This Letter reports a high isolation diplexer using stub-loaded resonators (SLRs). Each SLR can generate one transmission pole and one transmission zero (TZ). By changing the length of the open stub, the frequency of the TZ can be adjusted. The upper channel filter using the capacitive coupled SLRs can have TZs above the passband, while the lower channel filter using inductive coupled SLRs can have TZs below the passband. With those TZs, the isolation of the diplexer is greatly improved. A high isolation diplexer is designed and fabricated to validate the design concept.
