Design of a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) Filter Using a Novel Topology of Coupling
Résumé
We report on a new topology of coupling between substrate integrated circular cavities designed to produce particular filtering functions through combination with the classical iris-based coupling. This coupling is achieved by a grounded coplanar line etched at the top of cavities. This topology was used to realize a Ku-Band third-order filter, whose synthesis, electromagnetic simulation with HFSS, and experimental performances are presented here.
