| Popis: | This article presents new structures and methods of design of miniature third-order substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filters on a high-permittivity ceramic substrate for the C-band. The aim was to appraise the feasibility of such filters by using a 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulator. The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) offers good quality factors and electrical performances compared with other planar techniques. Its integration capabilities and fabrication cost are other benefits that make it attractive. Ceramic material offer electrical properties suitable in designing of passive devices. High relative permittivity with low dielectric losses makes it possible to miniaturize passive components while exhibiting high temperature stability, which is an important selection criterion for a filter designed to equip the payload of a satellite. Three SIW filters were designed on a Trans-Tech ceramic substrate (thickness = 254 mm, er = 90, and tand = 0.0009) with drastic specifications for space application. The first filter is composed of three SIW resonators with direct coupling, the second is composed of three SIW resonators with a cross-coupling to create a transmission zero, and the third is composed of three SIW resonators with circular holes etched on the top of the metal layer to achieve a super-wide band. The obtained results for the proposed filters are presented, discussed, and compared with relevant published literature. The proposed filter can be used to enhance the performance of microwave devices used for C-band, especially Satellite communications. |
