In this thesis, a novel MIC (Microwave Integrated Circuit) design methodology, which consistently applies the H-plane discontinuity structures to integrate a multi-function microwave RF module using conventional PCB (printed-circuit-board) fabrication process. Two distinct types of waveguide, namely, microstrip and metallic rectangular waveguide, are simultaneously integrated on the same substrates through the interface mode converters. An X-Band MIC filter prototype, consisting of six H-plane waveguide slits, is built and tested. The insertion loss is under 3 dB at center frequency 9.6 GHz. The measured 3-dB bandwidth is 8.3% from 9.2 GHz to 10.0 GHz. This brand new filter shows an attractive performance and a great potential for implementing the proposed MIC methodology.
