“…Moreover, integrated ceramic waveguide filters, with nonuniform width resonators based on a monolithic ceramic structures, have been proposed in [43] and [44], respectively, in order to have a wide spurious-free bandwidth. Additionally, a recent contribution can be found in [45] discussing the design of a filter based on a waveguide loaded with dielectrics of different width, in order to obtain a wide spurious-free frequency range.…”

This paper describes the design procedure of a compact wideband waveguide filter, based on stepped impedance resonators (SIR) and a combined usage of capacitive and inductive coupling irises, that provides a significant improvement in the out-of-band response of the filter with respect to the state-ofthe-art. In addition to theory, several filter prototypes have been designed and manufactured. A detailed sensitivity analysis has been also carried out. Finally, simulations and measurements are compared, showing very good agreement, thereby fully validating the new filter topology. Index Terms-Aggressive space mapping, band-pass filters, hybrid (inductive and capacitive) irises, stepped impedance resonator and wideband.

“…It is evident that the proposed filter provides spurious free performance up to 1.83 * F o . The authors have also proposed the idea of a ceramic TEM filter with variable post heights in [19], where difference in post heights further spread the higher order resonances which contribute to better overall stopband attenuation.…”

This work proposes new filter design techniques to improve the out of band spurious performance of integrated ceramic waveguide filters and ceramic loaded filters. Various resonators of different types like non-uniform width, TEM and half ridge were used. The proposed filter designs offer a considerable miniaturization and significantly improved spurious performance up to 85% without compromising the figure of merits of the filters like Q-factor, return loss, etc. Two sixth order filters with best in-band and out-band performance have been fabricated. Measured results of the fabricated filters are in good agreement with the computer simulations, which confirm the validity and accuracy of designs.

“…The mixed approach by employing different techniques together is also used to enhance the stop band rejection in different waveguide filters. However, these approaches are used to spread the higher order resonances to not allow them to contribute significantly near filter passband [12][13] [14].…”

This Paper describes the design procedure of a compact narrowband ceramic loaded filters with wide out of band response. The idea of loading the waveguide filter resonators with ceramic TEM blocks and ceramic ridge blocks are presented. Resonator loading with silver plated transverse electromagnetic (TEM) hole and silver plated ridge ceramic blocks offers wide spurious free bandwidth 2.45 times of center frequency. Simulated and measured results of six pole chebyshev Ceramic ridge loaded filter and simulated results of Ceramic TEM loaded filter are presented in this paper showing excellent outof-band performance. INDEX TERMS Chebyshev, Ceramic loaded, Spurious, Out-of-band, and TEM.
