An ultra-selective filter for third-generation (3G) and fourth-generation wireless application is presented. The demonstrated filter consists of 22 resonators and five cross couplings that produce ten transmission zeros. The filter was designed at 1950-MHz center frequency with a 20-MHz bandwidth to meet existing 3G wireless applications. The measured filter data shows excellent selectivity, better than 30-dB/100-kHz skirt slopes, and 90 dB of rejection at 350 kHz from the band edge. This filter performance surpasses the performance of a 50-pole Chebyshev filter. In order to fit a large number of resonators into a limited wafer area, a new compact resonator was developed. The filter was fabricated using a YBCO thin film on a 2-in MgO wafer.
