Band pass filter size reduction by implementing substrate integrated waveguide technique

Abstract

Pass Band Filter with precise selectivity is one of the major requirements of MMIC circuits. The major challenge while designing is size. This paper presents a size reduction technique for the Pass Band Filter by implementing SIW (Substrate Integrated Waveguide). The simulated results for the based filter show size reduction as resonance is shifting at the lower side of the frequency range. The passband filter without SIW is having resonance at 8.4GHz with return loss -26dB. After Implementing SIW results show resonance frequency at 7.2 GHz with a return loss of -23.86 dB without affecting the selectivity of the pass band filter. For Design Simulation, Ansys HFSS is used.
