ABSTRACT:
A meandered-line bandpass filter includes a parallel coupled line bandpass filter that has a length and one or more corners. Each of the corners is associated with a reactance that affects the propagation of an electromagnetic wave along the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter.
