Abstract

A simple method for designing a triple-mode bandpass filter is presented in this paper. Triple-mode is achieved by using half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) cavity.Three perturbation metal vias were introduced for shifting resonant modes.The resonant frequencies of these modes can be adjusted by the location and the diameter of perturbation vias properly. In order to improve the out-of-band rejection, the CPW-to-SIW transition was added. A triple-mode HMSIW filter with the center frequency of 13 GHz was designed and fabricated. The measured fractional bandwidth is 35% with a transmission zero located at 20.4 GHz. Good agreement is observed between simulation and measurement.
