Band-Pass Filter with Coupled Corrugations and Plated through Holes for C and X Band Applications

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 169, 225-229, 2026
Abstract
A miniaturized microstrip band-pass filter (BPF) with coupled corrugations and plated through holes (PTHs) in the source-load coupling path is designed and fabricated. The proposed filter provides a wide passband at 8.2 GHz. The surface current distributions of the proposed filter are depicted to verify its performance. The proposed filter indicates that the insertion loss is 1.1 dB, and the peak return loss is 36.27 dB at 10 GHz. The proposed filter operates in the wide range of 6.5-10 GHz, which covers both C and X band applications, such as satellite communications, military, and radar systems. The compact size, wide passband, low insertion loss, and high attenuation levels in the stopbands are some of the features of the proposed filter. In addition, the simulated results are validated using measurements.
