Abstract
This paper presents a novel quarter-mode packaged bandpass filter with four transmission zeros (TZs) in substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. The filter has an insertion loss of 2.85 dB at 30 GHz and fractional bandwidth of 20%. The design methodology of the TZs was first demonstrated to increase the attenuations of the filter stopband. The quarter-mode SIW resonators were analyzed with high-mode suppression by properly setting their feed points. The packaged filter was consistent between the simulation and measurement results and offers the advantages of compact configuration and easy integration with other devices. Mode suppressions of up to 110 GHz were also provided. The proposed concept is attractive for designing miniaturized and high-performance-packaged filters for 3-D millimeter-wave transceiver systems.
