency of the four bandpass channels, respectively. To verify the above concept, a lowpass-bandpass quintuplexer is designed, fabricated, and measured. The cut-off frequency of the lowpass filter is selected to be 1 GHz. The central passband frequencies are chosen to be 2.4, 3.5, 4.6, 5.8 GHz. Experimental measurements are in good agreement with simulations.
