Abstract

This paper presents novel designs, analysis, and performance of 4-pole and 8-pole microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) waveguide filters for operation at X and Y frequency bands. The waveguide filters have been designed and analyzed based on the RF mode matching and coupled resonators design techniques employing layered technology. Thorough waveguide filters working at X-band and Y-band have been designed, analyzed, fabricated, and also tested along with the analysis of the output characteristics. Accurate designs of RF waveguides along with their filters based on the E-plane filter concept have been carried out with the ability of fitting into the layered technology in high frequency production techniques. The filters demonstrate the appropriateness in order to develop high-performance well-established designs for systems that are intended for the multi-layer microwave, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-waves devices and systems; with the potential employment in radar, satellite, and radio astronomy applications.
