To realize an ultra wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) in wireless communications, a device is developed using new ring filter. The compact, with low insertion loss, sharp rejection and constant group delay within the UWB pass band. made to control attenuation pole frequency by adjusting both stub impedance. A center bandwidth of 5-stage BPF are designed based on transmission line model. circuit conditions two poles at either side passband given together controlling them.
