Abstract
In this paper, the design and experiment of a novel substrate integrated folded waveguide (SIFW) partial H-plane bandpass filter, consisting of quarter wavelength resonators, is presented. In the proposed filter, two adjacent quarter wavelength resonators are coupled by connecting an admittance inverter and an impedance inverter alternately. Here, the admittance inverter and impedance inverter are realized by H-plane slot of open-ended evanescent waveguide and H-plane septa of short-ended evanescent waveguide, respectively. In order to validate the new proposed topology, a four-pole narrowband bandpass filter is designed and fabricated using standard printed circuit board process. The tapered line is used as transition between SIFW and microstrip-line for easy integration and measurement. The measured results are in good agreement with simulated results.
