Compact miniaturized half‐mode waveguide/high pass‐filter design based on SIW technology screens transmit‐IEEE C‐band signals

Abstract

In this article, a novel compact structure with a compact size and low insertion loss half‐mode substrate integrated waveguide/high pass‐filter dedicated for microwave signal guiding and high signal filtering that screen transmit‐IEEE C‐band signals is optimized, fabricated, and measured. The measurements results of the S parameters are compared with those provided by the commercial software CST Microwave Studio. Agreements between measurements data and the CST software results were achieved. It numerically compares how the transmission in C‐band can be successfully achieved with HMSIW. The Half‐Mode SIW Waveguide/High Pass‐Filter design size achieved is 7.5 × 35 mm2. A size reduction of about 50% in comparison with a similar SIW Waveguide/High Pass‐Filter has been achieved. The measured insertion loss is below −2 dB while the return loss is less than 10 dB. It is attractive which can be used for the radio communication system applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Miniaturized half‐mode SIW band‐pass filter design integrating dumbbell DGS cells

“…For dielectric filled waveguide DFW, the dimension “ a d ” of the waveguide is calculated by Equation and with the same cut‐off frequency of the fundamental mode TE 10, which is calculated by Equation : …”

“…However, because of its voluminous structure, it was hard to be fabricated at low cost and to be integrated into planar structures, but researchers overcame this problem, with the progress of substrate integrated waveguide SIW which is a new waveguide technology. In the meanwhile, SIW represents a mature technology that offers many benefits and is one of the potential candidate for manufacturing low cost, small sized, low loss, and easily integrated components …”

A High Pass Filter Based on Half Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Technology for Cm Waves

“…In recent years, the development of microwave components is towards minimized weight, reduced size, and increased reliability with low cost. Among the most used components in modern telecommunications systems are filters, antenna, power divider, and couplers [1,2]. Rectangular waveguide is considered an effective transmission line, and it is among the most used components in microwave systems.…”

Miniaturizing Bandpass Filter Based on Half-Mode Siw for Sub-Mm 5g Applications

“…The most widely used microwave components are rectangular waveguide, but they have large size, are very expensive, and difficult to integrate into planar structures. To solve this problem, scientists have oriented towards the study and development of a new planar structure, which is substrateintegrated waveguide (SIW) [2]. The SIW technology is used for several hyper-frequency components including terahertz antenna [3], leaky wave antenna [4], antipodal antenna [5], and wideband band-pass filter [7].…”
