Micromachined Filters at 450 GHz With 1% Fractional Bandwidth and Unloaded Q over 700
摘要： This paper presents two silicon-micromachined narrowband 4th order waveguide filter concepts with center frequency of 450 GHz, which are the first narrowband submillimeter-wave filters implemented in any technology with a fractional bandwidth as low as 1%. Both filters designs are highly compact and have axial port arrangements, so that they can be mounted directly between two standard waveguide flanges without needing any split-block interposers. The first filter concept contains two TM110 dual-mode cavities of circular shape with coupling slots and perturbations arranged in two vertically stacked layers, while the second filter concept is composed of four TE101 series resonators arranged in a folded, two-level topology without cross-couplings. Prototype devices are fabricated in a low-surface roughness deep-silicon etching on silicon-on-insulator wafers. The measured passband insertion loss of two prototype devices of the dual-mode circular-cavity filters is 2.3 dB, and 2.6 dB for three prototypes of the folded filter design. The corresponding extracted unloaded quality factors of the resonators are 786±7 and 703±13 respectively, which are the best so far reported for submillimeter-wave filters in any technology. The presented filters are extremely compact in terms of size; their footprints have areas of only 0.53 and 0.55 mm2, respectively, and the thickness between the waveguide flanges is 0.9 mm.

Harmonic Characterizations of Loaded Resonators for Waveguide Filters
摘要： A new method of controlling and predicting the harmonic responses, for spurious-free window improvement of millimeter-wave bandpass filters, with complete mathematical derivation, is presented in this paper. This method relies on loading a transmission line resonator with inverters, permitting the increase/ decrease of the harmonics-to-fundamental ratios, for predetermined inverter coupling values. It is a universal method based on circuit models and mathematical theories, independent of the fabrication implementation; only typical bandpass filter inverters are necessary. It does not affect or include the design of input/ output resonator ports, with materials and dimensions, introducing the least design complexity, cf. other earlier approaches. Resonators and bandpass filters using substrate integrated waveguide technology are designed, simulated, fabricated, measured and validated. The derived models, simulations and measured results are in good agreement. The control of the harmonic performance is demonstrated by comparing the measurements of two bandpass filters fabricated with-waveguides, in the millimeter-wave band 27.9 to 29.5 GHz. The inverter-loaded resonators, is analyzed versus a conventional iris filter operating with the TE10 mode. The comparisons of the simulations and measurements of the two filters demonstrate experimentally the possibility of the systematic control of the harmonics-to-fundamental ratios of the proposed theoretical analysis.

Tri-post resonator in a rectangular waveguide
摘要： A novel three-in-one waveguide resonator is proposed in the paper. The resonator is composed of three rectangular partial-height posts inserted along a rectangular waveguide cross-section. A pair of posts is mounted symmetrically whereas the third antipodal post is centered. The resonator provides a bandstop response if all the posts are of equal height. Both singlet-type and pseudoelliptic characteristics are achieved if one of the posts differs by its height. Both symmetric and asymmetric configurations are considered. Besides, it is demonstrated that the asymmetric resonator acts as a switching waveguide filter providing the ON and the OFF states to allow/block the signal propagation in a narrow vicinity of a given frequency. A parametric numerical study is performed in order to demonstrate a transformation of the response Measurement data are presented for a single-standing resonator and a two-section pseudoelliptic filter in WR90 waveguide.
