Abstract

In this paper a new structure based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), called incorporated substrate integrated waveguide (ISIW), has been used to implement the dielectric loaded waveguide filter in planar structure. Conventional waveguide filter and dielectric loaded waveguide filter have been realized with SIW and ISIW technique, respectively. The use of ISIW structure has reduced the size of the filter, required precision in designing process and the cost of manufacturing process, at the cost of increasing the losses. Thus, while the size of filter and the cost of manufacturing process reduce significantly, there is no need to build the particular dielectric material as resonator and integration with other microstrip devices will be much easier too. Two different excitation mechanism have been considered to cancel the spurious response in the desired frequency band. The SIW and ISIW filters have been fabricated and fairly compared with waveguide filters. Advantages and disadvantages of ISIW structure have been scrutinized in detail. Good agreement between the simulated and measured frequency response of proposed filters has been shown.
