Abstract
A compact wideband quarter mode substrate integrated waveguide (QMSIW) band-pass filter with wide stopband performance is presented in this paper. Compared with conventional SIW cavity, the QMSIW cavity occupies only one fourth of the size. A meandered H-shaped slot is etched on the cavity to change the current direction for size reduction. In order to prove the validity, a compact fourth-order band-pass filter with wide stopband is fabricated on a single-layer Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The measured in-band insertion loss is only 1.02 dB including the loss caused by two connectors, and the stopband attenuation in the frequency band from 4.02 GHz to 12.63 GHz is better than 25 dB. The whole size of the filter is only 20.6×26.8×0.254 mm3.
