This paper presents a novel class of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters, based on periodic perforations of the dielectric layer. The perforations allow to reduce the local effective dielectric permittivity, thus creating waveguide sections below cutoff. This effect is exploited to implement immittance inverters through analytical formulas, providing simple design rules for the direct synthesis of the filters. The proposed solution is demonstrated through the design and testing of several filters with different topologies (including half-mode SIW and folded structures). The comparison with classical iris-type SIW filters demonstrates that the proposed filters exhibit better performance in terms of sensitivity to fabrication inaccuracies and rejection bandwidth, at the cost of a slightly larger size.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel class of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters, based on periodic perforations of the dielectric layer. The perforations allow to reduce the local effective dielectric permittivity, thus creating waveguide sections below cutoff. This effect is exploited to implement immittance inverters through analytical formulas, providing simple design rules for the direct synthesis of the filters. The proposed solution is demonstrated through the design and testing of several filters with different topologies (including half-mode SIW and folded structures). The comparison with classical iris-type SIW filters demonstrates that the proposed filters exhibit better performance in terms of sensitivity to fabrication inaccuracies and rejection bandwidth, at the cost of a slightly larger size.
