In this letter, a new kind of quasi quarter SIW resonator (QQSIWR) using Sierpinski fractal defected structure is presented first. Comparing with SIW resonator, this novel resonator has lower resonant frequency (f 0 ) and acceptable unloaded quality (Q u ) value, while maintaining almost unchanged electromagnetic fields distributions. The frequency characteristics and Q u of this resonator is investigated under different fractal sizes. To validate the properties of QQSIWR, a miniature cross-coupled bandpass filter (BPF) with a size reduction over 88% is proposed and optimized using Sierpinski fractal structure and cross coupling technology. It can produce asymmetrical frequency response by generating a transmission zero (TZ) on the high side of passband. A prototype of the filter is fabricated and measured, and the measured results are in good agreement well with the simulated ones.
