ABSTRACT:
Provided is a reflection-type bandpass filter for ultra-wideband wireless data communication. The filter includes a substrate including a dielectric layer and a conducting layer layered on the top and bottom surfaces thereof, and a center conductor provided within the dielectric layer and serving as a strip line. A width distribution of the center conductor is non-uniform in a length direction of the center conductor.
