    Novel SIW based interdigital bandpass filter with harmonic suppression
    (IEEE, 2014) Kurudere, S.; Ertürk, Vakur B.
    A novel configuration for substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based bandpass filter with interdigital type resonators is presented. In the proposed structure, interdigital type resonators consisting of vias and circular caps at top of them are combined into a bowtie SIW structure. SIW is fed by a tapered microstrip line transition providing low loss and good matching. In order to improve harmonic suppression performance of the filter, the dumbbell shaped defected ground structure (DGS) is etched to the ground side of the microstrip line feeding section. The proposed filter structure is put in a conducting box in order to improve attenuation levels at the band edges and prevent radiation to the outside. The prototype is designed at 9 GHz center frequency with 500 MHz bandwidth, analyzed and fabricated for verification. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulations, and the filter exhibits more than 30 dB harmonic suppression.

    SIW‐based interdigital bandpass filter with harmonic suppression
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Kurudere, S.; Ertürk, V. B.
    A novel configuration of interdigital bandpass filter based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is proposed. In addition to the interdigital resonators in SIW that determine the main response/characteristics of the filter, narrowing the width of the SIW at the center of the filter and additional vias at its input and output parts act as two additional control mechanisms to achieve the desired filter response. Moreover, dumbbells are etched to the ground side of the microstrip feeding sections at both ends of the filter to improve its harmonic suppression. A prototype filter is designed and fabricated for verification. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulations, and the filter exhibits very good harmonic suppression. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
