description A microstrip low-pass filter (LPF) using reformative stepped impedance resonator (SIR) and defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed in this paper. The proposed filter not only possesses the advantage of high frequency selectivity of SIR hairpin LPF with internal coupling, but also possesses the large stop-band (SB) bandwidth by adjusting the number and area of DGS units. The LPF proposed in this paper possesses the properties of miniaturization, wide SB, high selectivity, and low pass-band ripple (PBR) simultaneously. The characteristic parameters of the proposed LPF is that: the pass-band (PB) is 0~2 GHz, the PBR is 0.5 dB, the SB range is from 2.4 GHz to 9 GHz when the attenuation is under 20 dB, and the maximal attenuation could reach 45 dB in the SB. The size of this proposed LPF is 0.13<inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mi>&#955;</mi> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mo>&#215;</mo> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> 0.09<inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mi>&#955;</mi> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula>; <inline-formula> <math display="inline"> <semantics> <mi>&#955;</mi> </semantics> </math> </inline-formula> is the corresponding wavelength of the upper PB edge frequency of 2 GHz.
