Abstract

A novel fourth-order half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) filter with dual-mode microstrip resonator is presented. The dual-mode resonator is etched on the top metal layer of HMSIW cavity, so the size can be reduced greatly. The filter has compact size and wide stopband in comparison with conventional SIW filters. Microstrip resonators and cavity resonators are integrated in one filter to achieve the goal of smaller size and better performance. Two filter samples are designed and fabricated, with good agreement between the measured and the simulated S-parameters.
