In this paper, we introduce the design and the achievement of a Bandpass filter structure based on the use of rectangular slot cell. The originality of this work is to achieve a coplanar filter easy to integrate with microwave planar circuits and having a wide frequency bandwidth. The proposed bandpass filter is a low cost and compact planar filter structure. The final circuit is simulated by using two electromagnetic solvers, ADS and HFSS. The validation into simulation is based on using optimization methods integrated into the both solvers. Simulations have taken into account a high meshing density to cover the whole circuit. The fabricated bandpass filter has an area of 35X31mm2 and having a good insertion loss around -0.75dB in the bandwidth. The comparison between simulation and measurement results presents a good agreement.
