The structures presented implement diferent transfer functions of order three in multilayered microstrip technology. In order to allow for easy implementation of the required coupling, multilayered broadside configurations are proposed. We demonstrate that with the proposed configurations, both dualband and quasi-elliptic responses can be easily synthesized, by only changing the sign of certain entries in the coupling matrix. To easily adjust the sign of the coupling, novel resonators are proposed, including simple half-wavelength transmission line resonators, meander line resonators and shortcircuited resonators. Experimental validations for both prototypes are presented, demonstrating the validity and usefulness of the proposed con gurations. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Filtros de paso de banda %K Topología transversal %K Tecnología microstrip %K Filtros transversales %K Transversal topology %K Microstrip technology %K Bandpass filters %K Transversal filters %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
