Abstract

In this paper, a compact waveguide bandpass filter is proposed. The proposed structure consists of some inductive diaphragms in a rectangular waveguide and the regions between them have been filled fully by dielectrics. The relations between the physical and electrical parameters of the existed asymmetrical impedance invertors are obtained. The usefulness of the proposed structure and its performance are verified by designing and simulating an equal-ripple X-band bandpass filter.
