Abstract
This paper presents bandpass filter (BPF) comprising substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs), achieving miniaturized size, low insertion loss in the millimeter-wave band. SIW with single-slotted SSPP structure is employing to obtain the transmission zero (TZ) at the low-frequency part, and by introducing the SIW with rhombic periodic walls to enhance the low-frequency rejection. The target passband and TZ of the high-frequency part are realized by increasing the number of etching slots. Furthermore, we innovatively incorporate nonradiative (NR) slots etched below the SSPP structure to gain high out-of-band rejection level. SIW with rhombic periodic walls and slotted SSPP structure as one unit cell is analyzed and demonstrated. Ultimately, the two SIW unit cells are cascaded together to get better out-of-band rejection characteristics and serve as our final design. To validate the proposed design, the BPF prototype is fabricated and measured, showing good electrical performance in terms of high selectivity, low loss, and compact size.
