1. A meandered-line bandpass filter comprising:
- a parallel coupled line bandpass filter comprising;
a length and one or more corners, each of the corners being associated with a reactance that affects propagation of an electromagnetic wave alone the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter; and
a fractal curve along the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter.

Abstract
A meandered-line bandpass filter includes a parallel coupled line bandpass filter that has a length and one or more corners. Each of the corners is associated with a reactance that affects the propagation of an electromagnetic wave along the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter.

25. A meandered-line bandpass filter comprising:
a parallel coupled line bandpass filter that comprises a length and a fractal curve along the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter, the fractal curve comprising a third iteration of a modified Koch curve, the modified Koch curve comprising five segments and four inside angles, each of the inside angles being associated with a reactance that affects propagation of an electromagnetic wave along the length of the parallel coupled line bandpass filter.
