The subwavelength grating microring resonator based filter shows great promise in optical sensing and communication. However, it spectrum nature makes it unsuitable for tracking or extracting a single wavelength from a broadband light source. In this paper, we used side-mode suppression, based on an angular grating- subwavelength microring resonator which offer high flexibility in wavelength design within the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide. By periodically arranging silicon waveguide pieces in three different widths, we can set the effective index along the inner sidewall of subwavelength microring resonator. thereby can achieve the precise wavelength selection. We examine the effects of various key parameters on the center wavelength, side-mode suppressed ratio, and quality factor of this filter.The proposed structure's isalso analysed for coupling strength between the bus and subwavelength grating ring resonator. The wavelength selection, compact size, compatibility with other similar nature waveguide-based devices and design flexibility highlight its significant potential in compact optical sensing and optical communication
