A new design method of the dual‐band balanced bandpass filter (BPF) using multilayer packaging dual‐mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavities is proposed. Split‐type coupling topology based on dual‐mode resonators is developed for the design. Firstly, a single‐band balanced filter with perturbed metal vias is designed. The TE201 mode and the TE202 mode perturbed by the metal vias can form a passband. Secondly, an additional metal vias perturbed SIW cavity with the same dual‐mode is placed in the lower layer for the bandstop function. A dual‐band balanced BPF with split‐type coupling topology is successfully realised. Compared with the traditional cascaded single‐mode form, the proposed dual‐mode split‐type design has more compact size and can be more easily extended to multi‐passbands. To verify the proposed method, a dual‐band balanced filter operating at 13.3 and 14.2 GHz is designed, fabricated and measured. The designed dual‐band balanced filter has good filtering performance including differential mode passband transmission and common mode rejection. Measured results show good agreements with simulated ones.
