Novel MCTSRR structure for wide stopband response in a microstrip transmission line

A wideband high rejection bandstop response in a microstrip transmission line is presented. Novel mirrored complementary triangular split ring resonator (MCTSRR) is proposed for wideband performance. The wide stopband characteristics are demonstrated by loading a microstrip transmission line with the MCTSRR. The effect of gaps in the MCTSRR and the number of unit cells are optimized to create the required bandstop characteristics. The proposed configuration provides a stopband over a frequency band of 1.4 GHz to 2.7 GHz. Measured results are compared with the full wave simulation results and presented.
