“…Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology has widely applied in bandpass filter (BPF) designs for its easy-integration, low-cost and high-quality factor [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Especially SIW has been attractive to design multiband BPFs [7,8,9,10,11]. In general, the design method is combining several single-band BPFs at different frequencies to form the multi-band response [12,13,14], or cascading bandstop structures to divide a wide passband into multiple passbands [15,16].…”
