A microwave bandpass filter has a planar configuration formed in microstrip or stripline where a circuit is printed onto a substrate. The filter has at least two patch resonators with a T-shaped coupling path extending between the two resonators. In a further embodiment of the invention, one or more resonators is isolated from other resonators in the filter by being located in a compartmentalized housing or separate housings to eliminate undesirable coupling between a resonator in one compartment and a resonator in another compartment. The filter of the present invention has improved performance characteristics over previous patch resonator filters.
