We propose wideband bandpass filters based on multipole resonances of spoof localized surface plasmons (SLSPs). The resonance characteristics and geometric tunability of SLSPs are investigated under microstrip excitations. Strong coupling with interlayer microstrip lines is proposed to join discrete multipole resonances into a continuous and flat passband. The SLSP filters exhibit wide passbands in compact sizes and well-balanced shapes, while holding satisfactory spurious rejection bands, group delays, and geometric tunability. This work exposes the SLSPs application potential in filters as novel resonators.
