<abstract>In this paper, a microwave bandstop filter is designed and fabricated. To design a bandstop filter, the standard transmission line approach is used and the bandstop filter is implemented by using a newly designed microstrip resonators. Layout of the filters is obtained by proper coupling of resonators with transmission line. The physical dimensions of the proposed bandstop filter are found by solving mathematical formulation for prototype filtering function. The proposed layout of filter is designed and simulated in Ansoft HFSS software. FR-4 Epoxy is used as dielectric material with substrate thickness of 1.6 mm. The filter response of HFSS simulator is found in good agreement with the response found from fabricated model.</abstract>
